Craigyb

BS mate Ally has already said there will be no 'marquee' signings like Jelavic ie 4 million He's already said he's focusing on ' quantity not quality', guessing he doesn't want to be in situation squad have been last couple of years with loads of injuries and no cover? So expect lots of loans, frees and Bosmans

Its hardly bs mate. for one he plays for almeria n hes hardly marquee. look it up ya tool

craigyb

Bet you feel a bit silly now they've agreed a fee, eh?

Marquee? he will cost 1 mill at most, last year of contract, club relegated, nearly 31 and almeria in financial trouble.

Chris Baird to join for an undisclosed fee from fulhambut believed to be around 4m. My uncles friends with his agent. Would be a great signing. WATP

Whyte will never spend £4M on one player, McCoist already said no marquee signings so no chance

4 million :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D left with 1 million to cover his wages and the rebuilding of a whole squad :D:D:D:D

Chris Baird wouldnt join us trust me

This is lies, i know his mum and dad. chris is a celtic fanatic and last year his parents house was petrol bombed by protestant paramilitries, this is NEVER going to happen

There is no way we will pay 4 million for 1 player, but why oh why do certain people keep saying that we only have 5 million to cover both wages and transfer fees?? Where has there been ANYTHING to suggest such a thing?? I have seen quite the opposite as it happens

Why would they pay £4million for Baird when they aren't prepared to pay£2million for Goodwillie. Stop posting bull.

Heard were lookin at freddy adu, still a young midfielder. Bn on trials with loads of top clubs. Believe he's a free agent after bein released from benfica. B a great signin. Forward minded midfielder like davis.

Hes showed a lot of promise but has never delivered.

he was on loan in russia too.

Hes not a regular for USA anymore as his forms been so bad. I cant see us wanting him tbh

never know tho obvs

Freddy adu hahahahahahahahaha is that boy still 17 years of age? hahahahah hes been the next best thing since george best, for the past 8 years or so hahahahahah am actually laughing my head off up here hahahaha a want to no his REAL AGE?

Hes pacey dunno if thats it though

Can't be that great if he's been on trial with loads of clubs but no one has signed him.

He is absolutely terrible worse than every midfielder in the spl

Aye he was a phenomenon purely bcoz he was 14 and looked like a 30 yr bodybuilder.

Could still come good as hes still only 22 unbelievabley

I was pretty negative and i watched a vid called freddy adu, im back 2011.

made me change my opinion a bit tbh.
If he played like that in a blue shirt every wk i would take him in a second..

Maybe language is why he struggles. He is a Ghanian born american who sounds like hes from compton... gna struggle with portugease, russian and turkish lol.

Freddy Adu is now 22 years old and played for the USA in the Gold Cup final, a 4-2 loss to Mexico.
He looked average at best.

Haha, i think tryin to understand the locals in Govan might be harder than being in russia :P

In Sky Sports interview Harry Redknapp has confirmed he has met with Craig Whyte regarding loaning Rangers a couple of players. Players named as Jake Livermore, an English 22 year old midfielder and Bongani Khumalo from South African, a 24 year old centre half.

Im sure we tried to get the south african guy, last year but spurs, signed him first

Livermore has signed a loan with Leeds recently has he not?

No he was on loan at leeds for end of season

This was the the SA boy we looked at last year and went to spurs for 1.5million

Both correct because he said the are still intrested sending them out on loan to this great club

That was until the end of last season, when the loan to Leeds expired

I stand corrected he signed a loan with Leeds in march but it ended at the end of the season.

No the Leeds loan has ended.Yorkie lad

Livermore played 5 games for Leeds at the end of last season and spent the first half of the season at Ipswich.

WAS THHE AFRICAN NOT OUTSTANDING AT THE LAST WORLD CUP, IF ITS HIM THEN THAT COULD BE QUITE GOOD

Link for this Redknapp one please?

He did play well in the world cup, im sure he scored against france aswell. Could be a good addition, just hope we are looking at permenant centre backs aswell, Weir cant keep defying the odds, he has done us proud, need a new captain to step up and show the 'No Surrender' mentality.
Phil WATP

Bongani Khumalo Scored in the world cup against france

Livermore is quite good but the cb is big and clumbsy

I think Khumalo is the player rangers were targeting before he went to spurs last season.

