Hutton, Cuellar, Wallace, Brunt, Miller, Bartley, Templeton, Goodwillie, Weiss, Eremenko, Toivonen, Drenthe....amongst others. That'll be the £20m spent then?

Get real

Celts are bookies favourites for the title.......Miko {Ed046's Note - celtic were also the favourites for the last 3 years......Look how that ended

18 Jul 2011 23:03:00
i think ppl are over panicing a bit about players before champs league deadline, the dead line is for the 2 qualifiers not the whole tournament.
Even if we dont sign anyone the main group of players can do the job... are you telling me you dont think that
McGregor
Broadfoot Whity Weir Papac
Ortiz Mcculloch Davis Wylde
Jelavic Naismith

With full fitness cant beat this swedish mob? We may scrape it but we will win.
I was the bringer of doom until i read the interview on sunday with whyte, i dont belive for a sec we will gt 20M to spend however i do belive they will have the singings but the right ones and if it takes till aug to get them then so be it, we can grind it out. Blue grit

Well said pal, hope your fellow bluenoses take heed

Not sure about Broadfoot though...Miko

18 Jul 2011 22:51:48
Any truth in Jamie Murphy of motherwell on MCcoist's rader??

Naw dont be daft/

Hes to expensive.he'd cost about 300k and we won't pay that for any player.

18 Jul 2011 22:30:11
Another day passes. Wake me up on Thursday.. JPM.

18 Jul 2011 22:05:05
got a feeling that the gers are going to sign a few players soon...something big is going to happen...who we buy..i really dont know..but somethings gonna happen soon....

Completely earth shattering insight.Have you ever thought about joining MENSA?

No maybe whyte might sign him lol

18 Jul 2011 21:38:02
Is Kirk Broadfoot having a laugh? I'd happily drive that man to where ever it is he wants to go And I Don't even fecking drive

He's chanting about being a regular in the first team. Nobody in our squad (as small as it is) is guaranteed a starting position. He'll have to get his head down and work hard (which i'm sure he does), try and stay injury free and take his chance when it comes. He'll also have to calm down a bit away from football. If he's unwilling to do that then he doesn't deserve to be wearing the Rangers jersey. Or subs trackie lol

18 Jul 2011 20:47:12
is it just me or is everyone checking this site every 5 mins to check for updates. it is like an obsession just now. i even check my i phone when i am working.
gbtq. watp,

I check this site every 15 minutes lol

That is a lie, workingTheres some pi*h on here but that is a belter

18 Jul 2011 20:26:41
I am deligjted coisty is going for tried and tested players. He is a new manager and i was worried he was going yolto buy lots of cheap johnny foreigners like them frae ra doo hut in the east.
Here for what its worth would be what i would do.
Miller 1 mill
Hutton 2 mill
Cuellar 2 mill
Brunt 3 mill
Bartley loan
Weiss loan.

That gives us defensive cover with centre halfs and attacking full back. Midfield cover with bartley too. Left sided mid in brunt not easy to find and a bluenose. Winger in weiss or central "in the hole type". CF in miller who frightens every defender. Thats around 8 mill to buy, no risks and all will sweat blood. Another centre mid i agree would be good but i cant think of one i like or can afford.
In jan window or next summer we could buy the odd foreigner if required.
BTW we will play with 2 up. Coisty hated the sole striker role.

If we got above my team would be
greegs
Hutton, cuellar, boogie or bartly, whittaker
Naismith, davis, edu, brunt
Jellyfish, miller
Subs: laff, (unfortunate), weiss, mcculloch, weir, papac, ness, hutton, wylde.
Quite strong methinks.

Are you bonkers big chap. you would have edu in the team mculloch is 10 times a player he is. mculloch is not the greatest but edu would struggle to play for the manky mob. watp gbtq.

Just in from work mate, hutton 2 mill. wheres that came from.

18 Jul 2011 19:18:00
ano this might be a bit weird to say but i read that Diego lugano has a 3.5 million release clause in is contract and i think rangers should go for him what do you's think

18 Jul 2011 19:24:38
Just gonna give my take on what we have just now, and what I feel we need at Rangers, in order to be successful both at home and abroad in the 2011/12 season.

