Tim Howard's a better striker than Boyd and Novo put together! lol

Miko

Hes got the same strike rate as healy this season lol

Miko,whos scored more in scotland than boyd?
drumlad

Henrik Larsson did Dumblad.Boyd is only the spl top scorer.Larsson played a season in the old premier division and scored more than him over all.do you watch football or just read stupid rangers sites?

There are numerous players, even Sally McChins has scored more times than that donkey! I assume you mean who's scored more since the inception of the SPL?? No one!

However, he was surrounded by better players whilst at the club, he never scores against the top SPL sides and there's not enough creativity in that side to accommodate him.....simples!

Miko

Hooper is just a small Kris Boyd

Healys strike rate is good hes played 1 game nd scored

That's Howard only 1 goal behind samaras for the season. Ha.

He may be lazy but he knows where the net is and with out a doubt his goals helped get the leauge back from celtic

Malky Mackay wants Stephan Dobbie to go onloan for the rest of the season would be great loan signing! and be at us once before

Stephen Dobbie is a very good player who is creative and can score goals, would be a good signing.

Malky Mackay, manager of Championship Cardiff City, wants Stephen Dobbie of Premier League Swansea City to go out on loan? Bizarre.

Maybe check your facts before posting next time bud.

Steven.

peter lovenkrands not even on the bench for nufc

Oh pleeeeeeeeease go and sign him,lol

We had the chance to get him in the summer and Ally wasn't interested.

He's injuried

04 Jan 2012 21:02:58
Time for a wee rant so sorry in advance, but as a life long blue nose im at a stage where i have been patient enough.
We get told sod all.
do i blame whyte? not really who is he?
Do i blame mr murray? Yes s**t and fan come to mind here.... and yet nothing from the man himself, last thing constructive i remember him saying was " i will only sell to someone who can take rangers on to better things? then why sell to whyte? i have spent more on rangers this season than him?
If no reasonable signings are made this month and any of our better players go we should not be worrying if mr whyte drops the prices to watch lesser players next year as he should be worrying that we aint coming back till there is improvement in the product we are paying to watch cause lets not kis oursleves on right from the uefa cup run to right now has not been gr8 to watch yes thx for winning the league but hey nothing great to watch , no flair, no dig just grind grind grind which is ok but i cant put up with that any longer and a lot of my mates are the same.
so ffs someone at ibrox say or do something to put everything into perspective and pls dont mention the hmrc as old murray boy should have had this all sorted before he went, if indeed he has gone? i know i know on paper he has, but there is something fishy with everything in fact it stinks.
all i want is a rangers team on the park that can play good footie and i accept that on occassion this team can do that but very rarely good football?
i could go on and on but heyho, let me know what you all think.... im i wrong and if so let me know how?
Also let me know what you think is wrong fellow bears.
I,m not interested in the slightest about what any celtic fans think you just concentrate on your own Team because your p*sh as well.

You are on the right mark, Murray has put in this mess, and he should be critised clearly and loudly. He put us close to administration and walks away Scott free. However I think Whyte is an absolute charlatan, a liar, a con man, and a complete waste of time. However we as fans should have made sure that no one man should own us. We the fans should own the club as we are the only people with the best interest of the club at heart, and not the desire for a quick buck

Couldnt agree more ^^^^ the football at times has been dross and yes we won the league but it was dire to watch at times and if i have to watch players like broadfoot and likes for much longer i dont think i will last much longer going to ibrox and that pains me to say that as ive had a season tckt since 1989

04 Jan 2012 20:54:06
just wondering why everyone is having a go at broadfoot all the time?....ok so the guy isnt any danny alves but surely it should be the likes of steve (invisable man) davis and jelavic they should be bringing to task over their recent performances,this rangers team is in desperate need of new faces but i fear it will be like loan players of similar standard.....pure pish!! why did mccoist sign ortis,mcckay and bedoya?,if i was craig whyte i wouldnt trust mccoist to spend any money either,
comparing the old firm i think only mcgregor,goian and possibly bocanegra would get a game for sellik,
it just shows how much we miss naisy
please dont bring boyd or novo back either!

The likes of Ortiz were signings primarily to appease the fans I reckon. A signing for the sake of it and then justifying it as a bargain and him being a ''Versatile'' utility man.

