ed, what are the possible ins and outs mate. im sick of readin daft arse post next il see Messi is talkin about a loan deal at rangers. i heard a wee rumour that we were lookin at HSV's RW Petroitha? (unsure on the spelling)

{Ed010's Note -Sorry to be a killjoy here but the reality of the situation is that I genuinely don't know who will be leaving and who will be arriving. Ally McCoist will not be going public on any of the transfer targets before they are signed up, whether that is an actual transfer or just a loan deal. There may be more chance of him going public in revealling players who will be leaving, simply as a way, of placing them in the shop window. With the transfer window not opening for another 5 weeks, I wouldn't expect there to be a hive of activity before then, so there will continue to be rumours and speculation, manifesting themselves on a daily basis, some could be near to the truth and others way off the mark.

With regards to your information, I have done a little research and can only come up with a 25 years old Burkina Faso winger/midfielder who goes by the name of Jonathan Pitroipa. In any case, it is a new name to me and to my knowledge, not one previously linked to Rangers.

the rumours on this site are absolutely shocking. people who can't even spell RANGERS players names, making up the dumbest rumours ever. the best has to be rafael and fabio to rangers for 'experience'. come on! or people saying they know ally mccoists dads neighbours brother in laws grandson. im surprised half of these rumours even make it on the page. be realistic and not just blabber utter nonsense. ally knows who he wants and the only ones to be concrete so far is an approach for vaughan. and he's also the only player to say he has had contact with rangers.

You're just a kill joy. I'll bet you invite people over for a party, ask them to leave at ten pm and hide their booze. If you don't like it don't read it and go and do something more valuable with your time. It's called a banter page.

Why is when people see a free agent they automatically link them with rangers. Ally knows who his targets are, some of the names we are being linked with would hold the club to randsome in wages. I think we need to bring in sensible players , if we can i think we should try and go for are :-

Upson- wages maybe too high.
snodgrass
conway- Squad player
carew- wages again maybe too high
gatusso- would play for free if need be
Goodwillie
vaughan
mackail smith

Upson and Carew (especially): wages 'maybe' too high. Try definitely.

Yes that's true but could you not use some of your transfer kitty so subsidise there wages . That would be 2 quality signings. I looked into a list of free agents this summer and the list is shocking i mean theres some real talent out there and i don't just mean Britain

Did Conway not say he didn't want to play in Scotland next season ? ed maybe u can help on this one :)

{Ed010's Note -Craig Conway has always maintained that he wants to play at the highest level possible but whether that will turn out to be in Scotland or England, only time will tell.

Hope that we don't resign kenny miller, have never seen a player caught offside so much in my life.(most offsides in champs league )

So wen he no offside he got a mean eye for goal half a season n he was top scorer n u wouldn't take him bk we would b relegated if u were the gaffer lol oj m8

To be fair to miller he, s always played right on the last mans shoulder, awrite i agree he does get caught a lot of the time but you, ve got o weigh that up with his goal return, think the old saying is if you don't buy a ticket

I dunno going by the CL final Hernandez could be a rival for most offside player. I certainly wouldn't take Miller back if we had to pay a fee for him.

Any idea how much templeton would cost ed?

{Ed010's Note -According to www.transfermrkt.co.uk, David Templeton is listed as being in the price range, £880,000 to £1,000,000

Ed, where does this site get their valuations?

{Ed010's Note -To be honest I have no idea but it does make interesting reading. Just don't look at Nikica Jelavic's valuation. LOL

I was just wondering if there is any authenticity in the valuations

29 May 2011 19:15:19
david vaughan has stated he has a tough decision between champs league an premiership not once did he say he wants champs league with us
he also said he will decide in next week or 2 FACT

his interveiw

Might depend on money too. Rangers can't match Premier League wages. Or Championship wages, for that matter.

29 May 2011 18:39:53
Ed any idea how much mackail smith would costt?

{Ed010's Note -Nothing. He is out of contract on 30 June 2011 unless Peterborough release him sooner.

