All the speculation about Goodwillie.... None of us has a clue, This is a rumour site but everyone seems to think they know about what Rangers and Blackburn have offered. There is no way Dundee Utd would turn down £2.2 and 800k of add ons plus a 10% sell on. And if you think for 1 minute any of the Old Firm have offered £2m for him your off your head.
The boy is a good player and has lots of potential but he isn't any better than Naismith for Rangers or Hooper for Celtic. If you think he is a Rangers fan then again I'm sorry to disappoint you all, His family are all Celtic fans and I know this because he played for my brothers team before signing for Dundee Utd, He played with Carse Thistle (Stirling) and his family always watched him on Saturday mornings before heading to Parkhead.

Is that why he has the 5 stars tattooed on himself?

His dads a Ger and his mum is a Celt

So have loads of people but doesn't mean it's Rangers orientated.... Get a grip man. You see 5 stars and think it's a Rangers tattoo.

And there's pics of him as a youngster wearing a rangers top. nuff sed {Ed047's Note - there's a pic of me in the nude when I was two, doesn't make me a Chippendale

Where is the pic, I've seen quite a few pics of him in his Carse Thislte top..... Does this mean he is a Carse Thistle fan.... If he does sign then it's a good signing but to get him Rangers will need to match any bid from any other club and I can't see that happening. The EPL is a far better league than ours. Just another thought.... Can he play in Europe as he has played for Dundee Utd this season in Europa League?

So you tell us then who he supports the smart arse? he's a bluenose and if you dont know that then ye know f*** all

DG IS A TRUE BLUE his dad and sister are trueblues as well his cousin on folow folow will be psn himself when he reads this you lot get more dilluded by the day .b4 you say it Cardiff are signing Bellend so thats why they havent bothered to put a bid in for some reason they wont announce there interest in bellend untill 15th Aug something to do with his contract so you can take that back to the darkside and bank on it

He supports the team that pay him the most money.That is it in a nutshell.

30 Jul 2011 23:11:34
come on goodwillie we meet the asking price and your club are still rejecting i think its time for u to be harsh to united and request a transfer.

30 Jul 2011 22:57:36
This goodwillie situation is so pathetic it's untrue First whyte was stupid not just taking him for 2m but then when eventually we give Dundee utd more than what they want they become spineless sods and reject it.

Dundee united are two faced and need a good doing over when we next meet.

Agree with the part about doing them over next time we meet - if we get goodwillie hopefully he scores 2m goals? haha... i'd settle for a hat-trick

30 Jul 2011 22:55:03
Honestly If we don't get Goodwillie so be it. And if we only go after Murphy I think thats a so so choice. I think we should bring in a Loan player as a striker cuz Jela, Naisy , Lafferty, Hemmings and healy could do enough te win us the league and through to the Group stages at least. We need CB and CM first and foremost. Our strikers are good just nobody but davis feeding it to them. We WILL be ok people have faith I sure do. WATP 4IAR

30 Jul 2011 21:57:09
I think some people should read what Spence has said before they post because your all looking pretty thick. The offer is 2.2M including add ons. 600K less than Blackburns offer which is 2.8M including add ons. Does everyone understand? {Ed047's Note - yes sir, we do sir.

30 Jul 2011 21:40:32
BLACKBURNS BID IS WORTH £2.8MIL THATS WHY GERS BID OF £2.2MIL WAS REJECTED. IF JIM SPENCCE IS TO BE BELIEVED. COULD PEOPLE STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS

Then why didn't they give both him and his agent permission to talk to them ya donk, and turn off the caps

30 Jul 2011 21:13:24
If rangers have had a 2.2 million bid refused utd are taking the total p:£s total a joke who do they think they are

Like a said on here a few days on this the more teams that bid eg blackburn then its gonna turn into a bidding war

Aye taking the piss right out of us, , ....not there fault, OURS

30 Jul 2011 20:42:13
Where is our main man Ed047? {Ed002's Note - I believe bail was not granted.}

30 Jul 2011 20:33:38
Happy with today's result, performance still not great but improved from Saturday and Tuesday.

Few plus points I felt were Lee Wallace & Dorin Goian.

Wallace looked well worth the money today, very assured defensively and also always willing to get forward. As he further beds into the team he will develop into being a great long term left back for Rangers.

