Soccer Football - Pre Season Friendly - Queens Park Rangers v Crystal Palace - Loftus Road, London, Britain - July 23, 2022 Queens Park Rangers manager Michael Beale Action Images via Reuters/Andrew Couldridge
Yesterday Abdallah Sima signed his third loan deal in 24 months and instantly had the gloss applied to his mediocre career.
Like his new team-mates at Ibrox the 22-year-old enjoyed the best days of his career during Lockdown as he helped Slavia Prague reach the last eight of the Europa League.
Brighton bought into that, took a look at Sima then punted him out on loan to Stoke, Angers and now Ibrox without having kicked a ball in anger for his parent club.
Ignoring all that The Sun has come up with a quote from January 2021 from the President of Slavia Prague that Sima was worth £50, a few months later he was celebrating a £7m move to Brighton.
New Rangers signing Abdallah Sima once had £50MILLION price tag and was compared to Barcelona herohttps://t.co/LESxPX9xjz

At the age of 22 Sima is joining his seventh club, it is understood that his loan doesn’t include Tillman Terms but Rangers Review will no doubt confirm that at some stage.
So far the Beale Revolution consists of signing three free agents, a non-scoring striker for £3.5m and a loan deal from Davie Weir at Brighton.

I’m more concerned with our club.
We seem to be downsizing again with Jota about to leave to be replaced by an Australian winger..
Mooy has now announced his retirement.
Is Lawwell ball back in operation ?
Surely we must have learned this lesson
Too early to say but I hope not. There can be no sentiment in football, if we sell Jota for a large amount and get 2/3 players of similar quality for that fee then we are in a stronger position. I’m sure BR has his targets and we’ll soon find out if Lawwell has got his finger in the pie.
I agree but the player trading model was sold as when one player leaves for big money you target someone slightly better with the cash.
While buying every player is a risk, that risk diminishes the more money you pay as long as you know how you want to utilise players within your tactics and setup.
What we can’t have is a plethora of small budget signings and loan players.
That doesn’t progress the club.
£50 million ! Bloody Hell – I know we want NOTHING to do with Sevco, and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with their shills in The Scottish Print Media, but one thing I wish they’d have a connection with is union negotiating and therefore pay rises….
With these huge inflated figures they pedal on a daily basis, we could all be retired at Bloody 50 !
You know what those Slavs are like ? They take vodka with their cornflakes , in the morning … Hicccuupp!
Once he dawns that famous blueish partially indestructible jersey his value will rocket…
