Ryan Kent

Talk of 6/7 million, good business, he'll never make it with us.

[Buzzo]

If the talk is of 6-7m then I’d be surprised if he ends up at Rangers.

£7million needed to seal Kent deal
Rangers and Liverpool continue talks over winger

The mood music this summer had been that Liverpool's Ryan Kent would simply be too expensive for Rangers in terms of a permanent deal, but that situation appears to have changed.

For the moment talks continue between the clubs for over a permanent deal for the winger who made a big impact on loan at Ibrox last season. I understand £7million is how much Rangers will need to pay to bring Kent north of the border.

It would be a big signing for Steven Gerrard's side who yesterday lost the Old Firm Derby with Celtic 2-0 at Ibrox.

Just saw that, I stand corrected.

That's a massive fee by Ranger's standards.

Yeah it's pretty big. There was talk of us wanting £12m for him last week.

Wonder if there's a hefty sell on clause 30%+ given the seemingly reduced fee

Europe qualification probably changed the stance.

Who'd have Rangers gambling money they don't have yet.

It worked for Peter Ridsdale and Leeds.

Oh hold on

£7m for a kid who has only ever played once for us

Madness.

Again, makes the £8m we paid for Robbo look obscene.

that was one of the best signings by any club in the last ten years.

Every time I see him play, I think "****in hell......Hull City!!!"

Awesome player

Must be difficult going on loan to a different club every year


Rangers: Ryan Kent has found 'a home' at Ibrox after £7m Liverpool exit

Ryan Kent says he wants to put right "unfinished business" from last year after signing a permanent deal with Rangers.

The winger completed a £7m transfer from Liverpool late on deadline day, penning a four-year contract.

Kent scored six goals in 43 appearances for Rangers last season as the club finished nine points behind Scottish Premiership winners Celtic.

"I'm over the moon," Kent told Rangers TV.

"I got a feel for what it was to be a Rangers player, I felt like there was unfinished business from last year and I am hoping to put that right.

"I knew, if I kept myself correct, something good would happen soon and I have been ticking over, keeping myself to myself and this has happened now.

"After last season, I have evolved even more as a player and I think now if I could add that final end product to my game then it is going to be a good season for me and for the team."

Kent admits he is happy to have found a "home" after a period of uncertainty in his career.

Prior to coming on loan to Rangers last season, the Englishman spent temporary spells at Coventry City, Barnsley, Freiburg and Bristol City, while he also played for Liverpool during pre-season.

"I won't lie - it has been incredibly tough over the summer, but I am a mentally strong person as it is anyway," he said.

"It was massively important to find a home. For the past four years now, I have been on the move to different places and last year was the first time I have felt content with the football club I am at.

"The fans and the people within the team, the coaches, the players, everybody welcomed me with open arms and not just as a player but as a friend. My home is here now."

Good luck to the lad. Complete opposite attitude to Duncan
