just watched african cup of nations and there was a couple of players who look good.does anyone know if we have anyone one out there scouting.if we don't it just show what is wrong at rangers.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Don't think mr why're would stump up
the air fare,He's probably got Neil Murray and bomber watching it on his black n White portable

Agree6 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 23:12:00
I see Sean Davis is fit again and looking for somewhere to play. Would certainly do a job for Rangers

Believable3 Unbelievable6

He turned us down before I'm sure and is no better than what we have.

Agree2 Disagree0

Just heard a RUMOUR that Norwich are now in for Jelavic, I would accept 6 or 7 mill plus Holt. Thought??

Gerry the Ger

Believable4 Unbelievable9

Why all the fuss about Holt I'm not deluded I do understand the days of huge signings are over for now but we could do better for less surely I do agree we should try for cash plus player for jela or if he's going make it in time to bring sum1 else in

Agree3 Disagree4

Jelavic wouldn't last 2 mins Lambert has already stated he's only willing to buy players who are willing to work their socks off, doesn't sound like the jelavic I know

Agree5 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 22:35:18
Look the clubs chasing jelavic - then look at there squads because there must be a cash plus player deal that could actually benifit us when jelly goes

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Did paul la G not get sacked for alot less than where we have been with ally to this point 9 point lead to 4 points behind and a poor gers team to go with it

Agree6 Disagree3

And why would they drop their wages to £7k a week to come to Ibrox.

Agree3 Disagree3

PLG spend a tidy sum at Rangers and he was sitting in 4th position. We had a great run at the start of the season, we can do it again

Agree3 Disagree4

The poor souls ,havin to survive on that

Agree1 Disagree1

"PLG spend a tidy sum at Rangers"

Eh, no. PLG spent next to nothing when he was Rangers manager, that was his downfall as he had money to spend. He spent only marginally more than McCoist and Walter nearly outspent him on Kyle Lafferty alone!

PLG's problem was he had 6 months to prepare, had money to spend but didn't and f***ed it up. McCoist had time to prepare but very little to spend.

Letizi - Free
Papac - 450k
Sionko - Free
Sebo - 1.85m
Svensson - 600k
Clement - 1.1m
Bardsley - Loan
Martin - Loan
N'Daiye - Free
Ponroy - Free
Stanger - Free

Total: £4m

Agree1 Disagree2

Wages count as expenditure. Half of those players hardly kicked a ball for Rangers.

Agree1 Disagree0

"Wages count as expenditure. Half of those players hardly kicked a ball for Rangers."

Neither have McKay, Ortiz or Bedoya in McCoists signings. Or Kerkar, Gow or Beattie for example from Walters. Do their wages not count?

The whole PLG spent loads argument is just total p*sh.

Agree2 Disagree0

Plain and simple, PLG was hounded out of Ibrox because he wouldn't give the media a story.

Every signing was done in private and the pally wally media didn't get a sniff at an exclusive. I remember them making all sorts of stuff up just to fill the papers, zidane, Schweinsteiger etc...

PLG was the one who gave Charlie Adams an extended contract and raved about him. He was laughed at by all and look where Charlie Adams is now...

Agree4 Disagree0

Charlie Adam was and still is a D!ddy. He wasn't good enough for Rangers........

TTG

Agree0 Disagree3

22 Jan 2012 22:24:36
still feel we should have bought marcelo estigarribia very pacey and confident. on loan at juventus (not getting many games there, dont think they will try and buy him in summer)

Believable1 Unbelievable5

No chance 5mil askin price n!o no! way lol i wish................ :(

Jelavic and West Ham are miles apart with regard to personal terms and sources think any deal is unlikely.

What's your thinking to the final tax case, I'm hearing 7.9 m

Agree4 Disagree5

Where did ya pick that number fae ? The stars ?

Agree4 Disagree2

Get rid of the decimal point and you would be closer.

Agree4 Disagree4

No 1 knows anything about the tax case result. Stop guessing and just wait til April when we will all find out the extent of the damage Murray has done to us.
Johnger

Agree2 Disagree3

Tax case ? no one knows. With regard to Jelavic and west ham its on TV.
CJM

Agree1 Disagree0

The tax bill is 29 mill + 12 mill so far in fines,we are in the mire financially,the only assets we have is the stadium,the players won't be classed as assets,did you know that Murray only now has %7 of MIM.

Agree1 Disagree2

Please tell me how Ibrox stadium is an asset! An asset is something you can sell to keep trading, sell Ibrox and Rangers cease to exist

Agree3 Disagree0

Sell the land it's built on to tesco. Do rangers own the land around ibrox or is that Sir David. Would have to find somewhere else to play obviously.

CJM

Agree1 Disagree1

So which strikers are actually on Ally's list and just how realistic prospects of getting one or two of them ?

