Rumour coming in from an extremely reliable source that we are the most succesfull club on the planet

{Ed010's Note -but is it a "FACT" lol

Aye Right Enough lol

it is fact no ones won more then us
Glasgow Rangers 115 major trophies up to end of 2010-2011 season and European Cup Winners Cup winners so really we are the most successful club on the planet :)

how can people say its unbelievable when its FACT no club as won more trophies then rangers there for they are the most successful club FACT

it is infact ur blues brothers across the irish sea that are the most successful clubb team i footballing history... LINFIELD...FACT

Cup winners cup

Actually Linfield have only won their league 50 times compared to Rangers who have won theirs 54 times.

Linfield have won more but most aren't recognised by uefa so thus makin rangers the most successful team in the world.

Just thought I'd share that fact

Willie

Linfield have only won more because they have hundreds of wee diddy cups over there

Linfield have won more trophies but aint recoginised by uef/fifa an all that FACT sorry about spelling

My local pub team have won more trophies. doesnt mean there the most succsessfull team as there trophies dont count for sh*t

The english also call the SPL a diddy league. you can only compete in the league u r i. linfield have wonn a considerably larger amount of trophies than any other tea in the world thus makinng them the most successful.

would love to see jason roberts from blackburn come up to rangers he, s on a bosman
one hell of a striker when you watch him and rangers could defo afford his wage bill easily your thoughts ed.

{Ed010's Note -Jason Roberts strikes me as another of those footballing enigmas. I have watched him on TV when he has been unplayable but on other occasions, he has looked as if he had two left feet. Having said all of that, defenders at any standard of football, hate direct players and especially players who also have power and pace. Jason Roberts certainly has both of these attributes in abundance.

Wud luv to see him at ibrox to, wud be the perfect foil for jelavic! maby we cud even use his pace and strength down one of the wings to!

I would rather we went for Russian international Dmitri Bulyakin.He is on a bosman.And has scored over 20 goals for them this season.Bully bye name bully bye nature.He is 6 feet four, and 31 years old.We would get at least two good seasons out him.Just the kind of big battering ram that we need.And I bet we could afford his wages to.

To the person posting about not needing a central midfielder, in a way i see what you're saying mate and i am with you that players like ness and hutton are the future but as for the short term i have to agree with the ed. At times this season in the spl rangers midfield have looked suspiciously lazy including on more than one occasion playing against THEM, this is due to davis shouldering almost all the creative responsibility in the midfield. I think that the reason we were so rampant in the closing stages of the season was the fact that naismith was dropping off into midfield alot more and helping davis by playing that kind of sneijder role. One thing i dont agree with you on ed is the european games a few of they games i think walter employed the wrong tactics. Take the PSV game for example we sat in and sat in and sat in all game, as soon as we lost that goal and had to go for it we were the ones knocking it round them and in my opinion looked pretty good going forward. hopefully ally will prefer to at least attempt to attack some teams in europe, fair enough sit in against the barcas and man utd's but teams like sporting and PSV we gave way too much respect.
Sorry for rambling on there folks. ed whats your take on this would you rather go with the sitting in tactics in europe or at least try and give a good account of ourselves and attack teams ???

WATP

{Ed010's Note -Firstly I want to place on record the fact that it is a refreshing change to read a "debate" between fans who have differing views on the same subject matter but are able to express themselves without the need to be deeply offensive towards one another. This is what should be happening on this site on a more regular basis.

On the subject of tactics, I personally think that there is to much emphasis placed on tactics before the start of a match because that then sets the tone for the rest of the match or at least until the manager changes them, similar to Walter Smith against PSV. I would concede that there are times when we need to be compact but there are times when we must be more open, especially when we are in the ascendency. Ally's tactics will mostly depend on the quality of player at his disposal but I have a feeling that he will be slightly more adventurous than Walter Smith.

goodwillie in for �£1m and cuellar for �£1.5m good bit of business

If only this was true �£2.5million for those 2 players heres hopeing big rab by the way

15 Jun 2011 21:13:50
how many goals do you think that nikica jelavic will score for rangers this year
agree 25+ or disagree 0-24

If we start the season like we finish the last one jelavic and lafferty easy 45 to 50 between them big rab by the way step up and play

15 Jun 2011 21:09:04
Any other info on bentley or was that just a load of crap??

15 Jun 2011 21:01:44
Would love to see the following players come in:

Cuellar - £2m
Bartley - £2m
Wilson - Loan
Wallace - £1m
Conway - Free
Eagles - £3m
Hemed - Free
Goodwillie - £2m

Total Expenditure: £10m + Wages.

