I couldn't care less if he was the least known player on the planet. As long as he comes and does a job for us that's all that matters. Nobody heard of Morelos, Nsiala, Igamane, Balogun, Bassey, Aribo and many more. When are some fans going to realise that the days of signing known names from european leagues are over.
Exactly man, there's real gems out there we've seen glimpses with jefte nsiala Igamane under koppen..let him build for the future and avoid the career journeymen who wants a fortune a week
hello everyone! An early upload today but an upload that's very welcome as we bring in another CB to bolster our fragile backline with some height & some pace.. I'll take it! How do you feel about Rafael? And do you think we still need another one in this window? Or has Rafael got the potential to be what we need?
Never heard of this one before Cj hopefully he's the spark in the centre that's been missing wish him all the best at the club , 3 good points He's young , he's tall and he's fast .
I liked Bjorklund. He never got long enough here. He ended up being excellent at Valencia, he came back to haunt us with A Valencia side that had Claudio Lopes and Mendieta. He was a strong CB.
Left for what some thought was a backward move, fast forward a year & him & his Valencia team spanked what was arguably the strongers Gers team assembled in 99, Great servant when he was here 🇬🇧
Was looking at another video and as soon I seen you put one up I switched off and put yours on . Always the best information and best rangers posts. I always recommend you
CB? Check! Young? Check! Talented? on paper, check! In reality, idk. This is exactly the type of signing we should be making (along with Cameron & Mulligan) ... but we've got to PLAY these players to increase their value, not rely on age 30+ players (who should be backups)
Agreed mate. I believe we be should ditch our academy and be signing at least a dozen of these ready made players with the profile you mention and straight into the a larger squad. Get rid of the money draining academy and buy up a dozen or more of the best younger men players already plying their trade in their top leagues. Players of this age won't be made into more skilful players but will grow as they learn what level of performance is expected and demanded, also to learn how to play their position in the teams' playing systems. Our academy much like many many more of the top teams, just doesn't work for us. It never has.
Hopefully at the very least he can fill in for injured players and do a decent job for us until the end of the season. Ideally he could possibly turn out to be a very good defender that we want to keep, but even if he doesn't quite make it, if he's good enough to solidify our defence a bit it's all good.
Cheers CJ great content as always. Nsiala should be given a run to the end of the season. we all know the league is gone, so why not play him and see what the end of season brings. Fernandes will be a good back up with the amount of injuries we get.
Nothing to loose with a loan and the option to buy. Pace at the back sounds good and always love a defender that can carry the ball out and break some lines
It's really really inexperienced but they'll never get the experience if they aren't played? On paper they'd compliment each others play styles but just depends if they get a chance Final 10 games of the league season? Why not run It and then make a decision if we want to keep Rafael?
You deserve the 66k CJ you’re the best rangers UA-cam channel out there mate. Agree with you 99.9% of the time, I know you don’t want to do the whole press thing but wish you did as the others don’t ask the questions or pin point the issues the fans want answered 💙🇬🇧👏👍🏼
Good height, good age and a product of Sportings academy so it might end up being a good signing. We do need that pace at the back and maybe PC will get him on the trampoline to work on his jumping. What is the other position you think we will be working on big man?
He is raw but the Lille scouting department have a very good reputation . Was always going to be a like for like loan deal to replace Kasanwirjo. He looks a unit and likes a wee run out from the back . A bit of polish required . On 10% of Ben Davies take home a week . I go the Fernandes route every day of the year over recalling Ben Doonigan 👍
Thanks man, will be interesting to see if Rafael can kick on and develop that mean streak especially on the air as he has it on the deck..will just depend if he can adjust to Scottish football man If he does we might be alright giving him and Clinton a run towards the end of the season? Dessers will leave so another striker would be nice especially with danilos injury issues
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Can’t really see where we can go wrong, if he doesn’t make it, we’ve not lost anything, and if he doesn’t make it , we can buy him at the end of the season.
Exactly man too many getting caught up on he's not katic.. he doesn't need to be imo if he adjusts to the physicality of Scottish football he'll be really good
@ aye I would give it a go with both of them in home games and games like Sunday (if he can play?)… rumours of Lawrence, Matondo, Dowell and Dessers all leaving so if we can get rid of them that’s a step in the right direction
Another young foreign import… what has Leon King done to deserve the way he’s being treated at our club? Rangers fan and a promising young SCOTTISH boy, our fans look down our nose and say he isn’t good enough… based on what???! It’s fucking mental how much we hate our own.
Okay, we’ve never heard of him but, in a way, that’s precisely the point. How different in age profile does our squad look today compared to one year ago? The decision to go for young players with the potential to develop and be sold on can be clearly seen. Yes, we have to forget about winning the league but a cup could be possible and would help the fans to stick with the project. Remember, in spite of all our many problems this season, we still sit second in the league. Let’s give the youngsters a chance and, equally importantly, our solid support for the rest of the season and then review our progress in the summer.
Plus points are if he doesn't adapt to the Scottish game which lets be honest is very different to European (Just ask Propper) then he's only here for 6 mths. If he does take to the game and does well, we have the option to buy and hopefully by that time we'll have some money to do so. Time will tell.
There more interested because he's named Rafael and the others Scottish. Don't know if someone else said it but Jefte Nsiala Fernandes Sterling Ooft , hopefully the 2 newbies are good enough and we get to see this very young defencive line-up star for a few years before making us a LOT of money.
I just think the physical differences is huge man, Rafael strength on the ground and in a tackle seems night and day from what Leon's shown in his time would love to see Leon but Clinton's getting a run over him despite never playing probably shows what the gaffer thinks of Leon and where he's headed
@@cjnovo992 yeah it’s just I’d want to develop our own academy players rather than have them rotting away in the b team and bench not even getting a loan move
Let’s keep in mind PCs wish list… a strong bench with players who can play multiple positions. Assuming everyone fits in, and is healthy, the back line: Jefte, Nana, Nsiala, Fernandes, Sterling, Propper (yes, for Europe and as a mentor), and Balogun (give him another year as a true, as needed, player). Exciting foundation.
