well we are signing loads of players in the transfer window bull s88t we cant afford loads but for definate wee novo on his way i know the family know the family well welcome home nacho also taking a drop in wages true blue

Novo won't be signed wages can't be agreed

Super ally is a blue hero and always will be in my eyes but as a manger it's hard to take him seriously I mean Boyd novo Ricky foster ? Good players for the bears once but is he trying to get back all the lad that Walter had. The thing about sinking Neil Lennon as much as I can't stand him I respect him as we he took over the tims he brought inn HIS OWN players and set up HIS OWN team whereas ally just seems like a mini Walter witch wouldn't be a bad thing if he was half as good as him I mean Walter would have mauled every rangers player before he let that 15 point gap slip away!

Has McCoist come out and said he wants these players? ...........or, is it all media speculation?

Who knows?

Only Honk Kong Phooey.

no news of anyone coming in

out:
broadfoot to bristol city - hoping for £1m but likely £500k - £750k
no others currently on their way despite all the rumours

fringe players to be out on loan:
adam - fleetwood
hemmings, mccabe and kerkar looking at possible places to go to join cole and hutton already away on loan

no news on mackay or ortiz for now

Number 6

Be lucky to get £2 for broadfoot hes the worse footballer ive ever seen

Kept forrest in his pocket last OF game.

Was big foot no looking for his aunty up the stand when the tick scored

Kept forrest in his pocket last OF game.
------------------------------------------

Am sorry but this is not the case- it was broadfoots disco dancing backwards that led to the goal against the mankys, it was like forrest had a big stick pushin broadfoot away the whole game... rip his contract up and give McMillan the chance he deserves.. anyone agree?

Broadfoot distribution was shocking against Celtic and is in general. It amazes me that a player who can't pass, tackle, control the ball or mark players can be playing for Rangers! Truly awful player and even in our current situation we have better players like McMillan

Mcmillan is never a better player than broadfoot the better right back is whittaker

It was broadfoots disco dancing backwards that led to the goal

they scored from a corner, should have defended it better as a team, not just broadfoots fault

I totally agree give McMillan a chance can't be any worse than Broadfoot.

I would personally drive him to Bristol to make sure he went.

They should give mcmillan a chance but he isnt better than broadfoot

Liverpool are poised to test rangers resolve with an opening 7m bid For jelavic

What resolve?

When? Where did u here this?
Any tube can post that!

No their no. Admit it you just made that up?. The opening bid is 7 trillion but we will hold out for 10 trillion. Away back to bed and stop making up rubbish.

He wouldn't get near the Liverpool team

If carrol gets his game jela would walk into the team

Rangers have made contact with Garry O'connor this morning regarding a contract and have also been in contact with Hibernian to see what is required to tie bring him in this window.

Not sure when we will be hearing about O'Connor decision but noone is expecting anything speedy from Hibs most likely to drag on for the entire window.

There is also work being done to find out Aberdeens valuation Fraser Fyvie and Peter Pawlett. This has been requested by Rangers, Cardiff City and Southhampton are also interested in Pawlett with Leeds Utd very keen on Fyvie.

It is looking like McCoist has been given permission to start strengthening the squad.

There are also instructions for agents to find new club for fringe player Scott Gallacher and to find loan deals for Rhys McCabe and Kane Hemmings.

Hemmings is the surprising one for me, with the current striker situation he will be 2nd choice, unless thare are plans for further strengthening upfront.

The Mexican

You are making up GUFF seno'r ! No source, just made up nonsense. I heard we are getting Rooney and Ba on loan....

.......and have also been in contact with Hibernian to see what is required to bring him in this window.

buying two aberdeen players strengthening the squad. Where are they in the table?

I posted in the last couple of days where I get my info from, u can read back if you can find the time to wade through all the GUFF.

The only part if my comment that was my own opinion was the last paragraph. If you like I can start posting cuttings from the BBC or other outlets that we see littered all over this page or perhaps you would prefer peoples FM2012 wet dreams that pop up all all the time.

"two aberdeen players strengthening the squad. Where are they in the table?"

I love how people view each persons ability on how there club is doing wasn't Everton 5th bottom of the EPL when he signed for man UTD, we can then look at the like of Gareth Bale at Southampton need i go on.

