I think we need to spend 2-3 million on a good striker.Everyone got carried away with Lafferty after a few good games at the end of last season.
Forgetting about the rest of the time he's been here,back to his usaul self on thursday

Well done mate we aint got 3p to rub 2gether as whyte is a tight arse wae no money so keeping thinking it aint gona happen

T-Bear

I've a strong feeling a striker will join us before the deadline

Agreed... Dafferty is hot and cold usually cold. We need some good consistant players.

He was the best player on the park on thursday

WHAT are you all stupid there's no money for f*** sake stop sayin we are going to buy this player and this player WE ARE BUYIN NO ONE

Templeton was brought up to support Celtic, but he has openly admitted he loved watching Laudrup, a RANGERS legend. Still would like to see him at the club, good young Scottish player.

Hearts will want about 3m for him

Lads templeton is to young to have watched laudrup,maybe video

He is named after Davy Cooper and brought up a Rangers fan so check your source

I'm 23 and I watched Laudrup play at Ibrox when I was a wean, so not necessarily.

Templeton is a rangers fan his middle name is copper so he aint a celtic fan.

Let's all stop dreaming, Jelavic is nowhere near worth £10-£15m. He showed in the four European games that he isn't as good as we all say he is. He only looks good in the SPL because it's a s**te league If a £7million bid comes in for him, I can see him going. Would like to see Murphy, Templeton and Hately in at least before the window closes. PS, stop blaming Ally, it lies with Craig Whyte

Lol templeton wont come to rangers he came out saying hes a celtic supporter and all his family support celti so couldntsee him comeing

Whit, even his dad who gave him the middle name cooper. think about it not all his family are the darkside

Stop blaming Ally and/or Whyte.Its the players who let everyone down.

Listen Timmy if McGeady is worth 9.5 then Jela is worth 25 million Also it's not Whyte's OR Ally's fault the team didn't finish the chances created against Maribor. It's not Whyte's fault Whittaker dropped a bollock in both legs against Malmo to drop us in it and the rest of the team didn't play anywhere near as good as they should and could of in both Euro ties. Fact is the teams sent out against Malmo and Maribor SHOULD of been good enough to beat them, so how is it Whyte's fault they didnt' ya balloon?

Jelavic needs a hand up front hes trying to do the work of 2 players thats why he hasnt been at his best .

These lads aint good enough get real

I know the team should have been good enough to win in Europe, but he promised £15m in funds, where is that cash? We've spent around £2m with money coming in from the Adam transfer and Bougherra leaving. If Whyte want that £16m in CL revenue, then he would have helped Ally have the best possible squad going into the Malmo game instead of underestimating the team. Jelavic got a few chances against Maribor over the two legs, and did he score? no he didn't. Only a Russian team showed interest in McGeady, does that not show anything? Only Russian billionaires would spent £10m on him, he was s**t. Just saying that Jelavic isn't worth £10m, end of.

Your talkin mince pal jelavic is a great player look it the way he controls a ball,the way he strikes a ball its the playrs that are around him that need to inprove

Jelly is s**te you say aye he is when he is getting no supply hes a target man. And is that little rat mcgeady is worth 27mil jelly is worth 50....
And the fact he has nearly a full contract would reach an easy 8 mil min in my eyes.

Do i see him leaving id say yes... Hope not but fingers crossed

I hope this Hately rumour has been put about by some of the Celtic fans just to wind us up as he is totally gash... If we get him then it will be a long long time before we win anything.

Never said that Jelavic was s**te? I think hes a great player, but he only looks so good because of the standard he is playing against. As soon as that standard was raised, he didn't look as effective. And it's not the players round him, he got plenty of service over the four games, and he only took one of his chances. I know he's an idol, I've got his name on the back of my shirt But we've got to waken up a bit. No premier league will come in with a £10m bid, guarentee you. We all thought Bougy was great, look what happened to him. Also, we can also forget about a £3m signing, not going to happen now that we're not in Europe.

