Why can't Rangers recoup decent transfer fees as Cantwell and Hagi remain on books? | Hotline Live

written in in response to the news about kwell and the ongoing sagas around them he said we can't even give our players away well Celtics s Fringe players like oer two and a half million Mikey Johnson two and a half million L 2 million Hax abovich 2 million seis 1 million don't know about that to be fair and kobai Ashi for 1 million that's 11 million quid and yet Ranger Scott they can't give Haj you away and the numbers getting thrown about for cill just I mean we could have a round and for the five team honestly the GU right and this has been bugging me for a while about Rangers just an an inability to be able to bring in proper fees for players that are maybe not out of the first team or ready to move on or I mean it just as you say these the thing is is fascinating because well here's a guy who was playing at the Euros in the summer for Romania um fully fit contracted we know although nobody for Rangers has committ admitted it but we fairly certain that he's got a clause and he's deal that if he plays one more game he gets a big wage hike there might even be money has to go to gank or whatever but haji's came out today and said look well he's hinted that no there can be a way around that because he's just desperate to desperate to play this is a boy that was Rangers won the league I know that was know three years ago now but he was the he was the highest assist maker in the Scottish Premiership a key player for them domestically and in Europe now he got a bad injury and he's obviously struggled a bit coming back for injury know initially didn't quite look the same player but after a lone spell which was probably the right thing to do initially he's come back as I say went to the Euros for his country and now seems to be been treated like a like a complete Outcast by by the club I'm not saying he's going to come into Rangers Midfield and solve all the problems and know make sure they know they put up a title challenge this year but in terms of the way he's been treated it seems to me that his value is is depreciating every every day so if you've decided whenever it was that this guy wasn't a part of the plans surely you have to somehow keep them involved or keep them playing it keep his value relatively high and then when it comes to actually moving him on I've say this to you before that is a key part I can of know almost an unseen part of the director of football head of recruitment's job everybody talks about you know sporting directors and head of recruitments as if it's all about signing players a huge part of that job is is having an ability to get to get clubs coming in to buy your players and get get decent fees for them Celtic have done it incredibly well as you've highlighted there but to be sitting here the know thinking about as you say Boston La a B team player at Celtic going to an English Championship club for a couple of million Mikey Johnson who we all du respect I think Mikey Johnson's a good player but out the picture at Celtic are going to pick up another two two and a half million for Sheffield United for Rangers to be know T Haj you about almost as a free transfer just to just to get rid him just to get off the books just strikes me as mismanagement it's just just wrong um and canwell was another one we seen fees getting banded about the day 500 Grand we were laughing off air obviously the clip that's doing the rounds on social media for three years ago when ason Val were reportedly in for can't well in or and asking price was between 40 and 50 million I mean it's laughable now but to me there's a there's a serious point in there in terms of whatever you think he can't well he's under contract to Rangers his numbers I've seen his numbers today in terms of goals and assists actually pretty decent the last year and a half he's been there probably better than I thought he's got a decent reputation in England Rangers should have people in place who are qualified and experienced enough to be able to get these players off the books but bring in decent decent money for them and if the two of them go for next to nothing the board or maybe even fans people at come might think well it's just a case of getting them out we need to get the wages down whatever but I think if they two guys go with the age profile and the talent they've got for less than a million less maybe less than half a million between them that just seems ridiculous to me I don't know what phaser thinks of that yeah it's hard to disagree with any of that the Haj one in particular I find really strange I kind of quite get my head around it I think we're led to believe it's kind of the way Philip clont wants to play it doesn't have that high intensity um to get about the part that Philip clemont's want to demand from every player he has but one thing yanis does have is that that magic to turn the game um whether he's playing in that kind of number 10 role whether it's out wide I think it's shown it like you said before before he got that injury again it was stering albian wasn't it a League Cup game a Scotti St albian before then I thought it was one of Ranger's most dangerous players and that's why they shed out to bring him back in after his Lo spell so when you look at that Rangers Squad right now I I don't see many game changers in there certainly never thought Todd canwell Was Won we'll come on him in a minute but I think in Yad they've got one and
