Peter enkleman of st Johnstone is being looked at as a possible replacement for mcgregor.. who wants a fresh challenge!
=========================================

WTF?...MATE YOU ON CRACK?

He is a awful keeper.Go see what he did in the Birmingham derby.There is plenty of better keepers around than him.

Thats a bit harsh mate he made 1 mistake in the Birmingham derby years ago! Would be a good keeper for the Gers.. in saying that hope big shagger stays!

11 Jun 2011 21:28:21
maxi moralez and the other argentine boy are amazing technical players ! could be new cannigias or beasleys :/ but its worth the gamble think !

11 Jun 2011 21:31:06
hope we dont sign too much players ! would like to see wylde ness hutton gettin chances again!

We need to buy some players to strengthen our squad

Aye maybe 4-5 players not 8-9 which everyone seems to think we are

11 Jun 2011 21:20:02
would love to see bardsley or hutton at rangersss

All seems to have gone quiet on Dorrans, does anyone know if this is still a possibility.

{Ed010's Note -I would suggest that any slight hope that Rangers had in signing Dorrans, has totally went out the windows due to Liverpool paying £22m for Jordan Henderson. By paying that amount for Henderson, Liverpool have basically raised the transfer fee for every other player, who is under contract, in the EPL. Just my opinion though.

I agree totally, think 22 mil is a ridiculous amount of money to pay for henderson. Seems like young players only need to have 1 really good season and everyone goes mental! He's only got 1 cap for engurland. not disputing he's a good player but he's still young. Too much pressure

ma starting XI next season

McGregor

Whittaker(signs a deal) Cuellar Bartley Papac

Naisy Mculloch Davis Danns Estigarribia


Jelavic


Thoughts?

If you watched the last few games of the season you would of seen how good we were with two upfront. Ally him self said he will be more attacking.

I think your half right it will be

McGregor

Whittaker / Cuellar / Bartley / Papac

Naismith / Davis / Edu / Wylde

Jelavic / Goodwillie or Hemed

Of course this will change depending on who else we are interested in lol

We should stick with a 4-4-2, we don't really have any excuses not to play more attacking now, especially the way Jelavic played at the end of last season

11 Jun 2011 20:06:12
Since when did miller become king kenny get a grip his first touch was abysmal and for all his pace when did he ever knock the ball past a centre half and leave him for dead with his pace . Anybody who has a bit of ability should score 20 goals a season .
We don't want money grabber miller back or ferguson either

Miller actually scored 20 goals in half a season, so i think he is quality, and still finished top scorer

PISS AFF MILLER..AND TAKE BOUGGIE WI YOU...

Gie Miller a break. He went because we offered him 1 year at half the wage! it's all relative. i mean, would you stay at your work if they told you they were halfing your wage when someone else was offering to treble it? Just looking after his familys intrests. I do agree that his first touch isnae great though and he bottles it in front of goal. Luckily, it doesn't put him off and he keeps working to get chances then sticks 1 in 4 away.

Miller will never be king kenny for 2 reasons. 1 he's a very average striker. only player with a 1st touch worse than novo n 2nd, he played for celtic!
the tiger - never really liked miller

11 Jun 2011 19:51:32
if greegsy leaves coisty should buy stockdale of fulham

WHATS WRONG WI THE GUY THAT KEPT GOAL IN THE LEAGUE CUP FINAL?..ALEXANDERS A CRACKING KEEPER FOLKS

He is gettin old and we will need 2 goakeeper !!! stockdale 24 - alexander 33? he will most probably not be able to play everygame

11 Jun 2011 18:59:37
I would just like to say that the people claiming that we are going to bring in tons of "big names" and a new squad basically are nummties!
true we do have money to spend (12m roughly) for a change, but we also need to take in their wages into perspective..
i reckon we will sign a big name defender, and a Midfielder. I dont think that we will keep on Davie Weir as it probably would have been done by now. Carlos Cueller looks likely to be that big name for defence, however, that will depend on the new villa boss. As for the for the midfielder im not too sure. names like gattuso, fings gibson etc have been coming up, but i dont see any of them happening. i think we will sign goodwille and hemed as we really only have Jelavic - and i dont rate lafferty myself (regardless of his perfomance towards the end of the season).
i do think that we will sign a few free bees and a couple of 500k-1m signings- and they will be used as squad players which we have been lacking the past couple of seasons.
Our team does consist of quality players, and i think with a couple of high quality and squad player additions we should have a stronger side than celtics, therefor 4 in a row aswell as a strong performance in europe ( with a larger squad this is more likely).

