No but by the same token would you go easy on SDM if we had successfully competed with C****c? I think we all are aiming much higher than that.
-
Two weeks ago we had only Thomson! How can you have too many good players? I actually can't wait for Barry to come back - imagine a midfield 3 of Mendes, Fergie and Thomson with Davis and Edu as back-ups! No more McCullochs or underperforming Adams. Like most of you I don't like Davis wide right, but I will think he will cover for BF's absence or come in if Mendes is not available.
-
Great stuff - do we really need Bresciano now, especially as I hear Davis is finally coming for 3 mill.?

Take a look at the Hertz website if you want 'fawning falseness' (love that phrase)!
-
Think you're right there, but if you check out the website of "Vanguard" there's a leading article which is nothing less than a diatribe v. SDM blaming him for everything. Now fair criticism when it's due but you cannot blame Murray for Sky pumping loadsamoney into the EPL and Championship;we've been left uncompetitive because we haven't been on a level playing field for some year, nothing to do with Murray's incompetence or otherwise. Big investors just don't see us as a money-making machine. And anyway do you really fancy a Thai criminal a la Man city, Di Stefano (remember Dundee?) - I could go on.. Reason I mention this is because Vanguard are said to be behind Reclaim Rangers.
-
Yeh, you're right re Shittu. We do need a CB now, though, even if Webster stays. Feels funny saying that after we've all been screaming for Mf players!
-
Wouldn't be too unhappy to miss out on Davis especially after what Hodgson said about us not coughing up the 4 mill. Cheeky sod! We don't get the tv money that lets his diddy club buy Johnson for 12 mill. as I'm sure he knows.
-
Craig - you forgot Fleck, who is a sort of midfielder. You summarised it succinctly but I think it will be easier to integrate Fleck and Furman when we are playing well, though personally I would blood them in the diddy cups. A week is a long time in football!
-
Intriguing. I certainly think I would rather trust SDM than some Thai/Russian/Romanov-type who I don't know. I actually believe him when he says he won't sell unless it's in the club's best interests. BUT - I cannot belive when he says that the Manchester events got in the way of a potential buyer. More to do with the fact that we are not likely to get into the EPL. That's why I think we need to move heaven and earth to form a new Euro League as a rival to England, Spain and Italy.
-
Nope - because if we really wanted him, we could have got him for nothing next year at end of his contract.
-
If he's on loan, do we not have the right to recall him at any time? They could do us a favour by getting him match fit. Only thing is with missing out on Loovens we need another CB. Hope we don't resurrect our interest in Shittu after the way he messed us about.
-
Wonder if he has an esclapez clause in his contract?
-
Anyone got any info. on this newly-formed pressure group? Is it a bunch of cranks or the real thing? Is it even feasible?
-
Sorry mate. Freudian slip knowing Walter!
-
Check out the official website. We've signed a 29 year old Spaniard on loan. A "creative attacking midfielder."
-
Is it McArthur or McCarthy? Confusing but both are good. BTW that right back Stevenson might do Gers a turn - we need a free kick specialist as well.
-
Well, I'm stone cold sober, 300 miles away from you and you've just brought a tear to my eye.
-
When you say 'quality' player, is he the type we need i.e. right-sided, creative - or is he a defensive mf?
-
[GRIBZ I think it really is the time for Rangers and Celtic to make a move and push for an Atlantic league with the Dutch, Belgians and maybe Danish leagues. I've always been in favour of this. SDM hung his hat on the EPL a long time ago but it's now dead in the water. Just today a Standard Liege player was opining about how unfair it is that they have to qualify while the likes of England get 4 reps. Standard Liege used to be one of the biggest clubs in Europe. So it's not just Rangers. There are a lot of unhappy Euro clubs in the same boat- names like Ajax, Benfica and Galatasaray. A Euro league IMO could work alongside domestic leagues and generate huge sponsorship and tv revenues.
-
Don't know what inside knowledge you have , but if true, yes a disgrace. But - did you read what Novo said? He says that Carlos told him he wanted to leave despite being offered a salary hike. No reason to disbelieve the wee man.
-
Really good, cool-headed objective analysis Frankie. All those eligible for the AGM should certainly make themselves heard and ensure it is not stage-managed. I can understand and even accept the downsizing, given the, as you say, market we now operate in, but find it much less acceptable to put up with the lack of clarity we've seen recently. For example, it was unforgivable to tell the RSA reps last Friday we had no plans to sell Cuellar when SDM must have been aware of the release clause. We knew he'd go - but hoped he would stay for at least a season. Novo has said it was Cuellar's decision - did he really drop the bombshell on Sunday? And if that wasn't the case, what was the truth about him not being cup-tied? A little bit of honesty is not asking too much. Long-term you make cogent points about the scouting and future strategy. We must have an end to the days of RFC being seen as an elephant's graveyard, or a stepping-stone for EPL wannabees.
-
I can't see that's he's a player they really need or want - it would just be for spite, to rub our noses in it. And they can do that because they offer Champions League football.

Cuellar Fee Agreed with Villa - �£8million
alexscottislegend replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
We have been lied to by somebody, whether it was Walter saying it came as a surprise to him or Cuellar himself saying he wanted to stay and was happy (on more than one occasion). And what about this release clause - we were led to believe it was �£10 m. This seems like a Hutton scenario again - he wanted to stay but was pushed by Bain or SDM. Any road up, it's time we were treated as grown-ups by the club - how can we believe anything now? -
You've got to ask yourself - if big Bundesliga clubs rate him, then why can't we fit him in to our systems? He can't be that bad a player. I'd much rather Cousin went (because of his attitude not his ability) or Darcheville who's always going to struggle for fitness.
