Morning Bears,
Hearing that Kranjcar could go through within the next few days -
Warburton's selling point seems to be the clubs vision to being back on top. (Barton mentioned in his interview) - as a last chance hurrah for players like Barton and Kranjcar why not?
And also I'm not usually one for the nonsense rumours - but there seems to be a bit of reliability in the prospect of Jozy Altidore joining us, 26 years old and looking to reinvent himself in European football - what better way than join the Rangers Revolution?

I'm not so sure on the player rumour maybe true maybe not but for me looking at his record of goal scoring he's not prolific enough at his age he should be in prime not trying to reinvent hopefully it's not true.

Read on his profile he has a muscle injury and return unknown. Only 2 goals in 8 games think we'd be better looking at Faendo Adi of Portland Timbers, also his tranfer price is cheaper.
Anyone got thoughts on this.

The mls released the player wages for the whole league last week and Altidore was on about $6 million so I think we can rule that one out! On top of that he's just not very good!

Hows that cause the report showed kaka was the highest earner on 5 million.
25 May 2016 11:55:59
Altidore is on $4.825m I seriously doubt that Altidore is a target.

Kaka is on $7.16 mill which I'm assuming must be about £5mill if that's what a report was saying.

Jozy altidore is on pretty high wages in the mls. He has tried Europe a few times and can't cut it. Seems happier playing in the states. But on the other hand he is a big strong boy and maybe exactly what we need but he would have to come here for less dough.

I think if MW signs him it will be because he thinks he can get him back in to his AZ days in the Dutch league scored 39 goals there. EPL didn't really suit his style of play just cause someone is shit for them dosent mean they are completely different styles of play you don't have to be a genius to see that.

So if he's on £5 mill a year, that means he's on £60k per week . i have my reservations about how much truth are in these figures being put forward.

Just remember if altidore returns to Europe to try agian he knows himself his wages will drop dramatically as no English team would pay that kind of wages he is a strong striker and has the potential to be really good but I think it would be silly to go for him there is better players to be looking at.

Toronto FC and Rangers fan here. Can confirm that Jozy is on roughly $4m usd so very unlikely that he goes to Rangers. He started the season really well (hold up play more so than goals) but his hamstrings have failed him again which seems to happen once a season at least. If fit and on lower wages he'd be a great signing for rangers but that's a big if.
Adi from Portland is a good shout though.
