With the talk of rangers putting a bid in for Jamie murphy does nobody else think young greg wylde showed enough promise to turn out a better player than murphy? need to give the boys coming threw murry park a chance

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Different type of player imo.

Agree1 Disagree0

Sally should have signed Hemed but Didnae, wanted to sign Cuellar but Couldnae, did sign Ortiz but Shouldnae.

Why is there so many disgruntled fans on here due to friendly results and lack of Transfer Activity?
We were in the Barry White because of our OTT financial packages we often indulged in.
So we should be delighted that so far Whytes cash has kept the most important assets to Rangers rather than Lloyds punting them for wallies and make no mistake Shagr would Defo have had bids of £4m accepted which seems laughable now.
I am happy with the squad we have already the best keeper, defender, midfielder and Forward in the league in Mcgregor, Bougherra or Weir, Davis and Jelavic be honest we would take Commons and Hooper in my opinion but would ANY other Ceptic player get in our best 11 without being biased no I really dont think so and feel Mcculloch and Lafferty wouldnt be far behind the runnners up players mentioned.
Whyte and Coisty have spoken publicly on a few occasions about how they have funds available if the right players come along but it is £5m for fees and £5m for wages equates to 100k per week and £2m to tidy toilets and fix jumbo screens etc.
The Premiership clubs only have to submit 25 man squads on 31 Aug the last day of the window, they can submit earlier and can change as often as possible before deadline so Coisty knows that getting a £2-5m rated player on loan is a better quality of player than a £500k-£1m permanant swoop.
Finally I would love Carlos Cuellar and Kenny Miller back if deals can be struck but lets get behind Coisty and wait until transfer window CLOSES before slating the Whyte knight and our Gaffa, theres is rotn and they adore him Coisty would rip off his own baws for this club

We support our club through thick and thin and we deserve results and new players. This takeover was supposed to take us bang into the transfer market and it seems as if we are struggling Everyone who is realistic knows we have our hands tied in certain situations but we should be able to sign some targets, especially the ones we have identified

Agree2 Disagree1

Because we have not head dived straight into the transfer Market certainly does not mean that there Is no money, what it means is that we are looking for the best possible players for our club

Pato

Agree0 Disagree0

And we will....take it easy dude. We've done the most important thing by tying up some of our most reliable performers..the guys that have won us the last 3 titles. We've got fu*k all to worry about. We did 3 months ago but not now

This isnt a rumour, i would just like to compliment Rangers FC. A team that is always linked with bad press.. Aged 14 i had a hip replacement, so decided to write a letter to the club asking for some tickets, that i would willingly pay for to come up to glasgow from my hometown in oxfordshire to watch my heroes.. Within 4 days i recieved a reply from the club.. Within 2weeks i was having a tour of murray park and meeting all the players including Alan McShagger. Then having a tour of Ibrox... RFC, more than just a club... WATP

Believable6 Unbelievable1

I got free tickets to Newcastle v Man Utd one season by pretending to be disabled. Had to hire a wheel chair but got crackin seats right next to the pitch for me and my carer. Is that wrong or just a bit of Frankie Boyle style genius? How's the hip by the way?

11 Jul 2011 21:30:14
Why can't we just pay 2 million for Goodwillie because we paid 3.75 million for Lafferty and Goodwillie is a lot better than Lafferty.... We obviously don't have the cash then

{Ed031's Note - Perhaps he's not as high on Ally's list as we're led to believe.}

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Bcoz buying players of that standard for that amount is why we are in this mess just now,

You said it. we are being prudent not wasting our money any more. there wont be any huge sums paid any more deal with it

I never leave my name on here, prob should..

Another thing i wouuld also say in regards to tranfers we were at a disadvantage.

Realistically all teams would have their scouts out working reporting back all yr, we prob didnt do that... work could have started wen whyte took over, got all the finances sorted, boardroom brawls and Ally trying to cramb in all these targets too late..

Like this Jadenik fella, palace have prob been keeping tabs on him for a while and bottom line we havent..

