Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
27 Jun 2011 23:05:45
if hemed and danns are knocking us back can any of the bright sparks out there tell me how we are getting royston drenthe, roque santa cruz, shawn wright phillips, joseph yobo??
Because we will offer more money to players that will play every week than we will for squad players.
'Cause we are no getting any of them, Seemples, thrrt thrrt
27 Jun 2011 23:04:57
dont see what all the fuss is about were skint, no were not dont have to buy all our players in the first couple of weeks, we do up untill august 31st. just be patient.
27 Jun 2011 23:04:26
All iam gonna say is whos with me when i say i think we are going for 9 in a row again or more, all the omens are there assistant becoming manager new owner and c*ltic having a manger who previously played for them
27 Jun 2011 22:52:38
Why do everyone posting a rumour seem to think we're signing past players? Can they not come up with original rumours? Ross McKormack, Alan Hutton, Kris Boyd, Barry Ferguson the only former player officially targeted is Carlos Cuellar... No Lovenkrands, No Gatusso and no Filip Sebo so stop talking rubbish.
27 Jun 2011 22:16:05
A mate of mine who is pritty accurate has told me rangers are in talks with Ross McCormack, don't know myself like but could be one to watch. would be good
27 Jun 2011 21:52:03
to mr timmy who posted this below
27 Jun 2011 14:06:00
Neil Danns another player you didnt want? just like the others that had rejected you lot, oh wait i'll just go get the comfort blanket of "but we didn't make an offer"
think you will find if you listen to the interview with neil danns he says he rejected offers from rangers and celtic
3 in a row timmy
As much as your against rangers your right, Celtic did contact straightacesports regarding Neil danns.the reason he never signed for rangers was that mcoist didn't think anybody else would offer him the money that gers did.hemed , Conway, danns , I'm sure goodwillie will be next to join the 'nearly' list.mcoists dealings in the transfer Market shows his inexperience . Not long too our next panic buy
27 Jun 2011 21:29:01
Ed, where is the source of joeseph yobo and shawn wright phillips coming from
GoGerz101
{Ed010's Note -from memory it was two seperate contributions but in my opinion both without foundation. Yobo has attracted interest from Fenerbahce who have offered £3m but Everton are holding out for £6m.
Shaun Wright Phillips' wages with Man City, will earn him more in a year, than I will in a lifetime.
27 Jun 2011 21:26:04
i do not think goodwillie will sign for us..mr whyte is going to after splash the cash soon all talk no aciton up to now....
27 Jun 2011 21:15:33
Ed has David Vaughan signed elsewhere or has ally given up on signing him? ain't heard anything on tht 1 for a while.
{Ed010's Note -David Vaughan hasn't signed for anyone yet but he has arranged to speak to Sunderland, Wolves and West Bromwich. If these three EPL clubs are looking to sign him then I suspect we won't be able to compete.
27 Jun 2011 21:14:20
Got to laugh at all the Celtic supporters on here. Get a life ya sad pricks and worry about your own 2nd rate 2nd best team. You will still be second next year, maybe 3rd. Concentrate on your own side. Who cares players are choosing the championship over the spl. That's up to them. A couple of grand a week more to fight out for a possible playoff for the epl. Enjoy. Have fun. We will sign players and will win the league.
Hullo my blue nosed friends as I fear the worst for you mob no money no hope no new players yous lot will get more knock backs than a teenage clubber. wee sally will be pissed off deserves better as posted previous smell the fear rolling down the slopes of Govan
As I said before worry about your own team. We have had no money for years and still win the league. It's been so easy it's laughable. Your lot just keep spending and just keep losing. It's so funny. You are obviously a closet person your on here that often. Welcome to the blue half of the city timmy. The champions side. We are officially the people.
It is very simple as of yet Celtic haven't signed anyone, neither have Rangers, most business is done in August. Another simple fact, Celtic are in more debt than Rangers and many players have the ambition to play in the Champions League, something Celtic do not offer players.
GovanFR
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did the dirty dozen not achieve the distinction of becoming the FIRST team ever to be knocked out of FOUR EURO competitions in the space of 12 months, just last year ? so you CANNOT guarantee any bhugger european anything, I thank you, now GTF
27 Jun 2011 21:13:08
i cant beleive we have missed out on 3 free agents now these guys were only gona be squad players.. Fair enough but were now gonna have to pay a transfer fee along with a wage now to get other squad fillers we have cl qualifiers coming up i hope mr whyte knows the quality were gona be up against in these 2 rounds
27 Jun 2011 21:02:49
maybe the old board were right
no players in everyone snubbing us
think ali will not get very long
27 Jun 2011 20:55:36
if we get goodwillie i dont care who else we get or dont get - do i rate him too highly?
He is good but if he is all we signed we would have a massive problem at centre back and in the wide area of midfield.
GovanFR
27 Jun 2011 20:54:39
David goodwillie looks to be going to cardiff city instead of us
27 Jun 2011 20:31:16
Everyone seems to be getting upset re us not signing anyone yet , but last year when did we make our first signing and were did we come in the league ?
Jelavic didnt even sign til the 20th August , so dont see the mad panic , yes it would be good to get the players settled in now that pre-season training has started but most pros will be back training now or soon , so level of fitness should be good once we do sign and why rush into sign players then better ones become available near end of transfer window and we have no cash to spend and we have also forked out thousands on the player's wages already.
The players that the runner's up have signed were agreed in Jan , that's why they have signed , we didnt have any agreements done then unless Ally is keeping it secret ?
27 Jun 2011 20:23:20
Rumours of Alan Hutton's return may not be too far off the mark, apparently Spurs still owe Rangers £2M of the original fee, with add ons if he plays any further first team games. Only his personal terms would be a problem, but then money is not everybody's motivation.