27 Aug 2011 19:11:07
There is nothing saying we will sell only ally fears we will sell players we could sign a few player but could be panic buys n my eyes we have no official debt

27 Aug 2011 18:50:59
anybody else think that if we get about 15 m for jella i know he one of our best players but if we did except think we should get matavz 6 m weiss loan offer a precontract juhasz 4 mil and get a top quality centre mid with the rest jst a thought what do u guys think
gav the bear

And who exactly is going to offer 15 million for a player who was mince in europe. i do like him but he and the rest of the team let us all down on thursday

15 million? haha, no club will pay that for a striker in the spl, try around 6-8 million at a push

Think we could buy in 4 or 5 good players for that.

No mate. You are not living in the real world. It may happen, but it more than likely won't. You clearly don't understand the complexities involved in football transfers.

A think ur off ur heed if u think we,l get 15 mill for jelavic never worth that was rotten on Thursday nite

£15mil who will offer that

Yes he was rotten in one game wow imagine that a footballer having a bad game or two remember last season he was awesome nd if celtic value ki at 10 mil then jella must be worth around 15 m
gav the bear

Doesn,t matter is the unwashed value him at 10million or not, who,s going to pay it? Jela 1 bad game??? every bloody game he,s played in europe he has been crap. Those are the games that count, do we get 10million when we beat motherwell etc??

Get a grip ,what planet you on??any money for jelavic will be right in the bank.......rangers are never gonny bid such figures for they(unknown superstars),stick to your x.box

27 Aug 2011 18:09:28
We have been f***ed by this imposter and lier. This is the man who held up the spl trophy and unfurled the flag took al the credit. Old board warned us. Was being first being gers for 31 million dept with bank, 4.6 million to murray. End up paying 19 mil to bank. 1 pound to Murray. So saves nearly 18 million and before take over promised 25 million over 5 years . Spends 1.5 Wallace, 500 grand Ortiz, 800 grand goian. 375 grand bodoya, 500 grand boganegr

I must admit I was disappointed that Whyte unfurled the flag, I felt there was others who deserved to do it more. Many criticized Martin Bain maybe now we have failed to sign so many some will realise he was an asset to the club.

GovanFR

You should disappear and support Man City. Whyte deserves our respect. I didn't see many other takers for the club. He stepped up, unlike the others who talked a good game, so cut him some slack. The signings of Bocanegra, Goian and Wallace are terrific. The Aussie and Bedoya look good players. We've kept Jela, thankfully, and have a decent squad now. Lets stop the negativity.

25 Million over 5 Yrs is last time i was at school 5 million a year and going by what he paid for he has just about spent that about 1.7 Million left inc Bougies fee so we have a total of 4 Million left in Kitty so McCoist is spending wisely that why there Penny Pinching folks not just buying at any Price . Sensible spending and hey wtf is the fuss we are Top of the league with 16 Players Missing Give the Lads Time ffs . Support the Team or gtf and dont comment at all on here . Ally's first year in senior Management give him a break for the love of god he worked under the wings of Sir Walter for yrs and now he learning the task of standing on his on 2 feet and not being in the shadow of Sir Walter . It is Frustrating folks but Man up we are Rangers . W are the People we are beginning to sound like the Mhank Mob paranoia setting In .

KEEP BELIEVING .

And where would we have been without him. No Davis, Whitaker, MacGregor no new signings and up to our necks in Bank debt. While things might not be great they could be a whole lot worse.

Whyte has not paid any money to the bank to write of Rangers debt, which is estimated at £22m. The debt has been transferred to one of Whyte's companies so it still exists and is still owed to Lloyds Banking Group. As part of the deal to take over Rangers, if Rangers lose the tax case, then the £22m debt transfers back from Whyte's company to Rangers. There will then be the estimated £40m payment to HMRC, which will leave Rangers around £62m in debt.