Of course today was only Goian's first outing but I felt he done well. He's a big unit and he too looks assured defensively as expected. He seems to have a decent turn of pace and his use of the ball was good at times. He dealt with Sheridan and Haber well, and I think he could become a very solid and reliable player for Rangers.

We still need 3 or 4 players in my opinion. Hopefully fees can be agreed for Juhasz and Verhoek as both seem very keen to come. Goodwillie is one I would also like to see but whether that is going to happen remains to be seen. We definetly need a striker. I'm also hopeful another deal can be struck for Kyle Bartley as he can play midfield as well as centre half, we know what he brings.

I also feel John Fleck needs a run in the team. He has great ability and needs a confidence boost. A run of 8-10 games would allow him to show what he can do in midfield along with Steven Davis.

Just my opinion of course, feel free to comment.

Absolutely spot on . always liked wallace but not sure if ally knows what to do with papac, i would play wallace in front of papac left wing

30 Jul 2011 19:49:44
First time posting here :D been looking at all these post about goodwillie, and about the blackburn romour, well they didnt put in 2.8 million, they put n 2 mill with add-ons ... and goodwillie has said, he is not making any desicions untill he find out if rangers are going to pay the 2 mill, if they do he will move to the gers but if they dont soon he will move one to persue his career, hes only 22/23 so he wont wait long as he is eager to play and improve

And goodwillie has said, he is not making any desicions untill he find out if rangers are going to pay the 2 mill,

When did he say this, ? Anyone got a link or have a decent source ?

30 Jul 2011 19:04:12
glad and relieved today for ally, i'm not going to lie, i've got reservations about him. Christ he was my hero as a boy but it's a big job. I Hope he can do well and am pleased with a decent away win today. Don't know how edu played today but on tuesdays evidence, we need to change that midield. I like nasmith in the middle of the park , and i tipped him to be a superstar this year (can you confirm ed?)
Let's get a bit of width in the middle to stretch the play. Jelavic is clever enuf to beat defenders but not when there's three round him. Like the new signings (again, i thought we'd get wallace for between 1.3m and 1.5m ) and the defender sounded solid today, so good work ally. Finally, i want to say again, i like the signing policy. Let's never again pay over the oddds for a player, they should be thankful to come here. We aint Barca but we're winning something every year practically and you only have to look at Beattie, weiss and diouff's faces when they picked up medals to see that means something. C'mon Rangers
Bazbear

30 Jul 2011 18:28:25
Davis was outstanding today, but Edu was awful, and McCulloch and Edu won't win us games. Why don't we get Bedoya in now ? Are the figures that difficult to juggle for this move to be made earlier ?, Ed ? {Ed001's Note - yes, their season ends in December remember.}

His team will wait till near the end of our window then theyl take whatever we offer them

30 Jul 2011 18:27:46
ally must know something we dont about goodwillie because reported ssn website that he is still in the hunt, so heres hoping ally brings a rabbit out of the hat

30 Jul 2011 18:48:07
I see everton are supposed to be
making a 3 million offer for steven
davis maybe if the offered 9-10million
someone might listen tothem what do you think ed {Ed003's Note - dont know if Everton have £3m to spend}

Everton need to sell to buy, this story is a non-starter mate.
RFCJ

Everton are skint. They need to sell before they can buy. Ed can I ask why they have no money to spend considering the amount of money each team gets off sky every year. {Ed001's Note - for some reason they have a really high wage bill, not sure why it is so high when they have such a small squad though.}

30 Jul 2011 18:06:40
Watched both games today, filled with hope after watching how bad the other mob are at the back , did we send them broadfoot.

Why are you watching THAT lot ?? FFS I would rather poke my eyes oot wi' a shoity stick

30 Jul 2011 17:08:04
does anone from Rangers scouting read this page then why dont we sign Erimenco now on a free and the guy showed last year he is a class player and could fill the gap left by edu week in and week out why he keeps getting picked is beyond me and i wonder if the management team are seeing the same player as i am, as all this guy does is hide in the middle of the park and when he does get the ball his passing is shocking.Replace him with Erimenco and see the difference.

Aye of course they do, They save a fortune on scouting by visiting this site.
And as every poster has extensive knowledge of players they can fill there boots.
I heard that Durrant always posts on this site but I hope they don't go for the player you mentioned as i've never heard of him.

