Riordan to sign before week end FACT!
Mushy.
Riordan signing for killie, played in a bounce game for them against us.
Sign for kilmarnock. played against us in reserve game. it says on the rangers website hes looking for a contract at killie
He's signing for killie til end of season
Mushy - do you know what a fact is?
Of course I do, it means- somethin someone has heard from other ppl. Duuh! I'm not stoopid.
Mushy.
Riordan to sign for Killie FACT!

Ther was a lot of arguing about guerra rumours earlier, particularly from celtic fkn fans. Av not noticed it mentioned so I will.. The guerra news is on the gers official website so ther has got to be an element of truth in it or it would never have been posted on the site.
An element of truth about what? ally likes him n thats that! heard this kinda talk b4
Gonny read what it says then on the website
ally was asked a question by the press he never came out and said i want to buy that player
JG
Wish we wouldnt air our transfer dealings in public. we did that in summer with cuellar, juhasz, danns, vaughan, verhoek, conway, goodwillie, miller, hemed...... and guess what, we got none of them. its embarrassing, i wish we would learn from our past mishaps and keep our dealings under wraps until it is in the bag. It is embarrassing to be honest.
I read what it said aye. And I said the RUMOUR is on the website, an element of truth in that! Unlike most posts on this page. Maybe youse should be paying more attention to what I said before slaten me for not paying attention! C,mob fellow gets fans expected better from yous.
Dt89
Ps.. Last comment about ou transfers, a completely agree
Dt89
Think yous should read the post again, all it said Is the rumour is on rfc website, so it's not complete rubbish. Got a cheek to say read things right when you have failed to read the post right. And yes we should keep quiet about targets I said that myself on this page.
The 3rd person that wrote under this rumours has the right idea and knows what he is talking about

Rangers might actually get this Guerra guy from Valladolid. The majority shareholder of the club has just filed for bankrupcy and they need cash badly . . So maybe not as far fetched as people on here are thinking !!
What a lot of lies, where'd ye see this then??
Bbc website
Its on the BBC news website under the scottish premier section Don't be so quick to quash other rumours u sad little person. . . Oh an just incase u are too inept to find it, its under the headline McCoist eyes Valladolid's Guerra.
Fair enough, but they will want the 2m valuation
As much as I would like to beleave this, it's the efin BBC. Jurno's are rubbish in Scotland. Fingers are crossed though.
I feel for valladolid. there in an even worse position than we are and its no different than the prem teams offering us pennies for jelavic because of our financial toils. as much as id love to see this guy here i think its morally wrong to sign him for pennies because of their trouble. 500k and ortiz is an awful offer, they want 2 mil, give them 1 mill and ortiz or something. i hope we get him for a fair price, that way both clubs benefit.
Giving them ortiz in along with any amount of money is moraly wrong
... f*** being moral!! Football isnt about being moral, why would ye buy a house for 1 million when the owner could accept it for half of that. Its the same wae anything, i dont care who they are or what their financial situation is, they are in a bad way and we could benefit from that from getting a good player (maybe?) on the cheap. End of story

Celtic are linked with Jelavic's former team mate Hamdi Salihi adviable for £500k. Why don't we try to sign him? Instead of this 29 year old Spanish striker of £2.5m
Cos if Celtic want him Rangers don't have a hope in hell of getting him
He was not jelevic's team mate, he was brought in as a replacement for jelavic.
Too the last poster he was a team mate of jelavic and it was jelavic who set him up for a goal against celtic in uefa cup game
When Jela is sold why not get both of them, there will still be money to sign a creative midfielder - a position that also needs to be filled.