I would also not be displeased to see the following players leave:

Weir - Retired
Bougherra - £1m
Broadfoot - £500k
Edu: £1m

Total Income: £2.5m

I feel people are expecting an awful lot in terms of players going out. Bougherra command a £1million transfer fee at the very most as he only has 1 year left on his deal. We paid £2million and have had the 3 best years of his career therefore we should be happy with £1million. A few people have posted that they would sell Edu for £2m-3m... Really guys? Would you pay £3m for Edu? Don't think so. £1m at the most for him too I'm afraid. As for Broadfoot, I feel he is just not good enough, he is clumsy and there's a reason he cannot hold down a regular spot in a specific position. I wouldn't be confident throwing him into a big game at centre half which he says is his best position.

Of course these are just my personal opinions so feel free to comment.

Any thoughts of your own regarding these points Ed?

Cheers, Steven.

Any thoughts on this Ed?

{Ed010's Note -I agree with most of your views but just wanted to add a thought on your Kirk Broadfoot viewpoint. Since signing from St Mirren, Kirk Broadfoot's appearances with Rangers, could at best be described as steady but no one can deny, his commitment to Rangers.

At a time when players are asked and expected to cover two or three different positional areas in a team, do Rangers fans think that Ally should keep him because of his versatility and safe in the knowledge that his inadequacies, may not be exposed in most SPL matches.

I think big broadfoot gets a raw deal and i would like to see him get a run in the team one example the big man was outstanding at old trafford this season best player on the park for both valencia could not get by him when he was on park and i remember shagger giggs getting more annoyed the longer the game went on when he was moved out to that position and he was playing as a left back that night

15 Jun 2011 20:51:39
Most people seem to be speculating that we need a central midfielder, but I don't agree with this view. We have Davis, McCulloch and Edu in that department, as well as John Fleck, Jamie Ness and Kyle Hutton. Davis is our most creative force and Big Jig would have been player of the year in my opinion were it not for his injury. Edu returned from injury and was awful at times, but his form picked up again toward the end of the season. Jamie Ness was a breath of fresh air when he came in and reminds me very much of Barry Ferguson, but with probably a wider range of passing. Young Kyle Hutton also looks an exciting prospect and has a similar style to Stevie Gerrard. Whereas John Fleck is still only 19, and although his development has stalled, I know he has the ability to become a Rangers legend, but only if he is played in his correct position as an attacking midfielder in the Durrant mould.

By bringing in any other players in this area, this would knock these young lads further down the pecking order, and I certainly don't want to lose young Murray Park graduates who are still in their teens or early twenties, only for them to go on and become stars elsewhere (ie Charlie Adam).

I would much rather see the young lads get a chance as I firmly believe the 3 mentioned above have wonderful talent and become massive players for Rangers.

Any thoughts ed?

{Ed010's Note -I am one of those fans advocating that we really do need to improve our midfield. Last season we got found out in Europe, when we looked solid at the back but looked as if we could have played all night and never scored in some matches. I will concede that is where the strikers earn their corn but they really were feeding off of scraps. There was no creativity and we looked totally disjointed.

Yes we have some young talented players in our squad but they are still learning and progressing.

Finally and I know that the sign of a good team is to win "ugly" but if further evidence was required on the subject, ask yourself how many times in the SPL were we outplayed and overun in midfield by teams like Hamilton and St Mirren and I'm not being disrespectful to them.