BigGordi.
Ive heard this to, but there still a sell on clause in charlie adams contract i think its 20 percent, even more xtra money

According to your calculations gers and Mr Whyte will be shelling out over £9m on these players are you kidding whyte wont spend any where near that amount also which team will give us £2m for Edu did you see him play last year the fans booed him every game GET REAL
Dont talk sh#te Nobby £2m for Maurice Edu surely you're having a bubble mate , the guy is hopeless .
Lol I think you should re-do your calculations, work out money out and then take away money in. Its not difficult.
27 Jun 2011 20:19:49
RANGERSNEWS ,
Weeks ago I told of rumours regarding Mr whyte not paying more than 5-6k per week in wages , the evidence was hemed 6k, conway 5k , dann 5k , so today Gordon smith and Ally confirmed the club could not compete with Championship teams in wages.
Some fans need to realise we will be after mediocre players when teams like leicester city can afford better deals.
Mr whyte needs to know the honeymoon is over.............ASWEDE
So Whittaker 20k a week what was that?
GovanFR
27 Jun 2011 19:33:56
Why are the champions supporters taking panic attacks 54 here we come all them silly players who want to play for wee clubs its their lost. I don't want any panic buys rather ally and co take their time pick few players who want to pull the famous blue jersey on and become heroes we don't want money grabbers I'm from rathcoole and I've heard we might get johnny evans on loan hope its true just have patience we welcome the chase WATP
27 Jun 2011 19:25:06
Whyte and McCoist seem to get on really well and have talked about how well they've clicked, that would be unnecessary to make that up. I think so far we've tried the freebies that McCoist had thought of and obviously weren't massivly enthusastic to get them since Conway wasn't even offered a contract, Hemed wanted to play in a better league and Danns playing in the Championship didn't want to go to Celt*c either. Just wait and see still alot of buisness to be done. WATP.
27 Jun 2011 19:24:18
Roque santa cruz has never been a good player, , very overrated so dobt wisg for a dud like him please
I rekon santa cruz would score for fun here, only prob would be his mental wage demands due to him being so over-rated in prem league. i agree he's not an epl player but would score plenty up here
the tiger - beyond reproach
27 Jun 2011 18:21:10
Why would anyone choose Cardiff over rangers if they offer the same wages and are your boyhood club and play in the champions league and have just been taken over and your favourite player is managing and your family is close and you love the country so in this case mr Whyte, you just have to pay and then you will get the Best young striker in Scotland.
27 Jun 2011 18:09:30
Craig whyte better spend his money as promised as Neil danns signed for leister goodwille looks like going to Cardiff missed out on Conway what's happening need to get it sorted asap as not a happy bear
Come on get it sorted
27 Jun 2011 18:08:38
Ive got a feeling we are going to miss WATTY big time but the man we will miss most is BAIN, he brokered every deal and we never seemed to miss out on many players whilst signing many that have became stars. I fear we have no real money because it is a sad day when cardiff and leicester can take players that ALLY has come out and said he would like to bring to the club.
The old board could be proved correct in their judgement of this fella White, while i hope all is going to be well in the long run I have serious reservations myself now.
If we miss out on Cuellar questions must be asked...
27 Jun 2011 18:01:56
Not a rumour but I'm beginning to suspect the HMRC tax issue is the problem behind Rangers not getting anyone to sign. Who would want to sign for a club where the owner has admitted the club will go into administration if November' hearing goes against them?
Neil Dann, mediocre player at best chooses Leicester and the Championship before the Bears and European football. He knows he will never get an offer like that again.
I think the only players we will sign will be die hard Rangers supporters like Goodwillie or the desperate like Boyd.

27 Jun 2011 17:36:54
I'm starting to get worried for the season ahead, it seems we can't sign any of the players we are offering deals to The Israeli boy, Conway and now danns Wat kind of wages are we offering these boys Cardiff supposedly offered treble wat we did for Conway. I'm starting to fear that martin bain etc were right to be worried about how much wealth craig whyte has Davie w.a.t.p.
Yes we want these players but we should not be held to ransom, were lucky to still be a football club due to debt, watch these small clubs close their doors due to debt by the end of next season when they spend what they dont have, look at swansea. We have the basis of a reasonable squad to challange at home, a couple of good signings and we may get a few games in Europe
We never offered Conway a deal mate, the Israeli went to Spain for more wages, and we can't match the money on offer at leicester, or any other championship side NO Scottish side can, 'nthat rite my Celtic friend ?? I know u r watching Lol
27 Jun 2011 17:29:21
find it highly amusing that most of your posts are saying danns is crap did'nt want him anyway, two days ago you were all spouting about what a good signing he would be...make your minds up eh
I find it highly amusing that you're obsessed with Rangers... 3 seasons of pain and failure, I feel your pain son
I had never heard of him to comment whether he was good or bad, , the spl will struggle to attract any decent players as its rank rotten, why come here when you can play in even the championship?we are a laughing stock up here, , , keep on thinking we are big clubs, dream on
I agree , most people who wanted him have never seen him play or even heard of him until the papers or this website. If he is good then yes we will bid what we feel is right, but what we did noy have we will not miss, go on MC find us a few gems and bring the lads through
27 Jun 2011 17:28:22
It's a shame I'm not a betting man, because I called from the start we wouldn't get Danns or Hemed.
Likely be better off watching Linfield this season.