A highly respected member of the admin team at Rangersmedia is saying... Craig Whyte is leaving us and is going to sell to Jim McColl who is going to settle the tax case. Why didnt McColl buy from Murray? Well the story is that Murray refused to sell as he does not like McColl, as McColl would go elsewhere for steel for his business than buy steel from Murray and this did not go down with Murray. Basically Whyte has been holding the fort in the interim until McColl comes riding to the rescue and it could be as early as the end of this month.
This guy has been spot on with his info in the past.
So Murray was happy to accept £1 from Whyte when there was an opportunity to get morw from McColl. Don't think so.
Interesting stuff. I heard that Douglas park was in the frame too after tax case settled. This may not be total drivel, I hope and pray as whyte is t going to take us forward as a club
Why the hell would anyone, let alone a businessman buy a company with at least £18m debt (£50m according to jellyfish) and a possible £40m tax bill, then the mysterious £10m black hole. a company that has mortgaged its catering division and sold the jerseys (literally)??
this guy would need to put in around £150m just be on a level footing
it makes no sense, thats why the real money men didnt show any interest, and that's why you now have an asset stripper 'running' the show
Aye but he might have trouble buying shares right now...
nice story love the happy ending, but lets be real its never going to happen.
mccoll stated in march that that he had no interest in any personal financial involvement in rangers.
BULL just BULL
Not going to lie i heard this from a mate who goes to rangers games every week and he said it is doubtful but anything could happen
Jim McColl.....could buy Rangers, pay our debt, then just use it as a play thing.....even 150m would be penny's to him, and he is a massive bluenose.....before you slag off....google him and see what he's worth,and what he's all about.
This is why were going into admin or worse still liquidation.the debt is now unmanagable and needs to be re-structured top to bottom.to many ppl thinking its gonna be allright.its not look at the numbers.this is why jella,greegs,whittaker n davis were offered more money,sell on value is linked to contract length n wages
How much does whyte personally lose if rangers enter admin? isnt he gauranteed all his 18 MILLION he invested or loaned to rangers?if rangers lose the tax case and enter admin would they become debt free? if so maybe 1 of the names mentioned above might be intrested... maybe whyte could make a profit from his £1 purchase.... maybe that was the plan all along ....maybe he is there as a asset stripper or guy who dosnt mind doing the dirrty work, as long as he makes money , he was there to take the s**t for some1 else then sell for a handsome profit.... wishful think
Well why didnt mccoll just buy initially?no him n murray dont get on nonsense plz,murray would have sold to dermot desmond at the end! sick of these "bluenose" millionaires coming out the woodwork where were they for years?
I don't buy into all this.Whyte is a business man no way he would take over if he thought he'd lose money. Whyte would have looked over all finances before buying Rangers thats probably why it took him so long to buy the club. For a club thats totally skint why are we being linked with 2.5m players and bought Jelavic for 4m? Although ive never heard of anyone beating the taxman but i think there will be a serious reduction to money owed to HMRC
This board is full of mhanky panicking tims. Thats the elephant in the room for them, they secretly dread the thought that someone is going to wade in with real money.
Ive said it before laugh all you want, if we end up in administration you can have your 3 months of gloating, but be very mindfull of what might come behind it. A debt free Rangers with real money behind it.
Lol!!
i can assure you, us Celtic fans are positively pi55ing ourselves laughing at this charade of a club.......no-one has a clue, from the shyte knight right down to the knuckle draggers :D
.....pure COMEDY GOLD!!!
Dont see how its pure comedy gold to the above post its been said many times before no one knows whats going to happen so lets just wait and see and get behind our teams its going to be close the season so lets enjoy it and in due course we will see what hapens
Wullie
Goggle him WHY OH WHY didnt SDM goggle craig whyte before concluding the( £32 m according to the scottish media) £1 deal
Does nobody remember arsenals 2-300 million tax debt about 10-15 years ago? they settled at 10mil. we owe (worst case scenario) 50mil tops. think we could settle for 10mil somehow! i just wish whyte would settle pay the 10mil or whatever it could be and get us out of this, its killing the fans with the worry, yeah he might win and only have to pay a bit, but i know id rather pay 10mil or so and kill off the worry.

