Rangers are reportedly on the verge of signing Manchester City winger Brandon Barker on a free, permanent deal, according to reports [Jack Gaughan]. The talented wide man was once City’s Academy Player of the Year and at 22, is entering a pivotal time in his career. Someone with undoubted talent, it sounds like the winger…

We were trying to bring Kent in when Candeias was still at the club .Gerrard did say that he would look for a replacement for Candeias so thats what Barker is .Its possible that we will still go for Kent if he becomes available but we can`t afford to just sit back and wait.

IMO The Kent story still bubbles on, if not sold he will not be stuck in the under’s, last minute loan deal to Rangers still possible.

Another left winger. 2 goals & 2 assists last year in around 800 odd minutes of professional football is a decent return for a young 1. Also has a bundle of goals & assists in the Premier league 2. Not 2 bad. Don’t mind signing him but he’s a another leftie lol

I appreciate that a lot of people saying “ he is another left sided player” he is quality , how many times have we said “ we are light in quality on the bench” back up players are important and if memory serves me well he actually looked good at the hivs,