Each player is an idividual that may not suit each style of play look at Man Utd its the worste man Utd team in years 2nd in the EPL. Dont judge a book by its cover and remember where Aluko came from the mans done not to bad so far.

sandaza has said to st johnstone he doesn't want to sign a new contract with st johnstone and that he has had contact with clubs in Scotland Spain England and united states

will mr white bring down the price of season tickets next season.if we get rid of our best players.i wont pay the same money to watch the likes of broadfoot.

For a start Mr Whyte won't be anywhere near Ibrox next season - he'll be back in Monaco with a wee profit in his back pocket . Good news is that you won't have to pay as much for a season book - New Rangers 2012 will be in 3rd division . You won't be able to afford Broadfoot .

Rangers will not be in the 3rd division !!lmao . this guy clealy know nothing about scottish football ! . without rangers or celtic the spl will be nothing !! so why are celtic fans wanting rangers to go into adminisration so much ? if rangers or celtic do the other will be absoloutely nothing no hope in hell of becoming a strong european force! because most players come to scotland to play in the best rival game in the world !! rangers v celtic !

i know i rambled on a bit bt fk it :))

mark ;)

Mark that was superb buddy, I couldn't have wrote that post any better, I have this same argument at work with some of the tims fans but they acctually do agree that if either rangers or Celtic did go into admin well u could practically wave goodbye to the spl

04 Jan 2012 19:05:46
when will we find out about the talks mcoist and whyte are having

04 Jan 2012 18:39:52
On the Danny Wilson thing.....Rangers are not owed any more money from Liverpool, unless Wilson plays for them....it was 2m upfront, then 300k instalments up to 5m if he made the number of games, but he will get shipped out, and that will be that...no more dough.

04 Jan 2012 18:32:12
i think sylvan ebanks blake from wolves would make a decent loan signing for rangers ..he would get goals in SPL

Lol aye good one timothy ya dolt.

Why would a timothy come on here and suggest crap players for Rangers to sign? I think its a case of whoever has an opinion that doesnt match yours must be a timothy or a declan when in reality this is more than likely a suggestion from one of your fellow bears.

p.s. Ebanks Blake was collosal in the championship which is of a similar standard or better than most of the SPL

04 Jan 2012 17:26:11
Rangers to sign richard foster from Aberdeen in a 500k deal .
Also Mcgowan from hearts with Broadfoot going in the other direction in a deal in upwards of £300k going to Hearts

How can he be going to hearts when they cant even pay there players wages?

Mad vlad has even been offering some players new deals. What's that all about?. Who in their right mind would go to hearts?

CJM

Mcgowan is alot better than broadfoot but broadfoot is worth more. Broadfoot would not go where is wages are uncertain

Hearts paid there wages the day saying money came from buisness done

December wages?

CJM

Rubbish yet again pure lies they wanted 2.5m for him in the summer now he is first choice and captain o aberdeen!

04 Jan 2012 16:10:56
i just got told that QPR are stalling on the fee for jelavic rangers want £12m for him with 75% upfront however QPR are wanting to prepose giving rangers £9m for him with 50% upfront and Adel Taarabt onloan for 6months till Rangers can find a replacement QPR want the deal done ASAP as two Other EPL teams are preparing transfer packages!

Pretty good offer don't think we'll get better!

That's rubbish.Taarabt is one of QPR's best players.They wouldn't dream of letting him go on loan,let alone to Rangers!You might be right about the price.If Andy Carroll is worth £35m,Jela is easily worth £12m, although £9m is more realisitic

Taarabt is a good player but do we need him? we have lots of wing options.

Haha as if they ll put tarabt on loan as part of the deal

Check out SSN Transfer Clockwatch.

Taarabt is an enigma
good player but a luxury we dont need,
we need players willing to fight for the cause and that he WONT do

Taarabt wants away from QPR him and warnock dont seem to see eye to eye anymore think its to do with him blocking his move to PSG but warnock wont sell him he said so it could be possible does he even get game with QPR anymore?

Tarabtt has been pretty poor so far this season, hasn't really made the step up. I think they'd loan him out to a championship side if anything... but i can't even see them doing that. Muzz

Isnt Taarabt subject to a 15m bid from some Saudi team ?

How much do Vienna get from any future transfer fee for jelavic?