Ed am sorry he aint out of contract an is quoted at 3.5m with a host of clubs after him in championship and everton and norwich

{Ed010's Note -I honestly didn't know when his contract expired so I checked him out on Wikipedia and took my information from there. The article reads......

"Scoring 35 goals, the most prolific scorer in England in the 2010-11 season. Mackail-Smith contract runs out at the end of the season, but Mackail-Smith ended his time at Posh well. Scoring the second goal in the 3-0 win against Huddersfield at Old Trafford to clinch promotion to the nPower Championship, on the 29th May, 2011".

Tsk tsk Ed. Wikipedia as a source good source? Several other sources state that it's next year his contract runs out.

{Ed010's Note -Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways, not my glaring mistake but the fact, that I used Wikipedia. LOL Cheers Ed10

Mackail-Smith's contract is up on 30/06/11 so Ed, you were right, even with your less than reputable source

{Ed010's Note - NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I just deleted the Wikipedia bookmark LOL

Thanks for the "banter!. Cheers Ed10

goodwillie, vaughan.conway, bartley, foster.diouf, weissgers have shown intrest and there is the frees that you would imagine we could look at the likes of mc fadden bowyer nigel reo coker john carew chris burke etc

I wouldn't take any of those players cept carew and his wages would b a bit heavy and weiss has already said he dvery much doubts he will b bk this season butpromises hel b back atsum stage

29 May 2011 16:58:07
I don't think that barry ferg will come back to gers as he was told that to sign he had to smile for the cameras & flatly refused

29 May 2011 16:18:41
i would love ferguson to come back to rangers but i think its probably not going to happen due to all that happened towards the end of his 2nd spell thanks to the scottish media

ins- goodwillie, conway, snodgrass, mcgregor, boyd (from peterborough), foster, cueller

posibilitys - ferguson, healy, murphy, douglas the brazilian, tomer, husklepp

out - bougherra, weir, little (loan), cole (loan), lafferty might be able to cash in on him only because im not his biggest fan even though he scored that hatrick to win us the title {Ed010's Note

Dont b silly big lafferty going no where why would ally sell him wen he starting to show how good a player he can be ?

Big kyles gona bust boyds record nxt season. .im glad we have him. .hes going no where.big mistake to let him go

Kyle is rank rotten an we shd take the money an run he alwasy finishes the season with a goal glut like last 3 years but he is a headcase

29 May 2011 15:47:44
Hullo My blue nosed friends can't wait to see what the dream team will do with the 5m yes 5 million pounds Mr Wright sorry S**TE has sanctioned for the mighty gers they will be a force again face it lads the gloom will return 5 fold should be 10 but never mind pax vobiscum

{Ed010's Note -Thanks for your insight into our transfer budget because for so far, it has all been media speculation and conjecture. It was revealed by Mr Whyte, that should he become the new Rangers owner, that he would give Ally McCoist £5m over the next 5 years to invest in new players. Soon after the takeover, Walter Smith went public in expressing his view that Ally would need considerably more than £5m in the first season, a view that Mr Whyte agreed with and again went public on that issue. It is just a question of what, "considerably more than £5m" actually means but quite obviously you have inside information, my Celtic friend.

Even if Ally is given £5m and not a penny more, we Rangers fans are safe in the knowledge that Mr Lennon spent double that amount last year in the hope of "buying" the SPL title and failed miserably. So I really can't see why you should be so worried about our club, when we have been the league champions over the last 3 seasons and done so on a comparitive, shoe string budget.

Oh yes and "Peace be with you" my Celtic friend, that's English by the way, not Latin lol

The Whyte Knight may not be what you think WHO owns your club? 86% 5 million that will be it Mogadon left our club our club in a mess but we are back the best squad we have had for a long time.

