In
Goodwillie £1.5m
Diouf £500k
Conway Free
Eremenko £1m
Meite Free
Granqvist £2m
Bartley Loan
£5m

i would agree with most of that except diouf as his manager already stated rangers can take over his contract because hes surplus to requirments at blackburn not a rumour true story. . i would liek him back though to be honest but like kyle lafferty would do best in a midfield position probably winger

Kyle lafferty in a midfield role joking right?! didnt you see him playing up front last few games he never had a run like that before give the lad a chance play him up front with jelly lets see why we paid so much money for him big rab by the way

Diouf is available free. he will go to west ham. the boy def has some ability but gets caught up in to much. glasgow goldfish bowl no for him.
the tiger - bye bye diouf

Richard Dunne to replace David Weir.

He is slower an not as good as weir

Is one time Rangers target Julien Faubert a free agent from west Ham or would he cost £. Either way I'd trade his natural speed and ability for Bougie to go the other way. I feel Bougie's surging forward arrogance a weakness waiting to be exploited by the opposition and a sign of "I do it for me not for RFC"

Julien Faubert is not a cb left mid or left back so get ur facts right how could he replace boogie ?????


K {Ed001's Note - Faubert is right sided mate.}

Point taken! but what I hear is West Ham might be interested in Boogie. Boogies attitude to the team is "its all about me" if Faubert was available then I would happily trade Bougie's ego for a better diciplined quality player and then look to fill the LB position.

Not sure about Frings. I know he's a German International but at 34? I think I'd rather use the a fraction of the money for his wages on a younger player. Kyle Bartley back? Yes please! Looked a good 'un in his short spell here.

REF :Sebo

This would be a great signing as he wasn't given the opportunity to prove his worth last time. He is a little powerhouse who will tear up the spl.

he wasnt given a chance he made 24 apearances and scored 2 goals and he isn't worth anything

03 Jun 2011 21:05:43
Why does everyone keep saying we are going to sign Diouf?

He is useless and will NEVER join Rangers permanently.

03 Jun 2011 20:14:16
you guys are wright. . read what sausage bear has been posting these last few days. . .do you think he just appeared for fun. . .he is a true BEAR

03 Jun 2011 19:57:11
If Celtic's board of directors are worth billions. . then why didn't they back Strachan. . they let the guy buy Willo Flood. .and the mighty GERS got champions bucks which kept us alive. All you SEPTIC FANS are deluded. . your directors don't care about you the fans. . they care only about their DIVIDENDS.

Nikica Jelavic has said he is not going to the EPL unless its man u even then he is talking about 2013-14 season. and we don't want Bolton player Taylor for 4.6 million lol

03 Jun 2011 18:38:19
i live in germany, and it is all over the local rumours sites that torsten frings wants to play for the champions.

As long as he has 2 good seasons left in him at 34.You can't play 79 times for Germany, and not be a player.He could prove to be a good signing.

03 Jun 2011 18:14:57
Barry Bannan may well be a Celtic suuporter but I don't think he's better than what we already have at Rangers . I admit he is a good wee player but nothing special as far as i'm concerned. Tomer Hemed is something special though and at only 24 could spend a fair bit of time at the Gers, Jelavic is a class-act and pops up surprising us every game with something special. We have a really good squad, keeping them together and adding proven players like Goodwillie, Conway and Tomer including some defenders who I'm not sure who. Could someone suggest some defenders that are realistic targets please, Also Frings is old but his tackling is unbelievable could be solid in the midfield area so would be good to get a legendary player on board? Thankyou.

We are the people!

Ill Tell you who is special Obertan but dissapointingly not in a football way

The players i have heard the Gers are interested in are Vaughan from Blackpool, now it looks as though he may head to the premiership instead but i'm sure Ally will keep trying! Then there is Toch (Cartagena), Tomer Hemed(Maccabi Haifa) and finally Emilson Cribari(Napoli). Everyone of these has been heavily linked and are all available on free transfers.

So the fact that we not spending any money on transfers at the moment has me thinking Ally may be looking for a "big" money buy!

This is exactly what i thought he should do, get in a few bosmans i.e. frings, the brazilian, vaughan, conway. Then get in 2 maybe 3 quality young players!
smart move if you ask me!

namba

I agree lads there's a few good bosmans out there, 1 big signing it's got to be the plan eh!

03 Jun 2011 16:30:17
Just to clear something up. . A lot of people seem confused as to the regulations of the transfer window. As of June 1st, clubs from the same association can confirm deals that have been struck for their players. However the players do not officialy move until July 1st. Any transfers outwith one association cannot be confirmed until July 1st or of course thereafter.

Torsen Frings (spelling) wants to end his career at Rangers.

