BTW ... I for one wouldn't be surprised if a ManU or someone happens by with a 8m bid for Jelavic these next few days.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Jelavic was to move on now, Hope to God I am wrong but can see him going

I don't think Man Utd will be his destination though unless they get rid of Berbatov first.

To be quite honest I don't think he's good enough for Man Utd. He lacks pace and pace in the English top flight is what you need. With Rooney, Hernandez, Wellbeck and Berbatov they wont be looking for a striker.

Le Fondre has signed for Reading.

 

I know he was never a target of ours but his name was mentioned on here.

 

Danny will be disappointed. ;)

 

We need another striker and after going out of Europe he'd have been a good option at a cheap price, but hey ho. I thought Griffiths would be a good loan option as well, but he's signed for Hibs now, so that's two cheap, but potentially great goal scoring options off the market within one day as the closure of the window looms.....

BLACKBURN ROVERS are poised to test Rangers’ resolve with a last-minute bid for Steven Davis.

 

The midfield man only signed a new contract a few weeks ago.

 

But with no European cash to boost the Ibrox coffers after their midweek exit from the Europa League, there is a fear the club could be tempted by big-money offers before the transfer window closes on Wednesday night.

 

Rovers’ boss Steve Kean – who has already swooped for David Goodwillie from Dundee United – is an admirer of Davis and is desperate to boost his squad.

 

Rangers manager Ally McCoist admitted in the wake of the defeat by Maribor that he can’t guarantee he will hold on to his star players this week – and even Allan McGregor and Nikica Jelavic have been mentioned as possible targets from down south.

 

But it’s understood Davies is the prime target with Blackburn, Bolton and a Championship club monitoring the situation.

If McGregor, who also signed a new deal recently, Davis or Jelavic disappeared over the horizon in midweek and no one else is signed it would be a massive blow to McCoist and the club’s fans who are already teetering on the brink of revolt.

 

Gregg Wylde, who signed a new deal last week, has pleaded for fans to give McCoist time to get it right.

 

“He’s why I signed again,” said Wylde. “If everyone gives him time he’ll do really well.”

 

The 20-year-old knows the knives are out in some quarters after the Gers humiliating exit from all European football but he went on: “Ally’s a great manager to work with.

 

“The players love him and he knows his stuff.

 

“He has changed a wee bit since he took over although on the training field he’ll still have a laugh.

 

“But when the games come along he’s very strict and that’s what managers are meant to be like.”

 

McCoist believes last season’s SPL title triumph cost Rangers their place in Europe this time around.

 

The Ibrox boss knows his club’s fans aren’t currently in the market for excuses, but just as the 2008 UEFA Cup run left the Gers sluggish at the start of the following term he believes the effort of grabbing the championship from Celtic has had a hangover effect this time.

 

Then it was Kaunas who in inflicted misery, this time it was Maribor who heaped humiliation on the Scottish champions.

 

“It’s probably similar in the sense that Kaunas were also a team, like Maribor, we should have knocked out,” admitted McCoist.

 

“The lads who lost in Kaunas probably suffered from what had happened the season with that UEFA Cup run to the final.

 

“I can remember looking at that squad at the time and I hate to say that I thought they didn’t look 100 per cent, because punters would think I was talking rubbish.

 

“But the players didn’t have the zip or zest they had shown the previous season.

 

“This time the effort the lads put in over the final 10 games of last season was magnificent and do I think that’s affected them at the start of this season.

 

“I would have liked to have given them a far longer break and let them get away from it all but the fixtures dictated that couldn’t happen.

 

“Last time, though, we got Pedro Mendes and Steven Davis in and we went on to do well and while we won’t get a Pedro and Steven to give us a lift this time we’ll have Alejandro Bedoya and Matt McKay plus one or two others who will effectively be new players because they haven’t played for us in Europe.

 

“You would hope they would give us a boost.”