rangers scouts are down south tonight scouting out jamie vardy of fleetwood town.
scored 18 goals this season already including one against blackpool in their fa cup tie.
source, STV news.
sad days ahead of us if we are scouting confrence league players.
phoenix7928
Not Necessarily, although he's a septic player, hooper is a good player and he was non-league not too long ago !
He just scored as well
He might struggle to get a game in front
of Boyd, Novo, Riordan Sandaza and O Connor! pmsl
The lad is a hot prospect,remember Rhodes is now touted as the next big thing,the players have to start somewhere,we dont produce them at Murray Park do we? Our scouts should be looking as these type of players,young,hungry,and talented,i want the best young players to go to Rangers,i dont care what league they play in,show me a good player,nd you have a good player.
Looks the part as you say but fleetwood have already turned down a million bid from Blackpool so can't see us going to a bidding war with clubs haven't got the money
They turned down 1m last week n celtics been on to him from start of novenber
There is a few teams looking at him ..i dont get this he only plays in lower leagues attitude every player starts somewhere then moves on to make a name for themselves ...even messi started out at a small club ....bigt
STV did say a host of scouts were looking at him so he can't be that bad. Hooper and smalling were both spotted at non league so worth a look.
CJM
We dont have the money to compete
even at Fleetwoods financial level at the
moment,pity cos he just scored again.
Trouble is that Fleetwood have rejected a £750k offer from Blackpool following their game against them (matter of public record). If Rangers can't afford £300k for Sandaza why are scouts wasting their time looking at a player that would cost in excess of £750k.
They turned down a 75,000 bid from Blackpool,dont get carried away,no million bid made,Fleetwood have quoted that as a price.Fact.I Live in sunny Blackpool,plenty gossip about Vardy,would be a good buy,plenty about him,pacy,good goals record,problem is,lots of clubs are aware of him now.
Why is us scouting a young player a bad idea? It doesn't matter what league your in. If you have the potential to be great then where you start ur career doesn't matter.
Another good young low lge player is ryan Rowe of Stourbridge. Reminds me of hooper play wise and looks.
Fraser
Young Vardy price gone up,scored twice tonight.
Young jones at man utd is a good example he will be a top player in a couple of years and where did he come from?
JG
1 mill plus for Vardy is Fleetwoods evaluation, Rangers cant even afford 3ook for Sandaza, and could not afford Boyds wages of 25k week even though they could have him for free, get it into your skulls, Rangers are Skint, No Money, they have to Sell before they can Buy
Talking about good young players,from not big leagues.How about we look at Stuart Dallas from Crusaders.He can play attacking midfield and on the wing.And has been N.I player off the year.And just broke into the NI international team earning his first cap.Along with Jordan Owens there striker,he is 22.Could fill in for Lafferty,he is a big guy to.Who cares were we find players.I care we should bring through more Glasgow boys.The streets used to be full off them.I also support Scotland to,and now I am in here asking for us to look at Northen Irish guys.And Finnish players cos we cant afford the top drawer talents any more.Ally
10 Jan 2012 20:19:43
The big fella,Javi Guerra looks the business,both feet good,skillful,good in the air,reminds me of big Hateley in his heyday.
We are not signing this guy.
Think were scraping the bottom of the barrel lads, wot happened to the boy donnelly from airdrie?
Buying from airdrie is scraping the barrel mate-no?
Guerra has a good first touch, pace and can finish but why is he not playing in La Liga.
Plenty of good players in Spains second division mate,no shame in that, the guy looks the part,you have a choice,Oconner,or senor Guerra,i rest my case,i just dont think we can afford him,but he can play,no question.
Nice to see Ally keeping his cards close to his chest again, do us a favour just find a target quietly negotiate then announce when deal is complete, getting tired of all the cheap talk.
Ortiz was a stand out for 2 seasons in a league above the one Guerra is playing, in as a Right Back, what is Ally going to do with Guerra play him as sweeper ?

get boyd out of your heads!,hes suppose to be signing for american club houston,offer on the table!
Hope this is not the case.... Would love to see him bk at ibrox.
Boyd is in talks with leeds, source is sky sports
Kenny
He is hes away to houston:-(
Boyd in Texas, I can't see it he will be knackered moving inside the 6yard box there let alone the 18 yard box.

Ed.. any truth in swap deal with matt mckay and ross mcormack.seen this on a few sites but you might be able to shine some light on it or not {Ed014's Note - NO.}
Mckay and Bedoya scored in a bounce game today, I agree we need a new striker and a new att midfielder but give these two a chance
Kenny
No chance McCormack would come back to Rangers, only one team he would play for in Scotland now and thats celtic, he and all his family are ceptic daft, only went to Rangers as no other offers for him when he started out, wouldnt want him back either, lets move on.
He did well when he came on against arsenal last night and unlucky not to score
JG
Kenny?.. A noticed that u didn't mention Lee McCullock scored 2 goals in the bounce game lol.

Genuine post don't know if it's old or new news.
O Conner defo off to rangers. rangers chased him up right before Xmas but court case was the problem but still want him don't know price/wages
Source his agents brother inlaw (Martin Reilly Lennon old agent)
If rangers sell jelavic would rangers fans be happy with o Conner,Boyd & sandaza ? We be a good cheap business ?
Lenny
Rangers are wanting a striker but are waiting because of a court case lol..have we no been here before lol watp./biggles
Well he's in court for using a class A drug at the start of feb ?
Lenny
Would take Sandazza, but if O'Conner comes, its over and out for me, i'll not be back....the guy is a thug, and is ''never'' out of trouble, and apart from that, he's pure p***.....if anyone disagree's, don't just click the disagree button.....let everyone know what you think O'Conner would bring to the table.
I think he would score goals with the supply from aluko davis lafferty (when fit) he is a proven goalscorer with hibs and come one the dont have as good quality as we do and he still scores goals for them so i think he is a decent player i would take him
O Connor would be a really good signing, i would take him everyday of the week before Sandaza who doesnt have the mental strength to step up to our level. O Connor although not a GOOD BOY, everyone deserves a second chance and i would defo give him that second chance
Look mate, my mum is best pals with Goodwillies mum. Goodwillie was 100% signing for Rangers, who he supported as a kid, in the last summer transfer window.
Until a player is bought and we have him under contract he is not a Rangers player