Get your figures right. We were not £31m in debt. It was down to about £24m. Sir David Murray was due £4.5m but when the £2.8m tax debt came up just before the takeover Sir David just sold the club for £1. The £1.7m difference was ment to go to Ally transfer kitty but due to the fine that Rangers were given due to the tax not being paid on time well you guessed it that money will probably go to paying that.
Ff81

The old board? You mean the ones who got us into this mess in the first place??
FFS get a grip
They thought their jobs were safe, but when a businessman came in and let them go, they all go into a huff.
No matter what Whyte bought the club for, he's stuck to his word with the team.
He's re-signed our important players and brought in fresh faces. They may not be the best, but they're OURS

Is that why McCoist came out and said he doesn,t know if we,ll be able to keep our star players?? This site is for every fan and not just the ones who think whyte is GOD, i for one don,t think he is

You never really expected sensible comment from a stupid rant did you? If you are a Rangers man then shame on you - you are a disgrace if not then cheerio - back to lalla land yorkielad

Granted...out of europe is a sh#tter but everything else has been the same start to any of the recent skint gers seasons. give it 10 games and if things have re-gressed then we can start the doom and gloom besides things could be worse...neil lennon could live next door.

Rangers is a business....end off

Please explain how we have been 'f****d' Timmy??

Do not trust whyte not delivered anything he said he would when it comes to transfers.

Count the spend on new players mr whyte after you count the cash received for the sale of Bougy and percentage sell on transfer of adam and the total spend is £1.4 million on new players. We have never replaced Miller so even at domestic level we are short,it aint rocket science we need a striker

I agree with the Flag part he could have invited Walter Smith or even asked John Greig to unfurl the flag but for the rest of your scribe,what a load of nonsense,the only time he might be due some questions is if he allows the sale of the likes of Davis McGregor etc as this will effect our challenge for the title.

27 Aug 2011 17:56:11
What about having a look at Damien Le Tallec. He is a good young prospect. Good pace and strength. He plays for Bourissa Dortmund. Maybe get him on loan?

Now that's an omen if I've ever heard one....

His wages will probaly be to much

27 Aug 2011 17:32:36
Enough is enough. Every gers fan out there knows were crying out for a creative midfielder and a striker. So obviously there's no way whyte's goni put his hand in his pocket to get anybody now were oot of europe. So there's only 1 option SELL. Edu, (20p for beattie), broadfoot, mculloch. Were short on defenders so we cani let go of Mr incosistancy(whittaker). As for midfield bye bye to pass back brothers M&M) as bedoya n Mackay will bring fresh blood. We need 2 more players badly guys.

You say we need two new players, but you want to get rid of 7?
How do you cover any spots then?
I agree those players are not playing well, but to get rid of them all, without replacing, would pass the title to the east.

Bedoya and mckay are creative midfielders i believe? i trust mccoist, who was once a world class striker, to bring in the right man for the striking position. Muzz

If you read the post am not talking about getting rid of seven just 4. The M&M brothers are Maurice Edu & Mculloch. That should free up some cash for wages and to buy. If its true emerenko is only valued at 300K well ill take that in a minute as we'll get more forward play from him than they 2 and maybe get a striker in way some potential. So there's no seven leaving just four.

Sell edu keep the rest we need players that are strong in the air and on the ground we need a really good winger to put the ball in area every time

Get rid of edu and broadfoot

Beatties overpriced at 20p

27 Aug 2011 17:11:51
i think big butcher should be rangers manager and my mate says , whyte has had words with the big man as he is on th staff at inverness , if the big man had been in charge we would still be in europe
ally is a legend but just wrong time for him


gers78

Butcher floped at coventry

Ally is a legend but not a manager. His failure as a manager could tarnish his legendary status and he doesn't deserve that

I will give ally a bit more time to find his feat , xmas if still no improvment i would really like Ray Wilkins come in and do the job and if not then someone else lol butcher is a good guy but i dont think he'd be able to handle rangers

markky watp

Ally wont be sacked,but dont give it to butcher he is useless,he could not even manage brentford for f,,,,cks sake,,,,,,,

Top of the league tomorrow. just forget about this new manager nonsense for now. a season to get a settled team, win the league hopefully and then if he fails to get by the qualification stages next year then we can shout for his head. just think how bad poor neil lennon feels, he has had the full backing of his board with a huge squad and wage bill and what has he achieved so far ?

Butcher aint the answer either. We need a foreign manager to teach our players how to play the ball on the deck, one twos n short passes, n how to keep the ball. I know this wont happen due to no one wanting to manage he of a decent calibre.