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Oh yes....my name....yes....it's J.R Hartley

11 Jul 2011 21:04:36
I have 2 remarks to make,

Firstly I would like it if Ally stopped talking to the press about signings. He seems to be scared of upsetting ppl by telling them to bolt basically. Its not right to discuss players fror other teams until they are you player. I cant handle another player going to a s**t english team over us. Its embarressing.

Secondly, Its now clear that the cash we were prmosed was lets say ambigious, this 10-12M was sold to us for transfers fee's now its apparent its for wages and transfers which is f**k all. If we think about it, if he hadnt came in we would be in even more trouble, same squad and no new players..... I would hope that if we qualify for champs league that cash will be ploughed in to the team and maybe get some quality in over quantity. 2 players perhaps in central MF and ST to compliment jela and davis, worst case scenario if either are injured we still have a gd solid spine and can cope.

Believable4 Unbelievable1

LISTEN YOU mr white has signed on mcgregor and whitaker on deals that amount to 12 million he is soon to sign davis so that sum will be nearer 18 million theres talk of offering boogie a new deal. if thats not investment then what is? secondly rangers have signed one new player ally has made it clear we will sign more but he wont rush in or pay over the odds in my opinion thats the best way forward. you will be on here in 2 months when we have our new sqaud singing their praises. why dont you try supporting your team even when murray was spending tens of millions we still had haters telling him how to spend his money. the futures bright the futures white

Agree0 Disagree0

Still not worrying although I think you've got a point about Ally and the press. He'll come good IMO but I agree, I don't think he should say fu*k all until deals are done and dusted

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 21:00:37
Wy r we looking at player from spain and england etc when there is gems in the not so strong or rich contries I think our scouting is run all wrong . I would lke to her ur thoughts on this so dig in gstq plean loyal

Believable0 Unbelievable3

U clearly dont read the papers or pay that much attention...

It was widely written that Ally and scounts were in south america, 100% argentina, dont know where else....
Also clearly we were in Isreal and also Macedonia lookin at Trikovski and Tomer Hemed...

Agree3 Disagree1

Oh not to mention Holland, John Brown was watching Granqvist and he was qouted saying "not good enough"

Would trust his judgement considering he found Cuellar and Boogie, not positive but possibley Boumsong as well. def 1st 2

Agree5 Disagree1

Is the guy disagreeing with this the guy who posted the 1st comment and feels a bit stupid...? I know for a fact it is lol
you do ur research hen....

So Ally was pretending about argentina, we just went on wiki and looked at macabbi players and picked 1 at random?
Granqvist we seen on youtube scoring those two BELTERS and we just want trikovski coz he scored against Ireland...?
Yeah your right we just look in england and spain, scouts r just lazy b**tards and dont do any work..

mile jedinak has signed for palace....O M G we cant even compete with championship teams...were in trouble.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

What you on about? Never made an offer for him.

Agree1 Disagree0

Championship sides are offering wages of £15k+ whyte wont pay that for players coming in that is the problem.
Ortiz will be on about £10k and Rodriguez is only getting £2k just now at Espanyol hence Rangers interest as if they offer £8k+ chances are he will take it. You do the maths Timalloy

Agree4 Disagree1

I think you will find there is far more money in the championship than in the spl allso the championship is the 4th richest leauge in the world 1epl 2spain 3seria 4 championshp. so it makes more than the german leauge the dutch leauge ect ect.

I've seen claims Juanma was a panic buy but i'd have to disagree with that. If we're talking panic signings then how about the re-signing of Healy, Kerkar and Little? I dont think Coisty wanted them at our club. JPM

I'm sick of people saying that if whyte has the money we would buy 4 Players for 10million if we started spending 3-4 million on a few players we would gradually go in to debt once again that is why I think we WILL only spend 5 million on 4-5 players If our budget was 8-10 million then it's already been reduced to about 5 million by renewing contracts such as mcgregor and Whittaker + the Ortiz signing.

The Freely

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Whyte said £5 million per season increased to £10 million if needs must and we do need. Along with the money from Adams sell on clause we should have a decent amount for transfer fees. The money spent on extending the contracts of McGregor, Whittaker and possibly Davis will be paid over the remaining time left on their contracts and should not be taken out of this years transfer allowance. There are under two weeks left til the season kicks off and from the outside looking in it seems we are having real problems obtaining our targets. I Know we have til the end of August but with the early kick off and CL Prelims approaching i'd have thought we would have been alot better prepared.

