Rangers goodwillie interest cools

BBC are anti rangers Don't listen to them


{Ed010's Note -I read the article on the BBC website and is flawed in it's wording. I quote a paragraph from that article..."Cardiff City are favourites to land Scotland's young player of the year and appear willing to meet the £2m asking price set by chairman Stephen Thompson".
This seems quite clear and unequivocal, except it isn't as clear cut as it may first seem.

Let me now quote an article from a Welsh newspaper, "A down-payment of £1m in cash is the key, plus instalments to make up the rest of the million related to appearances and international caps".

That article puts a completely different slant on this whole transfer episode. Cardiff, like Rangers, are not offering £2m in cash. Cardiff are only prepared to pay £1m up front and the rest as "add ons", whereas Rangers bids were possibly cash only.

I would suggest that this information suggests that Craig Whyte isn't as naive as some are suggesting but prudent with his cash. Any views ?

Good spot there, Ed. Reckon (hope) its a tactic White is using, as he has heard Goodwillie is keen to join us and seeks to fuel speculation of him handing in a transfer request. I reckon with a bit of pressure, Dundee might buckle and reduce their demands

Yet again we need to say, David Goodwillie will decide where David Goodwillie is going to be playing next season. If a certain paranoid scottish team offered £5M and 30G a week, would he go? Dont think so. Need to wait for the court case I think

Good... He is not worth it

:D not worth it when you dont sign someone absoulute bargin when you do :D :D

Santa cruz to rangers by thursday weve had talks already with him no joke wait and see

I hope ur rite, but going by whytes transfer policy so far I very much doubt it

Ive heard this rumour to buddy hope its right be amazing wi big jela up top

Rubbish.....Miko

I hope so to just the wage demand that makes me be doubt it be a great signing though

I have it on a good source that this deal will happen as i posted couple days ago

U no mean santa clause. if we cant afford goodwillie i cant see us affording an epl star

We can afford Goodwillie we just wont pay 2mil fer a player that may go to prison.

No chance whatsoever.

Hope so he s class

Santa cruz is at the copa america so somehow i doubt this will happen

Been alot of talk of Santa Cruz coming to Rangers. I doubt it, but would be a great signing

Man city will loan bellamy given swp cruz etc only of fail to sell same as man u with brown and evans etc so u never know

Absolutely no chance of this happening. For a start he is at the Copa America just now, not to mention his wages are huge (70k+), which we won't be able to come close to, and even if we could we wouldn't risk that much on a player who has struggled with injury the past 2 seasons.

People need to be realistic here, I don't understand why the Ed's approve half these posts as they're clearly rubbish.


{Ed010's Note -my friend, the website was created in part, for football fans to contribute rumours, that they may have heard or read. I do concede that some of the subjects, of some of the contributions, may seem unrealistic to some. The point is that these contributions do create debate and banter, something that you have done with this reply.

While it is an impossibility for me to check the wage structure, contract details or transfer values, of each and every player mentioned, I will delete posts that are beyond the realms of possibility, or as you say, "unrealistic", if I have enough knowledge myself, to absolutely confirm it as such.

In any event, the website was created to allow football fans to contribute rumours, opinions and views and then for people like you and I to respond to those items, with our own opinions and views.

One of the best messages that I ever received, was a message of support but where the author stated, that he/she would invite their mates round, have a few beers and then have a laugh as they read through all the published contributions. This light hearted approach, totally encapsulates the idea, behind the "Football Rumours and Banter" family.

If Enything it will be his younger brothers who is also at Blackbrun

Sober up big chap

Heard from a reliable contact mcgregor leaving for 6 million and rangers to continue to battle out negotiations with dundee utd and hearts also heard rangers have offered Bernard lama France keeper a trial haha. Use lot are in big trouble

I don't think ur daddy is a reliable source. Also we are not the team who is up 2 their necks in debt so i think ur "team" r the ones in trouble. Go bk 2 the runners up rumour page u idiot.