Never mind all this talk of "X amount for transfers" and "Y amount for wages" ... All this does is provoke crazy speculation, as proved on here on a day to day basis. I'm sure Ally, Mr Whyte and the rest are working very hard to enhance the squad with new players and bring the freshness that we clearly need.

The spine of our team is strong. We have 2 solid goalkeepers who will be here till the end of their careers. We also have tied down a very versatile player in Steven Whittaker, our best technical player in Steven Davis and have strong characters like Steven Naismith and Lee McCulloch on deals for a few more years yet, as well as Sasa Papac for one more year at least.

One thing that jumps out at me is the potential in this squad, we have a great mix of youth and experience. Steven Davis, Steven Naismith, Kyle Lafferty, Steven Whittaker and of course Allan McGregor are all still relatively young but have been around for a while and no what it takes to win titles on a regular basis. On top of this we have Nikica Jelavic who is top class and could be here for 1 maybe 2 more years.

Then we have the youngsters.

Gregg Wylde, for me, has a lot to learn. He has pace to burn and can beat a man, but he needs to learn when to release the ball and when to run at men. His delivery is also quite inconsistent and he drifts in and out of games a little too much.

Kyle Hutton is a big prospect in my opinion. He has a bit of everything. Power, pace, balance, he can tackle, shoot, pass long, pass short and has a great engine. He has a good temperament and never hides, I love that in a youngster.

Ability wise, Jamie Ness reminds me a lot of a young Barry Ferguson in the way that he has a great range of passing and knows when to keep it simple, as well as having the eye to pick out a longer pass with killer accuracy. However, he does not impose himself on games enough and is often found hiding.

John Fleck may not seem like a youngster any longer, but he is younger than all of the above 3. He has the most natural abilty I've seen in a young lad at Rangers, and simply needs games to get his confidence up again. Hopefully he fulfills his potential here, as I would hate to see a repeat of the Charlie Adam situation with John... Who I believe could be even better than Charlie is now.

Kane Hemmings has just come on the scene and looks strong, powerful, quick and seems to have an eye for goal.

So taking all this into account, I feel we need to add 6 players on top of the signing of Juan Manuel Ortiz. 1 central defender, 1 left back, 1 central midfielder, 1 winger and 2 strikers would be on the list for me. The players I would most like to see would be...

Carlos Cuellar (£2m)
Lee Wallace (£1.5m)
Alexei Eremenko (Free)
David Templeton (£2m)
David Goodwillie (£1.5m + add ons)
Kenny Miller (£1m)

On top of these 6, I would like to see the following loan signings at the end of the window:

Kyle Bartley (Loan with option to buy)
Vladimir Weiss (Loan with option to buy)

This would give us another 8 players who would bring their own qualities to our squad and continues the trend of having a mix of youth and experience.

I would also sell Kirk Broadfoot, James Beattie and Maurice Edu as I don't think they are good enough unfortunately.

This would leave us with a squad of:

1. McGregor (c)
2. Whittaker
3. Weir
4. Cuellar
5. Papac
6. McCulloch
7. Naismith (vc)
8. Davis
9. Miller
10. Fleck
11. Lafferty
12. Wallace
13. Alexander
14. Hutton
15. Healy
16. Ness
17. Templeton
18. Jelavic
19. Goodwillie
20. Weiss
21. Bartley
22. Eremenko
23. Wylde
24. Bougherra
25. Cole
26. Hemmings
28. Kerkar
29. Little

Anyway these are just my own thoughts so let me know what you all think.

You have any thoughts on this Ed?

Cheers,

Steven.

Omg is someone actually talking sensible on thiis site

thankyou come again

We would win the treble with that team this year and then do well in europe again

Are you having a "laugh" Jamie Ness is always found hiding this young man will attract more interest than most players at Ibrox in the next couple of seasons, he has more calm and composure than any midfielder in the SPL and will stick out like a sore thumb with the cheque book teams down south. Sorry mate but you were watching a different player from me last season, he is also one of the factors that Rangers fans need not worry about the lack of signings because he is the real deal and will put the s**ts up Lennon next season. No i'm not his agent but a fan who never saw him hiding once last season.