27 Jun 2011 17:24:31
david goodwillie is currently in ireland so no where near signing for cardiff. it is a smart move from dundee utd, to get us to hurry up cause they know rangers is the club he wants to go to so it will be a quick transfer. fleck will move to dundee utd on loan in a 1.2mil plus add ons. and WILL happen before there europa league qualifier. Regards to cuellar and bartley, bartley is likely to come on a loan deal with a view to perm but as already being stated he won't sign until august. cuellar is currently 50/50. rangers are waiting on the fee from charlie adam moving to liverpool to provide an acceptable offer to aston villa. lee wallace will sign within 1-2 weeks for 600,000. and other options are in the pipeline, thought to be a winger/playmaker and another versatile defender. Whittaker likely to leave after he is expected to reject the final offer from rangers and we have no other option but to sell him. A replacement will not be bought with broadfoot likely to become first team right back. and darren cole breaking through this year as back up
27 Jun 2011 16:35:11
I REALLY DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE GETTING SO PISSED OFF WE MISSED OUT ON CONWAY ..... HOW ? WE DIDINT EVEN OFFER A CONTRACT...... HEMED.... WAS NEVER GONA BE FIRST TEAM ........ DANNS WAS BACK UP ... SO STOP POSTING BS AND GET BEHIND RANGERS AT THE END OF THE DAY WHYTE SAID THE'LL BE ATLEST 6 PLAYERS IN SO JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF IT WASINT FOR WHYTE WE WOULD BE SELLING AND MOST LIKELY NOT BUYING SO JUST BE HAPPY WE ARE TRYING TO GET GUYS IN AND PLZ TRY BACK WHYTE CUZ AT THE END OF THE DAY HE SAVED US AND KNOW 1 CAN SAY HE DIDINT AS WE R MUCH BETTER OFF NOW THAN BE FOUR AND DO U GUYS REALLY WANT TO PAY OVER THE ODDS FOR SOME 1 SO PLZ FELLOW BEARS JUST GIVE IT TIME
ed am sure you agree people just need to be patient :)
{Ed010's Note -100% agree. Don't panic and be patient.
Stop shouting
So why were you lot saying they would be amazing signings if they were only back up?
27 Jun 2011 17:10:15
"To be a Ranger is to sense the sacred trust of upholding all that such a name means in this shrine of football. They must be true in their conception of what the Ibrox tradition seeks from them. No true Ranger has ever failed in the tradition set him." - awww ra best at Leceister Danns ya clown
Wow not bitter then
Don't even know the guy.... a 28-year old who's never played higher than the Championship, am I supposed to be gutted or something??
27 Jun 2011 17:07:35
As much as I'm a tad frustrated about losing out to these players, I understand that we should have a valuation structure and NOT break it. The reason we've been skint these past few seasons is because we DID pander to greed. We'll be fine
27 Jun 2011 17:03:55
We've nae money, we're a bawhair away fae getting shut down, HMRC are after us, we've nae players, McGregor, Bougherra, Whittaker, Davis, Jelavic are all leaving....
But guess whit Jungle Jims... It's going to be 4 In A Row lololololol
27 Jun 2011 17:03:36
27 Jun 2011 15:07:29
I am a little concerned. Not only because of our apparent failure to sign the aforementioned players but the relative silence from our new management team.
Mr Whyte has come out and said don't panic etc but Ally and the team are noticeable by their silence. If Ally came out and said he has the money he needs and is still confident then would we not be more at ease?
In Ally we trust (Mr Whyte....not so much)
Bluegenius
(1) (1)
Blue, I agree wholeheartedly mate, I for one am a very concerned bear Is this the situation that Alistair Johnson was talking about?
Surely we should be asking the question why Danns hasn't joined us? Relegation scrap last season, this season potential Champions League football? What on earth is going on? Whittaker looks like he may jump ship, my concern grows daily, come on Mr Whyte please put your money where your mouth is
(0) (0)
And as if by magic.....Ally comes out with a statement He says he and big gord aint worried
You would think I had known there was a statement imminent?................Nah just jammy
Looks like Ally has bought you some time Mr Whyte

27 Jun 2011 17:00:27
does anyone agree if david murray was still in charge the guys we where interested in would have been on the back page wearing a gers strip days ago, im not a doom merchant but as time goes by im getting even more unconvinced with this guy whyte, something aint right with this guy and the way hes trying to conduct things.
After reading all Whytes crap in the Sun last week i started to belive the guy had the Gers in his heart but now im starting to wonder again. How could Danns pick Leicester over us? If we dont get 2 big name signings then he is no better than Lloyds bank were or would have been Come Craig put us out of our misery sign some players on the 1st of july or tell us what your intentions really are or who your fronting for... sausage bear
{Ed010's Note -evening sausage bear, instead of us all getting caught up in the complexities of why Danns signed for Leicester and not for Rangers, may I suggest a very simple reason for him doing so.
I may be well off the mark but if Ally told Danns that he sees him as a squad player and if Sven tells Danns that he is going to be a first team regular, which club is he going to sign for ? Would he not pick the club who have promised him first team football ?
Yeh ed i thought of that but are we deluding ourselves ? It seems every Bosman we go after go somewhere else for more money ( can we blame them..short career and all that) but these are guys who command no fee should be easily placed in our salary structure....god they can expect win bonus nearly every game and they wont get that with Cardiff or leicester or any other team in England that signs them...sausage bear
{Ed010's Note -fair point
Haha, do you really believe Sally wanted to sign him as a squad player? You're deluded.....Miko
27 Jun 2011 16:51:05
Hmmmmm...
Too early to slate Whyte I guess. Perhaps he is being smart, will use his cash well, and suprise us all with a few top notch buys.