we aint getting 300k for sandaza so how can we aford 2million pound for this spanish boy and he is 29 so not much sell on value
We ain't buying that Spanish guy, the same paper reported e davids was signing for dundee in his prime never bought it since, how can u take a paper seriously again after that?
He is 27
How do you know we aint getting 300k? who are you?
Need to sell jelavic first
My bad he is 29 sorry bud
He is 29. sandaza is 27
Even if we do sell jelavic we would be better wa sum 1 a bit younger if wee had the cash we would stop mucking about an get sandaza on board he will score goals we need backup just now
We don't have 300k to give St Johnston, Lomas can cry all he wants about us trying to unsettle him, we are well within our rights to try to get the player without having to pay a penny.

10 Jan 2012 18:11:06
think that avb (chelsea) were to bid 8m for jelavic and offer josh mceachran on loan for the rest of the season this would be good.
chiz
Mcechran has gone on loan to swansea city
I'd happily take Lukaka on loan lol won't happen but one can dream...
Why would Chelsea want Jelavic?
AVB has now stated that he cannot loan us anyone this transfer window. He offered in summer but ally did not want the people he offered at that time.
AVB hinted at his interest today in an interview with TalkSport
Because Torres has been a real find for them, 50m reasons why AVB would want Jela

10 Jan 2012 18:01:49
why dont we try and get alexander hleb on loan from barcelona? they dont want him and he is training with bundesliga new boys augsburg but is unlikely to sign with them. could be a smashing player for us if barca would let us pay 10% of his wages lol watp!
His wages will still be really high?
Hes probably getting 40-50K a week? for nothing? 10% of thats 4-5K a week... which we probably still couldnae afford lol

10 Jan 2012 17:27:46
AVB'S chelsea to bid for jelavic, source talk sport here's the link if u have not seen already, this could possibly help in us getting 1 of there mob on loan? kalou?
www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/1451/23/villas-boas-hints-chelsea-move-rangers-star
Ok. Where exactly does it say he is going to bid? In fact, where exactly did he hint that he would make a bid?
He hinted at nothing, he merely praised Jelavic and said he could be a big star at the right club.
Which means he's not a star and he's at the wrong club.

Stephen Whittker out for 6 weeks Sky Sports News 16:45
That's a relief then. Broadfoots better at right back anyway
Your joking clubfoot ? he is the worst player in the team , fact he is the worst defender ever in a rangers shirt
Brpadfoot costs us ever time he plays .get rid
Let me look back, yes every time Broadfoot plays he costs us goals which in turn men's we drop points, that's right he is a better right back, right back to the end of the line for playing!
Dont get me wrong im not broadfoots biggest fan and if we can get money for him in Jan id take it but Wittaker has been shocking during rangers slump in form and cost far more goals than broadfoot. Total confidence player. On his day he can beat sporting lisbon defenders with his "snake hips" but goes through really bad patches. even more so when we give him a bumper pay rise and 5 year contract. Id like to see McMillan get a wee run personally and see what hes got
Broadfoot is not that good, but a better defender than Whittaker. by a country mile in fact.
I agree. mcmillan is 23 so he has to get a shot at first tea football now. i've nt seen anything to suggest he doesnt deserve a chance. can't be much worse than broadfoot
Jordan mcmillan is my second cousin. hes desperately wants to stay at rangers, his family including his dad are die-hard bluenoses, but his career comes first, and he wants regular first team football. He mentioned to me last time i was in glasgow for a family funeral that he and mccoist had had a very verbal exchanging of words, but that some things were said from jordan to mccoist which were out of line. Have not spoken to him since as i live down south and that was back in november. He is a great player and a leader, only problem is he's hot headed and is very rash in the challenge. But maybe that extra bite is needed in the team.