I take your points Ed, but I would argue that in Europe, we were playing back to front with the defenders clearly being instructed to hoof the ball up field, therefore not involving the midfield in games the way they should be. With regard to your point about the lesser teams dominating against us, I would simply put that down to our boys playing off their game far too often, ie Davis, Edu and Fleck when he played. I come to this conclusion as I feel these boys are better than those that play for the teams in question, meaning that on the days in question our lads simply didn't show up.

Ed you are spot on lol just need that one quality midfielder to help out davis! We wud be a differant team in my opinion!

To the guy that said he wouldn't be too bothered about missing out on hemed because his goalscoring record wasnt exactly inspiring...... Take a look at jelavic's goalscoring record before he moved to rangers. Its not exactly awe inspiring yet he is the best player in the league. Its not just about goals, if that was the case why did kris boyd have so many critics???? Ally obviously sees potential in the guy or else he wouldn't be after him... think before you post mate.

WATP

--------------------------------------------------
Jelavic 25 goals in 70 games isn't that bad so yea

15 Jun 2011 20:01:59
Hey ed what's with they gay chat adverts on the site?

{Ed010's Note -You are not the first person to ask this question and so when it was asked the last time I contacted all of the companies that provide search engines and all internet providers in order to get answers, as this is just not acceptable. Apparently, these "gay" adverts automatically appear as a direct result of the "surfers" visiting and viewing habits. I hope that you accept my sincere apologies but also accept that it is totally outwith my control. Cheers Ed10

Hahahahah, nice come back ed

Hes right , i was lookin at holidays to cancun the other day and i came on this page and all over the ads bit was holidays to cancun lol ..... so mate the gay ads are poppin up cause you keep checking gay porn out lolol

It's cause your jackin it tae gay porn!!

15 Jun 2011 19:56:55
Ma wee bro's best mate go's with ross mccormacks sister ashley says he has'nt heard anythin about it I think its a load a crap looks like we r gettin the boy hemed plus we have lafferty big jelavic n naismith so why spend all that money and he is a celtic fan WATP

15 Jun 2011 19:49:44
Hemed, Danns and Conway to be signed in the next week.
Just saw some footage of Danns and he very much reminds me of a Russell Latapy type player.
Conway isn't a bad utility player as he is still developing, expect another more advanced winger to come in as well.
At the end of the day we can't complain at signing three decent players for nothing.
Carlos Cuellar joining depends entirely on the view of the next Aston Villa manager.

I watched some videos of Danns on youtube and he reminded me of anderson of man united .... not a rumours just saying as you said he reminded you of a latapy type player.

15 Jun 2011 19:17:01
It would seem according to rumours on the arsenal
website (rumours) site that kyle bartley will not be sold off and his next loan if it happens will be to another epl club so it would seem we, ve seen the last of kyle bartley unless arsene venger decides otherwise he is very rated at arsenal in fact their next centre back for years to come and lets face it he will be a great player given time so sadly Allie better get his skates on to find a really good centre back.

15 Jun 2011 18:23:46
STEVE DAVIS KID GOES TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS MY WEE GIRL HE SAYS HOPEFULLY THAT GOODWILLIE N CULLEAR WILL SIGN NEEK WEEKEND

DUNDEES DANNY GRIFFINS SEEN AT MURRAY PARK LAUGHING WITH CONWAY I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS CAUSE OF MY MATES CELTIC TOP LOL

They should be laughing at anyone wearing a sellik top

Ha ha ha ha. Thats hilarious, especially since Craig Conway was nowhere near murray park today. His rep was there for an "informal chat" ha ha ha bet your mates celtic top was so funny, ha ha lol lmfao yak yak. Lies.

15 Jun 2011 18:07:46
I see Hemed is wanted by a couple of Spanish teams. To be honest i wouldn't be fussed if we lost out on him. Too many people on here judging him by a few youtube compilation video's. His career stats to date are hardly inspiring, especially at his age..he's pretty much at his peak for a striker. Should Goodwillie's court case go in his favour, we should be looking to bring him to Ibrox instead. The boys a proven scorer at SPL level and is still plenty young enough to develop.