04 Jan 2012 19:20:29
Can someone enlighten me as to why the f*** people think that gary O'Conner would be a better option than Chris Boyd or Nacho Novo.....Boydy has 164 goals in the SPL...Wee Nacho is the 7th top ever scorer in the SPL, and remember,i'm not saying the guys are world beaters, but its the SPL we're on about here....people will say Boydy hasn't done this n that, O'conner never cut it in Russia, Boydy never cut it in Turkey, some might say Boydy never cut it in England....ok, O'conner was rotten at Birmingham and got freed by Burnley....Oh! and get this one Boydy who is the same age as 'ned boy' O'conner is number 1 all time scorer in the SPL as we know....164 O'conner having played the same amount of time, against the same teams '''isn't even in the top 10'', but guess who is? sitting proudly at number 10...above Gary O'.....WAIT FOR IT......''COLIN NISH'' Haahaahaaaa.........any O'conner fans left ?? if there are, the wee men with the white duffel coats, are on their way.

O'Connor is a better alround player and can pass to a team mate and set goals up.

WTF are you talking about? You are arguing with yourself. I think the wee men with the white coats are waiting for you. Kris Boyd and O'Conner are totally different players. Lmao.

Am i the only person that thinks mckay should be gettin a game. I think he should have a chance to see what he's like rather than people judging him on 1 on 2 games. and think he should stay need as much back up with players as possible

Ally needs to look at the play on Saturday then maybe he will give McKay a run as his style would suit in any case the guy needs a run to prove his worth

I agree,do you remember big hateley,could not get going,looked like we signed a pup,the rest my friends is history,so lets be a bit more patient ffs,the players need time,even the good ones.One Club,RANGERS.

Mckay won't get his chance at rangers while mccoist is in charge. that was made clear on monday when as he put mcmillan at centre mid and kerkar left mid when the game was done. surely 3-0 up at ibrox was the ideal time to play mckay and see what he's got.
johnger

Ally seems determined to play his pals MCCULLOCH EDO WHITIKER DAVIS they have been poor 90% of the games they have played.
He just refuses to change unless he is forced by injuries as shown against the Motherwell games home and away. We had Perry Macmillian at Motherwell and Healy and Fleck at home all played AS GOOD AS HIS PALS. He needs to be showing the young ones a bit of faith and give them a chance.

04 Jan 2012 15:54:53
This weekends the perfect time to have a look at guys like McKay and Bedoya. Also give Perry a run out to let him gain more experience and push on with his development. Healy and Fleck are our only real options up front and after the weekends performance they should be on a right high. I can't think of any better time in the near future to get these guys in and have a look.
I would like to see McMillan but he hasn't been seen since Fir Park for what reason i don't know so this would be my team.

-------------Alexander--------------

Broadfoot----Perry----Goian/Boca----Papac


Bedoya------Edu-----McKay-----Wallace/Aluko


------------Fleck-----Healy-----------

J1985

The game will be off anyway

Didn't we try that approach with Falkirk, history has shown the folly of underestimating anyone, it has to be our strongest team and nothing else.

Why would it be off? Have you checked forecast? Weather not too bad at weekend- typical as I am a fisherman.

Mckay and bedoya were bought so why not give them the chance? Mckay ment to be quitegood aswell

Never seen a game postponed 3 days before the actual day of the game.
Strongest team? Why not utilize the squad Ally has for a game like this? Gives guys a chance, we should never lose a game like this at the weekend no matter what team we put out.
J1985

Why play bedoya out of position? he plays cm, play mcmillian at rb davis and mckay in cm

Bedoya doesnt play cm. he is a wide man. mckay should defo get a chance.

Bedoya is a centre mid. in his last team he played on the right of a three man centre mid

Would never play clubfoot again how many more will he cost us

04 Jan 2012 15:37:06
Is it just me or will anyone whose be glad when jelavic is gone. He does score yes but wen he plays we play bad football. The Motherwell game was brilliant to watch n Healy n fleck were great to watch. As well as aluko n Wallace. Just a great match. Gd riddance if we can get over 8 million for him

You have no standard in football if you thought the Motherwell game was good to watch.......Where did you see it? It could only have been highlights on TV if you honestly think that was good football. Some OK moments but a terrible game, in particular the first half.

GDog
WATP

I was at the game. Motherwell were barely on it. The football could still be better I agree. But compared to other games where we ain't been in it. I enjoyed watching it. Wen in the last 4 months have we really killed a team off like we did against Motherwell?

He watched it on vipbox,,like me probably,,i take it you have a computer,try searching for the game in future,then make a comment........