On the other hand, why declare your interest in players, when you have just taken over and looking to get the season ticket holders on side, then lose out on those very players AFTER you have had your face in the papers saying you want them
Hmmmmmm...
27 Jun 2011 16:44:06
According to the evening times, we are to make Whittaker "another " final offer, now I'm sorry, but if this guy can't accept a major hike in wages to stay at the Champs then bye bye and remember where you came from before being invited to leave the Hibs and given the chance to win trophies, see ye Stevie Get Foster back from the wee lambs up north and lets move on Rangers.
Got ot agree with this post, , whitty is just ok, nuffin special, , defensively he is lacking and foster is not far short for a lot less money, , goodbye whittty, go to turkey then cry two months down the line when yer family cannae settle ya dobber
{Ed010's Note -just a thought on this whole Whittaker affair. Does anyone think that the reason Ally is so keen to tie Whittaker down to a new contract is because he is so versatile. Last season, Whittaker player at right back, centre half and also in midfield. Whether he is average or not, players who are so versatile are a bonus to the manager.
He's not a great player but he's became an important player for us. If it wasn't outta necessity and we had a bigger/better squad then I doubt I would start him. He is versatile and regardless of how good he is we would have been lost without him.
But in any other team I'd rate him as OK at best.
27 Jun 2011 16:40:56
c'mon gers fans lets get behind the team, so far the only players we have shown any interest in publicly have been free transfers or players that we could possibly get on the cheap. these players would be squad players only. trust in ally that he'll get the main players that he wants and is not making these players publicly known until the deals are done.
in ally we trust.
Spot on That's the market you're dealing in.......you're skint....Miko
27 Jun 2011 16:35:16
Dear Mr Whyte,
I rate our team very highly and look forward to seeing them next season at Ibrox
However I do not think your valuation of watching them is realistic therefore I will only be offering you £300 for my season ticket. This is my valuation of the ticket.
I fully expect you to honour this deal as you clearly see this as a viable way of doing business for our club
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Your Sincerely
Bluegenius
...................................;)
Kidding obviously but come on Mr Whyte, finger out
27 Jun 2011 16:15:04
So I take it that Craig Whyte doesn't have the fund to offer half decent wages then or even a small transfer fees for Goodwillie and Cuellar.
Where is this "war chest" whyte promised
he is lying to the rangers fans
27 Jun 2011 16:13:33
thats us lost out on danns aswell now. im not overly concerned as i didnt think hed add much to the team anyway. was jus wonderin if ppl have any opinion on y were losn out on these players? have we got bigger fish 2 fry ie cuellar, r we nt offering enough wages or is thr anothr problem? As i said, im nt overly concerned and am sure well gt a number of players in. jus think its strange tht these guys r chosn mediocre teams instead of the champions. in Ally we trust. thoughts plz
true bllue
No, It's Aston Villa wanting the money. As far as I know Cuellar has agreed terms.
27 Jun 2011 16:11:32
Regarding Danns;
"That's life, " said McCoist. "There's no point in worrying about things you can't do anything about. We want players who want to play for Rangers.
"The majority of players you go for, you don't get; you have to accept that in management.
"You have to have backup plans, which we do."
Well said Ally
GovanFR
27 Jun 2011 16:05:09
There are players out there that want to sign for us; Bartley, Weiss and Cuellar have all expressed a desire to come to Rangers. Lets focus on them. I'm confident Lee Wallace would sign. If we sign these four plus say Wilson on loan and Goodwillie then we will be fine.
Weiss £2.5 m
Bartley £1.5 m
Cuellar £2.5 m
Goodwillie £1.8m
Wallace £700k
Out
Bougherra £2 m
You will not get more than 1 million for Bougherra.
27 Jun 2011 15:57:46
Why are Celtic fans gloating because Rangers didn't push through the transfer and another team came in and showed more desire to get him. Rangers are champions, we'll sign some players, all this speculation. Now let's move on to Lee Wallace if he doesn't sign it will be a bit of a joke lol. Rangers forever.
If Lee Wallace is our "marquee" signing we really are in trouble. Whyte is penny pinching and does not trust Ally hence bringing in smith, silence is deafening from mccoist over smith joining rumour is ally will be gone by christmas
27 Jun 2011 15:26:51
I think everyone needs to calm down a little Just because Rangers express an interest in a player, doesn't mean they are our No.1 Target or main transfer of the summer and if we don't secure him its all doom and gloom Let Hemed, Conway, Danns and even Goodwillie go, at the end of the day it's their lose Craig Whyte stated he will give McCoist money to spend, not to through away at greedy average players. Like every other Rangers Fan, Whyte wants what is best for our Football Club. Relax, enjoy being CHAMPIONS and I have no doubt Rangers FC will have fresh faces, the right ones, and I'm sure we will welcome the chase

27 Jun 2011 15:22:06
My thoughts at the present time are a bit ropey
but Im wondering what mr whyte is actually doing about all this nonsense we are getting in the press etc mostly justified Id say I was just wondering if he was in argentina for the fire sale at river plate fc there are bound to be a number of" bargains" there for sweeties.. which is all we seem to have at the moment Im gobsmacked by the whole thing I dont know what else to say.
27 Jun 2011 15:10:37
this is becomin a total joke thats danns not joinin us now just like conway and goodwillie looks another player we are gonna miss out on so much for us havin money whyte all mouth and deffo no action
27 Jun 2011 15:07:32
celtic havent set the heather alight with there signings have they.lets have faith super ally to get the job done heres to 4 in a row
Well said.....54
McCoist will be gone by christmas whyte does not trust him
Whyte does trust McCoist. I actually trust McCoist more than Whyte.
