    Looks like St. Etienne don't want to sell Bocanegra either, says STV. You do wonder who whips up these rumours? Timothy on a Operation Tango trail?

    Of course, we still have Lafferty, Healy, Beattie, and Hemmings on our books. Don't know what the story is with BEattie, but you wonder why we do not play Healy more often in a 4-4-2 line-up. Then again, there were not that many opportunities to do that just yet. No word about Rhys Murphy and Lopez so far, I gather?

    IMHO, all we need is some pacey centre half. Haven't seen the pace of Perry, nor do I remember Wilson. I do know that Benalouane has got some. As well as experience with technically gifted strikers in France and Italy. He'd be my first choice. Tom Miller's co-commentator mentioned that Perry suffered some difficult injury to one of his legs and could not really use it for a longer spell. Hence it lacked muscle and they initially feared he'd done it again in that tackle on Saturday.

    Oh these exciting hours before a deadline ...

    First come, first serve. We made our interest known and asked whether he was available and at what price. Nothing more, nothing less. No-one knew that it would drag on and I assume our docs only got his medical status once we were allowed to talk to him.

    Yep, Benalouane might be that option* - if we were actually interested. As for the article, another one of the "spread panic" variety. Nothing is known about Bartley's injury, but they make it a crisis. Weir was AFIAK ready for yesterday, but we were covered and so he got more time to recover. Whittaker I did not miss, Papac would always be a good option to have. Who knows what will transpire over the next few days. *We do need one central defender with a bit of pace.

    @ GovanAllan ... try to use the Edit Reply option. No need to "reply" thrice to the same post ;-) Regarding Bedoya. No-one said the Swedes lied. We have had so many conflicting reports, not least during these last few days, that one is bound to suspect that wrong information is being relayed, and probably on purpose. As GA rightly pointed out though, there seems to be a culture of "blaming Rangers first" on the rise, no matter the circumstances at hand. IMHO, this needs to stop ere it grows roots. I have no doubt whatsoever that we try our best (as in BEST) to get new players. Not always with the hoped-for results, but that is football transfers to you. It is not all about Rangers. Regarding that Feyenoord winger, Ally apparently denied any interest in a Sunday paper (acc. to FF).

    IMHO just a new "paint us bad" story. I simply will not believe that we bid less than the 400k we offered before - whatever the Swedes are saying.
  9. der Berliner
    Methinks it is not the 850 per week (which rises to 4k if he plays) is the problem, but the 5-years involved. You would not want to play on the same conditions as a "18-year old first team pretender" at the age of 23 (Whittaker, Thomson, Davis, Edu, Lafferty et al are not much older, you know). Hardly anyone knows the details here and as long as he has a contract, we hold all the cards. If we get Bedoya and McKay in, possibly someone else too, we may speak again.

    Just out of interest, have any figures come out about arrests or even "offences" against this new unwritten law after the recent IRA-okes by our hooped neighbours? The real point remains that unless there is no "fixed" list of songs that can be aired without problem, it will be at the whim of the police and their match day commander to judge something inapproriate.
  11. der Berliner
    Bedoya is signed up for January nonetheless. McKay has essentially signed, work permit permitting. The Wilson thing is on the agenda since an eternity. I wonder why no other EPL team want to snatch him up ...
  12. der Berliner
    Regarding Juhasz it is up to you whom to believe. SSN say we gave up on him, yet the Evening Times has a different tune. Still some water to run down the Clyde till we will have heard the last of this ...
  13. der Berliner
    Well, I read the bit of news in the local press and it says McCoist "might be interested". My initial response was, McCoist also might be interested in Fabregas, or Nasri, Rooney and Nani. We already have two 30+ strikers on our books, both I deem to be more lethal in front of goal than L�¶venkrands. ANyways, we'll have Lopez and Rhys Murphy on trial over the weekend, maybe something comes out of that.
  14. der Berliner
    So what did the Rangers do in the past to anger the Italian ... ? (Heck, we agreed not to babble along in this transfer rumour thread!)
  15. der Berliner
    ... yet we've had essentially at the same time up to 3m set aside for Juhasz, 2m for Cuellar, 2m+ for Goodwillie, and nearly 2m for Verhoek, on top of the above. We also resigned our backbone of 3IAR. Maybe people will think this is all shadow talk and shadow money, but I for one have no reason to doubt our chairman just yet.
  16. der Berliner
    You wonder with all those people at ManC, what they would want for Weiss as a straight buy. 7 first choice people plus Nasri out of my head alone.
  17. der Berliner
    IMHO, Wallace is a first pick. As you can see from down south, the market starts to revolve more rapidly these days. As for Bedoya ... we've got Ortiz for that flank, so why the bother? Ortiz and Bedoya would be a fine right hand side IMHO, if we play Ortiz there, that is. I for one wouldn't be disappointed if we do not play over the odds for Bedoya, especially if you see what Orebr�¶ want. L�¶venkrands ... local rumour that grows arms and legs. It's as good as the wishes you find on e.g. FF. I start to worry or jump in joy if someone gets through the Murray Park gates ...
  18. der Berliner
    Hm ... Kerkar is a left winger. Ortiz played as a left winger. Lafferty has been used there. Naismith has been used there. Wallace can be used there ... I do think they mistook left with right here.
  19. der Berliner
    There better be no details, else the confidentiality of those involved needs to be questioned. How do they come up with the penalty, I wonder? Must be some interesting interest involved ...
  20. der Berliner
    Lot's of international action. I do hope that we get the McKay deal done soonish now. The rumour front remains quite though, bar the odd repeat of Edu being targetted by Auxerre.
  21. der Berliner
    With this leaked info, can't we send our lawyers out and harrass them for this ... and demand, say 2.7m in compensation? No really, what would any other company do if somesuch happens and see customers staying away, business partners look elsewhere and what have you?
  22. der Berliner
    While I do also have the habbit of posting a few things aside from and in reply to rumours, let's try and keep this thread on topic and post the rumours in here ... while debating them elsewhere. Cheers!
  23. der Berliner
    Any updates on this deal then?
  24. der Berliner
    I would assume there's one pretty unhappy bunny down there in Anderlecht. First, his club renegged on what you would call a gentlemen's agreement, now Rangers supposedly switch targets.
  25. der Berliner
    If only the papers wouldn't splash such silly and more often than not misleading headlines. Attention seeking at its finest and a sure way to get people (i.e. Rangers supporters) up in arms ... with essentially no real reason whatsoever. Whyte should ban them all for a while.
