swansea and leicester in 8m bidding war for jelavic, rangers after neil mellor from preston -talksport.

Cracker timothy. Surely you could have thought of a better lie than that . #Oddball .

Why are you calling the guy a timothy?He has posted a rumour that he has heard and it is a rumour site.Another embarrassing Gers fan that thinks because it's not true or he doesn't agree it must be a dhim posting. www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/football-league/championship/1312/53/rangers-plan-january-move-preston-striker

I think you owe the guy an apology Oddball mate.

Craig whyte's wealth is off the radar! howzat for a lie! players paying for a game now,oh dear!

Can you prove his wealth is not?. He has already spent 18 million clearing the bank debt, 2million on players and quite a bit of cash up-grading the stadium. I sure don't have that sort of cash under my bed.

Neil Mellor, lol. We're skint but not that desperate. Would be better with Will Mellor.

Gerry The Ger. {Ed001's Note - Neil Mellor is a very good goal scorer, his problem is a lack of pace and a poor attitude. But he has excellent technique, is strong and decent in the air too. Get the best out of him and you will love him, might do him good to not be out whoring with Rooney too.....}

Well if it is a bidding war then the price will go up and up...

Whyte has not paid off the debt, he has took it on, it is still owed to Lloyds.He will pay it off if he wins the taxcase.The financing to do this is in place but it is another loan he will pay it with.There is still interest being added to the debt as well,Whyte has negotiated a better deal interest wise and will take on the payments after the tax case if they win it

Well the 7 million black hole he speaks about in wages should be no problem,just a quick dip under the bed and all is well! get the heads removed from the sand bearz!

Aye....

First of all, Swansea wouldn't spend �8m on a player. Second of all, why would Rangers sell Jelavic to replace him with Neil Mellor??

The worst rumour I have ever heard. Must try harder.

TonyTheGer

Ed you say mellor is a good player but isn't he nearly 30 am not disputing his football or anything but a 30 year old can this guy be as good as jelavic at his age i don't know will he score more goals its just that it is a risk and i would have thought if jelavic did go which i obviouley hope not we would buy somebody a bit younger then mellor {Ed001's Note - I wasn't suggesting it would be a good move, just saying he isn't a poor player, just lacks in attitude. He seemed to think he made it when he got into Liverpool's reserves, hence why he was boasting about the number of goals he scored there to erm certain females while erm out with Rooney.}

Oddball just cos you dont like a rumour dont slag people off. In local Leicester papers about jelavic

Would be better trying someone with something to prove rather than Mellor who lets face it would have played more Prem football with some club had he been up to it.

I do believe that Jelavic is on his way - it way actually his 'league sewn up' comments. That made me think that he is out of here and was trying to justify it by saying that he had already done his bit for us winning the league.

Swansea have no money, We wouldn't go for Mellor.

For every ten pounds mr whyte spends sone aluko will spend 20pounds lol hail hail

All Mr Whyte has spent is ticket and sponsorship money. Oh and the quid he paid Sir Taxdodger of Govan .

Is that the Swansea that got 90 million for winning the play offs {Ed001's Note - they did not get 90m for winning the play offs! It is not even close to that. The 90m is the total including Premier League TV money for this season and then the next few years parachute payments if they get relegated. But it doesn't take into account that every single player at the club gets a percentage increase in wages after promotion. It doesn't take into account the extra money clubs have to pay out to keep the media in the luxury the Prem forces clubs to keep them in. Plus numerous other costs.}

Sone Aluko has completed his move to Rangers, signing an initial deal until the end of the season.

The Nigerian winger completed a medical with the Ibrox club on Thursday and will go straight into the squad for Sunday's match with Kilmarnock.

Aluko agreed terms on a move to the Scottish Premier League champions on Tuesday and negotiated an option which could see Rangers retain him for a further two season.

The deal threatened to fall through because his former club, Aberdeen, claimed they were entitled to training compensation for developing the player under SPL rules for three of the four seasons he was at Pittodrie.
RANGERS SIGN ALUKO
Talks between the Dons, Rangers and Aluko's representatives on Wednesday saw an agreement struck over a payment, freeing up the 22-year-old to move to Glasgow under freedom of contract.

In a statement, Aberdeen confirmed they had reached an agreement which will see them receive "training compensation, potential contingent payments and a sell on clause."

Aluko left Aberdeen in the summer, having turned down a new deal. He had been without a club since, training with Sheffield United for a spell, before agreeing to return to the SPL.

Rod the Bear
personally I reckon the guy has talent, we need some flair in this team and I remember him skinning Bayern munich and scoring a peach! anything against bayern after what happened to Mols is good in my book

I think this will prove to be a very good bit of business! Welcome Sone! Get used to a winning team and silverware... You are now in a squad of champion so let's see you play like one.