27 Jun 2011 15:07:29
I am a little concerned. Not only because of our apparent failure to sign the aforementioned players but the relative silence from our new management team.
Mr Whyte has come out and said don't panic etc but Ally and the team are noticeable by their silence. If Ally came out and said he has the money he needs and is still confident then would we not be more at ease?

Take a look @ the official rangers website and check out what Ally McCoist is saying on there, he seems a lot more upbeat than I would have thought. Perhaps our bigger targets are Goodwillie, Cuellar, Wallace, Bartley and some others after all, he more says as much, trying to remain a patient Bear here
27 Jun 2011 15:06:36
serious note here- looks like ally's whole transfer list for the summer has been ripped up, does it concern rangers fans that he has spent so much time and effort on all these players that any that follow now will be panic bought with little research. while celtic missed out on loads of players last year they where still bringing in ours of decent quality.
27 Jun 2011 15:05:37
Hello I said this would happen but Im genuinely
sorry for you bears about this situation Ally is a gentleman and a rangers man through and through as Im sure you all are I dont know where we go from here is Mr whyte trying to get
ally to resign for some purpose or has he got some misguided Idea that its like any of the other businesses he, s been involved in?We can all tell him its not- and if the expectations go unanswered
that could spell a big decline in the clubs fortunes
sadly that seems to be how it is...I think we should call on mr whyte for some kind reassurances and also I trust ally mcoists honesty
Id like to hear what his thoughts are about what has transpired so far....
27 Jun 2011 15:39:30
I dinnae want Goodwillie at Rangers, I think he's a liability and I'm bored hearing about him. He's looked a bit of a player for a season, maybe two in the SPL. That's it, he's won f*ck all, achieved f*ck all and has one Scotland cap as a sub against the faroes. 2 mil, aye right we've got better at the club already.
Naismith had won "f**k all" and achieved "f**k all" before he came to us and look at him now. It's not about what you have won it's about the potential. We don't have the funds to sign highly decorated players in their prime so these are the guys we have to target. I would be glad to see Goodwillie at Ibrox as long as he knuckles down.

27 Jun 2011 15:35:24

27 Jun 2011 15:01:48
Danns is not very ambitious is he ? Leicester, lol, they will continue to be a mid table club, good luck ya muppet.
We'll see
Leicester on the up you well downward spiral i think
27 Jun 2011 14:52:21
To Celtic fans gloating that we havn't signed the players that have been mentioned, we are champions, Rangers have sold top goalscorers half way through a season etc and still gone on to win the league and cups. It's the Rangers way. We all know what the Celtic way is.
We are the champions, this isn't defiance, this is knowing everythings going to work out fine

U may think I am crazy but I think if we could get james beattie fit over pre season he could do a job for us, only problem there is I don't think he will break up jellyfish and lafferty and maybe this is why SUPER ALLY is relucant to pay 2mill for goodwillie also the young boy kane hemmings who has been on bench couple of times I know they have high hopes for also we have naismith who can play up front so put your dummies back in and stop worrying about lack of signings because they will come and hands up who had heard of neil danns anyway, I actually had as I watch any football on tv and he is a good player but think of the amount of so called good players that have come to IBROX and done f*** all SO IN THE WORDS OF THE GREAT MARVIN ANDREWS KEEP BELEIVING BECAUSE WE ARE THE PEOPLE
YES you ARE crazy he did not score once for us, OR Blackpool................. lay off the whacky backy.A bigger concern is now the quality of player we will be left with attemting to sign, and how many of them could be loan deals just like last season, and I just wonder if G.Smith and A.Russell were included in the £12 mil BUDGET. A concerned wee BEAR here.......Rangers 'til I die
You r correct he did not score for us how many games did he play for us and f*** blackpoo, l I stopped smoking waccy baccy a long time ago but I know this 1 of the few games he did play for us was when he came on as a sub at inverness and he changed the game and won the penalty that miller missed also set up goal we scored in that game so as I say when he is fit he could make a difference so keep your concerns wee bear because big bears don't have any concerns
27 Jun 2011 14:32:42
Where do you people get this from? Johnny evans coming to Rangers? Johnny Evans is on atleast 40k a week.. But aye? Were gawny pay that when we couldn't afford Neil Danns contract.. Wake up and smell the roses So delusional
BigEss
To be honest some of the names getting thrown about are daft but I don't think the Jonny Evans thing is daft. I think Rangers would pay what they think the player is worth as we have found out recently and Jonny Evans is worth paying another couple grands wages and he's a Rangers fan born and bred.
27 Jun 2011 14:27:14
Ok this is getting rediculous now Craig Whyte has to realize that if he isn't going to pay the going rate for good players these days then he's not going to get one He says he's ready to invest heavily in the squad but doesn't seem to want to pay the asking price for anyone Might as well hand THEM the title next season if this continues.
I'm handing THAT nothing mate, I would play a team of one legged grannies before I'd concede anything to THAT lot, we were too good for them last season and we are the CHAMPIONS, no dough 4 nro girut
27 Jun 2011 14:20:41
Rangers to miss out in all the players there a link with. Due to whyte being a tight ass with wages. And can see us panic buying before the start of the season
27 Jun 2011 14:17:19
Barry Robson wants to come back to the SPL but only if its rangers or celtic....guys do you think ally mccoist should look into this he would surley beef up the midfield and has a crackin left foot
27 Jun 2011 14:16:01
Rangers are beginning to look a farse in the transfer Market. If we can't get the likes of Danns or Conway were in deep trouble.
Gaz
Gaz how is it a farce?transfer window doent open until july 1st and how many new about neil danns before he was linked with us i didnt big rab by the way
Its getting embarrising now
27 Jun 2011 14:13:04
First team priorities should be as follows.