30 Jul 2011 17:01:42
Vladimir Weiss winding up Celtic on his twitter page lol also did a wee good luck to Rangers message before our SPL game, bring him home Super Ally

What did he said ???

30 Jul 2011 16:07:23
You think Dundee utd are being idiots with us because we wouldn't let them have Webster ?

It was websters choice not to go to utd not ours. He was a free agent.

UTD Had agreed to inform Rangers when the bid of £2ml had been reached, if they matched this bid then they could talk to DG

30 Jul 2011 15:41:56
George Boyd ANOTHER talented player who comes from a Rangers background. His grandad is a big Rangers fan and that's who makes him eligable to play with Scotland. I'd love George Boyd or Jamie Murphy on the left hand side and best to luck to wee Goodie wherever he goes he'll always be a bluenose

30 Jul 2011 15:36:40
today was surprised to see sasa papac playing left midfield, if our left midfielders were able to delivery a cross like papac we would be fine, but papac has no going forward senses. wallace had a greatdebut, edu at times again was a little sloppy, but good performance on the hole.
mccoist spoke to espn and says that the goodwillie could be done still.

Wasnt Wallace's debut and it whole idiot

You mean "wasn't" and "it's". Gonnae no correct someone with bad grammer, with bad grammer. lol.

Naithsmith was superb today, as was Jellyfish. Need a decent CM to partner Davis. Moan the Gers

30 Jul 2011 15:32:16
want blame neil alexander if wishes to move on from rangers as he has always played second fiddle to alan mcgregor, and normaly just get the cup games, but would wish for him to stay as he is a very strong no.2 goalkeeper to have.

30 Jul 2011 15:17:07
I think if we get a new CB and striker we will be gd, naismith back in2 midfield and edu out, hes shocking player time has run out 4 him. cant believe mcculloch is getting shot down, do u forget the guy is coming back frm a knee injury, whats edus excuse?

I think lee mc is past his prime, edu is just gash neither of them are good enough to unlock defences or have the legs to compensate, lee mc is a squad player edu should be flogged

30 Jul 2011 14:38:42
BBC Scoreboard confirms that

Goodwillies talks with Blackburns have stalled.

This one is not over yet Bears.

30 Jul 2011 14:37:14
Ally interviewed at half time in todays game, refused to comment on reports about Rangers trying to still sign Goodwillie.

30 Jul 2011 14:24:49
blackburns deal for goodwillie not done yet

if rangers bid around 2.5 million for him then the
bid should be accepted

roland juhasz says he wants to join rangers and he says he is worth around 2-3 million

if juhasz signs then i cant see rangers signing
cuellar unless bougherra leaves

should also try and sign wesley verhoek cause
juanma ortiz has no pace and wesley is much better than him

Ortiz should be bjudged when he gets played on the right, regular failing we buy players and play them out of position which knackers their confidence.

30 Jul 2011 14:14:14
Naisy and Jelavic looked class today ;) and did we really need goodwillie , a would prefer murphy than goodwillie however ?

What about dj campbell? For 1.3mand wages wouldnt be a problem. I cant believe no1s realy brought him up and the bears arent raring for him

30 Jul 2011 13:52:20
In McCoist we trust

Let's wait and see, he's not walter yet...

Only walter is walter but he s history now mccoist is our future give him time and im sure he ll be a good manager, my only concern is lack of experience in the boardroom its hindering ally a bit but they will learn together

McCoist doesn't need experiance in the board room thats what Smiths job is

30 Jul 2011 13:42:26
Rangers need to talk to Goodwillie Agent, highlight he will not be sitting on the bench for us and can go to the Premier League when he has a bit more experience. Also outline that Glasgow is not Mexico City as Peter Houston would have him believe.

Dundee Utd must be concerned he will not accept a deal down south to say all these negative things about Rangers, Glasgow, etc.

Maybe a bit more to run on this one, but up to Goodwillie to say he want to come, because if we offer the same amount as Blackburn, Dundee Utd will still block the move as they do not want Goodwillie coming back to score against them.

