Stefanovitch 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'd imagine Bougherra will move for what should be a decent fee. As such, I'd expect us to replace him with that money while retaining Weir and Wilson. Tonel of Sporting would be my bet but Smith may fancy someone a bit more physical. Webster has done well at Utd but apparently doesn't get on well with Smith so his Rangers career may end sooner rather than later. I'd also hope, given his SPL form and Scotland recall, we can get over �£1million for him from a Championship club. As such Tonel plus another player is not beyond the realms of possibility. You've mentioned Tonel quite a few times now Frankie. I appreciate he was a target when we had funds but if Walter doesn't stay on isn't it more likely a new manager will identify his own targets? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,529 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yeah, I meant if Smith stays Tonel would be likely but a new manager may have his own ideas in that regard - depending on scouting information (i.e. if Chester also leaves again). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Preston Burke 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Not keen on Tonel myself. He's 30 years old and although that's hardly old for a defender (as Davie Weir proves) he'd have absolutely no sell on value. We should be looking for another Cuellar or Bougherra. I would've liked us to go for Goncalves of Hearts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've liked us to go for Goncalves of Hearts. Goncalves is a good player and versatile as well. However, if we are to lose Bougherra I would prefer a more commanding centre half than Tonel. Is Goncalves available on a bosman or has he agreed terms elsewhere? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffries claims Hearts have made him a "fantastic" offer, which could well be out of our range, more fool them if they're paying players over 10k or whatever "fantastic" means these days 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,529 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Goncalves is OK but I'd hope with circa �£5-7million for Bougherra, we'd be capable of a bit better... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Does Goncalves play CB for Hearts now? Thought he was signed as a FB? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,670 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Does Goncalves play CB for Hearts now? Thought he was signed as a FB? He was definitely signed as a left back. Personally I don't think Concalves is good enough for The Rangers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I would prefer a player who is the age of 25/26 if we are looking to invest. Tonel is too old now for me, little return. Shittu is well as his name suggests, shit. So another of Walters surprises, please. However I do remember Cuellar playing well with Osasuna after they knocked us out of the Uefa cup iirc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Goncalves is OK but I'd hope with circa �£5-7million for Bougherra, we'd be capable of a bit better... Doubt we'll get more than 4. Unless we have new owners of course. In which case the value of all our assets goes up significantly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