First position to strengthen is centre back, a replacement for Weir (it won't be Cuellar).
Then we can look at 1 centre mid and 1 winger or striker.
Personally I think Goodwillie would get 20 odd in the SPL but isn't going to be dangerous in Europe. Aim higher. I'd be happy with Naismith up front and a good fast winger signed.

27 Jun 2011 14:12:57
Hemed, Conway, Danns & probably Goodwillie, i believe we are just putting up a smokescreen, we had no intention of signing them anyway, this was a trick to throw celtic off our real signings, which just so happens to be while they are in Australia. The real signings will be of a better standard.
Or it could just be that all your top targets didnt want to sign with you for pennies compared to english champ money. i would be a bit worried if your "smokescreen" list are rejecting you given they are inferior quality to your "real" list lol get a grip mate
Were celtic not interested in Danns aswell but did your lot get him ? Rangers have only been talking to these players but nothing concrete was put on the table but i guess quite rightly these players wanted their futures sorted asap.
Rangers fans keep saying no offers were made to Danns, conway, goodwillie, hemed WAKE UP Mr mccoist has spent WEEKS on these players trying to persuade them to go to Ibrox Be honest with yourselves whyte is playing you lot for fools
Do you think rangers spoke to them in the hope they wouldnt sign?open your eyes lad.
27 Jun 2011 13:03:23
Been reading a few articles on Sky Sports Transfer Centre, and one that has caught my eye is one which regards Marseille and France striker Andre-Pierra Gignac. He was signed for a reported £16million last summer but scored only 8 goals last season and the president of the club is believed to be willing to consider a transfer or a loan as he has not lived up to expectations. Now, I realise it is a hell of a long shot, but a seasons loan for this guy in the SPL would do wonders for his confidence as he would score 25-30 goals no problem. He is a big powerful centre forward, fast, strong and excellent in the air. He would also have the opportunity to play in the Champions League and show what he can do at that level once again.
Any thoughts ed?
{Ed010's Note -reading your post suddenly made me think what had happened to that guy. I remember a couple of years ago when he was with Toulouse, Arsenal and Man Utd were rumoured to be interested in him. He eventually signed for Marseille but as you say, he hasn't done so well with them. If we were to sign him on loan, I agree, he would score at least 20 goals this season.
Perhaps you should sent an email to Ally McCoist suggesting such a move. lol
Scores 8 goals in france but he would defo score 25-30 in SPL. Surely the SPL is not inferior to French League to simply justify this statement. Flo was signed for 12mill at his peak and couldnt do it, valuations of players means nothing in SPL.
Flos goals to game ratio for rangers was second to none so did live up to the standard so talking s**te I see

Another signing rangers have been beaten to as palace have signed neil danns. Keep the faith not long till the window opens. That's when the real movement will start
BGRFC
Whats the window got to do with anything, players are already moving about britain. your failure to bring in players has nothing to do with a window its to do with not paying the going rate. you could have signed conway and danns if so and done and dusted deas on goodwillie, wallace and cuellar
27 Jun 2011 13:33:55
According to BBC website, Leicester have signed Neil Danns. Another one that got away I didn't join in with the pessimism to start with but it is getting slightly frustrating now.

27 Jun 2011 13:33:03
All these rumours... i dont think 95% of them r true.. rangers starting tem nxt season i think
1 Mcg
2 new signing
3 papac
4 Bougie
5 bartley
6 Mccul
7 Davis
8 Ness
9 Jelavic
10 Laff
11 Naismith
12 Wylde
13 alexander
14 new signing.. young def
15 fleck
16 new signing young striker..
we arnt gonna get r targets.. as we see.. the best i think we will do. is give sum of r lads new deals.. and bring in a few young lads... sad times when 1st div england can get r targets
27 Jun 2011 13:31:57
Im not overly worried about danns, hemed or conway. I dont think any of them wouldve been regular starters anyway. BUT Goodwillie at 2 million is a bargain Nicky Maynard is valued at 5 million and Goodwillies the better player. Forget "your" valuation Craig Whyte and buy him. The league starts in less than a month and our squad as it stands is even smaller than last seasons
27 Jun 2011 13:28:43
leicester sign danns. bbc sport
i'm begining to feel the trust for whyte ebb away
27 Jun 2011 13:27:28
So we can't compete with Leicester for players now? Anyone else starting to get a little concerned?
You do know leicester are pretty loaded now tho right ?
27 Jun 2011 13:26:02
so neil danns is off to leicester city.
yet another player who has turned us down.
anyone know who we're looking for midfield/attack now?
JM
27 Jun 2011 13:24:34
starting ta worry abit here 1st Hemed. then Conway. now Danns.. + the 1s we dont hear about do we need Martin Bains to tye up deals ?. seems that way.. thought we had money .
27 Jun 2011 13:22:29
1st it was hemed then it was conway now it looks like goodwilie danns hasn't been offered a contract n the board still expect us to buy season tickets we are at least 5 players away from competing with hearts never mind selik
27 Jun 2011 13:19:15
That's neil danns having medical at Leicester What is going on mr whyte , I am starting to gave grave doubts about you . If we want someone go and get them stop this farting about you are making us a bigger laughing stock than before . At least before we knew we had no money and did not expect signings
27 Jun 2011 13:09:06
If what we are hearing today regarding current transfer business is correct re danns goodwillie bartley etc I think we will get a reaction from ally mcoist to the tying of his hands by mr whyte now
we will have to wait and see but I know the manager
of a football club like Rangers used to be- would not have to be treated like this..it puts alastair in a bad light and hes too good a guy to be messed about
so Im just saying again ..what are you playing at mr whyte?