Jake Livermore was at peterborough and was constantly injured , thats why he was sent back also had spells at leeds when he hardly match fit.......

04 Jul 2011 19:10:19
redknapp live on skysports news, saying he is going to loan two players to the gers.

Khumalo and livermore

I just posted that as well mate but I missed the names? You know who the players are? Is it that centre back Khumalo?

Khumalo was the CB tht Gers tried to sign last year but a move never happened and thn the next transfer window he moved to Spurs

The two of them are crap always loaned out every season, and have never kicked a ball for spurs.THANKS Harry.

Livermore has made 1 app for spurs

Bartley is never in the arsenal team and always loaned out and he was s**t hot..

Khumalo is a CB thats came from SA league to EPL, eh also he has Ledley King, Woodgate, Kaboul, Bassong, Dawson to oust Give the guy a break for f**k sake

Yeah has to oust woodgate who hasnt played in a few years and king who cant train and only plays a few times a season, kaboul who is a right back and bassong who cant get a game you have also missed out an aeging gallas. not saying hes bad but not as much ahead of him as you thnk

Spanish utility man Juan Manuel Ortiz (UD Almeria) is at Murray Park holding talks with Rangers, STV can reveal.

also stevie davis to sign new deal within next 7 days. also expect another approch very shortly for david goodwillie which will be accepted


{Ed010's Note -a big thanks to all who have taken the time to post this information but as is usual in breaking stories, I will publish one post in "rumours" and another one in the "banter" section, so that any views or opinions can be added. Regards Ed10

Not that I know much about the guy, but he has played in La Liga for a few years which should mean he is of a fairly good standard.

Good to Ally sniffing around the European leagues relegated sides for transfer bargains.

RB.

He should be signed by wednesday says sky sports news

Was reading the Man City rumour page there and it says Rangers to raid Man City for weiss, santa cruz and wright phillips

Where uz getting the money for them and there high wages ? whytes full of shi*te
daviebhoy08


{Ed010's Note -daviebhoy, there is a saying that a week is a long time in politics but in football, 24 hrs is it's equivalent. For some time and in particular over this weekend, Celtic fans have posted contributionsn about the fact that Craig Whyte and therefore Rangers have no money.

Celtic fans questioned his commitment to Rangers and revelled in the fact that players were 'lost' to other clubs because we could only afford to pay £6k a week tops, on wages. Today, the man and the club with no money, have just blown that theory, right out the water.

Now you come on questioning where this and any other potential money is coming from. Why would you be so interested ? I can only think that your bubble has been burst and as a Celtic supporter, you are now really concerned that targets who appeared out of our reach yesterday, may actually be in range today.

Finally DavieBhoy, I would agree with you that from a Celtic perspective, Craig Whyte is full of sh*te. He led the Celtic support up the garden path and they, like you, fell for it, hook, line and sinker. Intead of being a figure to be riducled, is he now a figure to be feared ?

Yea defo on there page hopefully we can get all 3 of them

Don't believe this one at all, sorry chum.

I really hope this one rumour that has a bit of truth in it.

Where would we find the money to fund this? SWP has already said he os going to Bolton. Weiss has as much as said he is not coming back - although he would love too.

At daviebhoy ...you are always on this rangers page giving it this and that about who ragers cant buy ...WHO have celtic bought 2 pre contract signings free at that and some kenyan guy for £800,000 not exactlly big spending ..rangers are takig their time we dont need to panic buy here we go to 4 in a row

Their is now way wright philips or santa cruz wud take a wage cut to leave the premiership. weiss would because he obviously has football in his blood, whereas the other 2 are just money grabbin c**ts FACT

So Ed - Rangers and Whyte are now to be feared because of a rumour on the Man City web page. Get a grip man.


{Ed010's Note -did you not see the question mark ?????????????????

Maybe Santa Cruz and Weiss but i dont think Wright Phillips would come to Rangers

Daviebhoy s p*ssin his pants lol

Well said Ed010. you are spot on. IN ALLY WE TRUST.