Also, with regards to Hemed, apparently he was offered £8k a week. How's he going to feel when he looks across the city and sees his buddy Kayal getting a bumper pay rise? Money talks in this game, not European Football (unless your Barca, Man Utd, Milan etc)

Kayal's came to the country and proved himself. Therefore he's earned a pay rise. Hemed will have to do the same. Pretty simple really.


Bobby

McCoist has said he is interested in both Tomer Hemed and David Goodwillie, when he signs one of them, it doesn't mean he won't sign the other.

I agree, he may very well decide to sign both but with Laffery coming into his own and Jelavic firing on all cylinders, can he really afford to rotate and upset the team..or have more players sitting on the bench picking up money for doing sod all?

So what do you suggest? Go through the season with only 2 strikers. Only one of which managed 15 goals last season. Playing them week in week out. Through injuries and poor form?

15 Jun 2011 17:30:02
with all these free agents we are lining up, it looks like ally is gonna spend big on a few quality players that we so desperatly need to get through the cl qualifiers! a quality cb and cm is the needed ingrediants!

15 Jun 2011 16:59:47
watched last night on espn the spl season review and it was the best 3 hours of my life as so funny seeing lennon hand behind ears suggesting come on then they go and lose the league. Neil Lennon lol
chiz

Haha, my highlight of the season is, without doubt, Lennon kicking the bottle at the end of the ICT game. I must've watched that video about 100 times.
Lets hope for more raging Lennon next year.
GovanFR

Watching 3 hours of SPL highlights was the best 3 hours of your life? I assume then that you were infact only seconds old before you commenced the viewing of this televisual feast?

Also, at what point in the ear cupping gesture did Lennon suggest "come on then"?. Perhaps he was responding to the bile and hate that was being projected towards him from some of our apparent fans. You may not like the man for personal reasons (despite the fact he has probably done nothing to you) or because he's a Celtic man but the level of abuse volleyed at him is intolerable. I have Celtic fans as friends who don't particulary like Walter Smith but i have yet to hear them say anything derogitary about the man.

It's people like you that make me ashamed to be a Ger.

You must have a really boring life.

He was only saying that it was funny the fact that he put his hands behind his ears to try and taunt us Gers fans, and we went on to win the league, he wasn't saying anything hateful towards your best mate Lennon haha, so stop bringing crap like that up!!! Oh and also the last part of your post says you are ashamed to be Gers fan? Yeah you must be one of the manky mob trying to stir it up!!!

"your best mate Lennon" - Class !

Lennon's behaviour last season made me laugh - he's a rocket!
the tiger - beyond reproach

I see, so because i do not wish to sign about 'Fenian Blood' or have an overwhelming desire to shout "Go Home Fenian Scum", i am somehow a "Manky" trying to stir things up. Or could it be that i do not wish to have my club tarred even more by the sectarian brush?

How do you think many of our ex-Italian players felt walking onto the pitch, scared to bless themselves as all around them anti-Catholic chanting was bellowing around the stadium. How many of our current crop are Catholic but are scared to bless themselves infront of the moronic element of our support. We have all ready been banned (with promise of further expulsion) from Europe because of this. I hate to admit it, but UEFA rewarded the Celtic fans..they banned us yet it is us who are apparently absolved of all allegations.

Mate get a grip call yersel a ger fan... Do u not remember Lemmon spitting on a rangers scarf at ibrox and calling us orange b/stars I for one can't stand Lennon not because he is catholic or works at the girodome it's because he is a wee arrogant Ginger see u next Tuesday and the only person that braught up thebigotry card was u

Let's stop aw the in-house fighting nag get ready to get right behind the team next season cf2 here we go

You have brought all of this crap up, no one said anything sectarian at all, after all this is a banter page, it was all just a laugh about Lennon losing the league, that is all, there was no hate, there was no sectarian slur, just people having a laugh. Calm down and stop bringing this crap up dude!!!

15 Jun 2011 16:54:13
hemed will sign, just like jelavic, the nerves make it more exciting.welcome to the rangers tomer, now for 4 in a row.

15 Jun 2011 16:27:13
Totally not related to football but is this your full time job being the Editor of this site??? I'm just curious.

Billyboy1!!!

