James Sands [Midfielder] [HG] [On Loan - Out]

[Antidote P. Smiley]

He was MOTM today and he was class against PSV. If he keeps it up the 6m price on him is going to be an absolute steal.

They buy and flip for a tidy profit.

Looks to me like sands was partly responsible for Hibs' first goal, looks like he let the defender get a bit behind him.

 

[SoupInNYC]

Sands seems to be getting all sorts of love right now for his performance at PSV

Jimmy Sands will be playing in the UEFA Champions League Group Stage

Who was it with the "loan was a bad move" stuff? I feel extra vindicated right now.
There he goes, not only starting in almost every game so far this season, but being instrumental in defense to get Rangers to their first cl group stage in 10 years. He's going to be playing CL soccer on merit, not merely for signing with a team already in the CL. That's gotta be absolutely an amazing feeling for him. Shows he can kick it in Europe. I'm so happy for him.

I think he has a shot at world cup squad if Rangers keeps this up.

He was terrific. That intercepting header at the end when he also drew the foul was beautiful. So happy for our boy.

Anything less than 8 figures USD is not enough for a transfer!

Isn't the amount already stipulated in the loan? I don't remember

Yes, $6M unfortunately.

Yes, $6M unfortunately.

Am I the only one suspecting the NYCFC sell-on percentage is unusually high and thats why the transfer fee was set at $6M?

Just had a chance to check out follow follow. Again no one with anything bad to say. People think he's been their best central defender so far this season though most reckon eventually he'll end up in midfield .

Curiously, isn't that kinda the opposite of what happened by us?

Also, I saw a lot of people complaining about his passing but saying his tackling is superb - how is that a midfielder trait if that's the case?

 

[goodbyetaty]

6m is highway robbery for the player Sands is atm and how valuable he is to the Rangers squad.

He's still pretty young though, so it's possible we do have a sell-on clause as well.

 

[Davo15]

Oddly the Yanks abroad section on bigsoccer is way harsher on him than the Rangers fans.

 

[JayH]

Quite a step up from MLS to Liverpool, Ajax and Napoli.