Well done ed.. this is called the rangers rumours not the mank mob rumours daviebhoy. everyone is allowed an opinion but please go back to the dark side. i would love to see cruz at the famous glasgow rangers. i think someone is running scared..hahahahah

So Ed - Rangers and Whyte are now to be feared because of a rumour on the Man City web page. Get a grip man.


{Ed010's Note -did you not see the question mark ?????????

in reply to this Mr Whyte has just proved hes not scared to splash the cash on wages, shown he is to be feared

Id live it if the gers pulled this off but my gut tells me its crap. i was rather fed up whit my club of late but good things come to those who wait. i hope ally was playing mind games but im not that fussed we are the people. fact

Well celtic ging for given and bellamy 90k each hah santa cruz is what 50k

It is in the press today that a lot of man city players are going to be left in the scrap heap after mancini picks his 25 so i think there is a good chance of any player coming to rangers as they would rather recoup some wages back instead of paying full wages for a reserve player just my opinion nothing is impossible.

Pissin in ma pants haha aye right cruz n wright phillips are on mega money n would walk into most teams in the epl lol .
as for celtic to the other muppet wee had never heard of kayal and izzaguire n look hw good they are .
daviebhoy08

This one for Daviebhoy you bun

When bellamy went to cardiff he was on 90k at city the agreement bten them was cardiff pay 21 and city pay the rest.... So whats to say they wont allow us to pay them btwn 20-25k per wk??

Your posts should not be published as your just a wee geeky nob celtic fan thats being nosey and going on your rivals site. go away

If we get them ill do any thing i mean any thing add me on facebook if this happens ... conor doak

Daviebhoy you spend mare a yer time on the Champions page than ye do yer own Runners Up page, ye a bit jealous a the champs so feel the need to stalk us .. GTF
Champions Again Ole Oleeeeeee

Pissin in ma pants haha aye right cruz n wright phillips are on mega money n would walk into most teams in the epl lol .

no they wouldnt santa cruz didnt score a goal last season and swp has lost pace which is all he had

Santa cruz is what 50k

think its closer to double that

Whitty and Greagsie have signed new 5 & 6 year deals

Dinnae believe this lark, no way those 2 will commit, they'll be offski for the preemier league man

Greegsy plays for the rangers but whittaker plays for the money. i have seen a different side to whitty. agents have got a lot to answer for..watp

Check out sky and BBC if ye "dinnae believe this timmy

Ok then, go on bbc sport. n gers website and ill find ur opinion is wrong

Rhysrfc

It says mcgregor is singed up but not Whitty

There is a picture from murray park on the rangers transfer updates Facebook page

Signings now confirmed on Rangers website

04 Jul 2011 13:47:34
This will be interesting, as fifa rule states that the maximum contract length is 5 years.

How can Fifa say what the maximum contract is at club level? You do know Fifa dont have a say in club teams

Fifa dont have a rule on this, and im also pretty sure the Fabregas signed a 6 year deal when he signed for Arsenal,

Very interesting indeed as McGregor has officially signed a new 6 year contract, see Rangers Fc official website, how silly do you feel now

Casillas signed a 6 year deal with real madrid last year so what your writing is utter garbage

Eh you'd be totally worng. FIFA do have a say in club football. they're the WORLD govering body not just international teams

Some one said cassilas signed a 9 year contract?

More idiots from the dark-side with no clue what they're on about... All together now Bears, He Dives To The Left, He Dives To The Riiiiggghhhtttt....

I can smell a tic fan

The i in fifa stand for what timmothy?

The 5 year rule is for youth players not 100% sure of the age bracket but its way under 29

The_Flying_Scot

That is utter bullsh#t player in other countries have 6 7 year deals so dont talk BS

FIFA do have a 6 year contract rule, but greegs only signed a 4 year extension which is legal He was contracted for 2 years already and agreed a further 4 year extension

But clearly the person who posted this is just a Celtic fan who isnt happy Check the rule book and the facts before posting your negative nonsense

04 Jul 2011 12:36:32
My cousin was working at the private hospital were Rangers send potential signings (and before anyone says Ross Hall- they don't use that anymore)
Anyway apparently Roque Santa Cruz was up having a medical and will sign on for a years loan
Personally i'll believe it when i see it but hope it happens

The same santa cruz that was playing for paraguy yesterday in the copa america ??
yet more bulls**t .
daviebhoy08

Santa cruz is on international duty right now he played last night at about midnight dont think he's in scotland

The same santa cruz that played for Paraguay last nite and is currently in Argentina

Willie

The other day McCoist stated that there would be "no marquee signings". Sant Cruz would fall in to that category and even on loan his wages are way out of our bracket.