{Ed010's Note -Billyboy, this is not my full time job. I do not get paid one penny for my time.

I had been a visitor to this site for about a year and became increasingly frustrated that my posts were not getting published and my questions, to the "Eds" were not being answered to my satisfaction. About 4 weeks ago, I sent an irate email to the site administrator complaining about issues with the Rangers site. My email was answered and in the response, I was asked if I would like to help out on the Rangers site, so here I am.

You want to get a better agent ed, you should at least tried to get minimum wage n a season ticket as signing on fee
the tiger - better at negotiation than ed10

{Ed010's Note -Tiger, I really didn't give that a thought until you mentioned it. How's you fixed for becoming my agent but I can't afford to give you any more than 50% of my wages, otherwise I would be left with "nothing" lol

Ed, for 50% i'll get you a better gig. better go n start hawking you about as ed of an epl team.
the tiger - anyone want to give ed a better job????

15 Jun 2011 15:53:31
straight from twitter.Hemed deal dead.Can't agree signing on fee.

I just looked and it is nowhere on twitter

Utter Sh1te

Oh I smell a C*ltic fan quaking in his boots, he is having sleepless nights thinking of the amazing strike partnership of Nikica Jelavic and Tomer Hemed and how they are going to shoot Rangers to 4 in a row!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA xD

15 Jun 2011 15:46:51
Weiss has, nt signed for anyone this is the work of one of pinnochios love children!so whydont you go jump back into your whale and sail back to the "darkside"

No fussed if weiss came back or no. give whylde n other lads a chance, weiss flatters to deceive
the tiger - no fussed

15 Jun 2011 15:24:53
Tomer Hemed will be Rangers first signing of the summer, followed by Neil Danns also on a free. Danny Wilson will come back on loan and Derek Riordan is still a possibility on a free transfer. The only players we will sign for a fee will be Carlos Cuellar and David Goodwillie. Still need more cover in midfield though so look out for some loan deals for that area.

rangers have already signed 2 youngsters from man city

Who are the 2 youngsters from man city??

{Ed010's Note - Tom and Kim Skogsrud. There is a story about them on the official Rangers website

15 Jun 2011 15:08:00
Was just on the Leeds united page and it says Arsenal are going to send Kyle bartley on loan to them!! Does anyone know any truth in this?

Arsenal have still not made a decision on where his future lies so this is very unlikely.

15 Jun 2011 14:55:03
I curious about the vaughan saga the bloggs were saying hes going to sunderland but I have been watching the sunderland site and I dont think his name has been mentioned once and the one time I saw it mentioned elsewhere he was, nt wanted so who knows where he, ll finish up?probably at Ibrox he might be hopeless if the inferences are correct...something odd about that transfer story..

15 Jun 2011 14:05:55
McCoist wants hemed, Conway and danns signed by end of the week as He is away for a family holiday next week

Stv website

15 Jun 2011 14:04:56
I posted yesterday about the scary headline and i suppose you's have all noticed the DAILY RECORD has nothing at all about THE CHAMPIONS in their rag today, strange this as you usually follow an exclusive up but i read in another paper mr whyte is doing the exact opposite of what that paper said he was doing, i did say say alarm bells were ringing due to who wrote this story thats what it was a big fairytale anyway i am not 1 to gloat but i also posted about super ally bringing in a few bosmans and about mr whyte running a prudent ship so i am glad to hear we r in talks with craig conway as i can't remember the last time we had someone who could actually deliver a half decent cross on the run or take a corner or a free kick from shy line side he won't be taking them in front of goal thats big jellyfish job but the boy is a good player as i say we don't have to burst the bank there is good players out there without going crazy thats all for now folks as i say i am not 1 to gloat and i am sure someone will try to burst my bubble 1 of the manky mob probably but there not very good at it so that will do for now WATP

Hemmed will join tmoz on a 3 year deal, everything was sorted with his agent yesterday and now only has medical to go. Danns and Conway will be coming in shortly on free transfers, Wilson and Bartley on loan. Goodwillie 2m, Weiss 2.5m and cueller 2.5m. Players that will go Beattie 250k, weir retire, bougherra 3m.