heard a wee rumour last night that we could be signing a boy called donnelly from airdrie, crackin player great finisher, only problem is huddersfield interested to!
How is that a problem?
Soz mate can only see him goin to celtic tho.rumour is lennons gonna pay n let airdrie keep him till end of season as hes a bit light
Cos we usually lose out on our targets to some small english club
Cause they have money,you dont,no accounts ,delisted from stocks dear oh dear the end is nigh ,the taxman cometh
Another timmy tax expert above. Very little point in rangers trading shares as Mr Whyte owns 85 per cent of the club.
CJM
Whats with all the celtic fans on this page gloating about our problems... if i remeber correctly they have been slagging us off the past 3 seasons in a row at this stage of the season about how we are in mega trouble, yet we still won the title 3 years on the trot... so what i will say to you lot is shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
To last post shut it and concentrate on your own team, i suppose its only fitting if you win the league when we are at our lowest point, and the only reason lets face it, is that we lost naisy for the season thats when our form dipped and we have been rotten from that point so go and boil yer dome pal.
@CJM
Has it occurred to you that now CW has total control of your club and can do anything he wants with it regardless of what the 15% minority shareholders say?
CW can actually start (if he hasn't already) adding 'phantom' debts to the club so that when he pulls the plug he will have a bumper payout.
There will be no signed off accounts and no AGM.
As a celtic fan we welcome the case.
Well said sir !
remember what Alistair Johnson said before he got black balled ?
If whyte doesn't see the point of trading shares why was the first thing he done when taking over rangers was to list them to make more money?? now they been de-listed he comes out with a line saying "we don't need to trade" and you all swallow it!!
They were listed when he bought them you complete tool, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to buy them in the first place and he didn't re-list them they were already listed until Monday - if your going to post, get your facts in order.

ALLY McCOIST has stated that he wants to open up talks with both Sone Aluko and Sasa Papac on new Ibrox deals.
Aluko is on short-term deal until the end of the season with a view to a two-year agreement while Papac is also signed until the end of the campaign.
McCoist told the January edition of Rangers Monthly: "Out-with the current climate and the situation we are in, I would have to say both Sasa Papac and Sone Aluko deserve new contracts. Of that there is no doubt.
"Sone has been a breath of fresh air. Sasa had a couple of periods out with illness but he is so solid. He has performed very well in all of his years at the club.
"He can play a few positions - i.e. centre back and in midfield as well as left back.
"So I would say that both Sone and Sasa are two players we're keen to hold onto.
"Of late Sasa and Lee Wallace have formed a good understanding and relationship on the left side because both of them can play left back or one forward.
"I think Lee in the last few games has played really well and it looks as though he is settling in now and enjoying it."
Blue bells are blue
Agree 100%, i think Lee Wallace is settling down well and becoming a really important player in the rangers first team, just hope ally gets papac and aluko on new deals and expands the squad if given the funds to do so
WATP
Didn't rate Wallace at all, especially being played in MF but thought he was fantastic last week. For a defender, he was exceptional down the left wing.
Im sure Papac said this would be his last season before returning home to finish is career :(
There will be no money and no players so stop dreaming we are potless
face it people . we onlygot grim times ahead

heard from a good source templeton to rangers but only if mad vlad drops his price.knowing whyte he'll offer about 10 bob for him. ps he is a celtic fan. ( i really dont get this he's a boyhood fan p*sh. it doesn't matter)
No chance ever
Ps who cares what team he supports, plenty of celtic fans have played for us and plenty of rangers fans have played for THEM, its people like u make a big deal out of it
I agree it doesn't matter who they support! However if both sides of the old firm are in for you, then I no what side I would choose, yep you guessed it the one I support rangers, so if templton is a tim then 100% he will go there!! *ksd*
For example. Scott Brown was a rangers fan
Mcgeouch and wylde both played for rangers and celtic respectively in youth teams when they wre younger. It doesnt matter which team you support, just as long as you earn money and play for the club you are at.
Has scott brown still got his rangers tattoo on his leg
A we talking about David Cooper Templton sounds like a septic supporter right enough. {Ed014's Note - Is this nonsense still going on?

