In order to get the players he needs, Philippe Clement will want all the assistance can give him in the summer. Every department of the Rangers starting XI will require work.
The budget will be provided by the board, but moving on with the higher paid players who are out of contract and selling players who aren’t contributing will also help.
Although there haven’t been many rumours of possible additions, Rangers have already seen some players from Philippe Clement’s team linked to departures.
It was said that Borna Barisic and Trabzonspor had struck an agreement some time ago, and he won’t be difficult to replace.
Given his brilliance in the first half of the season, Feyenoord is the latest team rumoured to be interested in Sam Lammers, who is lighting up the Eredivisie and may even earn Rangers more than we paid for him.
The largest sports news outlet in Turkey, Sports Digitale, is currently asserting that John Lundstram and Trabzonspor have reached an agreement and are not only in talks:
“Trabzonspor expanded its roster to include Rangers players Borna Barisic and John Lundstram.”
According to reports, both players who are out of contract have agreed to two-year contracts with a third option.
Speaking before of St Mirren’s Scottish Premiership match this coming weekend, Philippe Clement gave an update on the 30-year-old Lundstram’s contract status and expressed his desire for him to stay:
“The club has made offers, but no deal has been reached yet. As of right now, that’s all I have to say.
“Hopefully, that is. I’m sure he enjoys being here and the club. It depends on what your club can provide and what other clubs are providing in this particular circumstance.
That’s the reason I object to key players having expiring contracts; we’ve already discussed this a few times.
“I don’t believe it is beneficial for a club. It is undoubtedly something that will never occur again while I am here.
Rangers shouldn’t give players over 30 anything longer than one-year contracts unless there are really special circumstances, such as those involving Ally McCoist, Richard Gough, or Jack Butland.
When a player consents to a two- or three-year contract extension,
Rangers shouldn’t stoop to appease them; rather, the team should always aim to have a core of seasoned players and a leadership group.
No player is more important to the team than the club, as Paul Gascoigne, Terry Butcher, Graham Roberts, and Andy Goram all discovered during their time at Rangers.
given just 11 goals in his Ibrox career, John Lundstram is undoubtedly not as good as Rangers, nor should he be among the top salaries even given his availability.
All players are interchangeable, so if Lundstram chooses not to play for Rangers under the club’s policies, he can go with the many others and swiftly come to regret it.