Believable0 Unbelievable3

Loads of strikers, he can have any list he wants he isn't getting any because there is no money. As soon as the fans realise this the better and stop saying this name and that name it's no happening.

Agree3 Disagree3

I don't think even Craig Whyte knows how much yet. Aren't the three judges still deliberating?

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont you mean Gordon Smith's list

Agree2 Disagree1

Id like to ask all the clever clogs Rangers fans how they know that we will NOT be signing anyone?? All I seem to read here is " we have no money! we wont be signing anyone". How on earth do any of you doubters out there know the state of Rangers finances??

Agree3 Disagree3

Everyone and their dog knows rangers finances are in a bad way,accounts not being published administration a real possibility get your head out the sand mate

Agree3 Disagree2

There is a huge difference in being in a "bad way" to having "no money". we have been in a bad way for years but still spent money. yes these things are possibilities, but as i stated before you dont know if rangers have no money, 500k, 2 million or 20 million to spend so how do you KNOW we have no money?? fact is you dont.

Agree2 Disagree2

Just look at the way we conduct business in transfers that shows it!

Agree2 Disagree2

Ah just wish ally would shut his mouth,he said we will need a striker if jelavic goes or not,so in my thinking if he goes we will need 2 strikers,we cant even attract 1.

Agree1 Disagree1

22 jan 2012 21:04:08
bring back boyd the chances were missing are unreal if we had boyd playing we would be winning these games he maybe doesnt run about all game but he will defo put the ball in the net thats what we need

Believable12 Unbelievable6

What is it with wanting to sign ex players, Boyd miller cuellar to name a few.... Each and every one has turned his back on rangers for a bigger bag of money.and everyone of them has got better in the minds of fans the longer they have been away. Time to move forward give youth a chance and bring some fresh ideas to he place.

Agree5 Disagree5

Mate who cares if they went to another club if they can do a better job than anyone at the club the now get them in.people think if u leave rangers you cant come back as if the players owe rangers something.theres no youth players that would score goals like boyd can .people need to get there head out there arse if arteta said he was coming back would people be saying we dont need old players

Agree6 Disagree1

U forgot the most famous 1 gattusso

Agree2 Disagree4

Giving youth a chase would be great if we had any that was of any quality.rangers need to employ someone in south america and in africa to find young players.rangers and celtic are the only big clubs who don`t look at bringing in young foreign talent.

Agree1 Disagree1

Gattuso did not leave the Club, he had just settled down with his Girlfriend and was looking forward to playing under adovocat, then he was sold, biggest mistake ever!

Pete {Ed014's Note - I think you will find he left Rangers in '98 Pete.

Agree0 Disagree3

ED gattuso left because advocaat kept trying to play him at rb so

Agree2 Disagree1

To the guy who said bout foreign youngsters your kidden right take a look at celtic youngsters most a from another country thts rangers problem HH

Agree0 Disagree1

He then went to milan were he was played at R/Back. were Advocatt wanted to play him

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 20:20:41
Dont shoot the messenger but Jellylegs IS West Hams no1 target but they are baulking at Whyte wanting 7m up front .
CelticMatt

Believable5 Unbelievable4

Insiders said earlier on that the 2 clubs valuations are miles apart and that a deal now looks very unlikely
Johnger

Agree4 Disagree3

Johnger --i think i just heard on sly sports news that it was personel terms are miles apart.does that mean a fee agreed between teams

Agree4 Disagree4

Qpr look like the front runners at the minute johnger

james rfc 1980

Agree0 Disagree4

Rapid Vienna want him back swap with salhi

Agree1 Disagree10

I heard personal terms but nothing bout fee being agreed or even that west ham have made a bid yet.
Johnger

Agree1 Disagree0

If Jela goes Ally must get Salhi. Simple! As for where he is going I don't think anyone apart from CW knows. Come on Craig lets see how good you really are at buisness

Agree0 Disagree0

How are qpr the front runners? I thought only 2 teams have been in contact with rangers for jelavic. West ham ( talks ongoing) and west brom who asked rangers at the start of window to be kept informed of any bids from other teams.
Johnger

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 19:23:07
This is just a thought. Do use not think that rangers should have a couple a scouts out at the african cup of nations. might not be for defenders but for attaking players alot of talent to be picked up there.

Believable10 Unbelievable2

Well if most of the previous signings made since july last year are anything to go by then the nigerian amasub will join

Agree6 Disagree0

Would need money to back up the scouts, have you not seen who were getting aluko, celik, theres are no funds available!

Agree3 Disagree3

Aluko is probably the form player in the spl just now. Great piece of buisness

Agree9 Disagree5

How can we afford there plane fare

Agree3 Disagree4

Where was aluko at parkhead.that's right he was hiding.just shows he can't play with the gifted players and wouldn't make the celtics starting 11.