A realtisic Gers fan ;)
JamesRFC

What big names r u on aboiut? Barring berbatov.. I believe most of the players mentioned on here are well with in our budget.. Unless ur idea of a big name is benalluan or danns lol

I myself think lafferty is a good player, sir walter kinda wasted him by putting him out wide, look how well he played at the end of the season.
RTID WATP

TRUST ME..THEY WILL SING ABOUT LAFFERTY AT IBROX LONG AFTER HE PACKS IT IN..WUD YOU GET RID OF HIM NOW IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE?

HERE HERE RTID

11 Jun 2011 18:21:39
aye right. 3 ex players who were all s**t. This sounds like the work from the dark side.

11 Jun 2011 18:04:55
WHAT ABOUT JAMIE MURPHY FOR RANGERS NOBODYS EVEN SPOKE ABOUT THIS BOY HE WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION TO THE SQUAD.

He has had a good season.Still only 22 but there is better out there than him.Maybe give him another season.To see if he is good enough.I have not heard any championship teams in for him to.But yes the kid has a lot about him, power pace skill finishing.

11 Jun 2011 16:52:14
What do you guys think of this team??

mccgregor

whittiker wilson bartley papac

fings mcclulloch

davis

naismith lafferty

jelavic

a few bosmans, loans, and maybe a quality sighning added to this would be good enough for next year!!
also, swansea used this formation last year and i think it would suit us, we have dynamic players (whitteker, mcculoch, davis, naismith) and this would use that!!!

what do you guys think???

namba

Mccolluch is the most "undynamic" player ever!! Lol

I wouldn't have Wilson and Bartley, both good but no experience


Gers till i die

We need another attacking mid in there n another strike partner for jelavic possibly hemed n id have cuellar at center half with bartly as wilson is a bit small.
butch

The above comment i stated, i ment i woudn't have both

Wouldnt say wilson had no experience just not enough to be partnerd by another young boy

11 Jun 2011 16:36:06
Frings will not join Rangers as he is currently on £80k week and would not take a huge wage drop. (Source: Evening Times)

Don't want him he's too old

11 Jun 2011 16:17:00
My top targets for the summer would be (in no particular order) - Wallace, Kranjcar, Hutton, Cuellar, Wilson, Dos Santos, Frings, Hitzlesperger, Michael Johnson, Bartley. I realise we can't obviously sign all of the above however, god loves a trier!! Hope to god we don't re-sign Miller...mercenary!! Get shot of Whittaker...cost us so many goals and is too slow. Thinks he is Cafu!!! Starting Line Up -

McGregor

Hutton
Cuellar
Wilson
Wallace

Davis
Frings
Ness

Kranjcar
Jelavic
Dos Santos

Wishfull thinking, I kno but I can dream can't I!?

WATP

Your blind if you think that about Whitty! One of our best most useful players.

I woudn't have kranjcar in ma team m8, is wallace a left back???, Papac is the most consistente player in our team
Gers till i die

Would try for bardsley bcos whitty and bardsley both play rb/lb very useful espicially with papac gettin on a bit

My Aim next year would be:

Transfers First
Forster £500k
Benalouane(free)
Cuellar(£1.5m)
Bartley(Loan)
Wallace(£2m)
Danns(Free)
Estigarribia £2m
Miller(£400k)
Total=£5.9m

Next Contracts for McGregor Whittaker Weir Davis Healy

Then Sell Bougherra £3m
Kerkar Free
Beattie £800k
Total=£3.8m So we use £2.1m

Starting XI
GK McGregor
RB Whittaker
CB Cuellar
CB Benalouane
LB Papac
RM Naismith
CM Davis
CM Edu
LM Estigarribia
ST Jelavic
ST Miller
Subs From Alexander Forster Broadfoot Bartley Weir Wallace Wylde Danns Fleck Ness K.Hutton Lafferty Healy

