Transfer Ins and Outs - Summer 2009


Recommended Posts

WEST BROM are trailing Rangers midfielder Barry Ferguson as new head coach Roberto Di Matteo sets about strengthening the squad he inherited at The Hawthorns.

 

Former Scottish international Fergie, 31, was on Albion's hit-list beforeMatteo arrived.

 

Any move was put on hold when Celtic made their move to lure the then Albion manager Tony Mowbray north. Ferguson, right, has been told he can leave Ibrox and Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is also

 

weighing up a bid. Di Matteo is already poised to seal his first deal with Swindon Town striker Simon Cox due at the club tomorrow to finalise a �£2m move.

 

Meanwhile, Burnley boss boss Owen Coyle is also looking to Ibrox as he lines up a swoop for Gers striker Kris Boyd.

 

Coyle plans to test Rangers' resolve by making an offer of �£3m for last season's 31-goal hitman, who also interested McLeish in last season's January transfer window.

 

Rangers were keen to sell in January, but Boyd dug his heels in over terms at that time.

 

Increased financial pressure on the club could see them ready to accept a �£3.5m offer.

 

A bigger problem could be personal terms to suit Boyd after Coyle revealed recently that a rigid pay ceiling is in place at Turf Moor.

Goalkeeper Graeme Smith has left to join St Johnstone.

 

Any fee involved?

 

Bit of a waste of a signing tbh. If we're looking to trim the squad and wage bill the third choice keeper shoudl come from the youths. I know it may be a risk, but the chances of having to use the 3rd choice keeper is extremely rare.
