Sources within the club (New Head of Youth Development) Creag Roberston has today revealed some interesting news surrounding new striker at the club.

The potential new striker is the experienced former international Maroune Chamakh.

Chamakh 32 years old is a player represented by Willie McKay who has previously worked with former Gers Jean-Alain Boumsong and currently Joey Barton.

My understanding is that Chamakh has been offered training facilities with a view to a one year deal if impresses.

This is one to keep tabs on.

This could work out well.



01 Aug 2016 19:16:54
Not exactly a goal machine is he. This can't be "the big one" everyone is talking about.



01 Aug 2016 19:35:45
A very humble intelligent man chamakh according to wiki. Very injury prone which is worrying.

However if can stay fit good addition.



01 Aug 2016 19:41:47
MONDIAL PROMOTION act as chamakhs agents. Willie mckay has nothing to do with them. He is however both Barton and Scott browns agent.



01 Aug 2016 20:33:19
You can't be serious the boy would demand at least 30k a week He is quite happy to be sitting on the bench earning his bread and butter!

If he was anything decent then he would've left Palace 2 year ago to play regular football

No thanks.



01 Aug 2016 21:08:48
He is a big girls blouse! Next.



01 Aug 2016 21:45:29
I've just stated that he is not represented by Willie mckay squashing this rumour and source. Also the guy has been realeased so if he's getting 30k on the brew fair play. And loic remy sits on the bench for Chelsea but you wouldn't say that about him. Read the posts before snagging someone of.
What's more with chamakhs injury record and the fact he's a free agent he'd be lucky to get a deal anywhere that's close to 20k.



01 Aug 2016 22:52:26
Lazy player and has been rotten in past seasons, not for me.



01 Aug 2016 23:36:38
How can some of you guys be happy with chamakh! He had a couple of average seasons at arsenal and that's it. hope this is a load of nonsence.



02 Aug 2016 00:22:22
He's injury prone so therefore No thanks Rangers can't afford to pay someone that much not to play!

Therefore blurryface think it's fair to say majority of people would prefer not to see this donkey collect that sort of money on around 10 games a season.



02 Aug 2016 04:13:32
marouane chamakh Is a free agent, supposedly released by crystal palace who didn't renew his contract cost arsenal £14 million pound if this rumour is true, wouldn't be bad if he plays well at his game could be a steal.



02 Aug 2016 09:23:35
think he would do well in Spl but can't see him up here, think he is a bit of a merc lads, follows the cash. think he will be one of those player thatll run down every contract for the bucks,



02 Aug 2016 09:29:18
I think a lot of fans on here forgets where waghorn came from and his goalscoring record too. some fans need to be realistic, he is free which is a bonus give a him a 1 year deal and see how he does.
i think a lot of fans on here think we have the spending power of Man City and Chelsea etc.



02 Aug 2016 11:48:12
Wasn't overwhelmed by this rumour at first, but the more I think about it the more I think he might suit our style of play. Plus he'd be a decent ariel threat in the box.



02 Aug 2016 12:04:21
This is another whopper, next.



02 Aug 2016 12:13:11
Waghorn's over rated and not a goal scorer and this is a million times more believable than RVP anyway.



02 Aug 2016 13:17:55
naw don't want has beens and he is nowhere near the calibre of barton or niko. so next please.



02 Aug 2016 18:51:43
Kazmainia82 why you having a go at me I never even said Wether I'd like chamakh or not. merely said if he can stay fit could be a good addition big if but if mw thinks he's worth a pop then I'd suggest the majority of our fans would back him.



02 Aug 2016 19:05:55
What does waghorn have to do to be considered a goal scorer, my god he's already scored 4 goals and he scored 28 last season despite being injured for 3 months, i don't get it, how many does he have to score this year.



01 Aug 2016 18:26:39
Steven Taylor has signed for Portland Timbers, I'd forgotten we even spoke to him!



01 Aug 2016 18:56:38
Don't know if we offered him a deal but if we did and he didn't accept then no great loss. If that's the extent of his ambition in football best off not signing for us.



01 Aug 2016 19:02:17
We were obviously too much for him for the money. Another dud dodge. Go MW.



02 Aug 2016 13:19:32
we need a defender in this week at somepoint if not I will be disappointed in warbs as it is critical we have a settled defence for the new season!



31 Jul 2016 23:41:56
Read on a couple of online sports transfer rumours pages that crouch or Heskey as possible targets. don't get me wrong maybe in their heyday but a 34 year old streak of pish and a 38 year old with half decent hold up play doesn't seem to fit into our style of play. Think the media just link any person to rangers. Would be nice for a proven goalscorer under 30. Also a mobile tank of a defender that takes 0 ****s on a football pitch.



01 Aug 2016 06:12:51
No chance we will sign heskey lol.



01 Aug 2016 08:10:26
Cant see us signing either. Heskeys a dud and crouch is passed it and doesn't suit our playing style.



01 Aug 2016 09:18:34
Heskey is retired. Was on TV with Lennon and they said that's why he didn't go to Hibs.



01 Aug 2016 10:05:21
I said long ago that Crouch had been spoken to and was an option.



01 Aug 2016 10:39:41
I know ill get dogs abuse but i think crouch is a decent option. he offers something different and would give us an outlet up top for corners/ crosses.



01 Aug 2016 10:58:52
we need to stope thinking about guys like hesky and crouch, they are way too old guys.
Its bad enough we signed clint hill wich I wasn't sure about and am definitely not happy with now the guys has no pace nor does most players over 33 we should be looking for defenders in my opinion another two centre backs as our defence isn't up to scratch!



01 Aug 2016 11:46:05
Its all about communication and being comfortable for our CB's. If we bought two new ones with the intention of them starting then it would be a disaster waiting to happen. Wilson will be the main starting CB and MW/ DW are looking for the best partner for him.



01 Aug 2016 14:02:10
super ally I don't agree it all about communication, because big clint hill shouts and communicates a lot but doesn't defend that well himself.
Look at last year balls straight through the middle where beating us so not signing another at least one starting cb one with much better quality than what we have now then that would be a disaster. must be a no nonsense kinds guy withy some real pace as we have the strongest midfield in the country by far we will lose most of our goals on the counter attack sum1 with pace is a must.



01 Aug 2016 15:08:10
We play a certain way in which our centre halfs push out wide and what we missed last year was a natural sitting player. Which we now have.

I just think that the two centre halves are not comfortable together and Wilson needs an assured head beside him. Hill is not the answer, neither is Bougherra, i think he's there for coaching/ to finish his badges. A no nonsense defender with pace who can play from the back, we all want that, but where can we find one.



01 Aug 2016 16:43:43
there must be sum1 out there in the transfer market or sum1 with a year left on their contract that we could bid for I'm not a manager and will not for one second try to do warbs job as he is a smarter man that me but just sayin in general I think we need to work on our defence and Wilson and rob are not the answer .
that being said if Wilson found the form he had two seasons ago withy hearts I think we would have a really good defender on our hands.

as much as warbs brings the best out of people I think that the style of play makes it almost impossible to bring the best out on any defender.



01 Aug 2016 17:46:25
Why are we being linked with pish players passed their heydays!

Bougherra would be the only one worthwhile but he'd have to be a free transfer with wages of no more than 10k as isn't worth anymore.



01 Aug 2016 23:54:38
I personally think that joel ekstrand on a one year deal might be decent free agent n is decent player when fit! Also will keane from man united maybe an option, but i'm happy to go into the season with waggy, dodoo, miller, ohalleron as the strikers so long as we get a big stong no messing centre half who also has a good yard of pace.