Thanks for the video it’s 10.29 pm in Australia but when i saw it on UA-cam i needed to listen to your knowledge you have found. Please tell me he can head a ball in defence and at corners. Is he bought or loan deal? Any chance we can clone Balagun? Cheers.
Yes got a decent aerial duel rate so far but the data isn't exactly what it'll be up here man so it's hard to tell..dealing with 2/3 long balls a game in Portugal Vs 2/3 every 10 minutes is a big difference He gets stuck in on the ground though..so hopefully he adjusts quickly!
Good points.. about height… Nigel spackman was an unsung hero .. as a utility 6ft man… great player in midfield and in defence never let the gers down… and was on the end of a lot of late challenges by them… as they knew he was rangers engine room…. A real unsung star at Glasgow rangers.. think souness or smith aquired that. Ex Liverpool man.. a real strider in midfield… tall and athletic and honest player…
Wondering why we decided to bring in a young centre back on loan with little first team experience to try and develop when we had a young centre back with little first team experience in the form of leon king who has played champions league and we could have tried to develop. Cant deny the success of some of the young project players we have brought in but seems like there is little desire to help develop the young scots we currently have.
@@cjnovo992 Do you know what the value of the option to buy is? This signing must signal the end of Leon King's time at the club. I noticed Leon just going through the motions at the recent training video, which goes to undermining of standards.
Only thing with loans (Sima prime example) is if they play well, their price grows, they gather interest from say English leagues & we can't afford him🤷♂️ We've targeted the loan market too many times, no need for it during winter window, even this depleted squad should canter to 2nd 🇬🇧
Strange signing at this time of the season. It has taken Nsiala six months to get near the first team. I don't expect this guy to add much at all and with the curtailment of the B team it makes very little sense.
Great news, another loan. Give 4 million for him now. I hope he is ready for a cold Wednesday night up in Dingwall. Seriously though, as long as he does a job for us while he is here that will be 👍
for me i would just continue with nsiala as he has done well and seems to be growing with every game,hopefully this move doesnt hold that back,young players need games and will make mistakes which we all know get magnified under the rangers microscope but in time they will learn and nsiala seems like that player,i think we do need cover as balogun isnt a back to back game player at his age,propper is still not adapting to the spfl and souttar out for a while and sterling injury prone,kasanwirjo gone for the season,to me this feels like his replacement as he seems to have similar attributes that will be useful for the team if he can find his feet quickly and stay off the dreaded physios table!
Just a loan or option to buy etc doesn’t make sense if just a loan . Prob not getting much game time if balogun fit n insilla n then Souter fit in 2-3 week, if it’s not a long termm then it’s pointless
We need a fix at CB, we get one in, all i see is more moaning. Cannae win with alot if this fanbase just now. Starting to think most of you are AI bots.
Where's the "skinto" or "he'll be the best in the league after 1 game" brigade? Usually all over everything rangers before us rangers fans.. On a serious note this looks like a good move at a relatively low risk for us
Kudos on getting the video up so quickly CJ! Hope this guy does well, but honestly, I'm "meh" at best. Clement has been going on all this season about players taking time to adapt, even Propper who was an experienced player. And it took about 7 months and an injury crisis for Nsiala to be given a chance. So, how can we expect someone who hasn't even played a minute of senior football this season to come in and be able to adapt to Scottish football in the space of about 5 months? It also potentially takes away minutes from Nsiala who we actually have on the books permanently and should be developing. Just find it a bit of a strange one. Maybe he'll surprise us and be a good signing, let's hope so. Also just strongly suggests Rangers have no money at all to spend and/or the board aren't willing to give Clement any money to spend.
Is he a loan or a signing ? Can he header a ball ? If he's not comfortable on the ball and he's not a no nonsense defender why have we signed him ? We need a defender not Forest Gump
He has a good aerial duel winning rate man but its a different kettle of fish up here with the amount of long balls he'll be facing so you just never know A no nonsense defender unfortunately isn't something we want
I was excited until you said he's 6 ft 3 but cany power header, hes getting signed as of injuries, but it will be 4 months before hes ready phil? Hope he becomes a superstar but the IOU's are mounting up....
The fans who are walk in out in protest are a disgrace it's the low block which should be banned in Scottish football it's holding the league back are slot described it perfectly when he played forest but it keeps us in good stead when we play clubs who actually want to play football look at European runs we are becoming a force along with Celtic and the other clubs will get better in Europe in time maybe the Saudis might start investing am surprised they never tried to buy the league rather than making there own in the Dessert, but am becoming very impressed by Clemont ,especially with all the different jobs he's juggling and our youth is improving ,a project exactly ,strong foundations,so what's happened will never happen again and we will be getting to the later stages of regularly ,thanks to Phillips and Gio ,Gerrard we are a team for the first time not to be taken lightly well done Rangers am proud of you all except Dessers who by the way could get better now ,Igamane is first choice that was a great goal he scored against Aberdeen ,Dessers a mean so keep up the good 👍 work phillipe and don't let the fans who obviously can't see the big picture get to you just keep going the way you're going to on and Igamane should stay for another 4 years we will be a European super power soon
Good to have another option and hopefully he turns out like some of the other recent younger signings. Do you think they will throw him straight in for some minutes tomorrow or is he heading down Ikea?
I think we're gonna need to get used to this type of player coming in . Injury prone players we have is unreal, danilo and cortez out again 11 12 million quid just on two players spending more time out than in 😢
6 min 50 seconds We are a project at the moment, with all those youngsters, I don’t think many Manager’s would have the baws, to field such a young Rangers team, gambling his own credibility’s to restructure a Club,
Not stating the facts yous had to get players of the wage bill before signing anyone where these multimillion players you've been chasing, chasing your tails more like
If he anything like jeftte… he be decent enough for the Scottish porridge gobbling leauge of Aussie rules footballl… and refs have to be more consistent on shirt pulling .. jumps on players backs and elbows up from behind.. 2 blatant fouls against rangers v Celtic last time went un punished .. but Celtic don,t foul you they just play great footballl… aye when they winning.. for they know when there going too get beat and start the dirt…. And get away with it…
I couldn't care less if he was the least known player on the planet. As long as he comes and does a job for us that's all that matters.

