dorian goian has said he would like to sign a new deal with the gers and also said he would spend the rest of his career at ibrox

Hes 31 with 18 month remainin, i doubt there will be any new contract offered

Is that what happened when Davie Weir turned 33 - eh no mate!

Don't write Goian off - Dorin Goian doesn't play football.. He allows it's existence as he likes being outside!

Back page of the Evening Times.A GR8 signing.

Oh good just what we need another geriatric defender playing into his middle age.

McCoist has already indicated talks are imminent with midfielder Maurice Edu and striker Kyle Lafferty and now Bendiksen appears set to be offered new terms, with his current six-month deal poised to finish at the end of this month. Everyone must know it makes sense. I think I'm in the minority when it comes to Edu and Lafferty. On websites everyone can have an opinion but when the two players step over that white line on Saturday that's when everyone should get behind them. We normally do anyway.

FF81 well said, I've always been a fan of Edu's. Took me a while to come round to Lafferty but he certainly has ability as seen at the end of last season. I hope they both sign extensions. As always I wish people in the ground would support the team thats what we are there to do.

GovanFR

I'm the same as well. Lafferty works hard regardless of who we play and his pace is what we need up front. Edu is a player I've always rated, he just needs to keep his head up and not let get people on his back. Being the youngest here(18) I think I know the least about rangers but I support them 100%

It's been proved in the past that the only way to beat Celtic is attack but I fear the worst ally is going put team out to shut up shop in next old firm game, look how we managed to out play them in 4-2 game also when we beat them In cis cup final we attacked and win, I could see why we would do this against them when larsson, hartson and Sutton but why fear this Celtic team?

Rablam

Good point,not much between teams,Celtic better midle to front at the moment,defence is poor,and we should go at them,Hooper and Stokes a decent pairing,our centre backs will be best they have faced,the 28th will be a good game,a draw suits us,but as you say,attack,give big Jelavic a chance.watp

Lads, how many of us were a little nervous before the first old firm game. I'll be the first to admit i was, and i know i will be for this one. However, as a fan, Ally will want to beat them. Definitely. I'm confident he'll try to attack and wont set up as we have been in recent weeks. Muzz

If we can see that there defence is a shambles ally definately can so 2 up front for me though i can see ur point as i doubt ally will want to concede

Cant argue that gers totally overran us in the 4 2 game,but the cup final could,ve went either way.

Is giving edu a new contract ally or whyte's call because of USA links?

Question for all you bears, how the dickens does Whyte find time to run your er great club (pause for laughs) with all his court appearances, he spends more time around the courts than Nadal, Murray and Federer put together. Maybe that is why all the bills get paid late, he just does not have time to pay them between different court venues? Aye Right ha ha Timalloy
PS as it is the Panto season Mr Whyte "there's someone at the door" The Big Bad Bailiffs

Question for you timalloy why are you so obsesed with us gers? yes it will be panto season on 28th when we beat you at parkheid and to answer you question as to whos at the door its the polis at your door to take ye away under the mental healt act and your obsessivness with rangers rumours

Wee Craig in court today "The court heard Mr Whyte became the director of Tixway after a seven-year ban from being a company director. When asked why he was banned he answered he could not recall without any documentation what it was about and he would not want to say in open court and be incorrect." - Do you still believe anything this Guy says ?

Nothing seems to surprise me about this guy. The proof all be it true or false about this guy is unreal one to many stories about him & him now saying he was banned as director surely must make people think who is this guy. As to comments about 10m for jelavic from ally seriously made him self a laughing stock of football. EPL teams will have his name near the top of there lists with a figure no where near 10m lol spl has next to no money, rangers are in debt, about 15 bills payed late lists goes on. The more publicity Craig whyte gets from his past & current deals the more & more he's doing damage to himself & rangers.

Said b4 if a cash up front offer of 6-8m comes in then he's off.

I enjoyed coming on to this when I first discovered it because of the transfer speculation and a bit of a buzz talking with fellow supporters about positive things to do with RFC. Now it is just plain depressing! If it is not the filth talking about the tax issues it is people blaming Maurice Edu for the state of affairs at our great club. I am beginning to get the distinct impression that it would not matter a damn if the guy played brilliantly week in, week out. It would not be good enough. I am not suggesting that he is the best player in the world but he currently plays for us and as such deserves our backing along with the other 10 players on the pitch at the time.
A nameless person mentioned that I should not be allowed to express my opinions or that they are incorrect due to my being an armchair supporter and although this is true to a degree does not make my point any less valid. You can never really know the status of other supporters and their reasons for being armchair supporters or season ticket holders etc. but if you want to have a truly global club then these people from wherever they may be should be embraced as having a common cause and a common interest. I was living in Australia for the last fours years and am moving back there again in the not too distant future but I shout as loudly for my team from there as I would from Ibrox. I purchase my share of merchandise and subscribe to most things Rangers but even without this "contribution" and only attending a couple of games a year I would hope that my passion for the team and the game would be enough?