Agree6 Disagree14

Where was Celtics amazing the first old firm game oh that's right missing, and wouldn't have got in the Rangers starting eleven. Blue4ever

Agree6 Disagree2

Aluko said himself before the Celtic game, he wasn't fully again yet, what about when we had a fit team and the proper player in that position (Naismith) was available and ripped youse rotten at ibrox, fkn demolished yees!

Dtp89

Agree4 Disagree3

Was that same Aluko that Skinned Ledley and put the cross over for Rangers perfectly good goal ?

Agree10 Disagree5

Dry your eyes about the goal that never was.I take it rangers are a 1 man team(Naismith)?ledley not a left back and your defence makes big sammy look like a 10 million pound player.p.s how much does aluko need to pay for a 2 year deal!! 49 million hehe

Agree2 Disagree2

Was tht joe ledley who toward to meet a corner and put it in the net

Agree3 Disagree1

Ed
i keep hearing that due to Mr Whyte not having audits signed off by 31st dec2011 we are in grave danger of being refused a european football licence? if true this is frightening

Believable11 Unbelievable6

Its in black n white on uefa site.had to be in by dec 31st.would think whyte wants this kept quiet

Agree10 Disagree6

I thought it was the 31st March 2012 they had to be signed off and showing no liability for unpaid tax.

Agree6 Disagree7

Listen if we had no chance of Europe next season it would be front page of every paper in the land an mccoist would be constantly asked about it. I think we will be fine

Agree9 Disagree10

Its 31st march, so calm yourself. The tax case result will be heard a LOT sooner than most think, allowing the accounts to be signed off sufficiently.

Agree6 Disagree7

Deffo dec 31st. you clear this up ed? {Ed014's Note - The UEFA rules do state the 31st December.

Agree12 Disagree3

We are F*cked then ed {Ed014's Note - It's hard to say.We did get a licence for this year.

Agree6 Disagree3

Don't see how you're fecked. You got a license for this year even when you owed HMRC for the 'wee tax bill'.
Preferencial treatment from the SFA.

Agree9 Disagree4

More than likely we got it due to audits being in on time the previous year ed {Ed014's Note - But owing tax means the licence shouldn't have been granted according to the laws.The 2.8m was owed before 31st December 2010.

Agree4 Disagree0

Exactly Ed and as far as I am aware it should not have been granted .

Agree5 Disagree1

The reports for Dec 31st are for tranfer
payments ,any other finance ongoing before
this is due end of March.
b) If there is an amount due as at 31 March that arose before the previous 31
December, examine that, by 31 March at the latest:
i) an agreement has been reached as per Annex VIII(2 b); or
ii) a dispute has arisen as per Annex VIII(2 c or d).

Agree4 Disagree2

Rangers dispute the wee tax bill so officially we don't owe it.

Agree5 Disagree4

Rangers got a licence cos the "wee" tax case hadnt been ratified,since then whyte has accepted he owes that money but hes arguing the penalty incurred. {Ed014's Note - David Murray had accepted the bill and so did Whyte as part of his takeover.It is only recently he appealed.

Agree4 Disagree0

What a load of babble! nothing to do with transfer cash.see ed's response! read the eufa website,you got a licence on a technicality but since then whyte has admitted liabilitie for wee tax case,he's disputing the penalty.you deffo right now owe 2.8m so no licence

Agree6 Disagree1

Calm down lads, the tax case is separate from the accounts audit and that is why we have been given leave to wait until we have concrete figures to hand over when the case is finalised.
The Eufa body realises that with the ongoing tax case that any figures are subject to change by the ruling body(i.e HMRC) at time of final judgement.
It's just a business thing, we don't have a definate figure because of the case and have been given time to hear the decision and then publish our accurate accounts.

Charli3.

Agree2 Disagree3

The tax case has no bearing on the accounts not being signed off, these are last years accounts, any fee from the tax case would hit this years accounts or maybe even next year.
Something else is going on and whyte is trying to hide it.

Agree4 Disagree0

Possibly because it is being disputed.if we win we dont owe any tax therefor may not be in the wrong, if we loose then we may be banned for next 1. im just guessing dont know tho./biggles

Agree1 Disagree0

Haha.you have got to be joking with that post!are you craig whyte?given time cz you dnt have definative figures need to remember that when im putting in my tax n vat returns! eufa realise you been cheating for years n dont care.you are right tho it is a buisness thing n thats why it has to be in on time.you deffo owe 2.8m thats not in dispute.tax case has no bearing on a uefa licence. does anybody really think this story is true? green jhedi

Agree1 Disagree1

The wee tax bill was for 4.2M and is being disputed, it is made up of 2.3 Million (not 2.8) and 500k for a penalty, and 1.4 for late payment. 2.3 Million is what was ringed fenced, CW has to challenge the total amount (4.2) he can't pay some of it, Taxman wants it all

Agree6 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 18:08:14
No inspiration from Steven Davis once again. A captain that hides when the going gets tough. Doesn't offer himself to take a pass and drive the team forward. Can't believe we are reduced to lumping balls forward hoping that either Jelavic produces something or the opposition makes a mistake....so frustrating to watch.