If Rafael can head the ball and clear his lines, then he will do well in Rangers' defence. Something we have been missing for a while.
@Nunyabuisness80 Well said, could not have said any better than your comment
Aye your right👊🏼
Balogun has always been a great defender, definitely not a hidden gem lol
hello everyone! An early upload today but an upload that's very welcome as we bring in another CB to bolster our fragile backline with some height & some pace.. I'll take it!
How do you feel about Rafael? And do you think we still need another one in this window? Or has Rafael got the potential to be what we need?
Nsiala is 21 as is this guy Fernandes. Leon Kings Rangers career looks over.
Just started watching but YESSSS , about ff'n time.
I love the way you really appreciate everyone who watches your channel , genuinely see that so keep up the good work sir. 👏👏👏.
Im happy with the signing CJ i just hope we play him week in week out im fed up hearing he needs time to bed in in comments or hes not ready yet
We can only hope he's got what it takes Cj , better to try and fail , than to fail to try , COM'ON RANGERS
Everyone needs to ride this out and support the club it will keep getting better and better 👍 follow follow
Great comment mate 👍
To be fair sporting Lisbon produce good talent and Lille has a good track record of signing young talent so hopefully he'll be good
I'm pretty positive I think about this one man
Got to agree with you on that, we can only but try hopefully he does what's expected of him and injuries stay away
Never heard of this one before Cj hopefully he's the spark in the centre that's been missing wish him all the best at the club , 3 good points He's young , he's tall and he's fast .
Can anybody here remember Jocky Bjorklunds pace ?? Phenomenal at getting back !
I liked Bjorklund. He never got long enough here. He ended up being excellent at Valencia, he came back to haunt us with A Valencia side that had Claudio Lopes and Mendieta. He was a strong CB.
Left for what some thought was a backward move, fast forward a year & him & his Valencia team spanked what was arguably the strongers Gers team assembled in 99, Great servant when he was here