Cant be that much in trouble we've still got the team that won the league for the THIRD time in a row last year, im thinkn the manky mob are worried

Bernard Lama's 48 and been re-tired for about 10 years ya clown.Anyway we could still play me in goals next year and make it 4-in-a-row.Why don't you go home to your own site.WATP

I dont think we are in a lot of trouble, celtic got beat 1-0 off Central Coast Mariners

Omg celtic are in trouble because we lost the first pre season game with half of our strongest team on bench or not in squad- hooper, stokes, izziguire, majstorivic, commons. we played with youngster richie towell and murphy (never a striker) up front.


{Ed010's Note - I agree my friend, losing in warm up matches is no great concern but in my opinion, losing because of bad management is. Why would Neil Lennon not play his strongest available side. On any "tour", it is normal practice for managers to set down a marker for the rest of the tour and they do this by selecting their strongest eleven. It makes absolutely no sense to do what Neil Lennon has done, especially with the season starting in only 3 weeks or was it another case of him not giving the opposition the respect they are due.

Well said ma granny cld play in goals n still get 4 in a row celtic r never cheated alwayz DEFEATED watp

Celtic dont have a best team they're all p***

No it wasnt lennons fault the australian refs are conspiring against celtic.

Sad looser, they hope greegsy goes as all there past keepers couldn, t keep weans out a clos

There are no negotiations what are you slavering about?

Bernard lama got player of the season in ligue 2 lst year and lyon and psg are looking at him a dont think were in trouble

Mate we are hardly up to our necks in debt and unlike you our major share holder is actually a billionaire (or very close) unlike mr whyte the conman. wheres your 12million warchest then gers, we have signed 2 bosmans and a 20 year old kenyan for 1 million without anyone leaving so far and still spending. You have a new owner and 4 players (loans) have left you but you still havent managed to sign anyone new lol.

Izzaguire kayal hooper etc. will do nothign nextyear and be sold for very little izzaguie cannot defend goood attackin but lafferty made him look amatuer murphy never a striker ? best strker u have haha

Why are we in trouble you fool ? we are the champions 3 in a row with nae doe and here we go 4 in a row . worry bout the runners up hahahahahahaha

This i believe is nonsense. His missus is up the duff and is wanting to stay near her family at least until the wee barra is a bit older. IF she were not up the duff i recckon he might well have asked for a moveo

Please not paranoia already, also these guys talk as if the dark side are the ones who have won 3IAR,

Ha HA I laughed like a Hyena when I heard the news, this was after the Neil Diamond gig I attended @ Hampden ( awsome ) Got up read the paper and laughed my arse off, F'CK them, and Lemon and I cannae wait for them to fail fail to qualify for Europe again, their very own 3 in a row hahahahahahahaha WATP

Ha ha... I take you're implying Celtic are 'up to their neck in debt'? After we receive the remaining monies from Spartak for the McGeady transfer the debt at Parhead will be around £5m... ie. A manageable debt

Ask the finance director at Wavetower if they hold a debt of circa £18m for one Glasgow Rangers mate

Celtic in debt? I'm a shareholder and we are more then healthy in that department, let's just say the commonwealth games have been very good for Celtic fc

Well if the commonwealth games have been very good to celtic then they must have also been very good to rangers. it is the commonwealth games policy that the owners of each external venue used in the games are paid equal amounts. this means that rangers will be paid the same for hosting the rugby games at ibrox as celtic are being payed for their part in the games. as for the other mhanky one on here talking about rangers owing wavetower money, wavetower is craig whytes company as is rangers, so in other words, craig whyte owes himself money and therefore it is not really a debt is it?

Craig white had to buy the debts before he could buy rangers. the debts were mostly bank loans. rangers will have the best pre tax proffit for many a year making the club an even better asset than mr white purchased. the futures bright the futures white.