We played better than we have in ages. brilliant link up play between midfield and our forwards and solid at the back. we didnt let motherwell play. we created a hell of a lot more than we have been and got the goals

Motherwell are the roll over kings,lay down too rfc every game,

Someone's a tad bitter/deluded ^^^
Ekger

The only reason we played better without Jelavic was because we use him as a target man when he clearly isn't

04 Jan 2012 14:21:12
As much as it hurts, who in there right mind would join gers at the moment? Club could enter administration any week now. Me personally thinks we should worry more about that threat than who we ain't going bring in, its going take years of pain to get back on our feet, but real fans will stick around.

04 Jan 2012 13:43:38
OMFG let me spell it out for all you people. RANGERS HAVE GOT NOOOOO MONEY !!!! you can window shop and speculate till the cows come home. Any dosh ya generate with jelly davis mcgregor lafferty et al leaving will go in whytes pocket before the club sinks in march. So to reiterate. YOU HAVE NOOOOO MONEY. welcome to reality.

Even if what u say is True the fact of the matter is we will always be here always challenging the title which has been ours for 3 seasons running! WITH NO MONEY! The team
Will be backed as much as possible an u still run scared from that even a loan signing or 2 to freshen up our squad will have us there or there abouts come the business end of the season we got outplayed last week at Parkhead like we got outplayed this time last year at Ibrox Rangers prevail champions and like always WE ARE NOT SCARED this Season will go to the Wire an i hope wee Ginger Tinge has got the bottle for it! Rangers Till I Die
Larky Bear

For the record you spent more than Celtic for the last 3 seasons so to say you done it with no money is nonsense ya fudd!

04 Jan 2012 12:30:41
First things first Happy New Yaers to the EDs and the regulars FF81,Gerry The Ger, Germinator, Govan FR C-Bear and anyone else i've missed hiope Santa was good to you all. This is the first chance i've had to get on since Xmas and New Year. Regarding the Old Firm I dont think we deserved anything from the game apart from the Wallace goal which to be honest I thought hit the post until I seen the replays. So there is no chance the ref or the linesman can notice that. Apart from that Iwe never created much which was disappointing
The weekends game was much better I thought some good stuff played maybe the reason was Jelavic wasnt playing so there were no long balls. Was he injured? Who knows. Sorry if this is all jumbled up can only see halgf of what im writing because im trying to hide it from the boss haha

Billyboy1

Merry Christmas and happy new year billyboy1 i hope the new year is a good one for you

campbell

Happy New Year to yourself Billyboy1. Hope you had a good yin fella.

Gerry The Ger.

Happy New Year to you aswell BillyBoy1 and to the rest of my Blue Brothers. Have a good one. Going back on the Wallace goal that wasn't. It did hit the post. I'm sure that Foster palmed it on to the post. But forget that game the next game is more important and so on.
Followfollow81

Hopefully it's a successful 2012 for us lads eh?

Billyboy1

Here's hoping so Billyboy1. Cant wait to see the end of this transfer window though and stop all these nuggets from posting pish about players etc. Only Ally and Whyte know what the funds are available and whose coming in our going out.

Personally a dream window for me would see a decent fee acquired for Jela, maybe move Edu on if there are any takers and release or sell some fringe guys, Kerkar, Bedoya, Healy, Clubfoot, McKay if it turns out he is wanting away, Weir ( been a great servant but all good things come to an end). Bring in Templeton, Eremenko ( I thought he was a standout last season, really creative). Boyd (yes i would defo take him back on a free) Novo (would be a great impact player from the bench). Bengston and Claros are highly rated and if they had the same impact as Izzageezer would be a bargain. And pick up a RB from somewhere. All would be relatively cheap or free.

Will it happen though? I've got my doubts lol. FF81, Billyboy1. Who would you like to see brought in? Sensible one's though lol. Nae Messi's and Iniesta's.

Forgot to add my name to that last post.

Gerry The Ger.

I would like to see Templeton, Rhodes, McArthur and Xavi. Can't see it tho. Murray and Brown would have scanned the world for unknown gems lol.
FF81

Who would have paid for this round the world trip FF81 LMAO

04 Jan 2012 12:09:56
Why are Rangers looking at Airdrie players! Ross County have a whole host of players who would get a game for rangers just now, Scott Boyd, Richard Brittain, Iain Vigurs and dare i say it Michael Gardyne, i know he is an ex tim but he is creative, quick and changes games single handedly, definatly more craetive than edu. Wake up Ally and look north!

You from dingwall by any chance?

04 Jan 2012 10:37:50
i know the wages might be a issue but i think david bently wid be a good loan deal but as i said its the wages?