Neil mccann was a tim fan turned out not bad for us
Wallace is turning into a superb player
Wallace will get done for pace against any top winger with pace, he's decent but too slow, just watch closely
He was excellent against the very pacy Mathews of Celtic, it was a good contest between the two, infact I think him and Mathews were the two best players on show at parkhead,

Reports today claimed that Spanish striker Javi Guerra is being lined up in a possible £2m deal from Real Vallodolid should Nikica Jelavic be sold in this window.
But SportTimes understands that he is not being heavily pursued as a potential replacement for the Croat, although he is a player the manager is aware of.
Meanwhile ally wants to sit down both sasa papac and soni aluko to discuss offering the pair new contracts.(evening times)
Wasent a fan of Papac at 1st but what a player he has been for us defo would love to see him stay for annother year at last soom good news
U cant find 300k for sandaza but white is going 2 bid 2 mill for a spanish player yeh ok then lol
Rangers pay 2 mill lol 100k mybe its not that long ago u asked aluko 2 pay for his own move wake up
Rangers wont sign any1 unless players leave first
Aw well maybe we're not as skint as youse think after all!
Maybe yees should just shut up seen as youse clearly have no idea about finances at rangers but like to talk like u do.

Does anyone think that we will actually make contact with Kris Boyd? I would take him back. he is good for a goal in games like St Mirren away etc where we have dropped points.
Boyd has been very quiet on twitter lately and it seems to be since he has benn getting asked when he will be signing for the Gers. maybe im just reading to much into this lol maybe hes just been busy
Boyds said hee haw on twitter for months

Bet we don't get Guerra, watch this space Cardiff will announce they are interested, beginning to feel we are their pimp.
More lies we ain't spending 2 million for any players
Here we go, whyte will bid £100k plus ten empty ginger bottles
If there is someone out there that we can make money on just as we are about to do with jelavic then am sure they will fork it out but we need to be certain that there is a profit to be made. Jelavic was good business at a time we had no money under Murray but he forked out 3.5 million on jelavic purely coz it was banked money and that's the avenue we need to start going down not these cheap squad players like ortiz,bedoya and mckay.
We have done well lately in making a really good profit on players ie boumsong,cuellar, hutton and big bougy
The same Bougherra that Rangers sold for £1.7m after buying him for £2.5m?
We made no profit in the Bougherra transfer
Think we lost money on Bougy and the rest of that money has been spent!.
CJM
Rangers need young fresh talent bring them on as players then cash in on them like celtic could do with there players just now makes good business sense
There is something of a myth about selling on here guys.say 3.5m for jella,+2 years wages say 2m thats 5.5m total package.a club pays 6m n jella's due 10% which is 600k leaving us with 5.4m. 100k loss over the contract term
Above makes no sense you would have had to pay someone anyway - so wages don't count
Dannager4life
Yes but we are paying for his service and he has been worth every penny we have paid him with around 30 goals in 45 games. So take that figure off. Jela doesn't get 10% as it isn't in his contract. So we make a profit of around £3.5m (assuming we get the £7m touted)
How can people disagree with the fact that Rangers lost money on Bougherra?!

Riordan will play for kilmarnock on trial today.
I would take a punt on Deek, good wee player
Deek is good, yes, but greedy and selfish; not exactly what you'd call a team player - hence the reason he hasn't been selected to play for the national team.

Rangers ready to swoop for £2million-rated Valladolid striker Javi Guerra

I clicked disagree because I don't think we will sign anyone until there are departures. However, I'm sure Guerro is a player who Ally would be interested in.
I clicked disagree because anyone that listens to anything written in that rag is a saddo!
What a joke, they cant even afford the 300k for Sandaza that McCoist wants, Whyte your a joke, time the fans saw thru you, but their blind
See through Whyte, why??
Dmrangers
Am a "saddo"? Am postn a link/rumour about rangers and a potential signin with a source,better than half the pish posted on here
What a joke, they cant even afford the 300k for Sandaza
ehhhhh yes they can, its whether or not they want to spend 300k on someone they can get for hee haw in the summer
Well if you can get him for nothing in the summer then wait if not pay the money the club asking for! that like whyte who is asking for £10 mill for jelavic will sell him to QPR for £5.5 mill cause thats all they will offer! typical of the gers though not willing to put money back into scottish football!!