You obviously weren't up at Pittodrie when we won 1-0 then. He barely touched the ball for the whole game. Too quiet on the pitch, he will grow with time, but is not as good as your making out at the moment. People like you putting pressure like that on him will ruin the lad. Look at John Fleck, he got all this talk at 17, and people wonder why he's low on confidence, because he hasn't lived up to the "new Wayne Rooney" tag. Give the guys a chance

Never read so much pish in my life whatever i say will not have any bearing on how ness develops however he is one of a few who played in a winning team at Pittodrie in recent years, maybe he was'nt required to have much of an impact in that game as they were a poor lot anyway, dont blame people like me for Fleck struggling at Ibrox its obvious he lacks in confidence but he, s not the finished article yet so dont put Fleck on a pedestal just yet he, s not as good as you think. Lets just**tch and see i think Ness will be in the team a lot more than Fleck this season as composure allows maturity to shine through and i think the lad has the temperment to deliver and if Smith thought this then Ally will have sat up and took notice. As we are fickle as Rangers fans just watch this space and then you can boot my arse if he fails to deliver.

18 Jul 2011 18:24:08
Who the hell post this stuff about news conferences etc

When are they exactly for? Nothing on any news and nobody has been notified?

18 Jul 2011 18:17:03

The chat of murray park today was Rangers are preparing a bid for Chris Brunt, gonna start about 3 million, this only came from the facilities staff thou, could be a lot of pants would much rather this than some south american dude hes premiership pedigree and is a rangers lad


Said on news update there negotiations are on-going with cueller and miller and rangers are also interesed in Massimo Gobbi a MF from Parma dunno much about him

18 Jul 2011 17:53:23
Drenthe loan to rangers? Hearing he's well down the team sheet for madrid. Maybe 50/50 wages only gets 50 grand a week wi them think he'd be absolutely phenomenal in the spl Would rip the tick to pieces on auld firm day


Bluebear18

Stop playing Football Manager

18 Jul 2011 17:43:33
Curly won't sign if a another team is tryin to buy him he's to old and will want all the money he can get any1 wud do the sme

Wow so 29 is too old plus he has been getting 2 million a year for 3 years 6 mill plus the 20 grand at rangerss 1 year 1 mill 1 mill signing on fee

and 3 years on 25k and 5k bonus 30 k 4.5 million

which equates to 12.5 million

just in the uk.

so think he will be fine

Theres only two Carlos Cuellars

18 Jul 2011 17:25:47
some banter for yeez
kirk broadfoot isnt going anywhere, this just shows us how smart c.w is, broadfoot was advertizing rtv.tv (and sky thinks he wants a loan move) but broadfoot has just been used in an advertizing campaign of course the coverage picks this up and the gers get free advertizing for rtv.tv
this is just some of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes.... this stuff all creates revenue for the club
watp

Same with facebook official rangers page
well done ali russel and co
next will be stadium naming rights i think

18 Jul 2011 16:47:54
Anyone else think this rumours page will go nuts when Cueller/Miller/Bartley sign? Think everyone will be so relieved

18 Jul 2011 15:44:44
cardiff join the race to sign kenny miller i dnt care if we sign miller or not just hope we get carlos cuellar back the mans a brick wall

18 Jul 2011 14:52:25
kenny miller no longer allowed to train with burzaspor..

Spotted this myself aswell . . Bursaspor state that any player who wants to leave the club don't train with the first team. They also haven't included him in the squad for past 3 pre-season friendlys. . Website also claims bursaspor want 1.5m EU for him ( £1.1m -£ 1.2m ) which coincidentally enough is apparently the fee agreed between the 2 clubs. . .

18 Jul 2011 13:59:48
picture the scene, 15 mins into the 2nd half, rangers 2-0 down and struggling, young supers tactics dont seem to be working, he looks up to the stand with a puzzled look on his face in the hope for and old pal to come to his aid, he looks again in despair for his waist-coated friend and to his disbelief the waist-coated friend isnt running down the stairs to help this young man out, how odd thought young super.oh dear gasped young super think i, ll give the wily waist-coated old fox a call as he is a legned and a sir, ring ring ring ring ring-you have reached the orange answer phone please lea..thumpthe game finished to a chorus of boos.
In Ally We Trust?
Did Walter?Does Mr Whyte?Do You?