What do we need a transfer budget for anyway?. whos chasing us?. the beggers. .lol. .send the same 14 men out next year aswell. theres no competition.celtics 2 teams.lol. ed its so funny im laughin my donards off. .to me celtic are an absolute joke. we don't need to sign anyone if that show this seasons anything to go by

Sign no one. .we don't need anyone. how did i come to this conclusion?. . . . .just look at celtic. . the claim theve had a good season. need i say more. . .

1 team for the spl and 1 team for europe what did they do in both SFA


K

Actually I've heard a number of different figures for how much McCoist will get. I've heard numbers between 5 and 25 million.

He definitely won't get 25 million but I reckon he'll get sufficient money to get the squad reasonably well covered and bring in one or two quality players. He'll still have to watch and spend wisely, but the money will be there and there'll be less worry about wages for bringing in players on Bosmans.

As for Lennon "buying" the title, he actually spent very little last summer when you consider his incoming fees (around 10M) were around about what he spent. Two quality players in McGeady, Boruc; and a bunch of loanees also left the club and had to be replaced and the squad were in dire straights after Mowbray turned the team upside down. The rebuilding had to be done.

29 May 2011 15:41:07
Who exactly is Darren McGregor from Dunfermline? No such player exists?

{Ed010's Note -Possibly an error on the team but could be Darren McGregor who plays with St Mirren

29 May 2011 14:15:23
Bartley is 100% not coming back to Rangers either as a loan signing or on a permanent deal.
Wenger is promoting him to Arsenal first team.

No he isn't why come out with lies

This looks correct, Had a wee look at Arsenal page. Seems to back up this claim :(

29 May 2011 14:07:46
im a tottenham man and there is talk of geovanni dos santos to rangers 3 mil or loan deal, just not made the impact in england they would have hoped for and getting him loaned out for first team football and possible champions league experience

29 May 2011 13:04:00
Scott Sinclair has said he will stay at Swansea even if they don't get promoted. SOURCE: SKYSPORTS

29 May 2011 11:00:59
I've heard rangers linked with Sander Post from Flora Talinn. He was top goalscorer in Estonian league with 24 goals. He is a big target man(6foot6), McCoist has had him watched and is a known admirer. He is 27 and wants a move to England but would also like to join either of the old firm with Rangers a preferance. Price tag seems a bit hefty of £4m but with new investment seems possible.

{Ed010's Note -On 31 March 2011, Post signed a three-year contract with Norwegian club Aalesunds FK

Sander post who does he play for Black & decker?

29 May 2011 10:52:54
strange how i just checked lfc tv and not a mention of it! besides liverpool want rid of him and he is valued at 8m and on reported 60k week

29 May 2011 10:20:40
heard that rangers were keen to sign david ngog on a season long loan. been mentioned on a few websites similar to this. coisty should try and get in paul scholes whose contract is up at utd and i feel even at his age this could be his last chance to play champions league football without being on the bench. also i have been told that ally isn't interested in signing craig conway and i would have to agree as i don't think he is any better than what we already have.

No real rumours come fae these sites anyway

{Ed010's Note -A "rumour" is information that is related, often a mixture of truth and untruth, passed around verbally or in this case posted online. Based on other posts and the negative comments, I think you are a Celtic supporter in disguise.

Anyway, to your point, which I have to admit is the shortest (8 words) contradictary statement I have ever read. If a "rumour" is "real", then it must be a "fact", so it is impossible to have a "real rumour".

29 May 2011 09:19:52
Celtic in their desperate bid to drum up some cash due to a lack of champions league money over the last three seasons have struck a lucrative deal with a top sports drink manufacturer. A club spokesman is reported to have claimed manager Neil lennon will get a right kick out of the news.

29 May 2011 08:33:52
This might sound like a weird one but I think we should make a move for Adam Rooney. He scored 15 goals in the league last season(only two less than goodwillie and Dundee utd have better players to assist). He is only 23 and because he is from inverness we could get him on a small wage and use as a 'back up'.