27 Jun 2011 13:02:50
Danns has signed for leicester. Another one bites the dust folks and murph is goin to cardiff wae goodie. By the looks of it we will do well even just to get sebo in. Whats happening to us whyte?
27 Jun 2011 12:25:44
I personally would like to see Scott McDonald sign for Rangers. I know he played for Celtic and is a Celtic fan, but let's not forget he was always professional playing against them for Motherwell, not least in 2005 when he won us the title. He was always a big threat in Old Firm games and I was glad to see the back of him. Knows where the goal is, is fast, works hard and would be a great foil for Jelavic.
Any thoughts ed?
Steven
Nah, couldnae suffer seeing his petted lip on the bench every week.
27 Jun 2011 13:14:10
Neil Danns has signed for leicester today, comfirmed by bbc sport. As much as I hate to say this, Im not sure we will be signing anyone this year, it is becoming more and more obvious that Mr Whyte does not have the funds
I agree, he seems to be trying to stick to the 8k wage limit. But in a day when money means more to playing in the CL and winning medals he needs to get his finger out
27 Jun 2011 12:59:38
A total disgrace, losing out on Danns to Leicster is not acceptable. How do Rangers expect fans like myself to keep shelling out season ticket money when we do not have a team to go and watch.
This is a shame, Danns is a superb player and would have made a huge impact in Scotland.
We are going to be left with a small squad again and complaints of lack of numbers, whyte has to get his act together.
Calm Doon... Neil Who ??
He's average... we will sign better than him no problem.
Keep the faith, early days.
Average eh two days ago you were all saying how good he is, especially as it looked like you were getting one over on the dark side
27 Jun 2011 12:54:09
Looks like that is another player we have lost out on this is getting to be a joke Danns has just signed for leicster source bbc sport.
Get a grip Whyte where is the cash £££

27 Jun 2011 12:54:04
just met ally in bhead and told me the 4 players he was going to sign spending 8.25 million ...and then i woke up
27 Jun 2011 12:46:06
CARDIFF CITY are edging closer to completing a deal for David Goodwillie after upping their offer for the Dundee United striker.
The news will come as a blow to Ally McCoist, the Rangers manager, who faces a fight to land midfielder Neil Danns, who is understood to have been made an attractive offer from Bolton Wanderers.
Meanwhile, McCoist expects to know today whether a deal can be done with Aston Villa to bring back Carlos Cuellar.
(Extract from Scottish Herald 27/06/11)
27 Jun 2011 12:41:35
We firstly should put major effort in for 2 players we know can do a job for us, Bartley and Weiss, Bartley can play in various roles and Weiss has that wee flash that can turn games, and just as important they seemed to love it with us and had the balls to deal with the other half.
27 Jun 2011 12:10:27
RANGERSNEWS,
Target neil danns has chosen leicester city over Rangers , hes has been offered 7k per week seemingly Mr whyte offer 5k .....
If thats the wages we are paying now we will be signing players from the rest of the scottish league , forget this crap about cuellar it aint happening...... ASWEDE.
Whyte does not trust ally with his money
Mate i agree, wrote a week ago it ain't going to happen. cuellurs agent said in a interview " Even if aston villa accept a bid from rangers they are still 15 grand apart on wages" This transfer window is getting very embarrassing. Rangers are trying to do deals at the lower end, this is fine if you get the players but it is not happening. We are going to have no players signed and it will be a rush at the end of the transfer window and we will get the player no one else wants.
By the way it's considerably more than 7k in fact about 7k more than your offer
27 Jun 2011 11:49:08
SKY SPORTS TRANSFER CENTRE :
:: "Leicester to land midfielder ahead of Rangers"
AND
:: "Cardiff reported to be favourites to win the chase for striker" (Goodwillie)
Now this is getting beyond a joke now, the media basically saying last week that both these players had basically signed for us now look at these headlines .. mr whyte has to sort his wallet out .. this guy is making our wonderful team into an embarressment - £2m for a player we have wanted for seasons, and he says thats too expensive AND WE ARE CHAMPIONS 3 YEARS RUNNING he's a joke
I agree Whyte is not keeping any of his promises reagarding transfer "war chest his penny pinching philosophy is making gers a laughing stock
27 Jun 2011 11:48:41
how much approx. would kyle bartley costs to get on a permanent deal?
Personally i would say something between 2 million and 1.5 million. But Craig Whyte will say hes worth 500k
27 Jun 2011 11:45:58
27 Jun 2011 11:09:06
right so it looks like we might miss out on goodwillie and danns ffs is this what its goin to be like now? "oh well we want this guy that guy and that guy but we will not pay anywhere near the price you want. get a grip mr whyte and spend some money
Bears , calm down , had any of us heard of Danns b4 , if he wants to sign for Leicester let him , it's his loss not ours , shows you that all that matters to players like him is money , what's he going to win there , NOTHING , they will go bust again as Sven is useless.
Goodwillie , would be a good signing but what happens if he is found guilty , which could easily happen , he could be sent down 4 years , so I understand why Whyte is nervous about spending 2 mil on him.
I realise that but seems to be all about the money with others tho. i just feel this thing with whyte saying he's giving ally £5m for tranfers and £5m wages
Could not agree with more with previous reply, who is Danns, he certainly is not some kind of superstar, we lose him so what, there are more around who want to pull the jersey on, we WILL make decent signings.
Leicester will not go bust we have more money than you mate and if we get promoted which there is a good chance of we'll have s**t loads more money than you
27 Jun 2011 11:24:32
Neil Danns to sign for Leicester - having medical this afternoon (sky sport news).