Whats the reason for not trusting him, obviously walter didas he would not have recommended him or give him cup games.
and obviously mr whyite trusts him as he would not have gave him such a high transfer kitty, so take your poison little mind back to your own page (the best of the rest) and talk about how good a signing iwulumo is going to be.

went from robbie keane to shane long to craig bellamy to CHRIS IWULUMO.

be afraid be very afraid if you lot keep this up you will be looking back to hearts rather than looking forward to the champs.

pato

Or maybe in a semi-final against a team of ross countys calibre he could ask the kit man for advice......... lol. 3IAR.

Knob WATP 4IAR

The Septic fans have some imagination don't they? They live in hope........false hope.

Billyboy1

Walter trusted him?is that why he was constantly running down from his seat in the stand to bail him out.whyte only trusts him to go for walters ex players and old targets, id rather have iwulumo than james beattie, heard it was super who wanted beattie in the first place, rolf

Im sure Ally's up to the task. At least if hes findin it tough he's got someone to phone. Walter Smith. Next time Lennon realises hes up s**te creek without a paddle (happens every other game) will he phone his tactically skilled predecessor tony mowbary? Dinae think so. Four in a Row for Super Ally.

Beattie came to scottish football with a cracking record and fine i will accept he has not done anything near what he showed in the prem.

mistakes are made and buying him was a mistake. which we will learn from 1 million lost not the end of the world.

juarez 3 million down the drain
cha du ri 1 mill down the drain,
daryl murphy 2.5 mill down the drain.
rasmusen 2 mill down the drain
hoivelt (spelling) 1.5 mill down the drain

need i continue. 10 million on duds no champs league money, iwulumo must be top end of your budget.

what next tommy johnson done okii in the masters on saturday it will be him you lot will be signing.

now you are taking mphela on trail, is this the same mphela rangers decided wasnt good enough last year?

you lot have no imaginiation, rangers should start putting out press releases saying tyhey are going to sign romario because you would see him in a celtic shirt the next day on 20k a week.

you lot have a 30 man squad and are desperate to get rid of some, only problem is you pay them fortunes and they are pants, they are quite happy sitting on a wage that no other manager is daft enough to pay them.

stormy waters ahead.

WATP

18 Jul 2011 12:46:15
This is it guys, i'm not saying i know anything or have any inside news.I just have a good feeling about today, a signing is coming......i can feel it

Namba

I really hope your right and i hope it's a couple of defenders because i'm slightly worried about the back line at the moment. I'll believe it when i see it. The goings on the last couple of weeks have left me quite feeling quite synical every time i hear about new signings We don't seem to have the knack of getting deals done quickly which is worrying because it alerts other interested clubs and the septic scouting network

It's players agents that alert clubs to their availability. If Rangers offer the right money, deals will get done quickly.

Sorry mate but you feeling it isnt enough, i actually have a pit in my stomach fearing that we are going to lose out on king carlos, and yeh we do seem to drag our heels when trying to sign someone, all this talk of 15-20 million, 34 players signed before saturday, a marquee signing. get it sorted and we wiil have flame baws sacked before xmas..

18 Jul 2011 10:15:58
It would seem we are all confident for next season, me included esPecially if we get Curly and perhaps this Estabariggia dude But let's just remember we signed next to nothing for years and still won everything worth winning, the tic have the same squad as last year I doubt anyone will leave but I do believe they will be better than last season. Lennon will be key( obvious statement perhaps) will his temperament be up to the job, will he stay out of controversy, will he carry some dignity? He could make or break their season. For me Ally needs a quick start and the chance to do that is there with Hearts, who I think will be the main contenders outside the Old Firm. A win there will be tremendous boost for all. My prediction Rangers 3-1. WATP

Yes thats all true, , but what you forget, , we dont have Walter this year, , do you honestly think we would have won the league last year without him, , , , I dont

Rangers squad is more threadbare now than at the end of last season, whereas Celtic have signed 3 players and will almost certainly sign a goalkeeper.