@johnchalmers8142 that was a great Rangers team but Valencia were full of talent.
Good man always appreciate the player profile breakdowns.
Thanks man! I like the look of him hopefully he relishes the battles he'll get up here 🤝
Came straight here to see if you done a breakdown & here it is🔴⚪️🔵 thanks CJ👍
Was looking at another video and as soon I seen you put one up I switched off and put yours on . Always the best information and best rangers posts. I always recommend you
Haha I'm not sure about that but I appreciate it man!
Done the exact same thing my algorithm puts big CJ at the top every time I go to home love it
CB? Check! Young? Check! Talented? on paper, check! In reality, idk. This is exactly the type of signing we should be making (along with Cameron & Mulligan) ... but we've got to PLAY these players to increase their value, not rely on age 30+ players (who should be backups)
Couldn't agree more man..let them play!
Agreed mate. I believe we be should ditch our academy and be signing at least a dozen of these ready made players with the profile you mention and straight into the a larger squad.

@@hedley9417 you need to have an academy to play in European competitions
Correct we have to become the best in the country at giving younger players opportunity and moulding a side from that.

Never a bother man thanks for watching hopefully he ends up being exactly what we need!
Cheers CJ great content as always. Nsiala should be given a run to the end of the season. we all know the league is gone, so why not play him and see what the end of season brings. Fernandes will be a good back up with the amount of injuries we get.
A young Lad with Bags of potential. Sounds like very good business. Well done Clement
Nothing to loose with a loan and the option to buy. Pace at the back sounds good and always love a defender that can carry the ball out and break some lines
Let’s hope sports science don’t want to wait 3 months for him to get up to speed before he gets a chance
Rumour has it an advanced party has already been sent to Ikea so we should be good on that front 👍
Hopefully has a new set of curtains already up so he can get some game time tomorrow
Let’s hope so 😂
The sports science team at Ibrox is headed up by Bunsen & Beaker from Sesame Street😂🇬🇧
No time wasted there cj nice one
No rest for me in January 😭🤣
Here's hoping we end up with a Nsiala/Fernandes CB pairing in the future.
It's really really inexperienced but they'll never get the experience if they aren't played? On paper they'd compliment each others play styles but just depends if they get a chance
Final 10 games of the league season? Why not run It and then make a decision if we want to keep Rafael?
@cjnovo992 I meant further in the future, but they should absolutely try and get them played together this season, its dead anyway.
We're just breaking Nsiala in for a bigger team, EPL prospect🇬🇧🤷♂️
Height and pace is something we seriously lack away from home in Scotland.
& also unable to shoot from 25 yards plus🤷♂️🇬🇧
Let's just get behind him and hope he shines.