Source: uk.eurosport.yahoo.com

He probably wants to end his career at any club who'll pay him what he wants to earn.

A lot of people finish their careers when they come to rangers !

Nothing wrong with finishing off as a champion! !

The minute he said this his career ended

Rangers are offered the chance to sign German midfielder Torsten Frings after his release from Werder BremenSource:BBC Webpage

What bbc webpage you looking at?

03 Jun 2011 14:01:02
Celtic are to show off their new strip for the coming season. It is white and green hoops , fans say its much better than last years green and white hoops, :0)

Rangers to release another new home strip halfway through the season , 1 a year and no one buying them just doesn't seem to be working. . .
Bhrydo Bhoy. . .who cares as long as its green and white

03 Jun 2011 13:27:35
Rangers r the team that players should join. I would like to see young players at the greatest club ever

03 Jun 2011 13:12:34
not a rumour just an opinnion

i think that we won't find out who we are signing untill they are paraded at ibrox or murry park, my reason in thinking this is because in previous seasons every player we have let known we are interested in the manky mob then try and step in and try n pick them off, im sure coisty will have a long list of players he will be looking to try and bring in as stated he had 2 lists of players he was looking at before the takeover went through 1 if it didn't go through and one if it did. i like all on the site would hope some of the rumours are true, the players i would most like to come would be

goodwully
petric
conway


i think those 3 and mibby some others would enhance the team 10 fold

opinions welcome

WATP

Actually the most thought out thing that has been said on here. i hope this is true.

Goodwillie & Conway are not good enough for Rangers, end of.

"Champions League money" or any variations thereof result in an automatic ban from publication on the website.

Anyone in agreement? {Ed007's Note - Yeah, Because it is heavy boring, I don't post them anyway.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
seen this on the tic page and just had to post it lol ! ha deflecting anything are they ha haha they honestly believe that no champ league won't affect them ! mhuppets

I know its hilarious! Next they will ban all Champions League talk altogether as they haven't been in it for so long! !

In Super Ally We Trust.

Billyboy1!

The reason they want it banned is because moronic supporters like yourself believe that without the Champions League money Celtic will have to resort to signing freebies. Despite the fact we perhaps can't spend the same amount as the last few season we are still in a very sound sate financially. Mr Desmond is a billionaire and the other directors aren't short of a few bob. If i were you i'd be worrying about Mr Whyte's financial prowess.

Very true your team has alot of money. so i feel you dn't want to talk about it because you aren't there and haven't been for two seasons. A tea, with nae a two pennies to rub together beat you to the top and have the chance of the greatest stage in club football AGAIN !

Its called a banter page son if u can't stand the heat get outta the kitchen cos the gers are cookin up another 9 in row !

Im really scared Mr Whyte 700 Million he is worth! Really frightened. . . . . NOT.

Billyboy1!

Ah, but is Whyte really worth £700m? Is it his own wealth or the value of companies etc.? Have you been fooled to thinking he really is worth that much?

Haha I posted that originally.

It was mostly posted in jest to be honest but the reason I put it on there is that I keep seeing the same stupid arguments starting from a Gers fan coming out with a snidy reply to a fairly genuine post and mentioning CL money as if it somehow negates any chances of Celtic signing players this summer. Fact is the same old rubbish replies get boring. I'd prefer it be constructive.

Example:
Celtic FC burger van employee:
"Celtic are looking into signing Anew Teelaydey from Jobcentre FC. Source: CFC News and the burger van"

Gers fan with a dodgy keyboard:
"Omfg r u stoopid??? wi oot the CL $$$ yous are destinned to be 2nd bst 4 teh nxt over 9000 seasons + U'LL lose Eezygeary, Kayahl, Hopper and Komonz. 4IARWAT-legnedary-P fial fail."

Fairly realistic Celtic fan:
"Well I've heard Arsenal and Spurs are after Teelaydey. Job Centre are looking for at least an IOU and I don't see him joining us over the EPL. To Gers fan: as for the previous comment, we'll need to offload some of the deadwood but we're in no way totally skint. Plus if you look at last seasons signings most of them were less than a million. To be fair neither club is much worse off than the other but I guess that remains to be seen as we don't really know what Craig Whyte's plans are yet."

Flamer from either side with caps lock superglued down:
"SHUT UP #2 CELTIC HAVE SOME MONEY TO SPEND YOUR JUST A MORON.
or BUT WHAT DID LESS THAN A MILLION BUY? RANGERS FC CHAMPS NO CL MONEY FOR YOU BOO HOO 4IAR"

Clueless Celtic fan:
"No you're all wrong. Lawell is worth at least 5 trillion. We don't need CL money coz we'll make at least 60 million if we sell Izaguirre. In Lennon we trust.
FAILBHOY"

Gers fan hoping Celtic get screwed in a transfer deal:
"Izaguirre isn't worth 60 million. You'll get around 2 pizzas and a curly wurly if you're lucky."