Agree7 Disagree0

The deals for players signed on equate to 18 million now 18 million over 5 seasons is roughly just under 4 million a season i cant be arsed with the division but thats good going for a guy thats meant to be miserable as you are all saying

If whytes true to his word then we will get cueller, dunno what makes rangers think we wud get him on the cheap, i guess us having 10 million to spend is alot of malarky then? not convinced by this rodriguiez either, if he was any good would espanyo let him go so cheap?? also he played in alot of the lower leagues and B teams, i think these sort of signings are nonsence we need quality, 5 quality players and a couple of loanees mabey, i dont really think goodwullie is worth 2 mil either i think there is more talent in europe we can sign shuda gave hemed a better contract. I would like to see ;

bartley (loan but i think would only cost max 2 mil) great investment thou)
Cueller (3 million - worth every penny for a defender this good)
Brunt (3 million - i think if whytes got the backing he sais this shud be within our range, guys 23 bluenose and a crackin prem pedigree player)
Vaughan (def a no go now but again if we had offered a good contract we wuda got this guy, missed out big time)
Weiss (shud be our big summer signing, mabey wud be 4 million but again if whytes got the money he promised shud be in our range, everythings in place to sign this guy, he loves the gers, already played a season, he wont get in the man city squad)

and mabey buy a couple of squad players from the SPL, murphy, wallace etc.

there you would have 2 great defenders, a quality center mid and two crackin wingers for the left and right, means we can move naisy upfront with Jelavic, also have Lafferty and Healy


McGregor


Whitty Cueller Bougherra PapacWeiss Vaughan Davis Brunt Naismith JelavicWhat a starting 11 that would be

Having a look at our current squad I think we are covered in most positions, I'd say if we brought in two cb's we will have a very strong squad. Ok so we got beat by two lower league german teams, the reason we go to Germany most years is because the level of football throughout the divisions is very high. Pre-season is for fitness purposes not for clocking up 9-0 victories.

McGregor and Alexanders...Gordon aside i'd say Scotlands 2 best goalkeepers.

RB - Whittaker, Ortiz, Cole, Little and Broadfoot
LB - Papac, Wilde, Kerkar, Whittaker and Broadfoot
CB - Weir, Bougy, Broadfoot, Papac and young Perry (due to come thru this year)

R/LM - Naismith, Ortiz, Davis, Wilde, Kerkar, Whittaker, Lafferty, Fleck
CM - Davis, McCulloch, Ness, Edu, Naismith, Hutton.

FWD - Jelavic, Lafferty, Naismith, Fleck, Healy, Little.

Sorry if I have missed anyone out. If we can add maybe one or two quality players then we are set for 4IAR.

Think we will have some more products of Murray Park come thru also such as Kai Naismith, Adam and Hemmings...plus others I'm sure.

Bazza Bear

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Bazza ave u really got a clue kerkar aint even a fitba player nevermind a left back

Agree3 Disagree0

Aye hes a winger/striker... apparently. think he was brought to gers to polish bougy off wen he was horny, def wasnt to play fball

Agree2 Disagree0

Diouf, Weiss, Bartley left at the end of last season from a squad which was pretty small. Walter was saying that due to the number of games, he was forced to play the likes of Hutton/Ness/Wylde/Cole etc more than he wanted. These are good young boys but we cant rely on them to form the basis of a champions league team.

We need players - 1 or 2 Centre backs, Centre midfield, 2 wingers and striker

Id go for:
Goodwillie
Estigbarria (Paraguay winger)
Weiss
Brunt
Bartley
Cuellar

Agree0 Disagree0

Think if you look on Rangers website and look at the games Kerkar played for our 2nd string you'll see he was deployed at LB a few times and did well... There is a reason we signed him in the first place and a reason why Ally has given him another year, the guy has played 1 game as a sub...ok he didnt get man of the match but it was his 1st 1st team game. Give the guy a chance, he's young and he may turn out to be a good squad player for us.