Taarabt plays regularly and is attracting interest from all over Europe. PSG and Napoli have been credited with an interest, while there are plenty of EPL teams keeping an eye on him. Thus, he's automatically worth more than Jelavic.

Do you seriously think QPR have any intention of loaning him out for 6 months?

And that's completely ignoring the fact that Jelavic is worth nowhere near £9-12M. His form is poor and the club are skint and would have to sell for far less...it's not like someone is going to offer 9M just to be nice. Get a grip of reality son.

The cash should be paid in full for jela with a percentage of next transfer fee if he moves again spurs still owe us for hutton an we aint got that money same wa danny wilson rangers shouldnt deal like this wee need cash upfront

04 Jan 2012 15:35:21
Does anyone think old firm games are going be on this weekend? Both teams are going to wet and windy places

Doubtful i would thought plus a fair bit of travelling for all involved - not ideal in the current weather conditions.

Weather not been bad in angus so I dont see why our game would be cancelled ...

04 Jan 2012 15:00:43
ps guys just got some infom in that gers are curr right at this minute (dont know the exact representitives) but they are in discussion just now with HMRC reps regarding a settlement for the case .... however gers are diggin the heels in and take it to final hearing they believe were gonna win the case ...... but i wouldnt be too suprised that if in the very near future (jelly sale) that we settle with HMRC for 5m or so ...... Been told by someone that has no reason to lie and i actually do believe him might hear of this very soon either about the meeting or a settlement reached .... keep ur ears peeled. hope tis true gers need to be able to start looking forward.

Germinator

Forget any new signing this would be the best news the club could get this January if true really hope so

HMRC refused a settlement of 10m earlier this year so i cant see 5m being accepted.rangers can only negotiate if given permission by murray holdings and they seem to be in a bigger mess than us.they also dont care about our tax case as its clearly stated rangers are solely liable for this why else did whyte pay £1 for us.i hope im wrong but i fear dark days ahead.we have no chance of winning tax case if whats been reported is true.my accountant told me that companies were warned about these payments years ago thats why everybody stopped using them or tightened up to include tax,apparently we did not.whyte must be seen at this time to explain to supporters what the at best/worse scenario is

Have heard its a £12m settlement that tax man will have to accept or risk receiving nothing. Sale of Jela will cover most of it. Sadly may have to forfeit a league championship but i certainly dont blame Mr Whyte, he saved us when he bought us over and has had to deal with a lot of old club business, mostly nothing to do with him. He gave Coisty money for new players and new contracts in the summer, its not his fault if Coisty cant get the best out of them.

Tbh how may times have you heard this! its the same old every time, it says it all when you cant even trust your own team!

Germinator is again relaying what he heard on the radio last night. i have told you for months that rangers will settle tax case for 8.1 million. this is what hmrc are considering.
the tiger

Rubbish.HMRC will not settle.They will wait for tribunal decision.They've already turned down more than £10m and will not take an offer.We cannot negotiate with HMRC.CW agreed to allow appeal to be managed by MIH as they're involved also.Unfortunately,this one is going the distance,and HMRC usualy win at tribunals.

8.1m settlement! you must be joking m8.take your head outa the sand n wake up.i think if we get away with anything under 25m(two tax cases + penalties) thats a result.the 10m black hole and the wage bill remain a concern for me.whytes grand plan might be brilliant but he wont tell us.admin? worse? a euro ban would be a financial nightmare

04 Jan 2012 14:29:43
Someone please take Broadfoot & Ortiz away from our club and give players like Bedoya and McKay and others to show what they can do. If Jelavic wants to go let him go. Invest some of the cash into getting a couple of others on that could do a job for us. We are the champions we are just not acting like it recently.

Agree mate but it aint going to happen,names will be dragged on till the end of the transfer window,if we end up with anyone i will be very surprised,team going down the crapper with whyte and m,coist,cant believe anyone could actually listen to the garbage that we hear from the yes man m,coist,he is just whytes lacky boy......

We played better with fleck and healy than we usually do with lafferty and jelavic

Fleck and Naismith as strikers?

I agree with most of your points, between now and the end of January Rangers will be linked with a lot of players like in the summer, dont think anything will happen at Ibrox until after the 18th of January if anything.

Why the 18th?

