Absolutely no chance they could afford it, and why would he want to go there and stagnate. In fact, I hope we're done with dealing with them for all future transfers.

Bazzas right boot Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Rangers put in their box. Still say any Interest from them will just spark a few clubs down south to move. If he plays well in the sc final, I reckon he'll be gone. That will be final straw for any interested clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennant's 6's Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Good. Tells it as it is, Soutter isn't an old firm sycophant. Maybe one more solid season, and he could be off to a decent Championship team, although I could see him being in demand from abroad, like Germany or Holland. Hopefully in the near future our young players will achieve things (Cup Finals/ Euro fitba) before they leave to a better league, not along the M8 to play in the sane footballing backwater for the rest if they'd careers.

SE16 3LN Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I was talking to Mike Martin last night, albeit very briefly, and all the advice JS is being given is to leave Scotland if he leaves Hearts. Everyone at Dundee Utd, Hearts and within the Scotland set up know just how good he could be and that Rangers would be the wrong choice. But what does Mike Martin know?

Robbo-Jambo Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 He is correctly being very coy about Naismith but I think he will play in the cup final or at worst be on the bench and also think he will be here next season on a permanent deal.

upgotheheads Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 John Souttar did the right thing by us by extending his contract. When he does leave, maybe in the close season next year, it will be for a lot more than Sevco are able or prepared to pay. One more factor, JS is an intelligent young man who will have offers from the EPL, he is ambitious and will recognise a dead-end like Sevco when he sees one.

Giants such as Bournemouth, Cardiff Norwich, Hull, Burnley, Leeds or even a Southampton level club will come in and make rangers look like what rangers fans themselves call a "Diddy club".

haveyouheard 22 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Rangers for me could afford Soapy but that would leave them with he haw or next to nothing left They will of course try to cherry pick anyone available but thankfully we have the Kid on a long term deal which will scupper those weegie maggots attempts, which is sweet as ferk, changed days eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Souttar is too good to risk progressing via Rangers. I think Levein will tell him that and keep telling him. It's big money for us when Soutter leaves. Rangers part in that will be as spectators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Naismith may well be looking good for fitness but Levein wont say anything now because of the risk of a set back. Saying anything to suggest a player is already a guaranteed pick sends out an iffy message to other players. They all deserve encouragement to compete for a pick.

Portable Badger Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Soapy will be going South when it's time to go. Rankers have no frigging chance of securing him while he's got a hole in his arse!!! Naisy - fantastic signal from CL and those on JKB recently who 'had a chat with SN'. It would surprise me if he's not the Manager in 2 years time.

Jerah Jambo Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 It never ceases to amaze that the Scottish media seem to think that any young player showing real potential have, as the the height of their ambition, to play for one of the Old Firm. With the money splashing around the English game and clubs from Europe looking at the UK as a market as well, the opportunities for them has never been better and I'm quite sure JS is aware of that.