Didn'y say when he was up Daviebhoy getting the medical ya fud
what's up getting scared?

Timothy on yaking a peek again I see, poor Dhims, why don't they focus on their own lot ? As for Sant Cruz ? dunno know Bears, money just been tied up in the Wittaker and greeg's deals me thinks.

Whats that I smell? Oh yeah its BULLs**t

Santa Cruz played for Paraguay in the Copa America last night, he must have caught a rocket to get back

Your cousin and you are total bullsh**ters, aye he drove all the way from argentina had a medical and naffed off back to play for paraquay

Aye good yin is that hospital in argentina where he is playing 4 paraguay in the copa america, , , , total lies

All u tossers need to give in with this ur all talking guff why would we take this guy on loan his wages are nearly 400k a month ok so give in ur obviously stoned out ur nut.

Exactly, 1 person says santa cruz and everyone thinks hes signing. He would rather sit on blackburns bench and collect his pay cheque

04 Jul 2011 10:28:54
Rangers once again linked with Orebro midfielder Alejandro Bedoya . . Todays Daily Mail ( bottom of story about offering Davis a new deal )

Dont sign him

Why not sign him he looked decent enough at the gold cup, we need to remember we dont play in a world class league players like bedoya would tear the SPL up

04 Jul 2011 09:36:22
Rangers have offered Steven Davis a five-year deal to stay at Ibrox. (The Mail)

04 Jul 2011 01:47:17
McGregor to sign new 6 year contract worth 26k a week

That wage will blow your budget. It's time to stop dreaming and start asking questions. You've made good money for years so why can't you buy players from other spl clubs? Please don't expect press to ask questions as their lapdogs. Rangers fans buy the most papers so they don't want to seem harsh on their readers but sometimes someone needs to ask why

This is nonsense mcgregor has asked for a meeting with whyte to sort out his future...if you are going to post crap...dont bother

Mgregors the biggest asset at our famous club her worth every penny.not sure what you comment actually meant mate or where your going with it.

Somebodys on drugs wae the above reply

Rangers fans buy the most papers? some proof of this would be welcome

What? "Rangers fans buy the most papers" lol. Who conducted this in depth study into the daily news buying habits of Scotlands football supporters? Was it you? Who came second in this poll? Celtic I suppose? given that they're so accomplished at finishing second. lol, what a load of p1sh....next bitter fud please

We can ejit, its just other spl teams are asking unrealistic amounts so why should we pay it?? Rangers will get the players in no worries, anyway ask yourself who of any great note have celtic signed? the championship winning team is still together so sit back son and smell 4 in a row.

If we cant offer 25k a week to our top players then we may as well close the door we should have a big enough budget to offer 4 or 5 top players that with the funds from the champions league how many players have celtic got on 20k or more and their debt has only went up a couple of million each half year report..

To the first guy who replied it's in the sun

Love the way people come on here a say 'nonsense' and criticize the post without doing any research, It is true.

This will be interesting, as fifa rule states that the maximum contract length is 5 years.

Iker Casillas signed a 9 year contract at Real Madrid in 2008 so you're wrong about FIFA rules.....

Everyone who posted this is lies must feel like right fa*n*s now lol

To the reply above
oh really well iker casillias signed a nine year contract extension with real in 2008

Once again must be gutted lol

Nope you can only sign a 5 year deal

It was me who posted this initially, would just like to say to all the know it all numpties who had there say in reply to the validity of it, how much of a plonker do yis look now

The maximum length as per fifa rules is only 5 years, any other length shall only be permitted if consistent with national law. Checked out on fifa website

Wtf he clearly did sign a new contract