04 Jan 2012 13:31:02
QPR despratley ineed of keeper rangers despratley short of cash. 2+2=48 classic journalism.

Why whats up with their goalie paddy kenny?

04 Jan 2012 12:47:29
QPR have added Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor to their list of transfer-window targets.
The Premier League club’s manager Neil Warnock has already secured Manchester United’s Federico Macheda on loan and retains an interest in Ibrox prize asset Nikica Jelavic, despite baulking at the £10million asking price for the striker.

A question that comes up every month or so and no one can answer, so let's try again, where is Gordon Smith?

Well today he will be at murry park overseeing a promotion for the arbroth vs rangers match

Gordon Smith isn't getting a game at the moment, because he is in his late 50's.

"Gordon Smith isn't getting a game at the moment, because he is in his late 50's".

That might change when your best players go.

Is this use of the word 'your' a grammatical error or an indication of where your loyalties are

Anymore injuries up front and he and McCoist will be getting a game, (and probably would still put in a better shift than Jelavic has of late!!!)

Look forward to Jelavics career following...Cousin and Boumsong..grass not always greener ( no pun intended)

Gordon Smith is spending some quality time over the holidays with his elderly parents FACT

Sitting next to whyte at motherwell game,,stuck together with velcro them two

I met him a couple o times in Ayr hospital over the hols.

Someone posted about us being interested in Salihi from Rapid Vienna. Any truth in this?

04 Jan 2012 03:39:23
QPR are targeting Rangers' goalkeeper Allan McGregor

No they are not. He would not go to loftus road, it's a dump.

Yes they are it say in the Sky football apps in paper talk part {Ed001's Note - which part of 'paper talk' are you missing?}

Warnock definately has mcgregor on his radar. {Ed001's Note - he might well do, but using paper talk to back up a statement is ridiculous. I would trust Rooney alone with me nan before I trusted anything in a newspaper.}

Classic Ed001 ( I would trust Rooney with ma nan ) lmao
FF81

Feel this is all a bit harsh on the original poster. Simply states QPR target McGregor which may well be true. He never said signed! Its a reasonable rumour.

Rangers are expected to make a £1.5 million bid for Dundee utd striker jonny Russell

Aluko had to pay his own way....Doe that not make it blatantly and abundantly clear we have NO money unless we sell. So 1.5M got Russell....Hmm. Man Utd

What aload of nonsense, I know for a FACT. we will offer 2m + Lafferty, so stop posting daft comments....................ahhhh

Rangers have no money

Wish the Ed would stop messing with my posts. Left out a source so it made me look like a tit and then put Man Utd when I didn't. {Ed001's Note - no one messed with your post, that is what came through. I am not going to waste my time messing with your post, I would delete it all not edit it at this time in the morning, it is far too busy until some of the others wake up.}

Aluko had to pay his own way....Doe that not make it blatantly and abundantly clear we have NO money unless we sell. So 1.5M got Russell....Hmm. Man Utd
_________________________

Nope, it doesn't mean we have no money. It means we refused to pay stupid compensation to Dund Utd who were taking the pash for saying they developed a player. Rangers wanted to go to a tribunal. Aluko paid as he didn't want to wait. So to answer you once again - It doesn't mean we have no money. All wages etc are being paid on time.

04 Jan 2012 01:01:36
Everton to bid 3m for Steve Davis as Bolton and Norwich also show an interest.

I hope not best midfielder we got

The snooker player as our Steven Davis signed a 5 year deal not long ago and would cost more than this!

Best midfielder we have but he is playing rubbish. Time to cash in and get someone else in with more drive.

GB

Everton canny afford £3m. And he's worth more than that

GB, I think you should stick to Fifa son, maybe thats what you do with your video games.......couple of bad games....sell him!!

Sell anyone now ( which is certainly possible) and we will not get the same money back. If he goes for 5mil we would probably get 1mil back!

Who are we gonna get for 1mill that has Davis ability? Maybe you should send out your Fifa scouts and tell us all who you find!

GDog
WATP

Cant see any truth in this rumour and £3m for Davis. You must be joking.
Best midfielder at Rangers by a mile.

Maybe he is the best midfielder at our club but that doesnt make him worth millions. the way he has been playing hasnt made him look like he is class and worth alot. hope we keep him though and he gets his form back!