Rangers ready to swoop for £2million-rated Valladolid striker Javi Guerra
RANGERS manager Ally McCoist is ready to splash his entire transfer budget on a prolific Spanish striker.
But it won’t be Francisco Sandaza after it emerged Real Valladolid’s £2million-rated Javi Guerra is the hitman McCoist wants.
And sources close to Valladolid insisted McCoist is determined to persuade Rangers owner Craig Whyte that cash must be found to land Guerra.
Thank god ppl are not treating this seriously.dont be fooled bears this is spin n nonsense.alouko pays his own way,wont pay 300k to get a player early n massive tax case on the horizon.i think we may be witnessing ally playing hardball with whyte tho,making sure he does see some jellavic money if he goes.
I think it is too early to judge mr whyte, and although i doubt he is the right person to be controlling the club i love we all know there is is only one man to blame for the mess our great club is in. every rangers fan can see(even the dilussional ones) that this rangers squad needs completely overhauled cause the standard of players we have and are being linked with has become rather embarassing!
Put it this way then, why are you all blaming whyte when he clearly knew himself that we were in debt through SIR david murray, there is obviously something Mr whyte knows that we don't know so a think everybody should keep their mouths shut until after the case there is not really anythin else Whyte can do, tell me this the supporters who do nothin but critisise everything about our own club, would YOU put millions of money into anythin that is due a case that could cost 45 million I wouldn't cos that means he's lost money, but you all seem to forget, whyte is a rangers fan himself! he may make a profit and sell on but somethin tells me he might not do it with us cos its a dream come true in a way for him. so lay off him and the rest ofRANGERS and f*****g SUPPORT our team. Heres an idea evry fan that's concerned, why don't yous organise somethin like a rangers fundraiser or along those lines to show some gratitude and to help you all that's concerned to think yous are doing something about it! help them out instead of thinkin that rangers will go to the gutter! (loyalbear)
Well said loyal bear i for 1 dont care for whytes past not that i dont care for the bears but at the end of the day his past should stay there we all have done things wrong or made it go things go t1ts up or been seen with the wrong folk but why hang the guy for it? another point how long has he been here 6/7 months max IMO its too early to be judgin him lets just see what happens and enoy the football
wullie
Cheers wullie, i completely agree with you, but IMO he must have money there cos for 1 he paid for repairs to ibrox, 2 apparently he cleard an 18mill debt and 3 he got davis, mcGregor, lafferty new contracts and now edu, naismith, whittaker, papac and aluko are nearly on their way in getting new contracts also, so when you add all that up, their must be a few mill there or maybe just under, so IMO he does have money to spend but he doesn't right now until the outcome of the tax case.(loyal bear)

Is someone at rangers taking the p... Were after a£2 million pound striker fae Spains
1st division
we had to get aluko, agent and family to pay his transfer from Aberdeen and can't find the money for sandaza but we have to believe in this trype someone at rangers are taking all of us as f*nny,s.
Completely inaccurate comment. Rangers just refused to pay money they didn't have to. Aluko payed it to keep the piece. We do have money, we also just have a dodgy tax case which is why we have to be resourceful fa mate calm down.
To the poster that vsays calm down!!
can you give us a good reason to be as calm as u think we should be? ( i'am calm).
becuase the poster before you explains why some uncalmness might be the order of the day, whereas you only tell us to be calm as things dont seem to be as bad as 99% of us know it is (note i left u 1%).
I have said on here before we aint gonna sign anyone of any real calibre.
also i would like to know if rangers change name and lose all their history will all ellow bears still follow them, i ask this as i have always said i would as rangers till i die comes to mind, but if rangers die then i dont think i could follow follow, which makes me hope we find a solution but i'am not holding my breath.
Rangers are in catch 22 - they cannot be seen to be splashing money around while the tax issue is bubbling away - but the longer this goes on - the worse its going to get I'm afraid
Aluko did not pay this, Rangers did.

Rangers are supposedly going to sign David tempelton from hearts! And johnny Russell from Dundee united!
With what ginger bottles!!
A big chance of templeton but both r Celtic fans. The other lot have made there interest in templeton known. If it's a choice then he'll def go there. I know johnny Russell well and he is as big a tic fan as it gets. He wld not join rangers. Not as good as goodwillie........
Crap, nae money,utter rubbish both tic supporters,are they sitting waiting for the mhanky mob to sign them,i wish people would stop putting rubbish on here about being tic supporters when they aint got a clue.....trueblue.....
There are too many diddies on here who think who you supported rules the transfer process....wake up, it's who pays the poppy that rules FFS
I imagine that United would be looking to receive around £1M for Russell-mania. Given Rangers' reluctance to put up £ for players like Goodwillie and Conway, I very much doubt that they will now reverse the trend and spend on Russell. Moreover, he still has a year-and-a-helf on his current contract which United are looking to extend in the close season by a further year - so I think that we can put that one to bed for the time being.
Russell will not extend his contract as he's goin to celtic in summer.dundee utd know this