Come on Gers

30 Jul 2011 13:25:55
please please please mr mccoist get edu of the park he just aint got it

Played ok mid way through the first half (first time i;ve seen him turn a player well in about a year) but that spell only lasted 15 mins. Glad he was taken off and Fleck given a try, although he also didn't get to contribute much

EDU JUST LACKING A BIT OF CONFIDENCE ESPECIALLY WITH GUYS LIKE YOU ON HIS BACK, MCCULLOCKS PISS THOUGH.

Fleck didnt get on, dont know what game you were watching? Dont understand why Healy isnt getting a run out

30 Jul 2011 13:03:38
mr whyte has landed a 35 million contract to catering and cleaning company at murry park and ibrox, come on now lets get some players in, and wouldnt have paid nearly 3 mil for goodwillie so not dissappointed

Wit you gibbering about ...

30 Jul 2011 13:00:35
goodwillie deal to blackburn has hit a snag :) bbc sport

30 Jul 2011 12:37:15
Y is edu playin again, he's bn awful for months. He nds left out for a wile. Can't believe he's still in the team

GET OFF HIS BACK M8.

30 Jul 2011 12:22:27
on SSN , the transfer bit , on rangers in's it says goodwillie and pavone , heard he's a free transfer ? anyone know if he's decent

30 Jul 2011 12:01:38
papac to play on left wing wtf?

30 Jul 2011 11:49:32
anybody know if we matched blackburns bid??

Dnot know if we matched but jim spence BBC has tweeted that the deal has hit a snag

According to McCoist we havent given up hope of signing goodwillie

Dont need to, as long as rangers are willing to pay £2ml(no add on"s) we can talk to player, this was the agreement at our first offer and Ally has said the deal is not yet dead.Back to form today.WATP

30 Jul 2011 11:45:34
No, whyte is not right to be overly tight during this transfer market. It makes no financial sense when qulification for this year cl is now hanging by a thread an the winner of this years spl gets auto into the cl {Ed001's Note - but buying players does not guarantee progress but it does guarantee expense.}

Agree with Ed, throwing money at trasfers does not always win the league, just look to the Eastend last year, get my point.

30 Jul 2011 11:10:08
Wesley Verhoek " Nottingham Forest Good club Rangers dream club"

30 Jul 2011 10:37:23
I'm sick of hearing all this pish about whyte not putting up money. He has tied down some of our top players also brought in three signings and one joining in January.....and believe me there will be more to follow. just because we are being sensible with our money its all doom and gloom but if people remember it was our extravagant spending that put us in financial meltdown, so i think we are entitled to bide our time and bring in the RIGHT players. If it wasn't for Whyte we wouldn't be getting any players so shut up and get behind the club. RTID

30 Jul 2011 10:15:39
FFS Rangers Dundee utd want 2 million no less this they have made clear So why offer 1.8 million... Just pay up Whyte as it's getting embarrassing ....

30 Jul 2011 10:01:46
Have to laugh at Goodwillie stuff, Sky Sports News say DU have rejected a further other from Rangers
The lad will end up where he ends up, we need to concentrade on 3 points today

30 Jul 2011 09:23:52
rangers have another bid for goodwillie rejected: ssn

Im going to perth today and will be cheering the team on as i do every week but this is beyond a joke, DG should have been a gers player weeks ago, get a new bid in that they are going to accept and just see where DG himself wants to go.

30 Jul 2011 09:04:01
Another bid turned down for Goodwillie according to sky sports news. I love our club and never criticise the team, management or the hierarchy but this is becoming worrying. I have no fears of our best eleven competing with and beating Celtic over the course of the season but as has been seen already with injuries to Lafferty and Weir we ain't gonna be as lucky again with injuries. We need re-inforcements and as super ally must have identified Goodwillie as a priority can we not offer what utd are looking for and let's see if the boy wants to play for us or not. I am concerned we have been linked with and appear to be missing out on so many targets.

Are Martin Bains negotiating skills being missed?

A concerned but loyal teddy bear

30 Jul 2011 08:58:39
Why do people keep saying the Cuellar deal is dead? there has been absolutely NOTHING about it in any papers or TV... Hes just getting as many 40k's per week he can before he has to come up to Glasgow for 20 yas gotta start posting decent rumors

30 Jul 2011 08:48:13
Rangers have improved offer for goodwillie rejected. Source: SSN. I don't understand what is difficult about this? Match Blackburns offer or it will be rejected Get a grip Rangers.

