Id bite Spurs hand off at this. Parker is a good player but nothing spectacular. He is just standing out in a poor team. I like the guys Behrami and Kovac so they will cover Parker.

Some guy called Kris Boyd just scored for Boro....1-0 v Sheff Utd.

Unbelievable scoreline but Villa could have been in the game if they scored their pen and Youngs goal was allowed.

Newcastle lead Villa 1-0. Carew skied a pen well over the bar. Barton hit a 25 yard goal. Then Ashley Young was onside and put the ball away but linesman wrongly said offside.

Yip, they should get rid of Grant now and appoint MON while they have the chance. WH next games are Man U then Chelsea, relegation contenders already.

Wigan are awful and id say that reflects this scoreline as much as anything, especially when you consider Blackpool humped then 4-0 and they got hammered by Arsenal today. Chelsea couldnt have asked for a better fixture list in the first 3 weeks - Stoke, wigan and West Brom.

Those pics on other thread show him still in training. If he has a 1 week trial is he eligible for sunday?

He did come out and say we should judge things at the end of the transfer window when it seemed we werent active at all in the transfer market. In typical Rangers fashion when it seems nothing is going to surface and within the space of 1 week we have a much healthier looking group with 3 additions yet Barazite and Welcome could have been added aswell but probably would have been too much. No doubt WS will be asked in this weeks press conference if he is finished in the transfer market and it will be interesting to see if he says we are looking at 1 or 2 others which would probably be a vertasile defender or centre midfielder. I do think we are still 1 short. Last week we had Davis with flu, McCulloch suspended and Fleck injured - thats surely going to happen again this season. Although id have no worries about playing Bougherra centre mid. People can be judgemental about the way we do business and how poor our scouting is at time but we still normally deliver.

Or just the usual for lines 3 and 4 Vladi Weiss the super Slovo He said no to the Provo's He no thanks You're a bunch of wanks Walking in a Vladi wonderland.

Throw in the Scottish Cup and thats mine. Id accept 3rd in the CL group - depending on who we have, but last place should be a no no. i hope we go out and express ourselves in the CL this season especially at home.

That along with the negativity on the signings Im beginning to think Dundee Utd were right in charging him 12 quid for the rearranged fixture last year :fish:

Good luck to Dundee Utd. Cant see them going through over 2 games but Tannadice might have a good atmosphere which would be an 12th man for Utd. However AEK are a good side. Hope Motherwell go through also. Would chuckle to see Utrecht win....is their any cups left for Celtic to drop into after this one? Johnstones Paint trophy maybe??? Only consolations of celtic going through would be a seedings boost for the SPL and if they had no European campaign they would be able to fully concentrate on the league...so either way for me. Villa, Liverpool and Man City should all go through.

I read he is a right winger....left midfield problem is sorted then!

Didnt McGregor just sign a new contact??

Or he signs and is croked in his first 5 mins of training during a 50/50 with Weiss putting them both out for the season.......oh no Rozental and Prodan still have ghosts on the training pitch!

Miller and Jelavic for me also although Id be happy to see a front 3 with Lafferty added also. Will be very interesting to see the formation. Although isnt Ally a fan of 4-4-2 (we seemed to always play that in cups games he was in charge off). It could be he has a strong influence on the formation as he inherits this squad next summer.

Harsh overall post. quite frankly as long as we win the league I dont care. Singling out Weiss like that isnt fair either. Man City have got something like 40 players battling to get in the squad and arguably their best last season Bellamy cant get in either.

Added to opening post

Would certainly complete the defence. Throw in a solid centre midfielder and that 10/11 odds for title No.54 is very tasty!

They are dreaming. David James Sol Campbell Jimmy Bullard Craig Bellamy Robbie Keane - manager Martin O neill. But all they got was Charlie Mulgrew and a host of players Ive never heard of. :fish:

Assuming Jelavic and Weiss sign on the dotted line: Jelavic - WS been chasing him since the World Cup ended. Looks a find and will probably be a starter. Weiss - Impressive at the WC. Provides much needed creativity and width. Beattie - Poacher but has to win a lot of fans over that he isnt past it. Webster - returning from a successful loan spell where he was one of the best defenders in the SPL for Dundee Utd. v Novo - Was Rangers through and through but never guarenteed a start. Big match player. He's the one Im most gutted about losing but if Weiss and Jelavic perform he wont be overly missed! Boyd - split the fans down the middle. Slow? Lazy? poor ball control? Overweight? Never did it against bigger teams / rarely picked against bigger teams? But a insanely good scoring record! Thomson - Hot and cold, was decent when he took the games by scrub of the next but didnt do it near often enough. Smith - Injury practically ended his career a few years back. Was nothing more of a squad player. Beasley - spent more time on the treatment table than in the team. Wilson - One season wonder yet didnt play in most games. Was mentored by Weir IMO and may struggle at Liverpool. Overall our squad is down in numbers by 3 but we have 3 players who will look to get into the first team on a weekly basis while 3 or 4 of those who left werent guarenteed a game on a weekly basis. Sometimes less is more.

Havent read the article but surely part of the 4 million relates to add ons?? But FINALLY WS has got his man. Adding Weiss to this then we are looking a lot better. 2 really good signings IMO.

Yes amen to that along with Whittaker as a wide midfielder. It has ruined Naismith and Lafferty careers so far at Ibrox. Id still keep Lafferty, its going to be a long season and Miller wont play 45 games in 4 competitions. Lafferty could be the good option upfront on his own if we go 4-5-1 in CL. But Weiss and jelavic give us a lot more options. But I still think we are light in the centre of midfield. We could possibly be done with a full back but we do have options of swapping players about with Broadfoot, Whittaker and Bougherra being able to play RB and Papac and Whittaker at LB.

I hope its us also. Celtic have signed a few defenders so not sure if it would be them. Yobo and Bougherra together would be very very solid.