Believable12 Unbelievable3

Ah'm no having that. Did you actually watch the game. We had enough chances to win two games. Greegsy had one thing to do all day and that was to pick the ball out the net. If we had a poacher in the team we would've won that game at a canter.

Big Sqaash.

Agree9 Disagree10

Yea only wish ness was fit he would control that midfield area

Agree18 Disagree8

Hit the nail on the head there mate!!

Agree7 Disagree6

I thought Rangers midfield played pretty well yesterday, Edu played well, Davis played pretty well aswell and Aluko was our best player again. The fact is, we were unlucky not to be 1 or 2 up at half time and if we did and won the game no one would be talking about how Davis played. Wallace was our weekness, only because he offered little in the final third, though he was unlucky not to score. Hopefully with the arrival "Super Mervan" we'll have a better balance in midfield and in particular going forward on either wing. WATP Neilyboy

Agree6 Disagree10

Jelavic was unlucky a few times as well, as a team we played pretty well, excluding Healy obviously !

Agree5 Disagree5

I have to be honest and say davis is one player i would happily drive down the road to villa or whomever.

Doesnt fill me with confidence and plays 1 in 10 games if lucky.

We need creativity and he is very much lacking.

Edu does the horrible job that no one likes, but davis' job is to create and drive and he simply does not complete his mission.

Seems very undetermined and lack lustre pretty much all the time.

Aluko, wallace, edu mervan sounds ok to me as it stands, but get some funds to buy someone if davis departs and we also have bartley, jig, wylde, hutton, ness waiting on sidelines.

Agree8 Disagree2

Davis is the weak link we need a play maker and a leader

Agree12 Disagree3

Isnt it worrying that your best player came from a poor aberdeen outfit, paid his own way and not 1 team was interested in signing him! dark days ahead!!

Agree3 Disagree5

I cant believe you are all slating davis... get a crip so called fans. Davis has been instrumental in all the success we had had over the last 4 years, davis needs players to play around him, i mean take a look around davis in the middle of the park. He has to cover so much for all the muppets like edu, and aluko (never tracks back doesnt care at all about marking men when we are on the defence) wallace looks lost sometimes to. Guys like jela, papac and davis must be thinking, wtf! so lets get behind our captian for i hope we shall see a new dawn soo with him at the helm with great players around him

Agree3 Disagree2

Juventus? And if so, u should also worry as Celtic aren't any better.

Dtp89

Agree1 Disagree0

Juve took him on trial but didnt want him.

Agree1 Disagree0

Just to point out i was in the broomloan front for saturdays game and thought aluko got a hard time from the sheep but the bottom line is we should have had the ball in the net at least 3 times in the 1st half alone we struggled badly upfront from me healy is to small to be playing beside jelavic imo i think kerkar should have stared with healy playing in behind jela and kerkar whats also worrying is (i think) we had 13 corners and only scored from 1 ally really needs to try something new

Wullie

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 17:44:18

id take boyd back purely for goals he would have banged at least a couple in against the sheep....

also id take the estonian boy hes a competitive player good on the ball and a threat going forward be good to see whitty having a bit of competition when hes back.....

little boy boy

Believable8 Unbelievable9

Rangers trying to bring in Brandao from Marseille even in Jelavic stays.

Believable1 Unbelievable15

Haha worst post I've ever everrrrr heard !!

Agree8 Disagree0

Better try reviving marlon brando

Agree7 Disagree2

Would be great but craig whyte is not willing to bring in anyone who will cost more than 10 grand a week.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 17:23:19
If or wen jelavic goes we have to look at the club buying him for a player plus cash deal - freddie sears would do a job up here

Believable3 Unbelievable9

Not sure about the player but its the right idea jelavic to liverpool for say 7 mil and a couple of there reserve team players on loan for the rest of the season

Agree1 Disagree6

22 Jan 2012 16:01:58
wouldnt rangers be better offering boyd a deal rather than another right back wen we have mcmillian broadfoat whittaker and also the young lad darren cole who is away on loan just now we dont need another right back wee need at least two strikers

Believable14 Unbelievable10

Offering boyd a deal oh great there's an exciting thought!!!