Just a wee thought fellow bears. What about chelsea fringe player Yossi Benayoun? Isn't getting first team football and wouldn't imagine his wages would be astronomical? Just a thought

Believable0 Unbelievable4

Cracking player, but he was injured for most of last season, hence not featuring.

Probably will feature this season.

Plus wages will be astronomical

Will he feature though if Chelsea sign modaric ? God knows how you spell that. Would be a really good signing but his wages must be huge?

Believable4 Unbelievable4

Yes and it looks like something strange is going on

Agree2 Disagree1

Based on what? have you been at the games he has played? do you see him in training? have you watched him for a few years?
drumlad

Agree3 Disagree1

Have you watched him for a few years?

doubt he has but have all of the other rangers fans who are saying he's a great buy?

Agree1 Disagree1

Exactly the guy has played 2 games that dont count an people are judging him get a life an gie the lad a chance

Agree3 Disagree0

I certainly havent and wouldnt claim to have seen much of him at all, i saw a goal he scored on youtube as most did.i was just wondering what has panicked that other guy, just making the point really that its ridiculous to ask whether or not hes a panic buy on the strength of two friendlies which, like myself you probaly never saw.im just trying to be level headed and not buy into this mass panic thats set in with quite a few bears.

Agree1 Disagree0

I think Ortiz is a quality signing I'm fortunate to live in spain 6-8 months of the year and while I'm there I scout spanish leagues not for a football club but for a company who needs the information to produce what they do.

On the other hand I don't rate Raul Rodriguez in what I have seen of him he is v poor in the air and not much physical attributes about him not the best tackler or marker either im afraid.Will struggle alot in SPL physical footballing style

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Jul 2011 13:44:01
I think we have to admit fellow bears it's not been a very successful transfer Market for ally and whyte. I think missing out on free agents such as danns and Conway has resulted in us trying to find average squad players such as Ortiz etc. I think we should have been quicker to table offers doe these guys. Just praying the lads in the background have a few quality players in their sights. Carlos is a must and at 3m I think it's a good price. We have a good spine at the club one or two more quality players and were sorted. Its early yet though. 4 in a row easy

Believable0 Unbelievable1

11 Jul 2011 13:26:05
I dont think some people get it My figures below are not accurate but purely to give some people an idea where £10m can go without any blockbuster signings

McGregor new contract - £26k per week = £1.4m
Whittaker new contract - £20k per week = £1m
Davis new contract - £26k = 1.4m
Healy contract £10k = £0.5m
Weir contract £15k = £0.75m
Papac contract £10k = £0.5m
Ortiz fee and contract £10k = £1m

Total £6.55m.

If we get Rodriguez for £0.5m and pay him say 10k then Goodwille at £2m and 15k. Thats it gone The lot and very slightly more No big names only 3 new face and £10 million spent

Then what if we sign Bougy on a bigger contract

Loans are not free very oftenEven bosmans have sign on fee's

We need to await the the desperation of some of the free players to waive sign on's and then EPL clubs to need to unload players outwith their 25man squad.

Patience and shrewdness are now of the essence.

Bluegenius

Believable3 Unbelievable4

You must be well in the loop at ibrox to know all of these wages.

weres your source.

Agree1 Disagree0

Wages will come under the wage budget not the transfer budget ..

Agree0 Disagree0

Look mcgregor 6k increase was on around 20k before = 312K increase

whittaker 12k increase = 624k

davis 6k increase(if he signs) =312k

i doubt we offered much more than a weeks wages as a signing on bonus so lets say thats 100k total for all 3

Healy i doubt its 10k he is a bit part player and on less wages at sunderland probably about 8k = 410k

ortiz i agree with your figures.

papac will be more like 15k being an important first team player probably not even an increase


so it probably = more to around the 3m mark so far

Agree2 Disagree0

Surely the £10m is for anything over and above what was already going out on wages - Take McGregors current £26k and take away what he was on already.