According to the Daily Record Rangers are ready to swoop for £2 million rated Valladolid Striker Javi Guerra
Second Division in Spain. Doesn't fill me with optimism a would have to say.
2nd division in Spain is still probably better than the SPL.
I agree with the above poster, the spanish second division is just as good or is BETTER than the championship(english). have you actually seen the guy play? he can really score goals and by the looks of it he really knows where the goal is he would put STROKES and POOFTER to shame lol. 2mill sounds like a bargain with this guy, don't get me wrong he is 29 but he's still plays as if he's 21 , only problem is do we REALLY have the money? (loyal bear)
10 Jan 2012 06:52:08
Ally trying to bring in Sandaza at this window,Also looking at O'coner.Its the only Market Gers can operate in at the moment I'm afraid.We really need cover up front.
Jelavic will only go if Money is huge!.
10 Jan 2012 00:44:17
If we sign O'Conner, my season ticket will not be renewed, the guy is pure p***, he's not even in the top 10 SPL scorers ever, and even guys like wee Nacho and colin nish are, apart from that he's a big time trouble maker, and just a classless guy, seen him in action many a time when i worked in Musselburgh......cant obviousley say anymore, but i think most of us know.....worst signing ever, if we land O'Conner
Wont renew yer season ticket huh? Then jog on cuz yer not a real fan. I support the Jersey not the name on the back and so should you. I know we aren't always happy about the players we bring in but I will support anyone who plays for the champions. END OF! Loyalty is everything.
Don't need fans like u.
CJM
I bet you were the same chap that said the same about Aluko.
The Tax Case is crippling the club they cannot do a lot till that is settled, why don't you try and be positive about the clubs and be a little more realistic about the situation it is in and stop reverting to ranting threating posts, either your a supporter or your not, regardless of who plays they wear the shirt and should be given the chance to prove they are worthy of wearing it. Kenny Miller anyone ?
Pete
Sure away over to the dark side timalloy will look after you and you can listen to the s***e he talks.
Get a grip, what kind of fan r u? U should go support the darkside thats how their fans perform! RTID!!
Yes the standard of football and player at rangers is pi*h but we must all suffer together cause our great club will always be scotlands no1.
Has O'connor not been done for using cocaine ?
Not a good role model for RFC.
Well said Pete.... To many of ur fans are still in the 90's and getting to sound like a tim!!
Dont renew im sure someone else ie a true fan will snap it up !!
BALLYBOY
Wtf r u talkin bout.. Not in the top 10 ever, what a big drama queen.
Sutton hateley rod wallace none of them in the top 10 dont think they were dummys
10 Jan 2012 00:32:55
big chelsea and rangers fan here, living in west london im hearing whispers of chelsea allowing rangers the chance to sign a player on loan from the reserves,milan lalkovic,george saville and jacob mellis the players in question.
Aye right, did mushy tell u to post that?
Mushy? cant tell you my exact source but im good mates with a chelsea reserve team player went to school grew up so on so fourth so yh, not trying to mug anyone off here
It is believable , AVB was saying that if he could help ally out he just had to call an that he was gony loan a player or 2 too us but ally thought better of it , sed that after he done the 5th round draw for Scottish cup
Want to use any more London cliches there? It's okay as long as your not mugging them off in front of their pals. Or someone may have to take you outside and open you up. Not even a mockney, I bet your from Larkhall. AVB said last night they have not spoken about any loans.
NE Bear
Using one cliche really shows im 'well cockney' AVB says alot of things and if you were to go to chelsea forum you could see first hand that the editor trys to clearly state not to listen to what he says, believe what you want mate, avb and ally are good friends and avb is willing to help, expect a chelsea player in a rangers jersey come feb, t**t.
10 Jan 2012 00:27:31
James mcarthur will sign on loan as will dj campbell
Na neither will sign so stop postin crap
No they wont so stop posting lies where did u get that nonsence from cmon reveal yourself
James McArthur would struggle to make our bench.....he's an over rated dumplin'
TTG
Walter Smith would not agree with you.He was wanting him for Rangers.We could not go to the £2 million,that Wigan finaly paid for him.I rate McArthur as well.He is young enough to improve to.Ally
All i hear on here recently is ppl slatin the gers,its a rumour forum so instead of postin nonsence about not renewin ur season ticket jog on,av bn a season ticket holder 7 yr and now livin in sunderland,i still go to matches an will continue 2 regardless of who we buy,support the jersey like statement above not the name.
Omg dj campbell rubbish again we had all this when blackpool whent down on here infact evey player from blackpool was joining rangers lol
Aye right TTG struggle to make our bench, have u seen the s**te that sits on there of late