Agree7 Disagree10

Agree with the strikers and that was in the last window. The only thing about another right back it keeps Broadfoot further away from the team. We are bad enough

Agree7 Disagree1

I agree with 2 of your points mate, 1 - McMillan should get a chance as I reckon he could do a job for us and 2 - we defo need strikers and fast, in relation to the rest Broadfoot and Whittaker should get nowhere near our team and would rather they went, problem is somebody at Ibrox decided to offer Whittaker a massive contract on reportedly £23,000, massive massive fail and should be a sackable offence, as for young Cole, ain't seen enough of him to comment, and finally Boyd - can't deny he scored goals but was also a lazy t**t, we need someone who will work there ass off as our midfield are regularly posted missing.

Agree6 Disagree2

Ye agree boyd is lazy but he gets goals an thats what we cant seem to do at the moment an point was with whittaker an broadfoad we have cover there an play mcmillian instead of them and use the wages wer offering jagger two get body in even till end of the season before we lose further ground in title race

Agree2 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 15:51:19
just reading the sunday mail and opened it and seen andrew ellis with barry hughes at yesterdays game it one croock not anuff for beloved team but to have 3 is a joke

Believable14 Unbelievable4

It is a total embarrassment

Agree14 Disagree4

Bit harsh calling them crooks - especially from somebody that can't even spell.

Agree6 Disagree11

Whyte is a venture capatalist, Ellis a property developer, and when the tax case is over, it will be asset stripping time, its not HMRC thats the problem its Ellis and Whyte, they are only interested in making money for themsleves
both are crooks and scam artiists

Agree12 Disagree7

Hughes isn't even a gers fan

Agree4 Disagree3

Hughes is, but as far as I knew was a Celtic fan.

Agree5 Disagree4

What assets exactly are they going to strip? Players? Of which some profit will have to go back to the club? Or ibrox which is listed and can not be touched or Murray park? Which is situated where ther is no other purpose or benefit for it? Were in a recession so property development is hardly a wise potential, winning the tax case and profiting from ownership is the only thing they can do.

Agree4 Disagree1

Murray park is actually on very expensive land and would be worth a lot of money for housing. Ibrox can actually be demolished due to the grade of listing it has. I agree with the first post, whyte and this Ellis character are crooks, simple. Time will only tell If they are ruthless enough to liquidize gers, I think there may be a plan but it will be painful mark my words, the fans will be crucial in this

Agree4 Disagree2

Hughes was at the game for talks with officials over a deal to take Jelavic to WBA and us getting Dorrans, Hughes is Dorrans agent. Deal wont be happening though.

Agree3 Disagree0

Barry Hughes is Graham Dorrans agent, and yesterday held discussions regarding a deal for Jelavic going to west brom with Dorrans being included.

Agree4 Disagree2

Murry Park is not on expensive land. It only becomes expensive once it has planning permission for housing and that would take at least 5 - 10 years.

Agree3 Disagree0

Murray park is leased from MIH (murray international holdings) so cannot be sold as part of Rangers

Agree3 Disagree1

according to jelavic's father his son is not interested in a move to west ham or qpr and has his heart set on a move to anfield. liverpool contacted rangers yesterday and rangers are prepared to discuss the situation provided a minimum of 8m is offered

Believable6 Unbelievable6

Thats BS liverpool have never declared an interest in jelavic, and if he goes anywhere it wont be near £8m, please believe me

Agree9 Disagree10

Why would Liverpool pay £8-£10 million for Jelavic? Even Andy carroll is in better form than Jelavic!

Agree6 Disagree12

You talk s**t carroll has done nothing and on liverpool forums they are all happy about taking jelavic.

Agree10 Disagree4

To be honest BBC reported late last night that Liverpool were favourites to sign him.

Agree11 Disagree4

It was menioned all over the radio stations north and south of the border that liverpool have contacted rangers about jelavic so get your facts right before coming out with bs etc. it is almost certain that ally is preparing for life without jelavic. and lets be honest why the hell would he want to stay here!

Agree9 Disagree0

You have to laugh i bet most of these comments saying we wont get £7m £8m for jelavic are from celtic fans yet they shout about gary hooper worth £8-£10m ...

Agree7 Disagree2

To be honest if you get 6-8 for Jelavic then Septic would be looking for the same for Hooper, without blue tinted glasses on he's no a bad player

Agree6 Disagree2

The liverpool bid was a pr spin once again no doubt from gordon smith to try get bidders and more cash for jelavic,liverpool aint and never have been intrested,

Agree9 Disagree3

Celtic are in a position to say no to bids for their players though which is why they can hold out for big money. If someone bids 6-7 million for Jelavic Whyte'll have their arm off.

Agree5 Disagree3

Dalgliesh signs Jellylegs and he will get the sack .

Agree4 Disagree5

BS like i said = PR spin, when have Liverpool came out and said they were interested? never, not once, nada, zilch, zero,

Agree7 Disagree1

If it was pr spin then Liverpool would be declaring no interest ya muppet!