No chance

He`s been out injured all season has he not
stg

Think about the wages, he wouldnt join us

04 Jan 2012 09:41:20
What is Rangers class then?

In Walters 1st spell he had a squad with the likes of Ally, Hately, Durrant, McCall, Gough, Brown, Robertson, Laudrup, Gazza, Ian Ferguson, Goram ect.

In Advocaat's time we saw the likes of Numan, Barry Ferguson, Reyna, Albertz, Tugay, Gio, Porrini, Amoruso, De Boer ect.

Even McLeish had players like De Boer, Arteta, Ferguson and Prso at his disposal.

Would any of Rangers current squad be good enough to start ahead of any of these players i have mentioned? NO. But these current player have won us 3 titles in a row. We have based our success on being a team rather than relying on some exceptional individuals.

So if anyone who claims current players/potential signings aren't Rangers class then please let me know what you are gauging your opinion on?

Sandaza/O'Connor/Templeton/Hately/Allan have all been mentioned on here and guys are hitting us with ...awww their no Rangers Class!! Well they certainly aren't on a level with De Boer, Prso, Durrant, Laudrup, Gazza ect,ect...

J1985

U just answered your own question !

I understand what your saying, but I think when people say 'not Rangers class' they really mean they are simply not good enough full stop.
Sandaza out of your list in particular isn't good enough for ANY club, he is God awful!

GDog
WATP

Im sure he`s scored only 2 less than jela in the spl with 5 goals against the old firm
no bad considering he`s not rangers class eh, did he not get 2 against us in 1 match

Answered my own question? well that would mean we compare potential signings to the likes of prso, de boer ect,ect. if thats the case then some fans need a massive reality check. no player with that level of ability is available to rangers...fact!!
personally id have sandaza, what have we got to lose by signing him? wouldnt cost much n i dont imagine wages would be an issue. if it doesnt work out then fine but we'll never really know unless we take a punt on the guy. but if fans compare him to prso or de boer then hes fighting a losing battle from the off.
j1985

Again I agree with what your saying in principle. However why take a punt on him? Why not take a cheaper punt on Boyd? ( I personally wouldn't on both) but surely he would be better served as less of a risk, he knows the team the pressure etc.. I dont think you should underestimate being a large fish in a small pond scenario, making the transition sometimes just does not work for some players. Sandaza was in a far better squad for Dundee U than he currently is for St.J. and he didn't set the heather on fire. Perhaps he is better suited to smaller clubs?

GDog
WATP

I agree GDog sandaza`s done well this season but maybe thats just form, he`s on a free at the end of the season, id rather see us get o`connor in he`s a goal scorer and has a work ethic and a point to prove, could be a good partner for laffs, or boyd if he returns, this rangers class thing is beyond a joke to buy class costs, laudrup,gazza,albertz, big amo,bjorklund etc etc all cost getting on for £4m a shot, we`d do owt now for just £4m to spend in a window that would be great! nevermind 3 and 4 players at that price! you shop in the places you can afford, otherwise your window shopping,
id be very happy with a player that works his socks off each game, plays for the team that would do me, a goal or 20 would be nice 2!
stg

Fair point about the Sandaza/Boyd thing GDog. Although i think Boyd would struggle in this Rangers side as he would have to up his workrate with our midfield lacking creativity. No miller beside him to do all the donkey work. Sandaza is in good form at the minute and i'm only saying he would do a turn for that reason alone, he's scoring in the SPL- we want to win the SPL and in theory he should score more in a team that gets more chances infront of goal like we do. However, i know this isn't always the case.
stg I agree with O'Connor. I like the big fella and again he is used to scoring in the league, his workrate is good and i think he's a better player now than the player he was when he left for Russia a few years back. That's only my opinion though. Could see him doing a turn and out the 3 mentioned is probably the best option atm. Lets be honest though...WE JUST WANT SOME SIGNINGS!!!
J1985

I would certainly prefer O'Connor, he could do something for us I'm sure.

Edu and broadfoot should get sold never rangers quality! Players coming through the youth are 10 times better and more commited! Why was murray park built if we wont use it? nowles

Broadfoot on his day is a quality player and so is Edu. Team is thin on the ground as it is without ripping holes in the starting 11 and regular squad players.

Broadfoot will never make a footballer as long as my sphincter points down the way, he cant even take a shy properly. Edu does a lot of work that those who have never played the game don't realise.

04 Jan 2012 00:06:27
looks like rangers missed out on a talented player... at time we were in for weiss from city there was talks about a loan for city striker john guidetti aswell . he went on loan to feynoord this season and scored 11 goals in 12 games and is seemingly few teams in europe want him now
