Probably best for all parties if this happens. You’d think we won’t allow it until we secure another forward (especially with Fabio off), but then Sasa is offering nothing at the moment anyway.

Yep it's a pity, think it's one of GONs biggest failings that he can't get some use out of him but if he's not playing then there's no point him being here.

That’s one where I am bemused about GON. He’s not perfect though

 

[Jinky]

On Fabio, he’s posted an hourglass on his Instagram, so hopefully that means he’s off soon.

 

[YoungWolf]

We won't get rid of him permanently but hopefully he gets a decent enough loan, scores some goals and we can claw back a tiny bit of money back for him.

The money doesn't matter so much for me now, so much of his amortisation has been written down (in the meantime, he looks no different on the pitch to how he did three and a half years ago) that he isn't the kind of deadweight on the books that Guedes is. Just move him on, don't kick the can down the road, don't play @Tony Towner 's favourite of "he's only", don't hope against hope that he might suddenly mature and turn into a proper option, get him gone and draw a line under it.

He looks worse than he did a few years back if anything. Certainly at Prem level.

Fabio to Rangers on loan with no option to buy. Tweeted by Romano.

 

[Carrotdude]

That feels like it might be a good fit for him - standard wise at least.

 

[Alan]

As long as he's not here. Who cares what money we get or don't at this point... Just get him away from the squad until his contract is out.

No option is a shame, but it means if he does have a good few months then he'll have plenty of suitors in the summer.

 

[The Bear]

Oh and there's no way Sasa is going out on loan with Hwang missing for almost a month as of Jan 1st.

A match made in hell

 

[Alan]

A match made in hell

Your fist + Fab's face?

 

[Jack Regan]

Shame he's signing a day too late for the Old Firm game, as he could have made himself an instant hero.

Lets face it if he can't hack a league where Adam le Fondre and Christian Doidge are getting regular game time up front, then he's totally fucked.

SPL goals are no currency at all

English teams do identify good performers as transfer targets though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If he scored 20 in 20 for Rangers, we would still get no bids for him from another PL team.

 

[HanDoJin]

Must be fun playing in front of 50k rabid neds though, as much as we scoff at the quality

 

[Kenny]

If he scored 20 in 20 for Rangers, we would still get no bids for him from another PL team.

Just need German/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese teams to want him.

Plenty of interest ahead of this window. If he can score a few and maybe look semi decent in Europe then chances of him buggering off permanently increase.