Yes lets have Butcher he is dazzling us in the spl with his brilliant team NOT

What about stuart mccall

Super ally is the the man for the job let him build his team and i am sure he will become a legend as manager as well as a player get behind the team as we are the people

The Dane should have been brought back to Ibrox years ago if you are sure you want to play football.

27 Aug 2011 15:56:43
Just an opinion but i dont think Rangers will be signing anyone for the rest of the window, personally i think we desperately need another striker and a creative player so we dont depend on Davis so much but i think Ally will look at the squad and will be happy with what he has got which would dissapoint me, but who knows Bedoya or Mckay might turn out to be that creative player we need and Lafferty might bang the goals in.

Mckay is the creative player we are looking for the same as Bedoya the problem is as you say we need a goalscorer and seeing the scores today I can't help feeling we should have taken a punt on the boy sandaza at st johnstone I know he is a bit injury prone but lets face it who isn't at IBROX and every time I seen him play when fit he looked quality don't know if that is because of our league mind you but I know he was injured at brighton last year and never got a chance he only has a years contract at st johnstone so I think SUPER ALLY should see how he does up 2 january he is still only 28 and maybe get him on a pre contract not exactly going to burst the bank in wages either.
WATP

I think we've got enough in the squad to easily push seltic close this year. I think it will be a close finish this year if no further players are brought in by either squad. I'm not sure who i'd put my money on if i was a betting man... but as a die hard rangers fan, i think/hope we will edge it during the last week of the season. Muzz

27 Aug 2011 15:45:48
2013-2014 spl champs face 3 qualifiers in the champs league

If that's true Looks like champions league is more corrupt than. Thought it was...

27 Aug 2011 14:57:55
Ok we've been knocked out of europe(twice) Lets get a grip,worse things can happen. If we can keep our players(apart from clubfoot,whittaker,mcculloch and edu too) and get a couple more in. Keep any money we have left for January to let new players bed in for next season.

If the unwashed do sneak in to the europa league its not a bad thing. They will get humped and get injuries and will get put out quickly. Meanwhile we will be concentrating on the league and treble. Straight into the Champs Leaugue next year.

Mon the Saints 2moro. 4iar here we go

Winners of the spl don't get straight into the Champs League next year cos we lost to Malmo, so will have to play the 3rd qualifier to get into the CL

No they do not. The winners next still go directly into europe - they do not need to quaify - it is in future years there will be 2 or 3 qualifiers.

Thats the year after

You deluded muppet.....fat sally in the paper today saying you's may have to sell players, and you think you will win the treble

Nae chance

DazzaBhoy

Get yer facts right, gordon smith stated it on bbc radio scotland the other week that there will be no direct access to the CL for winners of the spl this season so the winners will play in the 3rd qualifier, do some research

Dazzabhoy why don't you go back to the runners up page you lot are in a dire way as well , no position to gloat .

27 Aug 2011 14:42:48
hardly any time left in transfer window. supporters just went through couple of nights of sheer hell. and what is the headline news on rangers website. Get your dons programme. swear tae god you coodnae make this up.
dont think its craig whyte thats running rangers. think its billy roberts, the circus dude.FFS.

27 Aug 2011 13:43:03
adam le fondre signed 3 year deal with reading undisclosed fee (sky sports)

27 Aug 2011 13:35:56
Jelavic will not be leaving Rangers this season or in January. He can't play Champions League football with Man Utd and they don't really have enough time to sell Berbatov, so why would they even try and buy him.
As for Jelavic going to QPR or some lower EPL team, what is the point, he may play each week but I'm sure these types of clubs were in for him before he came to Rangers, so why not go straight there. If anything he is holding out for a move to the top four and who would blame him, he did give John Terry the run around in the first half against Chelsea.

Jelavic speaking on Rangers website about goal last season against Aberdeen gives good reason to believe he will stay.

"I hope I can repeat that kind of goal a few times this season and it would be nice to do that this weekend as it will be a tough game"

Can't get more reliable or believable than your clubs website.