Good luck the young man ♥️🤍💙
Bags of potential it looks like. Very fast, would fancy him to beat Jefte over 100m.
How hard is it to find a caber tossing six footer barn door that can head a ball 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧💙
Keep up the good work bud. What positions you think we need this january. Surly another strong centre half and another striker

“WE GOT ONE!” then she hit the buzzer 👻

Young speedy tall CB is what we need.
Exactly man too many getting caught up on he's not katic.. he doesn't need to be imo if he adjusts to the physicality of Scottish football he'll be really good
Was hoping for a British type CB as we need for our league but welcome son
We did spend nearly 3 million on Ben Davies TBF.. Rafael can't do much worse
Like a Ben Davies, Conor Goldson type 🙈 couldn't careless where they come from as long as they do a job

@@Jake-jgh64haha I know bro hopefully Rafael fancies it up here and shows what he can do
I dunno man, it’s a weird one, like you said he better not be coming in to play ahead of Nsiala, unless we are buying him at the end of the loan.
The options there man probably should have made it clear but I just think why not try them both? Both could be our future ones a LCB and ones a RCB

I hope he doesn't have to wait 2 months before he gets a game. Let's see what he can do.
Fingers crossed
Okay, we’ve never heard of him but, in a way, that’s precisely the point. How different in age profile does our squad look today compared to one year ago?

Always give someone who is going to pull on the blue jersey all support ' hopefully he turns out an excellent loan-signing. Watp loyal
Plus points are if he doesn't adapt to the Scottish game which lets be honest is very different to European (Just ask Propper) then he's only here for 6 mths. If he does take to the game and does well, we have the option to buy and hopefully by that time we'll have some money to do so. Time will tell.
There more interested because he's named Rafael and the others Scottish. Don't know if someone else said it but Jefte Nsiala Fernandes Sterling Ooft , hopefully the 2 newbies are good enough and we get to see this very young defencive line-up star for a few years before making us a LOT of money.
Fur me CJ, the excitement comes from signing a player that plays a position that we're really needing reinforcements in!
Instead of bringing this guy in why don’t we play king in more games? Although I am quietly excited about him
I just think the physical differences is huge man, Rafael strength on the ground and in a tackle seems night and day from what Leon's shown in his time would love to see Leon but Clinton's getting a run over him despite never playing probably shows what the gaffer thinks of Leon and where he's headed
Because King Is absolutely terrible that's why.
King is by far Rangers worst defender.