Most of that is realistic, one thing though, Weiss will not be joining anyone for �£2.5m seriously, he is worth at least �£5m, probably more, and even that would be a steal!!!

15 Jun 2011 13:38:10
Rangers hopes of signing Israeli international Tomer Hemed are today hanging in the balance.

SportTimes understands Ally McCoist s bid to make Hemed his first signing could be scuppered by new interest from La Liga outfits Real Mallorca and Espanyol.

The Ibrox club held extensive talks with Hemed s agent Max Meltzer yesterday and tabled an £8,000-per- week three-year deal. But the Spanish hijack counter offer is thought to be almost double that of Rangers package.

Evening Times.

{Ed010's Note -Guys, as I am sure you will appreciate, this "story" has been posted to me on at least 15 different posts and it makes no sense at all to just publish post after posr with the same information. To those people who took the time to send in their posts, I thank you but hope that you will appreciate the reason for your post not appearing. Cheers Ed10

STV sports desk said he was signing yesterday.And money was not thought to be a issue.Is he going to play every week in Spain?Is he going to get champions league football there?And line himself up to a move to EPL if he is good for us?I doubt it very much.Rangers would be a good move for him.If he wants to look back on his carer, with medals in the cabinate.When he is a old man.

15 Jun 2011 13:25:22

In reply to rangers being the most successful club of all time actually look at the number of trophies won by linfield.
Honours:
Irish League Championship - 50 times
Irish F.A. Challenge Cup - 41 times
(City Cup) - 29 times winners (inc. 2007/08)
Gold Cup - 31 times winners
Ulster Cup - 15 times winners
Co. Antrim Shield - 41 times winners
All-Ireland Cup - 4 times winners
Budweiser Cup - Once
Coca-Cola Cup - 3 times winners.
I'm not gonna add it up but its more than 115 ok northern irish clubs have alot more comps than us but still dont post things joke about it being fact then get owned by a 21 yr old :)
mon the teddy bears
ps 1st post so I will just add my 2 cents to the transfer debate
cuellar- amazing to get him back
weiss- would love him back but dont know if he will come
healy- dont think he will stay been told to find regular football or miss out for N.I. by Worthington but is 31 so time may be called on international career.
foster- dont want him back we need 2 new full backs and i would agree with other posts ive seen on this site a player like hutton and wallace...( can wylde play lb? or do we have any young full backs if so i would get rid of broadfoot as well as boughie
bartley/wilson- woould try to sign bartley permanently and would also bring both of them as we have weir who should retire boughie gong so only papac, bradfoot and whitty to ply cb and i would hate to see anyof them do it if we r going to play 5 at the back in europe a back line of wallace wilson cuellar bartley hutton would do ok.
Edu- needs to stay one of our best ball winning midfielders of recent years still yound would rather him than mccullouch and have davis as captain
frings- prob too expensive but would be great signing
along with this i would like 1 or 2 wide midfielders also looks like we may get danns dont know mch about him but have some good reports so could be a good signing
hemed/ goodwillie - if we sign both is laffers gonna get a game after winning the title for us i feel he seserves the first 5-10 games of next season with jela
milller- dont want him back dont care if he dont like turkey.
its my first post dont slate me too much

Incorrect theey are not all uefa santioned competitions .... hence why gers dont include the tournies they have won that are not uefa recognised such as the glasgow cup.

Good points, with your first post buddy,

I still don't Rate Edu though, I think Gomis is better, and IMO That is a position I think we could use young Hutton as a permanent fixture, He can pass the ball left and right, and is not scared of anyone. (Go back to him putting the sh*ters up Broon at Parkhead last season and Broonie sh*t it from him)
Weiss would come back to rangers but I think its out of Rangers and Weiss Hands, I have a feeling that Mancini rates him.

I am actually struggling to think of a playmaker Midfielder that Rangers could get at a decent Price, or freebie/loan
I'll say it again, Das Hammer Mk2 Hitzelsperger would be the man for me, I know his wages are high, but I think he would love it here.

