Went into a football shop last week in Tokyo....Once again I saw a Celtic shirt in another asian country but no Rangers top. If we cant even get our tops sold in JJB stores in UK then what hope do we have overseas where the market is huge!!!

Ferguson has had 2 awful seasons and I dont think he will get his form back on a consistant basis due to the fact he is on the spiral downwards. If someone was to say we could keep him as a squad player and play him sparingly (which is what should have been done all last season and before) then that wouldnt be a bad shout but then again I wonder if his off field attitude affects the team aswell. Would much prefer us to get a nice fee for him. 1.5M would do nicely. As Jon said, Sunderland want Davis for 5M. Now thats a tough one to ponder over. A talented 23 year old who could play a big part for RFC in the next 5 years!!! Id prefer him to stay, he would be way down my list of players to sell. But if we got 2 good players in with that fee then you have to consider it. EDIT - If we could do a swap for Kieron Richardson that wouldnt be a bad shout, we have needed a natural Right winger for a while now.

I cant see Man City going like Leeds or Newcastle Gav, they have the financial backing like Chelsea, its all about how they manage it. If the owners pull out with a huge debt above them then they would be worse than Leeds. But i agree seeing teams trying to buy their way to the top overnight makes me look forward to the fall. But then again if Hughes has all this cash of course he is going to spend. But I look at West Ham. 2 years ago the Icelandics came in when they were flush and bought a number of players. I compare that to what Zola and Clarke and 'building' now and much prefer the latter. Zola is putting a long term plan into place which brings stability.

Id still not boo him or give him abuse. But im always prepared for a Boyd debate Buffel is a wasted talent. If Boyd could give half the effort Sebo did then he would be a bit of a player. Id always have a headless chicken in my team over a statue

Naive in your opinion only. Id rather remain open minded and let an untried player show us what he has got then judge once we have seen for ourselves. Yet after only getting minutes on the park with a Gers jersey we dont know what Aaron could have done. He showed a bit of promise in his debut then we didnt see him again until an away cup match at Forfar when again he played well. He seems to have done ok for the Spanish young side so far. He wasnt ready for Valencia doesnt mean he isnt ready for the SPL. The 2 leagues are miles apart with Valencia being contenders for La Liga most seasons. WS sets his teams out to not lose rather than go and win and to see the likes of McCulloch being played ahead of a hungry youngster is poor for me. As i mentioned on another thread today, there was a bit too much hype put on Fleck, then he was being played out of position which can ruin a player before his career starts. He is not a left winger. But i do admire Fleck for filling in on the left and doing a decent job. I believe professional footballers should be able to fill in on most positions on occasion when they are being paid to do such job.

True, but regardless of how poor his is id still not boo him and give him abuse while he is on the park.

Stevie Lennon was one of the youngsters I thought could have a decent future. Anyone know whats the status with him? He went on loan last season to Partick was it? There is one thing in giving youngsters a try but there is another playing them in their natural positions. If not you can ruin them before their career has started. We know that our support can easily get on players backs. We've seen it with Adam, Mo Ross, McCulloch, to name a few...even going back to when Craig Moore played midfield under Smith in the 90s. Fleck played his games last season as a left winger and everyone expected him to produce miracles yet his first OF game he left the pitch after barely touching the ball. Smith had an imbalance last season as we started the season with 9 strikers before Darcheville and Cousin left. The likes of Fleck suffered due to that.

Scott Booth is out of a job so he could take over??? But i hope Chick returns. Have to say, I like the chap.

Your calling quite a few posters on here naive then as many of them said he would have a huge impact. So why sign him in the first place? Where you insulted when he signed? We did the same with Martin and Bardsley from Man U but they got games, so in respect if any of Europes elite (Valencia are up there for me - or they were 2 years ago) want to send their talented younger players to Ibrox to get first team experience I'll gladly take them in this day in age where we cant afford too many transfer fees.