GDog
WATP

Agree1 Disagree6

Jelavic would do good at anfield with suarezs workrate upfront n some good passing m/f big jela would get goals easy he just needs the right supply n were no giving him at n he would show andy carrol up!.............

Agree2 Disagree3

Because it was mentioned on radio stations and newspapers up and down the country, not once have liverpool ever declared an interest in signing jelavic, like ive said twice its the rangers PR machine that keeps linking players to clubs to drum up some sort of interest, if he was such high demand, why have not 1 formal bid came in as of 22nd Jan?

Agree3 Disagree2

I am a Rangers fan and have the pain of watching us week in, week out at the moment.

If I was McCoist I would sell Jelavic provided I was given 500,000 from his transfer fee to buy Sahili from Rapid Vienna.

I think that would be good business. I would also like to see us test the resolve of Hearts and bid for Templeton. He may be inconsistent but he rips whittaker to bits every time he plays us. Albeit the latter isn't very hard to do.

Also, if Celtic offered us a straight swap right now, Hooper for Jelavic, I'd bite their hands off.

Agree4 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 14:49:49
Mohammed Tchite has risen to the top of Ally McCoist's striker list of targets.

He will fly into tomorrow.

Believable3 Unbelievable8

Could never afford him, get a grip

Agree6 Disagree3

Enough tchite players at ibrox!

Agree11 Disagree3

Dont think we could afford his flight,never mind sign him.

Agree3 Disagree1

Tchite would cost 4 million and or so call owner would not spend a quarter.

Agree2 Disagree0

Celik and Tchite is someone taking the p**s

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jan 2012 14:42:38
Why can't we just sell Broadfoot. Or release him. Just get rid of that donkey. He was out for 6 months because of an injury from cooking a f*cking egg. Are you having a laugh?! I firmly believe that removing that person would improve the over all quality and team spirit at the club.

We are all Salim Kerkar.

Believable11 Unbelievable8

Yep, Broadfoot is the reason we are not taking our chances and finishing teams off. There can not be any other reasons. He must be kept a minimum of 25 miles from Ibrox from now on.

Agree12 Disagree2

Hey the egg did us a favour kept him out the team!

Agree12 Disagree2

Big broadfoot scored on his Scotland debut after a slagging beforehand. Get the papers to gee him pelters a couple of days before and he will probably win us the league. Leave the big man alone.

Agree3 Disagree7

Think everyone is a bit unfair on big kirk,there is more of a reason for poor form than just broadfoot.try mccoist,he is no up to the job.time to walk away ally.

Agree3 Disagree1

Broadfoot doesnt deserve the slagging he gets on here, he always gives his all when playing for Rangers unlike some. We are all Salim Kerkar? You are an utter Tosser more like! Kerkar is useless, he should be gone, Fleck should still be here!

Agree0 Disagree2

The 2nd comment was of course me being sarcastic. The most 'agrees' I have ever had.

Agree1 Disagree0

Maybe if we played big kirk in his correct position as a centre half he would be better appreciated he is not a fullback or a midfielder, typical of rangers recently

I keep reading that if QPR sign jelavic Hughes will give us a 34 yr old striker what use is tht. We are the team who has the player they want get DJ Campbell instead great replacement and younger.

Believable3 Unbelievable4

Defo m8, they want our player and dj campbell would score loads up here.

Agree3 Disagree5

Exactly its our player that in demand the ball is in our court don't get ripped off with a 34 yr old in return would be poor bit of business.

Agree5 Disagree2

Hughes will not let dj Campbell leave and dj Campbell does not want to play in the spl

Agree4 Disagree2

I disagree the player is heidar helgueson who is in top form. I think he would do a job for us

Agree2 Disagree2

Ok we will leave him alone new broadfoot.

Papers reporting today that if jelavic goes ally will loom at Grant Holt, not sure ho true that is? Also perdsonally id sell jela and bring in

Driver -500k
Boyd - Free
Skacel - Free
Jaager - Free
Holt - 1million (pushing it i know)
Loan for a cm?

Out
Jela -£8million
Weir - Free

What do you think?

Spoc the true blue

Believable12 Unbelievable16

I wouldn't take Holt. He's too slow and getting on a bit.

Agree9 Disagree7

Paul lambert doing you,s a favour ? dont think so . MTH

Agree12 Disagree2

Ally will see none of the money for Jelavic the only thing he can use is the wage. We have no money and the intention is that the money for Jelavic to be used in other areas. Blue4ever

Agree9 Disagree2

8 goals in prem for a newly promoted team is gd e wud score up here aso aye wud take him aluko pace wud make up for his lack off

Agree1 Disagree4

31 in april , good to see Ally going with youths now that big Davie Weir has gone ;-)

Agree6 Disagree2

Grant Holt would do a job up hear for about 2 years. his Performance against Chelsea yesterday was brilliant. An that why i think he would destroy defenses up hear with his power and strength.

