BackOfTheNet Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 1 minute ago, Mr Elwood P said: Why would Rangers expect double the money from a Scottish club? They know the financial realities of our league. They just want to offload players now. This isn't Harry Kane! Not just Rangers, but we’d do it too. We’d expect a much higher fee from a league competitor than a club outside our league. As the fee is normally compensation for losing a player, if it’s a competitor then the fee is enlarged as compensation needs to be for potential competition and loss of points as well.

Shame he took unwell. Remember he got booked at Aberdeen for his celebration. Goal at Aberdeen is up there with one of the best goals Hearts have ever scored. Morphed into Barcelona for that play.

Pretty decent for a 21 year old, I've no idea how the costa rican league compares to the SPFL but he sounds relatively promising. No idea about the league but he's with the Costa Rican national team at the Gold Cup (hasn't made it onto the pitch though) and they are 9 places above Scotland in the world rankings. Also full name is Kenneth Gerardo Vargas Vargas, so good they named him twice! And his squad number of choice appears to be 15, it's written in the stars!

jamboinglasgow Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=5701401503246973 Another of his goals, certainly in the videos he shows great finishing ability. An interesting one, always love an exotic transfer. As someone said earlier does feel a little bit hibs but I think that is because they have signed a few unknowns from Central America. But Costa Rica is a country that has been at the last 3 World Cups, and has genuinely done well, so there is talent in the country. Also if Club Brugge were sniffing around him earlier in the window its a good sign, Belgian clubs are good a picking up young talent from around the world and building them up. Something I would love to see us specialise in. We are doing it with Australian talent, looking to get Japanese talent, so getting a player from Latin America (if they do well) can also open that market up for us as well.

Aye, I thought you were getting confused with England. Rangers don't regard us as competition mate. They'll take £500k from anyone to free up the wages. Celtic loan players to Aberdeen ffs. Our biggest transfer sales have been to clubs outside Scotland too. Never seen us demand money from the Old Firm. You're maybe thinking that we refused to sell players to the Old Firm at points?