He would be a bit of risky signing as we dont know if he will advance to the level needed at Rangers. A player can have potential but after a year or 2 this runs out and he has to start cutting the mustard, i.e. no long er just be a promising player. He has shown he has the potential, now its time to see if he has it for RFC or not. Personally id like to see him sign on, i think he could be a valuable squad player. But he has a decent argument that it is tough to get a fair crack of the whip at a club like Rangers. You either hit the ground running or you dont. Young Aaron came on the scene and everyone rant and raved about him...i posted on here that i bet we dont see a sniff of him and a few shot me down - we saw him get a total of about 97 minutes. We dont want Furman to be a Namouchi. Namouchi had quite a bit of talent but dont show it in his latter games. Although there is the rumour that he was uncomfortable playing with Ferguson after BF ranted him during a match.

Time for the SPL to start their own broadcasting channel as per what Pete mentioned. @ Dundee Utd also for not accepting the Sky deal last time round. I cant see too many bidders for the SPL. Perhaps the OF should get round a table and work out whats best for them i.e. push an Atlantic league.

Absolute imposter of a player now. We talk about players losing a yard of pace, he has lost at least 3 yards of pace which he relied on for his game. If i was a Newcastle fan id be booting his ass out of the city faster than anything else. 110k a week for 4 years and he did absolutely nothing. It just shows how bad he is when the only team to make public interest is Hull.

Keep him at porkheid. He is average and no threat to us at all on the pitch

Have you tallied up the total of miles you have done since starting? See if you can reach 8500 miles and as the plane flys you would have taken a path to me.

We had this as an april fool. It was either Dailly or McCulloch we joked about. No way will Dailly be offered a contract next season with the cuts we are taking. The guy is fit enough and I think can do a job at centre half for someone but he would only be a sub with us so he will move on.

A pile of yellow shite aswell. Umbro are rank at making kits nowadays. My West Ham one of 2 seasons ago was nice but still a tight fit round the shoulders. We need to bring back adidas ASAP.

Shite, i forgot McAllister was at Leeds. Thats a tough league to get out of though. Lambert and McAllister would be decent coaches and assistant managers. They were quality players and have something to offer but they dont cut it as No.1s

I was kinda hoping they would get relegated due to such irritation

Sanchez would be a bit of a coup for the league, he has a decent character. He did brilliant with NI but poor with Fulham though. Would like to see Gary McAllister getting a job somewhere as he has been rumoured with a few roles but hasnt taken any job, id like to see how he does. Can see Lambert being in with a shout aswell.

Has anyone got a picture of it? Normally its out either before the Scottish Cup final or just as soon as the season ends.

I didnt think he would stay at Man U. It would have been tied up a long time ago if he did. I think Sir Awex likes him but doesnt see him as a 25 million pound player. Although he is much better the Berbatov. Can see him going to Man City. - They have just signed Santa Cruz from Blackburn. So Tevez, Bellamy and Santa Cruz is a good forward line with Robinho behind them. Not sure if Tevez is the type of player Arsenal would have due to his style of play. He is a battler that Arsenal need but Arsenal need a battler in the midfield more. Arsenal just signed some Belgian defender from Ajax for 10 million. EDIT - Maybe get a thread for EPL transfers IN / OUTS.

Pompey away would be a great day out in the sun. We'd just have to out sing there pain in the ass fans with that drums song "play up pompey"

The SPL should have done the same. The gulf in the cash is massive and the EPL will get someone else no problem for the matches, but the SPL should have shown some pride and dignity and told setanta to eff off also.

A nonsense for me. The usual 'system' wins again. Its merely a suggestion and question. The key word in the song is 'why'. When its sung those singing say 'why dont you go home' - thats a question...its not a statement saying they should go home. And anyway the match in question was against Kilmarnock...since when did killie have Irish background? so the argument doesnt stick...the judges are making the assumption that it was being directed towards Celtic fans (even though it is). Im not in favour of the song as i prefer to hear songs only related to Rangers FC but its a matter of right and wrong here.

The sheep wont like that as he is a former Gers player