A really fair point about Smith. I would name a stand after the man. Took a lot of flack for his style, but he is a legend for me. My score prediction of 3-1 tells you that I believe in Ally. I'm almost certain that the team will play for Ally. The question is what formation will he play? Will he be more open and attacking? To contradict myself a mo I honestly think the changes to formation that was forced on Walter (injuries) is what one us the league. Mainly the introduction of 442 and Wylde out left. Not that the lad is a great player just that he forced the full backs back Allowing a more attacking style if play Any thoughts to Ally style Ed? {Ed047's Note - Smith played to what he believed were the strengths of the squad. Hopefully McCoist will have more options in a number of players come in and I suspect he'll be a bit more adventurous

Celtic have signed 3 player yes :-

wilson not played in 6 months couldnt get in the forrest team.

mathews decent prospect not good enough yet.

and a 18 y/o cb, and lets be honest with lennons record of centre backs i welcome it.

be patiant and by quality no panic buys.

pato

1 panic buy (some spanish player no 1 heard of) many players hiv turned u down FFS get a grip billy hahahahahaha

Would you call iwanalimo a marque signing lol

pimping kayal to bolton
liverfool sniffing at Issagayguy
and if rumour are to be believed on kerryfail st broonie off to toony ad be worried

18 Jul 2011 01:32:44
carlos cuellars agent pedro bravo has stated that they are in discussions with rangers and only rangers the kings coming home watp

18 Jul 2011 00:12:47
Who here thinks mcgregor is best keeper in britain i do see him in champs league and fr scotland

I think hes the best keeper in britain too the saves he has made to keep us in games/championships eg the game against werder bremen the games against celtic and especialy the one where he saved from samaras mcgregor is a top top goalkeeper

His best save ability not mopst important was fr scotland against czech republic i remeber it gordon banks stuff

I think the one against bremen as if that went in it would have changed the game around he is one of the best shot stoppers in the world i would say anyway

Pepe Reina, Peter Cech, Joe Hart, Shay Given, Kasper Schmeichel, Gomes, Ben Foster, DeGea, will we go on?

McGregor is every bit as good as Reina, Cech, Hart, De Gea and Given. As for Gomes, dont make me laugh the guy is a liability. And Schmeichel is living off his father's name, Leeds got shot of him to Leicester because, in the words of manager Simon Grayson they, "lost too many goals which would have been avoidable with a higher quality of goalkeeper" ... So stop talking garbage.

Must be a Tom that posted the last message, kasper schmicheal, championship No no, given 5 games in 2 years, because they have been linked with Celtic must mean they are better

Gomes is worse than calamity James and spurs have signed a 40 y/o to replace him Petr chech is good however I would look good in goals infront of the best defence in the league, de gea what because united have spent alot of money on a keeper he must be good, barres, tiabi

And Joe hart made more mistakes than anyone last season

But I agree that that prow reina is good

Next you will be saying fraser foster and pietikosa are better

Your list is wrong face it, an back back to ur own page to get excited about signing iwulumo

Kasper Schmeichel, Gomes, =))=))

Pietikosa nickname at SPURS is youtube because even youtube couldnae make him look good and thats saying something Ps thanks for posting Iwulumo name couldnae remember it for laffn just remembered it sounded like ayefeckno

Given is a sub an doesnt even play he is in top 5 but but i dont believe he is the best

Given is the only one out of that list apart from Reina that I'd rate as a keeper, regardless of him being a hateful *obscenity* 10/11 season...Shagger proved his worth, underrated and deserves much more credit.

Some better than him but kasper f***ing schemicael

Pepe Reina - Yes
Peter Cech - Personally dont rate him since returned from head injury
Joe Hart - Yes
Shay Given - No
Kasper Schmeichel - Will become better than mcgregor
Gomes - Show stopping good , all round goal keeper no
Ben Foster - dont rate him atawl
DeGea - in top 5 goal keepers in the world.

My opinion.

17 Jul 2011 23:32:57
Whose got the Daily Record then? What does it say?

Dont believe anything the papers tell u unless u know ureself its acctually correct

Why? The sunday fail said king carlos was coming back and we have 20 million lira to spend?why not believe the papers when you post pics of it and craig whyte is absolutley the best owner we could have got. him and walter smith with make sure we will be aven more brilliant next years becuse i think ally is lovely and ever more brilliant than gordon smith was

LOL Cheers for advice, i never knew the papers told lies. My question was what does it say on the back page of the Record?.

I didnt post pics of any paper on here and i dont believe anything the paper says unless it is breaking news on news or confirmed by rangers

17 Jul 2011 23:06:43
He not beter than them he grt player