First time poster. I just had to post when I saw all this B.S about our top players leaving. McCoist is having a tough time with it already, if he sold Jelavic or davis for that matter (just signed a new contract) he would basically be signing his own death warrant, and we haven't got the time to replace these types of players.

He;'s hardly going to say that he wants to leave, is he?

Have you read this morning papers. rangers may have to accept bids for their players and it out of coistys control. i personally think there has been an overreaction with regards to jelavic. i dont think hes as good as some rangers fans bang on. the fact is that man utd dont want him and he certainly isnt good enough to play in this current utd team. he does a reasonable job in the spl, but no more than that. simple his agent was claiming that manchester utd made an enquiry but there is no truth in it. having said all of that , when hes on his game he is an important player for rangers and if he were to be sold, it would be disasterous for the club.

Told you's yesterday players would leave mate at murray park told me and you all thought i was a tim.

27 Aug 2011 13:06:42
I for one am f@cked off with this £25m over 5 years £15m could be front loaded, we spent nothinng buying avarage at best players excluding wallace who i think was best we done.

Now all of a sudden according to the sun wemight have to start selling big name players? this is total and utter bollocks.

Has this whyte c@nt not got any money? who approved this arse as a fit and propper person?
e never been so worried about this club in all my life.

Think whyte should be forced to stand in front of the fans and explain, or he should get used to a empty ibrox coz none of that cash going anywhere near the team

When rangers greatest ever player mr john greig came out and publically questioned mr whytes credentials and thought that he was not the right person to be taking on the club then alarmbells were ringing back then. i for one are not surprised at the whole craig whyte fiasco. the man clearly doesnt have the financial muscle to take the club to where the supporters had hoped for.

Give the man a chance he is only a few months into his ownership and he has cleared our debt which was about £30 million plus has spent about £4 million on the squad Wallace Goian Bocanegra Ortiz Bedoya McKay and also got the likes of Davis Mcgregor Whittaker (who is showing he is more of a winger than defender) and Wylde all we need now is a right back and a center forward and i think we are set to win 4 in a row

27 Aug 2011 12:21:11
looks like celtic are away to sign highly rated striker mohamed bangura 71 goals in 120 aps £2 mil plus they wont for him and been linked with chelsea arsenal newcastle and more

And? This is The Rangers rumour page??

Who cares if he was that highly rated why is he going to celtic

Because he wants a league winners medal THIS season.

I remember there being a lot of confidence from the green and white half of the city in each of the last 3 seasons, remind us how many of these championships ended up at parkhead

27 Aug 2011 11:59:44
Be4 u all start sayin ur not a real fan i'm sick of hearin that, if mr tight sells jelevic i'll be handin my season book back sellin our only hope of winning the league 2 days be4 the transfer window shuts makes no sense expect to some1 that just wants 2 make money out the club, we where meant 2 spend big money not sell. Craig Whyte out, protest shd take place if he sells jelevic

Handing your book back would just be stupid..you dont get a refund it would just be you that misses out and they would just sell it on again once you confirm you have gave it up..
more money for him..
why dont you give your season book to someone who wants it and would appreciate going to see the team they love..
yes its been a big dissapointment but lets move on there is nothing we can do about previous results just back our team to win all our domestic trophy's, which i think should be able to win comfortably..

bocanegra-90 odd caps usa played england/france etc
goian-played italy for a decent team/romania regular
wallace-scottish international
ortiz-played in spanish top league
bedoya -usa international

and the rest of the squad that won us 3 league titles in a row..

new era new challenge...
WATP..

The club is absoulte joke the squad is a shambles we are crying out for an attacking midfielder yet not even tried to sign one now we are out of europe nobody will sign we will be lucky to get any loan signings and where is the marque signing we were promised and is there any money at all

27 Aug 2011 11:28:38
would it be so impossible to get hutton back? 3 million, 25k a week, would hutton take 25k? and would mr whyte pay it?

WIN the league Mr Whyte SPECULATE to ACCUMULATE get rid of the dross not the few quality players we have- big CL money for the league winners -quality over quantity show us your a man of your word

We have NO money the quicker we get that into our heads the better,Whyte has lead us all a merry dance.