Then Club Cup and League Aim
That will be a 1/8 final Europa League OR Last 16 Champions League(anymore bonus) and 4 in a row with either the CIS Scottish Cup Scottish Cup or BOTH
--------------------------------------------------
I agree with almost everything execpt Edu starting over Danns or Ness. No Hemed either even though it looks to be our first signing. Good list though. WATP
--------------------------------------------------
Ye good but why would we pay 2 million for wallace if he was going to sit on the bench and i also agree i think hemed or goodwille would be better than miller their younger and hemed is 6 foot tall so is a good presence to have with jelavic and we would get hemed for free instead of paying 400k for miller.

It is foster! forster played for septic in goals!!

11 Jun 2011 14:56:45
Kevin Muscat has not retired he is player/coach at Perth glory! Could be offered the same role at ibrox to help bring on the young lads.

He retired years ago, he is not coming near Ibrox.And was drummed out cos he was not good enough the first time around.Enough with the B.S

He did not retire years ago he was in the paper not that long ago about yet another leg breaking tackle.

Get a grip ya roaster! I ain't talking bs as u elegantly put it! Jst passing on a rumour i heard from a usuall reliable source!

He got kicked out of football in 09

Muscat was sh**e when he was with us years ago. What are we even talkin about this fud for anyway?

11 Jun 2011 14:31:53
av heard the bentley rumour aswell, doesnt seem likely but we can hope! apart from that ive heard danns from crystal palae is more than a rumour its defo happenin, hes a crackin free signin!

He is a good player, should do well here.He is not as good as Ambrose though.I would rather we were signing him.But for a free its a no brainer.McGuigan from Forest would be another good free.He looks a decent midfielder to.

11 Jun 2011 13:50:48
to the guy who said Bartley insisted Cruise comes with him, Cruise was released by Arsenal end of May

Aye tom cruise

{Ed010's Note -That's what he said, Tom Cruise was released by Arsenal and is currently a free agent or am I missing something ?

Yes sign an actor sounds about rite u already have plenty of them

11 Jun 2011 13:30:02
i hope yous get eremenko hes doo doo.....every day im shuffilin!!!!!!!!!

11 Jun 2011 11:30:18
dont think so, we leevy boys ma mate and he told me he will be signing a 1 year extention to his existing deal, what i do know is were trying to tie up a deal for paraguay left sided midfielder estigarribia, neill danns, cuellar, wilson, and a centre forward.

{Ed010's Note -I have published your post as it contains additional information on a seperate matter but why don't you "think so" and who will be signing a one year extension. If you could either copy the original post before your reply or just make a reference to it. eg REF : Ally McCoist......."don't think so......" Cheers Ed10

Aw your pals with leevy boy are you? What a buffoon you are bet you've never met him in your puff!

Sky sports rumours showing Neil danns and paragyan winger being linked.. Marcelo estigarribia. No goals last season for him but danns got a few from midfield.

Nothing concrete just more rumours.

i think whittaker should be sold and the money used i dont really rate him as a player

Clearly you are a Celtic fan or you watch a different Rangers to most others!!! Simply our most versatile player, who is extremely comfortable with the ball on either foot. He is at a great age of 26 with years ahead of him, we bought him for 2million , so there is no chance he will go for anything less, an extremely professional lad who is tee total and stays away from trouble!! and he has stated his only intent is to stay. So I ask you what Rangers are you watching and why exactly would you sell him?

Ally McCoist admits to opening contract talks with Tomer Hamed within the next 48hrs He has had good reports from John Brown, Neil Murray and Ian Durrant

Celtic have a nicer kit. Lets have a Banterment!


That will be the same kit as last year and the year before and the year before that and so on! Funny thing is you mugs buy it... WATP


I suppose u think the rangers strip changes drastically every season??


You can distinguish between rangers strips season to season

Have you seen the pix of C*ltics new strip? Even the player looks depressed. Hideous. Too funny

Don't kid yourself on ya numpty! You can distinguish between plain blue every season haha! Every teams traditional strip hardly changes!