The Fifer

Aye ur right any player who starred for aberdeen and goes for that kind of transfer fee must be ready to become the new pele. he is awsome.

Opposed to Celtic signing a released player (Blackman) from a Confrence Winning Side??

Scottish Premier League player who didnt want a new contract or....

Englands 5th league's rejects?


hmmm


Glasgow Rangers Champions ;-)

Blackman was signed as a squad player STUPID.
As for Aluko do you really think if he was that good he would have been sitting kicking his heels sins the summer,NO me either so WAKE UP a standard player in a standard league, P.S Being champions should you lot not be in EUROPE ?.

If any of you have actually seen him play before, you would have seen the guy has undoubted skill, pace and ability. The question is wether he can play well consistantly for a club like Rangers. �10mil doesn't guarentee a successful player just like a free player isn't guarenteed to be a dud. Every player needs time to prove himself, judge him after he's actually played a few months of football for Rangers.

If celtic r really title contenders, should they be SEVEN points behind first place?

Championships are never won in November, will need every one of those points after the January fire sale. Aluko for Jelavic good buisness mmm.

Isn't it a bit unfair to be judging him before he even plays a match for us? He is talented and he is young, so there is plenty of time for Rangers to develop him further. Add to that; he obviously wants to play for us, hence his contribution to the settlement with Aberdeen. We have been winning the league for the last few years because we have players like him who want to play for us, and that really does make a difference.

Your opponents getting kicked out is hardly a reason to boast about getting through to the next round especially as you had been gubbed

Poor Sone .theres one born every minute right enough . I wonder if I could get a game if I had a 100 grand to spare

Poor Aluko remortgaged his house! Living in murry park. I love how Craig Whyte only paid a pound for the club but aluko pays 100 000 to play for them! On an ABERDEEN players wage {Ed001's Note - and he will get it back in about 6 weeks! Hardly a big deal for him.}

Kicking his heels... Like when he was training with Juventus? Nugget.

Ed hes no oan 25grand a week lol itl take him a good few months to pay that back so fair play to him (even though the goal today was his fault)

Sone Aluko is undergoing a medical with Rangers as he nears the completion of his move to Ibrox.

The 22-year-old agreed terms on a move to the SPL champions on Tuesday but his move under freedom of contract hit a snag, with his former club insisting they would pursue a development fee.

As recently as Wednesday morning, the Dons were insistent they would not waive their claim on Aluko, who left Pittodrie in the summer.

But following talks between the two clubs and the player's representatives, a settlement figure is close to being reached and Aluko should soon be free to put pen to paper on an initial contract until the end of the season.

If he impresses during his stay, the Nigerian has also been offered the chance to stay for another two seasons.

Aluko is set to be included in Ally McCoist's squad for the trip to face Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premier League on Sunday.

Rangers and Aberdeen agree £100,000 compensation fee.

Express.co.uk

Welcome to the champions Aluko, the creative spark we need!

Are you honestly happy about us signing a blue square premier class player like sone aluko what a joke.

Think we should give him a chance before giving abuse, who knows wot he can do with better coaches & facilities etc, think 100k is peanuts for the risk. TheBigMan WATP

He has got talent and he is proven in our league, he must have shown up well in training and bounce game also as we have had a lot of players on trial since the summer and not taken them on.

Welcome to Ibrox Sone and good luck!

Bazza Bear

How on earth can u say he is a blue square standard of player?. Ally is doing the right thing , taking a look and seeing if he impresses and he has. No gamble in signing him and i always though he was Aberdeen's best player.

Welcome to the home of the champions Sone!.

Blue square standard lol , what like kelvin wilson, darryl murphy, adam matthews, need i go on ? oh yes big names , samaras , majstorovic , forster , badouri , kommons ?? you beat dunfermline, JUST, were really sweating now , job will be done for teddy bears just after xmas at the piggery.

I cant get excited about this one,he was Aberdeen class at best,to the poster about 100000 being a small risk(you struggled to pay a 1500 legal bill) the way things are going at IBrox that is your transfer budget blown all on one player

To Tim above...You can't get excitied by it, and we've blown our budget on one player...we didn't spend a penny in the last two years yet still had the quality to get two titles in the bag....i feel they are a worried down Piggery Way :)

To the tim with amnesia i can remember didier agathe being bought for �35,000 and he was mainstay in your team for years, sometimes its just being clever and knowing what you want from a player...in ally wee trust

You lot cant get excited about much these days though, thats why your on the champs page, nice to see the real NL fighting with his supporters last night, nice man , LENNON MUST STAY !!

Is the fee correct seem's awfully high for a player only signed til the end of the season, I understand the further 2 year option but what is in it for Rangers if it doesn't work out

Aluko a Conference Player?

Surely celtic just SIGNED a player who ACTUALLY played in the conference?? Mr Blackman??