Agree1 Disagree0

ITS NO THAT MUCH OUT THE TRANSFER FOR GREEGS AND WHITTIKER YOU HAVE NOT TOOK IN TO CONSIDERATION WHAT THEY WERE ALREADY ON

Agree1 Disagree0

Whyte said up to 12 mill but that would include wages

what r rangers doing in the transfer window...it seems they have no clue what happened to the £10m that we got for this summers transfer window 2 weeks 2 the big kick off and we have only spent £500'000 and personally i think ally only bought ortiz to get the fans off his back about making a signing.i am really getting WORRIED. IF HE DOES have £10m ally should stop pissing about and get that £2m bid in for goodwillie £3m for cuellar and the other £4.5m and adam money could be used for loan deals for another 2-3 players eg. winger, midfielder, defender and the rest for january what do you all think??

{Ed031's Note - I also agree that Juanma was a panic buy.}

Believable3 Unbelievable7

I think this isnt quite as clear as you assume it is.i cant honestly say what i think is happening with transfer fees etc but im pretty sure the 10 million that whyte had been rumoured to be willing to spend is a complete lie.if we are really lucky i think we may have about 5 million but whether or not that is including new deals for existing players and signing on fees for new players remains to be seen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, i disagree that juanma was a panic buy.apparently we had been watching him for a few years and nearly signed him 2 years ago, so he claimed himself.ally did say quantity over quality.

If u listen to ortiz in his interviews he tells u he nearly signed 2 years ago the reason he didn't was we never had any money so we couldn't sign him back then he would have commanded a bigger transfer fee because almeria were doing alright in la liga we have tracked him since then and got him so I hardly think it was a panic buy.

Ed031 how do you think both rangers and celtic will do in europe, myself not very optimistic but we need both to get scotland's coefficient back up so we keep two champions league places. Any thoughts?

{Ed031's Note - I think Rangers might scrape the second qualifier to the last 16, but most likely finish third and drop into the Europa League, and possibly go far. Celtic, not so sure. They might get unlucky and draw a big name in the qualifier but then again, they might get lucky and get in to the group stages.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed031, and what difference has his signing made to the fans who are calling for loads of signings. Not a jot A panic buy serves no purpose. I'm sure the backroom team at gers know this and so should you.

{Ed031's Note - I think he was bought to appease the restless fans. He could turn out good. But maybe not, just have to wait and hope.}

after watching the pre-season games it's worrying how easily our defence were carved open. especially the game against Bochum. if that doesn't show whyte we badly need strong reinforcements then he's not the man to lead our club. forget this talk about not breakign up a championship wining squad. Weir will toil next season as he did the tail end of last year. Bougherra doesn't wan to be there. Broadfoot not good enough to be a starter. that only leaves papac who's played the last 5 years as a left back we need a ful new back line and a striker at least or else we're in for a very long, hard season.

You got carved open cos Sally is useless In Lennon we trust

Rangers are not looking to sign more than 3or 4 first team players, juan ma is already one, with rodriguez set to follow him that only leaves 1 or 2, lots of names have been flying around but it is likely that one of these players will be brought in after the 25 men squads are announced. The other will be a loan deal with livermore, khumalo, cleverly, jeffren and wilson being touted. There will be a few signings made to beef up the squad like jamie murphy, otherwise Ally doesnt want to spoil a championship winning team.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

With all those loans Whyte should rename Ibrox WONGA.COM Hahaha

Agree2 Disagree3

Timalloy?

He only mentioned 1 loan you fud knuckle.

guys dont get over the top on deals we will buy a lot of players about 7 or 8 but will be low price loans or frees i think we should and could buy

Carlos Cuellar £2m - original offer plus some of adam money
Murray Davidson £500k - Good talent would be brill at us
Bongani Khumalo Loan - Good player would be decent fr us in domestic games
Lee Wallace £1m - Wants to come and will
Raul Rodrigeuez £750k- Excellent young player willl joijn soon i believe
Patrick Viera free - Brill additon especially for UCL games but wages could be stumbling block
David Nugent free - Good in SPL probs but mainly fr sub
Eidur Gudjohnsen free - Brill in SPl held talks be4 but i think he will come now and UCL expierience also versatile
Pedro Mendes free - the wee man is class and would love to see him back he left coz he had to and now happned to sporting lisbon aswell

Im not sayiong i know anyone but its a rumours site and i believe this would hep our squad and i believe its realistic

WATP

Believable1 Unbelievable2

David Nugent has signed for Leicester
& Gudjohnsen on 40k a week is a non starter....