Agree1 Disagree2

Grant Holt would tear the spl up i think your guaranteed 15-25 goals a season in the spl but he's a hero down in Norwich and i very much doubt they will sell

Agree3 Disagree1

Would anyone take Artjom Rudnev i remember him in the Europa League last season and was good. If we could how much would he be, I get him and bring in Jelavic former team mate Salihi

Believable2 Unbelievable6

Artjoms Rudnevs would be great in the SPL but i think he would cost between £2million and 4 million. So he is out of our price range

Is there any truth in the marseille rumour or is it just the papers telling fibs. If it is true then thats 3 clubs that are in for Jela hopefully a bibbing war is to come!

Have we not got enough defenders?!?!?!?!?

We have 3 centre backs and Bartley will leave soon

We already have enough players playing out of position, Cuellar is no holding midfielder !

We don't need a holding midfielder never mind a defender playing there. We need a creative midfielder to help us play football.

There are plenty of players that rangers should be going for. And on the cheap. Boyd (free agent), Riordan (free agent), skacel (contract expiring), sandaza (300k). All can score goals in the spl. We, at the minute are struggling to do. We could get all these players in for a grand total of 300k plus wages but we dont seem to be pursuing any of them. WHY?

Big Sqaash.

Believable5 Unbelievable9

The whole idea of developing a team is to look forward not backwards dont revisit the past give the kids there chance

Agree9 Disagree2

The problem is ally is NOT giving the kids a chance

Agree9 Disagree2

Not saying that your wrong as it would be great to build a developing team and all, but good young players are a gamble or expensive, I think the poster meant that the team need results & goals, players proven in the SPL are less risk at least until summer, need someone to come in and know what its all about.

Boyd would be great, I didn't like his work ethic but loved his goals & would take them back without question.

Agree5 Disagree3

We are holding out for the highest bid and the most we can get for Jelavic before we even look at another striker... AndyPandy63

Agree0 Disagree0

Tell me what kids we've got that can score every week in the spl. Ness (injured), fleck (loaned out), hutton (midfielder), wylde (wideman). These kids are never scoring goals for us. That the only thing we need now, is an out and out goalscorer. And boydie is probably our best shot, as he is free agent and would welcome a return to ibrox. Also hope the likes of wylde, ness (when fit), mcmillan, perry etc get a run in the team. But we need the experience in and about them as they cant do it all themselves.

Big sqaash.

Agree1 Disagree0

We'll probably never know what our young players are like until we see them play regularly.........for other teams, after all Super Ally didn't just learn his Pub league tactics from Walter !!!!

A lot of talk recently about Lee Wallace. It was a strange signing. McCoist has talked about us lacking a spark and then spends 1.5 million on Lee Wallace who definetly does not provide a spark.

We already had a left back in Papac.

Believable9 Unbelievable6

Wallace has talent - Papac is dependable but is a centre back not a left back Wallace is a modern day full back which is ideal is McCoist plays the right tactics - that and the fact that Papac has expressed his desire to go back to Bosnia at the end the season - lets start supporting the lads at the club - we arent rich and cant just bring in "world class" players anymore - far to boo boys at Ibrox on a saturday

Agree8 Disagree5

Papac is out of contract at the end of the season, Wallace is a natural replacement!

Agree9 Disagree3

Papac is a great leftback and has been a great player for the club, but he only signs or is given a 1 year extention at a time, and might not resign again this summer,

lee wallace is clearly considered the long term future for the rangers left back role,

next season is papac leaves, wallace will slot into left back, and if we sign aluko on a long term deal (which we should be doing like now) he can play left flank (alternating with wylde) and then naismith will be back playing on the right...

Agree5 Disagree6

Lee wallace would be a far better option at left back imo, the boy is being played out of postion and would be better bombing up and down the flanks compared to papac who is slow as a week

Agree3 Disagree3

I think celik has been bought for the left

Agree6 Disagree2

If Papac is away at the end of the season then surely we could have left buying a replacement until this summer rather than last.

Agree2 Disagree5

Wallace has been making runs up the field for us all season hes very good

Agree1 Disagree2

Wallace is a left back not a winger! He doesn't have the pace or skill to be a out and out winger

J

Agree1 Disagree0

If you don't think Papac is a left back then Bartley is most certainly not a right back. Once again we have a back 4 full of centre halves and a full back in midfield.