Celtic fan:
"Izaguirre is a quality player. I can't see him leaving for. ."

Fair minded fans of either side:
"YAWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNN. [oegfi erpogtm gperjm gperg]***"

***Me bashing my head off the keyboard.

More of a FACT here, rather than a rumour
Rangers are destined to win 4-in-a-row

BIG BOABY

El Hadji Diouf, Vladimir Weiss and David Healy won't be returning and the Ibrox outfit are unwilling to meet Aberdeen's £250,000 valuation for Ricky Foster.

McCoist has been all over Europe scouting this week and will take in further games this weekend.

Blackpool's David Vaughan has been linked with Rangers but looks set to join West Brom.

The Light Blues have also been linked with Napoli's 31-year-old Brazilian defender Emilson Sanchez Cribari as McCoist looks to strengthen his defence, but Bartley remains the priority.

Is it just me or are the dark clouds of pessimism still very present amongst other Bears regarding the quality of signings and perhaps also the number?

It's unfortunate Weiss won't be returning but certainly not as surprise considering the immense talent and potential he has but most of the realistic links we've had to players are either over the hill, past their best or really not of a Rangers standard.

Don't get me wrong, I'm well aware that we're a far cry from the team we once were but it's insulting that people seem to think we're no longer a big club because of the last few years. I think a lot of Bluenoses seem to forget this also.

At the minute, and possibly for a couple more seasons we won't be a club of Gazza's, Laudrup and McCoist's but other than last years necessity a club of Diouf's and Fosters we most certainly are not either.

They don't have to be big names but it's imperative we get quality signings. I mean look at Whittaker, by no means an amazing player but put in an amazing shift last season and we'd have been shafted without him. More of that please.

03 Jun 2011 00:49:45
Really hope the Torsten Frings rumour is true, just looked at some of the goals he has scored and they are incredible. He reminds me of Pedro Mendes a bit but if I was McCoist, I would hury up and sign him before someone else gets him, he is a free agent after all. Also had a look at Tomer Hemed, looks not bad definately know he can finish but the stats show he may not be good enough to play for rangers. Approximately 24 apps, 3 goals. But he has begun 2 show some goalscoring form with 15 goals in 22 apps so lets hope he can continue that form if he signs for the Glorious Glasgow Rangers.

WATP

24 caps for who coz he is making his international debut 2night research any1 ????

Isn't he about 34 yrs old, admit he was a cracking player but don't think ally will go for him to be honest, no sell on value and sky high wages, would be better spent on young talent that we can move on in a couple of seasons.

Andy

Think about it this way: a 34 year old former international who has just been released by his club which finished 13th in the Bundesliga looks for one last big payday. Yes, he might have offered his services to Rangers, according to the press, but to how many other clubs has he done this? As many as possible, I would expect. He'll be looking for huge wages too, given his age and what he'll have been used to in Germany. Could be Rangers' Ljungberg?

Wouldn't you prefer the money to be spent on younger players with lower wage demands who will be there for a two or three seasons and then sold on for a profit?

REgarding Hemed, it looks like you've taken the 15 in 22 appearances from wikipedia but the stats on him on the same page don't state this, and other sources say he's scored 23 in the last 3 seasons. It's difficult to find out the truth about how many goals he has scored recently. Remember that wiki isn't always accurate.

the frings rumour has made its way into the sun :0

Probably aload of guff then, like 99.9% of everything else reported (hah!) in the Sun.

03 Jun 2011 00:17:37
McCoist is hoping to strengthen his squad and could make a move for Dundee United striker David Goodwillie if his current court case is dropped, but he has ruled out a return to Ibrox for El Hadji Diouf, who was on loan from Blackburn.

{Ed010's Note -You are bang on. There are no reports anywhere that suggests that Thomas Hitzlsperger has signed or is about to sign, for Rangers. Who makes rumours up ? Everyone. Cheers Ed10

03 Jun 2011 00:03:28
Barry Bannan is a Celtic fan, i'm not saying Celtic fans can't sign with Rangers because obviously they can, he's young and he's a good wee player but he isn't anything special. Wee Ness is Rangers daft and plays a better pass from the centre midfield, Wylde is faster with a good cross. As for Tomer Hemed he is a brilliant player, was really surprised at just how good he was when I seen the video of him. I don't judge players just by a video but his goals and touch were just immense and he's a player that really excites me. I am all for Goodwillie coming to Rangers but if it was Tomer Hemed instead I wouldn't be too disappointed bears.