Huttons had a taste of the epl,no chance he will come back here,as well to pull the shutters down on scottish football now,its so depressing

Hutton will be going to Villa

As much as i think he would be a descent signing, i think that a creative midfielder and striker is vital to us making it 4 in a row. get whittaker and broadfoot out and put mcmillan at right back

Hutton would not want to come back, scottish football is at an all time low.

27 Aug 2011 11:02:22
I dont know why people are still on here posting about buying players....
The only buying around rangers from now on will be top players being bought from us.
I reckon 10 million needs to be recouped and that will be forced from mr 'not very' whyte.

Jelly, mcgregor both look they could bring in top money and i reckon we can cope domestically without them. and hopefully someone takes edu for free...

Some sad days ahead fellow bears.

If somebody was goin to pay top money for mcgregor they would have done it by now

I'm not going to call you a tim or anything... but i think you've got the wrong end of the stick. Muzz

Id agree mate, from what ally says in the papers today we may need to sell. This is unbelievable. We should have spent more in the first place and this wouldnt have happened. Maybe that was whytes plan all along eh?

This was supposed to be a new beginning, now it seems we're even closer to the edge. Cant forget 4iar too

Doubt mcgregor will go.. planet you living on

27 Aug 2011 10:58:58
heard from a good source jelavic has asked to leave. qpr and wba both interested

Give it a rest. Stop posting rubbish. A good source my a*se. Muppet

Why do people make up lies.

Ally has stated no guarantee top stars will not be sold if we we lose davis jela and mcregor we might as well sell the rest and bring the reserves in and have a young squad for the future and bring in foreign coach to teach some of the basics and do a full day practicing on their weaknesses

A whole full day......Right enough, why doesn't Ally think of that? Sell everyone except from the under 15's and spend a whole day correcting their bad points. Just one day, that's all it would take. Genius

We have players at ibrox who are on 20 grand a week who cant cross a ball cant trap a ball and cant pass a ball iam not going to name them but if you think that these guys are not in need of extra coaching a full day everyday instead of turning up for abit of training

27 Aug 2011 10:49:44
Looking at these comments some are Ridiculous expecially the one about Bedoya McKay making or break the season. pmsl. Are you Forgetting we have 17 Players out . And onec we have the Options available we will be a better team . If we had even half the players available on Thursday Night we would be in Group Stages . McCoist pick who he has Available cant do much it too bad we have been hit by Injuries at this time and for Ortiz the mans a Right Back well thats where he has been playing for the past 2 yrs and everythings a change to him .. Country , Weather , Culture , Language and more .Give him time the signs have been there but he will played at Right back now we have Bedoya . . Mark My Word we will get better.

McGregor
Ortiz , Goin , Bocanegra, Papac
Bedoya, Davis , McCulloch , Wallace
Jelavic , Naismith

Subs to choose from

Alexander
Weir
Broadfoot
Whittaker
Ness
Edu
Healy
Lafferty
Wylde
Hutton

And no Doubt Doiuf as he will be back at Ibrox

Mcculloch before ness. You shouldnt comment on other peoples comments before you watch the team ur talking about

Agree with your comments-no doubt we will get better-get the league won as major priority-genrates large amount of CL money this season.dont sell assets only fringe players even if it means freeing certain individuals ie Beattie lessen the wage bill

Glad to see someone giving ortiz a chance. Seems to be just two of us though... Muzz

I've given Ortiz the benefit of the doubt until Thursday but Thursday he was so bad it was beyond belief.

Sell him now

I will always give a new player a chance aswell.
y wood u have mcculloch in the team before ness and hutton, also naismith plays better in midfeild not as a striker

weeblue

Ortiz is a shocking excuse of a footballer and anyone that cant see that is blind His old manager at Almeria said he had blistering pace?? Eh Whit

He also said he is very skillful and a good finisher. I think their manager was on drugs when he picked him every week

If Ortiz was a shocking excuse for a footballer, he would not have been at Almeria and then end up at Rangers, he has potential - he is playing in a totally different country, totally different league, totally new way of playing football - GIVE THE GUY A CHANCE SO HE CAN GET TO GRIPS OF THE PACE OF HOW SCOTTISH FOOTBALL IS PLAYED then after a season, if he cant hack it, then is the time to make your judgement on him, not less than 10 games in.