Looks like QPR are back in the running for Jelavic
but Ally wants the deal done quickly.
QPR are front runners - and Hughes may be willing to throw in hitman Heidar Helguson as part of the deal. Helguson is top scorer at Loftus Road but his boss doesn't see the 34-year-old in his long-term plan.
McCoist would certainly be keen on Helguson. He said: "I'll keep trying to get as many players in as I can

Believable3 Unbelievable7

Therein lies the problem McCoist will take whoever he can get regardless of position, age, ability like Ortiz, McKay and Bedoya, we could have got one decent player who would actually add something to the squad instead of three bench warmers who were never going to get in front of Edu and McCulloch, and now as it tuns out Bartley, Papac, Kerkar, Bendikson and Wallace have all been preferred in midfield not to mention the new boy Celik.

Sam Allardyce has confirmed West Ham have enquired about the availability of Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic. Gers boss Ally McCoist has also revealed there have been board level talks between the two clubs, but there has yet to be a bid.
------------
I think from now to the close of the window we'll be hearing similar, if not bids coming in. Hope Ally has some idea of what he is going to do if Jelavic leaves. Don't know if it will be West Ham he goes to, but he could well be on other club's radar who are waiting on the side lines. Think we will be lucky if he is still with us at the end of the window.

Players i'd love to see come and go to Rangers if we got £7-8m for Jelly:

In:

James Morrison (West Brom) £3.5- 4m
Jordan Rhodes (Huddersfield) £3 - 3.5m
Jamie Mackie (QPR) £1 - 1.5m
Fran Sandanza (St J) £0.25m

Out:
Jelavic £7m
Edu £2m
Ortiz £0.5m
Broadfoot £0.5m
Healey £0.75m


Barry Barry

Believable4 Unbelievable17

And u think we are going to see any of that 7-8 million? Time to waken up!

Agree12 Disagree2

Poor choice for me Barry. Jordan bids have been £5m, so your way off there. Sandaza is sh!t, and we could not afford wages for Mackie. I'm sure this is just a wish list and not too serious.

The sad truth is, we would be better off keeping Jelavic, unless of course we go into admin and get point deduction then it matters not. However if we are to give ourselves any chance of CL money we need him to ensure 1st or 2nd. So 7 or 8 or even 10 million will just not stack up at the end of the day and is a very short sighted plan.

Barry Barry:dear,dear! rhodes for 3.5m n almost 9m in spending + signing fees n wages.are you mad? were shoving players out the door to free wages for new players.it would appear 7k per week seems to be the max we can pay.there is no euro football nxt year which might affect season book sales(that are to increase by 10-15%) n a 10m black hole in operating costs.in ally DO YOU trust?

Agree8 Disagree0

Ur an idiot whyte wont give u 7-8 mill to spend an rhodes for 3.5 mill west ham had 4 mill knocked back idiot!!


T-Bear

Agree9 Disagree1

Rhodes for 3.5? keep dreaming
he is worth double that

Agree10 Disagree0

We have no money!! If we bring in 11 million allY will get 2 mil to spend maximum

Agree6 Disagree1

Who will pay that for healy,and you can shove sandaza up your jacksie...trueblue..

Agree9 Disagree1

2 prem players would not jump at the chance to play in the spl, there is no draw for them here now! jordan rhodes will not leave for £3.5m, there are prem teams interested and this will push his value through the roof, and sandaza has already rejected rangers

Agree5 Disagree0

3 strikers and winger in, 2 strikers RB, CM, winger out? lol

Agree4 Disagree0

Why on earth do you want Edu out. Him and Aluko carried the team. Edu made so many tackles and ran his heart out. Stop just jumping on the bandwaggon with Edu. The man does the least attractive job on the pitch. He does his job better than any other defensive midfielder there is in the league. If anything Davis should go. He was useless and not a leader. Selling Edu would in my opinion guarentee Celtic the league.

Agree10 Disagree2

Yet another fan who lives in cloud cuckoo land !

Agree5 Disagree2

A little bit strong calling the guy an idiot. The vast majority of fans realise we will get pennies, if anything, to spend in this transfer window( and perhaps next 3 seasons or so).

Agree2 Disagree0

Well Barry Barry, looks like you are talking Barry " BARRY WHITE " !! Thats a wish list and it has no chance of happeningm8, but nothing wrong with wishing.... Keep believing m8, nothing won 'til May

Agree7 Disagree2

Gotta be honest guys I raised this point as a kind of wish list and for a bit of banter. I certainly got banter didn't I? For all the lads referring to myself as an idiot you must all be jungle jims trying to wind it up because you are certainly not loyal bluenoses. So Rhodes is worth double that playing in the 3rd tier of English football and Jelavic is worth less than him? Have a word.

oh btw its Heldar not Helgia plus anyway postiga is rubbish we can do alot better than that

How/ why can we do a lot better than Postiga etc? Where will the funds come from? Its obvious we won t be buying anyone for over £0.5m.