Disappointing that we are losing playesr who want to join over money, Hemed, Goodwillie, Danns. Mr Whyte, get the chequebook out
Simmo
27 Jun 2011 11:15:18
Danns set for Leicster City, according to sky sports. Thats 3 now we've missed out on... Cuellar will be next.
27 Jun 2011 11:11:00
Looks like Rangers have lost out on Danns, on his way to the Walkers stadium Are we gonna sign anyone before pre season?

danns to be unveiled as a leicester city player in the coming days, medical is imminent. Seems we now lose out to mid table championship sides also. - source sky sports news. Mr whyte, time for talking is over and action badly needed
27 Jun 2011 10:53:27
danns to leicester source SSN
seriously this is getting shocking goodie to cardiff SSN also. does whyte have any money?
27 Jun 2011 10:45:53
Skysports.com understands that Leicester City are set to win the race to sign Neil Danns.
The 28-year-old midfielder is available on a Bosman transfer as his contract with Crystal Palace is set to expire and he has decided to leave Selhurst Park.
A host of clubs have been chasing the former Blackburn and Birmingham man, with both of the Old Firm, Celtic and Rangers, holding talks.
Interest in England has been strong with the likes of Bolton, Hull City and Southampton all understood to have made moves for him.
But Sven Goran Eriksson looks to have persuaded Danns that his future is best served at the Walkers Stadium.
Skysports.com understand that Danns is now due in the East Midlands to undergo a medical ahead of completing a deal with the Championship club.
27 Jun 2011 10:43:50
Sky sports are reporting that danns is going to Leicester City. Another one bits the dust.Mr White the rangers fans are starting to get fed up with this. Give us some good news or do not report every tranfer target to the media.
I think some of you on here need to calm down. Can you honestly say you wanted or even really heard of Danns before we were rumoured to be after him. Have you ever asjkked yourself the question why he is going to the championship and not EPL or chance of playing in CL ? It's all down to money and we don't want people just to come and play for us out of cash. I would rather have players like Davis and Naismith who are Rangers at heart. I bet you that Davis accepts the first contract we offer him because its not about money for him. It's about living the dream. Mr Whyte has money but why break our wage structure for a guy that played for Crystal Palace ? At least this way we know who is after the money and who wants to win trophies and play for Rangers in the champions league.
Hey pal WHAT WAGE STRUCTURE this guy Whyte is offering £8k - £10k a week to TOP PLAYERS an Insult. "billionaire" whyte needs to loosens his pursestrings anyway it looks like he does not trust ally over signings or he would back ally's judgement
What rangers men like whittiker who has turned down 3 contract offers. dont make me laugh if another half decent club tops you offer to your players by 10-20 grand they will be , rangers men or not, money talks- mr whyte walks
Get a grip mate, the man's not built up a fortune over the years to come in and start chucking his money around. What are you all about? just because he's a billionare doesn't mean he's got a big piggy bank wi a billion in it to spend on toys. He made that money by being prudent. Sounds like just the fella we need. We were financially screwed a couple of months ago and I dinnae want to go back there
27 Jun 2011 09:34:16
Getting worried now How can players choose championship football over winning titles playing in champions league . Good league but can't get my head around players these day's . Got to push the boat out get Goodwillie and Cuellar but Bartley looking like a no go ( Daily Record )
27 Jun 2011 09:18:42
Goodwillie scored for dutd last night, and Cardiff lead the hunt, DRecord. get a shift on Gers. Rangers til I die
27 Jun 2011 08:51:11
Come on Mr Whyte shows us the money
27 Jun 2011 08:30:39
Latest article from Sky Sports Transfer Centre regarding Goodwillie.
Dundee United manager Peter Houston has confirmed talks have been held with other clubs regarding in-demand striker David Goodwillie.
Skysports.com revealed last week that Rangers had made an approach for Goodwillie before Houston suggested the 22-year-old would be 'too expensive' for the SPL champions.
Reports suggest United want £2million for Goodwillie, with Championship rivals Blackpool and Cardiff City also keen on the Scotland international.
Cardiff are rumoured to be favourites to win the chase and, speaking after the 2-1 win friendly win over Drogheda United on Sunday, Houston confirmed chairman Stephen Thompson has been contacted by interested parties.
"The chairman has been speaking to a couple of clubs, but no agreement has been reached with anyone, " said Houston.
Flood recommendation
Goodwillie scored in the win over Drogheda and his United team-mate Willo Flood has advised the forward to join Cardiff.
Flood, who spent two-and-a-half years on Cardiff's books, told the Daily Record: "If I were Goody I would go to England because at least he would have a life outside of football.
"I would recommend Cardiff to Goody. It's a good club and he would enjoy living down there.
"They have great staff who would look after him. They've got a new stadium and training ground. If they were to get promoted to the Premiership, football in Wales would hit the roof."
27 Jun 2011 07:38:23
Not a rumour just an observation do you think that Mr whyte is waiting on the sale of charlie adam to go ahead with the purchase of cuellar & Goodwillie? As he stated Gers are after 6 players and if goodwillie 2 million And big Cuellar 3 million not much left to buy anymore. I know that there will be free transfers (bosmans) but don't think they will all be. Also on a personal note goowillie & Cuellar not worth the full price, but this again is teams seeing us now have money and lets fleece us. Look what happened with the flo carry on.
27 Jun 2011 01:50:05
Im starting to think now does craig whyte have the funds for rangers to spend in the transfer window becuse everything he has said we are still waiting on this is the 3rd player Rangers are about to lose out on . until he shows us first i am not beleving anything the man has to say