Boys looks like he needs a feed. Send him doon tae blue lagoon pronto lol finally good to see us signing a CH, 🫡CJ
CJ you're forgetting he's coming to Rangers where a yellow is a given from officials
If Rafael turns out to be outstanding you can rest assured that the cohort of Celtic-minded officials will book him into submission.
I'll give him a week and he'll injured in training and out for 3 months CJ and he will hate the weather but love the £££££££££money 💯‼️
We need a fix at CB, we get one in, all i see is more moaning.
Cannae win with alot if this fanbase just now.
Starting to think most of you are AI bots.
Or Celtic-minded in disguise.
Where's the "skinto" or "he'll be the best in the league after 1 game" brigade? Usually all over everything rangers before us rangers fans.. On a serious note this looks like a good move at a relatively low risk for us
Surely leon king isn't the best young Scottish CB at Murray park 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Kudos on getting the video up so quickly CJ! Hope this guy does well, but honestly, I'm "meh" at best. Clement has been going on all this season about players taking time to adapt, even Propper who was an experienced player. And it took about 7 months and an injury crisis for Nsiala to be given a chance. So, how can we expect someone who hasn't even played a minute of senior football this season to come in and be able to adapt to Scottish football in the space of about 5 months? It also potentially takes away minutes from Nsiala who we actually have on the books permanently and should be developing. Just find it a bit of a strange one. Maybe he'll surprise us and be a good signing, let's hope so. Also just strongly suggests Rangers have no money at all to spend and/or the board aren't willing to give Clement any money to spend.
Rafael may end up partnering Nsiala in defence.
@neilmckechnie6638 Would be interesting to see that. Would love that to be something that could work.
He's no even played a game in Europe so it's probably gonna be hard for him. Lile signed him and didn't use him
Time will tell.
🔴⚪🔵
Is he a loan or a signing ? Can he header a ball ? If he's not comfortable on the ball and he's not a no nonsense defender why have we signed him ? We need a defender not Forest Gump
He has a good aerial duel winning rate man but its a different kettle of fish up here with the amount of long balls he'll be facing so you just never know
A no nonsense defender unfortunately isn't something we want
Why is no one asking questions about scaping the B team
I was excited until you said he's 6 ft 3 but cany power header,
hes getting signed as of injuries, but it will be 4 months before hes ready phil?
Hope he becomes a superstar but the IOU's are mounting up....
They will be worth more if the stay in the team and win the league then and only them will any player go out the door for big money. Seasons away lol
Answers have been praised, HOWEVER if mr Belgian fruit loop takes nsiala out of the squad and 11 there will be problems
The fans who are walk in out in protest are a disgrace it's the low block which should be banned in Scottish football it's holding the league back are slot described it perfectly when he played forest but it keeps us in good stead when we play clubs who actually want to play football look at European runs we are becoming a force along with Celtic and the other clubs will get better in Europe in time maybe the Saudis might start investing am surprised they never tried to buy the league rather than making there own in the Dessert, but am becoming very impressed by Clemont ,especially with all the different jobs he's juggling and our youth is improving ,a project exactly ,strong foundations,so what's happened will never happen again and we will be getting to the later stages of regularly ,thanks to Phillips and Gio ,Gerrard we are a team for the first time not to be taken lightly well done Rangers am proud of you all except Dessers who by the way could get better now ,Igamane is first choice that was a great goal he scored against Aberdeen ,Dessers a mean so keep up the good 👍 work phillipe and don't let the fans who obviously can't see the big picture get to you just keep going the way you're going to on and Igamane should stay for another 4 years we will be a European super power soon
29 games in 5 years 😅
Happy days, get another 10 in on loan and ya's are fuckin flying....... 😂
Good to have another option and hopefully he turns out like some of the other recent younger signings. Do you think they will throw him straight in for some minutes tomorrow or is he heading down Ikea?
Lad doesn’t have to be amazing, just don’t be utter gash plz
It's a low bar...he surely steps over it 😭
I think we're gonna need to get used to this type of player coming in . Injury prone players we have is unreal, danilo and cortez out again 11 12 million quid just on two players spending more time out than in 😢
That was a lot of waffle CJ... Trump would be proud
6 min 50 seconds We are a project at the moment, with all those youngsters, I don’t think many Manager’s would have the baws, to field such a young Rangers team, gambling his own credibility’s to restructure a Club,
And there’s the bomb the guy hasn’t played for a year and injury prone what’s the F IS GOING ON
It is irrelevent if Rafael was injured in the past as he won't be playing for us, in the past.
Excuse me for not getting excited he'll get ragdolled in this league
Hes played 17 pro games in his puff. His announcement video was embarrassing. Saying hes a ger his whole life. Clown.
Not stating the facts yous had to get players of the wage bill before signing anyone where these multimillion players you've been chasing, chasing your tails more like
If he anything like jeftte… he be decent enough for the Scottish porridge gobbling leauge of Aussie rules footballl… and refs have to be more consistent on shirt pulling .. jumps on players backs and elbows up from behind.. 2 blatant fouls against rangers v Celtic last time went un punished .. but Celtic don,t foul you they just play great footballl… aye when they winning.. for they know when there going too get beat and start the dirt…. And get away with it…
Positively 🗑 believes me