The way we've been bidding the offer probably went up 2 or 3 quid:-P

30 Jul 2011 08:21:59
I came on here a little while back and said that it was a big gamble that whyte didnt bring players in early for the CL qualifiers as looked what happened in kaunas and a lot of people said dont be daft we will beat them easy with what we got well we didnt now we look like crashing out of the CL jackpot 15 mill league winners this year automatic group stage 15 mill 30 mill total ceptic dead and burried like they could have done with us when we were down looks like were going to miss the oppertunity now please tell me how is that good F.....G buisness by graig whyte so what if we save a bit here and there on transfer fees if he doesnt get the players in were goin to blow 30 mill i think it might be a bit late with malmo when are rangers ever goin to learn if none of you think this is crap then your as thick as whyte hopfully this will be the learning curve if we crash out against malmo we will start to get players in early next time they cant be that thick to do it three times in a row

30 Jul 2011 04:37:29
is it me being paranoid frllow bears or has this secetarian (not sure on the spelling) singin s**te put players off signing for us or does mr whyte really have the cash?

30 Jul 2011 02:00:08
wake me up when the windows shut, thanks

30 Jul 2011 01:49:19
Right Goodie seems to be heading to Blackburn, good luck to him. Jamie Murphy NEEDS to be a Rangers player now because if we miss out on another talented young Rangers supporter I might just cry lol.

Goodwillie had a great season last season and would score goals for us, but ive watched him a few times and he would not be the messiah people seem to think.any proven goalscorer will score goals the amount of chances rangers make every game and there are better players out there for the money.

30 Jul 2011 01:33:42
Aken this a banter page and we al have a go at each other but jst now we aint up to much a cant c where we goin to get goals at the moment a dnt hate edu but he has had a bad few months the best a have seen him was when he played rb in the psv game if a was ally the team a would play the morn would be
Allan meg
Whity doian papac wallace
Ortis bougy davis whyld
Naisy and jelavic
Ok we losin goodwil but so what lets move on what we need is passion in the middle we need big box to box player.
Ryan/casey

Jelavic will score goals

30 Jul 2011 00:57:17
Agree or Disagree

Who thinks Jamie Murphy is better value for money than David Goodwillie, because I do.

TrueBlue96

I do agree with you mate a think jamie murphy would be a qwalety sighning and he will only cost about a million so yes i agree with you

Been saying that for weeks just sick that Ally wanted Goodwillie and whyte has let him and the majority of Rangers supporters down badly {Ed003's Note - Maybe, Blackburn asked a while back to be kept informed so they would know what sort of offer they would have to "trump" so to speak, and it's not Ally's or Whytes fault at all}

Definately agree, cheaper and allreports from coaches past and present say this boys going to be a a star

30 Jul 2011 00:43:11
When will Whyte actually back Ally in the players he wants to bring to Ibrox.

If Goodwillie does go to Blackburn, how many now on Ally's list of signing have we now missed out on.

Put your money up Whyte instead of giving us a load of bs. when it comes to bringing players in.

I remember mcoist talking about his transfer list and a b plan incase the takeover didnt happen, well with the way its been going he must be on to plan z now and scouring the highland league and league of wales for players, that seems to be all the budget stretches too, not a happy bear

29 Jul 2011 23:56:43
I posted on here about goodwillie going down south as I heard it from rangers scout john brown. And I was shot down in flames. He will sign for blacburn rovers tomorrow after a bid of 2mill up front with ad ons to take it up to 2.8mil. Never belived he would sign as we have never been in the running due to his desire to play in england. So even if we did meet the asking price we wld not have got him.

Good for you, well done :)

Baybear get to your bed what happened to the 30th and 31st a wish it was febuary but it aint lol

Make that 48hrs and 10 mins till august honest lol

29 Jul 2011 23:46:37
oh dear, aw naw, whit we goni dae, awbody is gaun to ither teamz n wur no signin onybody, are we too guid fur thum.....get real Mr Whyte show us the money and we will buy Celtics biscuit tin n use the changeAm hacked wi it aw.... {Ed047's Note - you posted this seven times. I was gonna bin it but I'll put it down to frustration. it causes delays because I have to deal with each one. Next time I block your IP

Is that in English?