Ortiz was a left winger for Almeira so a dnt no were ur gettin this right-back stuff fae

27 Aug 2011 10:24:20
I fear that the success of bedoya and McKay could become the make or brake of our season.

27 Aug 2011 09:27:21
Out's
Fleck (Blackpool loan)
Broadfoot (Preston loan)
Beattie (Southampton free)
Weir (Released surplus)
Edu (Blackburn 1.5m)

In's
Jamie Murphy (900k)
Rhys Murphy (Free)

Not very positive but Ally under severe pressure to reduce wage bill by around 50k per week or lose a big name...

Is this what you would like/predict/a s peculation? or are you posting this as a rumour?

You should get a job at ibrox Lol

How is he under pressure with the wage bill....he was given a budget whyte didnt come in & tell him the budget must b cut

Why would you then sign players if you have to reduce a wage bill? It's the tic if anything that has to reduce their wage bill since their squad is huge .

Our wage bill was 14m at start of summer. This was allowed to be increased to 18m when whyte came in. With the signings weve made so far i doubt we have went over that.

Beatie for free ... no

27 Aug 2011 09:08:42
People don't half talk some mince. Bedoya hasnae played a game yet for god's sake He was playing for a Swedish team I've never heard of. "He looks good on youtube but"- type "Peter Crouch" into youtube and you'll probably get that acrobatic volley he scored, but he's still a giraffe on rollerskates. Maybe reserve judgement until he actually plays a game.

Randolph TB

Aye crouch is murder eh idiot

Get over our team mate... We've fallen to a new low (Scottish football in general). Who cares if you haven't heard of his ex-team. How many of us heard of malmo, maribor, sion?? If the guy can play in the Swedish League there's a great chance he'll have something to offer in the SPL. How much damage would edu, lafferty, whittaker, mcculloch, broadfoot and co do in the sweidsh league?

Hey Randolph Timothy

Peter Crouch could score goals for Fun in the SPL ha Zoomer And if you have aver taken the time to watch International Football ya Fud, you will see Bedoya ashe is an International Footballer who plays in a team that are Ranked high up in World Football. See some of the Zoomers who post utter s**te on here you wall want to start talking some sense Otherwise go to the DARK SIDE

I can't see where you are coming from with regards Peter Crouch, he is a top player. Big guy, great skill, load's of assists and scores a few aswell, especially for England. I do agree youtube (5 minute clips) can make anyone look good or bad, bud I always say, never judge a player before you've seen him play, and by that, I mean a good 15 - 20 games 1st.

Would people stop being so down on the manager.

We had 17 shots on target last night. We cannot compete with other leagues which can offer more money. Players do not want to come to Scotland, it's that simple. FFS, give him one season, not 4 European games

Sorry, I didn't realise that Sweden & Slovenia were two of the big leagues in Europe

Been told Scott McDonald & Yakubu are the 2 strikers Ally is looking at :(

Hope tae f*ck it's not true but the guy who told me let me know about Weiss last season before the media even had a sniff of it... I've got no reason to doubt him

Both can actually pass the ball and score goals get them in they cant be any worse than what there already.

Aye know sum1 will prob jump in and say loyalty doesn't matter anymore but i know for a fact Scott McDonald wud not sign for Rangers. When uz tried to get him 4 years ago it was never on the cards coz he had been told of Celtics interest. U wont meet a bigger Celtic fan or a more Celtic minded family than skippy's. Trust me.

I hope its true cos we aint gonnae get better and neither will Celtic.

Yakubu had a good spell at leicester city last year and stayed fit. Would be an ideal signing but can't see it happening. {Ed025's Note - be careful what you wish for...he is lazy, and his attitude stinks!

I second the first comment both would do a job for rangers

Like the sound of that - forget that MacDonald played for Septic (Miller did too remember) - and the Yak could be stand in for Jelly

I would sign the yak and mcdonald .the are goalscorers,,mcdonald and jelavic would be a good partnership.watp