Nobody doubting you are a Rangers supporter and care about the club. The fact is people that go to the games week in week out see a lot more of Edu than you do and believe me he's not well liked and certainly not rated by the majority of supporters. While i personally wouldn't boo him etc whilst playing for the club i'm sick of him and the other useless players we have in the team. Clubfoot, Bedoya,Whittaker, McCulloch, Ortiz, Kerkar, McKay Healy etc etc. You may say some of these guys haven't been given the chance to impress but the facts are they must not be showing up well in training etc and in the snippets we have seen of them they look absolutely guff. If they were any good they would be playing, especially with us having such a small squad. Its horrendous to watch and these guys are some of the worst i have seen in a Rangers jersey. Sorry but imo these guys are dead wood and need clearing out asap. A lot of players have gone a bit stale as well, Davis & Lafferty need a major kick up the ass. We are not all just blaming Edu but he is a major part of the problem. Still thats just my opinion.

Nicko please go into detail on who 'the filth' are please ?

Got a feeling that with parkhead coming up soon mccoist will go looking not to get beat rather than win and play a 5-4-1 formation.

Either:

Mcgregor

Whit Goian Bocca Sasa Wallace

Edu Davis Mcculloch Wylde

Jelavic

or

Mcgregor

Whit Goian Bocca Bartley Sasa

Edu Davis Mcculloch Wylde

Jelavic

I doubt it will be far from this.

East Enclosure Loyal.

PS To the fan who told me a couple of days ago to go and find another team for defending my own players and not wanting to jump on the bandwagon against edu etc you should be ashamed to call yourself a rangers fan.

I support the team. Hope edu gets a new deal, would rather have a team of edu's who try than a whittaker who is there for the money.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but personally i'll be glad to see the back of Edu and a few others. I include s**ttaker in that as well, shockingly bad RB.

Edu will be Super Allys downfall if he does not get rid of him.

GB

I agree. I think it'll be that second team listed if they're all fit and available.

13 Dec 2011 12:50:32
Cannot believe the amount of stick some of you lads give Fleck and Healy! The both of them never get starts and only get the last few mins of a match, if even. IF Jelavic goes in jan I would love to see the both of them get a chance.

Fleck has had numerous starts over the last few seasons including one in the old firm and failed to shine in all of them it's time we faced facts fleck is not good enough get rid NOW! and the fact that ally plays young hemmings before healy tells you that healy is surplus to requirements at ibrox. *ksd*

Sorry mate but fleck is murder there is just nothing about him, his 1st touch is awful and so is his final ball, he's had plenty of chances, granted most of the time as a sub, just hasn't lived up to his hype. Maybe a move will benefit both parties.

Fleck is a dud, never got going, developed a bad attitude and is simpy not good enough for the Gers.

Cherio phat boy.

GB, GERS FOR LIFE.

I think our midfield is as flat as a pancake, no invention, no defence splitting passes,no spark, poor crossers-edu gets slated all the time but i think davis hasnt been great this season-naisy is sorely missed, fleck is a waste of time hasnt done anything in years-the yank and the aussie arent looking to hot either, as for kerkar and ortiz complete waste of wages-our defence looks very good but with the sh£te infront of it we are going to struggle all season-jelavic looks far better than he did at the start of the season what id do for a winger that can cross and a guy with a final ball jela would eat up those chances
STG

I don't understand how nobody seems to pick up on the fact that all our poor performances come when mculloch and edu are in the same midfield.I can handle either one of them in their breaking up the play but when they are both in the middle it's an absolute disaster

The whole Midfiled is shockingly poor. Edu, Davis, Mcculloch... Bartly too.

Davis needs a good kick up the back side but he is still not good enought. Would be a good Right Mid in a midfiled 4 or 5. Not good enough for CM neither is Edu.

GB. Gers for Life.

Do you know who's not good enough? YOU!
Davis RM? Not good enough? What's certain is you haven't a clue! Your more interested in being abusive, Fleck may have an attitude however he's a kid, who has more than likely people telling him everyday he's awesome!!! He's made mistakes you are a mistake!

Someone on here last night said edu played in uefa cup run but he didn't edu was signed summer after he wouldn't have got near our uefa cup final team.

Rablam

Yeah cos they were a great team?? ;) ten players behind the ball then get a goal at home and defend,defend,defend!!
Boa Vista of Europe, must be fantastic to watch the road to Manchester! Then destroying it!!

Better than not winning the league in 3 years I would think anyone agree? ;)

Quick question for evryone who gives edu a hard time.

Edu or brown? Who would you rather have

gazza72

Brown everyday of the week and any truthful fan will say that.

Rablam

Brown every time. Edu is gash and not wanted by every Gers fan i know.

Edu, our best midfielder. Now I understand why Blackburn/Auxerre are prepared to pay £5million for him.

5 million never going to happen

Brown, Forrest, any of the Ceptic midfield would get a game ahead of Edu.

Gers for life

McGregor, Jelavic and Davis all off in January if what is considered good bids come in. This should bring in about 15m and cover the money we are losing from europe. Alexander a more than adequate replacement for McGregor...Hemmings now looking to have a bright future and the news that Edu is signing a new contract sorts the middle out. I personally would give Fleck a run upfront that boy has GOT IT, he needs a run and some confidence to prove himself.

Pfft some right roasters on here.