Realistically though new signings Cueller, Bartley, Wilson (Loan), Conway (according to STV today) Dannzy, Goodwillie and Hemed.
If you add these players to our current squad, It actually looks quite competative,

Rikkisixx

Gomis is going to Birmingham with or without a new boss, according to yesterdays teletext

15 Jun 2011 11:10:00
Is hemed good enough for us. I, m not sure hope he proves me wrong. I think we need 7 players and 3 of them need to be defenders and replace them that leave

Just watch his aerial ability and how quickly he can take a touch and shoot,

The man looks like a powerhouse. I am quite excited at the prospect of having Jelavic, Hemed, Naisy, Lafferty, and poss Goodwillie as our striking options for next year, still think we need 2/3 defenders, a Winger and a creative Midfielder

just a bit of info for "RANGERS supporters" just to stop the bickering ed.

Rangers have signed 25-year-old Spanish central defender Carlos Cuellar in a �£2.5 million deal. Carlos is Walter Smith's 6th signing of the summer and tops the list with the largest fee.

{Ed010's Note -I'm not a "bickering Ed" lol.....thanks for your post.


Ed can you let this clown know that Sir Walter isn't the manager anymore !!!!!!!!

I take it this has been copied and pasted from an article written when Walter initially signed Cuellar? Back when Walter signed him in 2007 for �£2.5m? The fact he is 29 going on 30 probably gives it away!

Nor is he 25 anymore! Post is 4yrs out of date pal!

{Ed010's Note -My friend, the post was made in response to a "arguement" that had developed about who actually signed Carlos Cuellar, when he arrived at Rangers.

The person who posted the statement was trying to show that it was Walter Smith who signed him, thus preventing any more arguements. The post contains a direct quote from the original article in 2007 when Cuellar was signed and that is the reason for it being 4 years old.

Oh Dear Blackwood! Think about it! lol

He was 25 when he left us, think he is 29 now.

Sorry Ed I eat my own words here! In that case Blackwood you did well to find such an accurate description of the original signing! Spot on!

{Ed010's Note -Nice to read when someone acknowledges that they got it wrong. Just wish that more would acknowledge it because we are only human afterall.

Accepted

Hi ed,

I know you said the thread below is closed but can i just add 1 little thing??

Alex Mcleish to be unveiled as villa boss within next 24 hours (twitter). Hopefully this means cuellar's on way home to the mighty rangers

------------------------------------------------
why would this mean he will come to us ya thick moron coz he use to manage us was it not him that signed him for gers ????

-------------------------------------------------

It wasn't McLeish that signed Cuellar it was Smith back in July 2007, so you never no, If McLeish gets the Villa job, who's to say he'll want him in his team?? As you always say Ed anything is possible.

21 year old Daniel Didavi. from a German club. Sorry thats all i heard

{Ed010's Note -Daniel Divadi is a 21 year old midfield player with Stuttgart

sorry about the spelling ed. people at work keep talkin about this Sabri guy from turkey aswell you know anythin.

Sabri Sarioglu is a 26 year old Turkish winger who plays for Galatasaray.

are these guys any good ed?

Ed10 - I know nothing of Daniel Divadi and just a little more about Sabri Sariogu. Sabri does play for his national team and is similar in many ways to Rino Gattuso, he runs, chases and harries opponents all over the park. He doesn't have a great scoring record but that really isn't his forte. That is really the extent of my knowledge on him. Not a lot but hopefully enough for you to have a picture in your mind. Cheers Ed10

For goodness sake fellow bears! I've read a few threads today that, for want of a better word, went on a bit and were a bit drawn out. But more importantly, were possibly verging on abusive and derogatory to other supposed fellow supporters. We should be supporting each other and taking the 'rumours' as such, not slagging each other or being snide with one another. We are all after the same cause afterall.... The love of our team. Let's be positive guys. Be respectful towards one another and accept the site for what it is.... Rumours and banter! Ed is doing a steller job. So let's not lower ourselves to other certain teams levels eh? Believe as big Marv would day! Lol positive thinking guys! --------------------------------------------

well said my man, enough is enough.