Agree0 Disagree0

David Nugent just moved to Liecster and Patrick Viera has just took on a coaching role at Man City

Agree0 Disagree1

We will sign 3 players tops.


{Ed031's Note - I think a lot of you think there's more money than there actually is.}

Agree1 Disagree0

I agree ED this guy's list would cost £4.25 transfer fees plus £5m+ in wages just not realistic. I think 2 or 3 MAX will come in

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha Viera dream on you bluenoses think your something special

Agree0 Disagree0

Viera's past it so would love it if rangers signed him

Agree0 Disagree0

As long as celtic keep signing has beens and neverwizzers we dont need to sign anybody in lemmon i trust

No point in linking Rangers with English Prem players IMO unless its a loan deal. Craig Whyte isnt interested in paying inflated prices, hence him trying to sign La Liga players on the cheap. (Rodriguez at £500k and on £2k a week). Well, its the best league in the world anyway, right?. (people say that but most have never watched a game that didnt involve Barca or Real, lol) JPM

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Just to clarify: I meant Rodriguez is on £2k a week at his current club, not that we're going to pay him £2k a week. JPM

Agree1 Disagree0

No you wont pay him 2k W(S)YTE will want him for 1-1.5k a week.

Agree1 Disagree1

Rangers would treble his wages to 6/7k a week .

this isnt a rumour or anything but just a suggestion why dont we offer aston villa madjid bougherra and maybe a little cash for carlos cuellar what do yous think

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Great idea, although I think Villa are well aware that Carlos is a much better player than Bougy. Bougy flatters to deceive and would be found out in the prem. Afraid we're stuck with the pr1ck as nobody has put in an offer for him. That should tell him all he needs to know about how 'in demand' he is. Trouble is he believes his own hype

Agree1 Disagree0

I totally agree bougherra plus 1m for cuellar not bad tbh
mcgregor
whitty
cuellar
rodriguez
papac
naismith
davis
mcculoch
estigarribia
jelavic
lafferty

and then we have them for subs and that
alexander, broadfoot, wylde, ness, goodwillie, healy, fleck, ortiz, edu, weir

Agree0 Disagree1

Dont know who bougy thinks he is think he forgets he was a no one b4 he joined rangers. every year he wants to leave but no one wants him. i say let him go take the cash then in 1 year we can all laugh at him when it sinks in that he wont ever play for a club as big as rangers. he may play in a better leauge but bet if he goes he will never lay his hand on silver ever again. bye bye big head oh and take your mate kekar with you.

Agree0 Disagree0

So the rangers fans finally admitting that bougherra is overrated and only has 1 good season when he wants to leave?

Agree0 Disagree0

I have been told that when big eck was at birmingham he tried to get bougherra last season but was injured at the time so maybe a swap + cash aint a bad idea

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm a celtic fan and i rate bougherra more than cuellar if aything they should give use a million and cuellar

rangers should try T.Cruise and J.Koumas, been released from there teams, and would make good squad players.

Believable0 Unbelievable3

Signing tom cruise seems like mission impossible

Agree3 Disagree1

Maybe he means Taio CRUZ to help your terrible support sing more?

Agree0 Disagree0

Koumas is a decent player.But has he the range of passing as young Jamie Ness?The answer to that is NAW.I want Ness in the team next year, to start every game.If we can not find anybody better with his Adam like range of passing.And I do not think that we will.I want to see us play good fast passing football, that we can be proud of.Football that we can win with.If we cant shut up shop.Who cares if it wins us the title again?

Agree0 Disagree0

Just thought I'd through this in concerning "the ginger whinger" in Aus, complaining about the Aeroplane trailing the sign, what sort of "Richard" is this guy? everyone laughedat the stunt Celtic guys and all, he needs serious help

Agree0 Disagree0

But has he the range of passing as young Jamie Ness?

really :D:D:D:D:D:D hes a far better player than jamie ness

Agree0 Disagree0
