Rangers Rumours Archive January 27 2012

i have just heard from a good source that the other mob have signed pawel brozik on loan

To be fair mate im a celtic fan and the way your club has conducted its business and its handling of players recently more so trialists if it was a choice im sure celtic would come out tops each time, wouldnt you agree? Willybhoy

He's goin to rangers apparently. green jhedi

Well your wrong willy cause the polish lads coming to the bears on loan, possibly permanent !!

Wullie, I think you might be wrong, but I do get your point.

Pete

Willy, sometimes the trialist fail to impress or as we have seen recently, are attracted by the so called promised land that is down South. Some get offers but want more than the clubs are prepared to pay. Rangers are doing nothin different from any other club,,, yes even Celtic. By the way, it's always good to have a depth of pool, but I'm looking at Celtic and can't help wondering when the s**t is going to hit the fan. There's no way Celtic can sustain the size of squad they have at the moment. They are operating on borrowed time (and money).

We have a guaranteed 13 mill credit with bank underwritten by dd think I should be more bothered about ur own sinking ship.think you'll find our taxes and debts are paid in full on time as we're not run by an ego maniac or a con man
Hoodbhoy

Celtic are operating on borrowed money aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh when will WE get our head out the sand they have had they accounts sigmed off and it showed a small amount of debt so let think about our own club(what left of it) lets get together and try and save our club.Even before the tax case the unadited account show liabilities in the next year (thats this june)we hae to find over £40m-wake up bears before it too late

Willybhoy
Celtic deny VVV Venlo claim over Michael Uchebo. He knocked you back.
The Dutch club say they have rejected a bid from Celtic for the Nigerian striker but sources at the Parkhead club say that is not true. Of course it isn't celtic always tell the truth, maybees.
sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/celtic/295318-celtic-deny-vvv-venlo-claim-over-michael-uchebo/

We have no debt and a wage structure in place so we can sustain the benifets of having a big squad we dont do what what yous do hand big contracts to all your star players so yous can try flog them for big prices then when s**t hits the fan yous realise no1 wants them and cant afford to pay them was only a few month ago the wonderful craig whyte said he needed to cut wage bill by 7 mil so concern yourself with your own club please :-)

Celtic are paying the wages of about 26 players. The rest are on loan.

Haha,borrowed time.what a straw clutcher,wake up n smell the coffee! you are deeply in debt and thats not counting the tax case! if you win all appeals(and thats what it is) you will still have around 5m to pay.

Celtic paying 26 players, p!sh, thay have 30 first team raegulars and big wage earners in the squad and 8 fringe players in it. They also have 8 plkayers out on loan, thats 46 in total, Im certain this will be celtics biggest squad ever. Three years without CL football and a squad this size, yet they make a token £100,000 profit, my a*se. Their wage bill was 9 million more than us the year before last, ours is being cut and theirs is growing. I think they may even be double what ours will be this year. It was 56% of their turnover two seasons ago including one CL qualifier and a UEFA group run, their turnover has decreased every year since. There is no McGeady ect transfer windfall to balance the books this year, despite NL openly stating at press conferences that at least 4 of his player must be in the 10 million pound "bracket" this year to try and generate sales. So in my opinion things are not as rosey as the board like to feed to their fans.

Hoodbhoy do you have inside info to back your claims ? Word on the street is that celtic owe dd at least 10 million, which he would want back one day, whilst you are being spoon fed all this c**p ask yourself this one question. where is all this money Celtic keep telling us about ?.

Celtic turnover 2011 - £52.6 Million.
Rangers turnover first 6 months 2011 - £33.7 Million.
Celtic wage bill 2010 - £36.5 Million.
Rangers wage bill 2010 - £21 Million.

Its not hard to work out who is heading in the right direction financially and who isnt bears.

Ritchie712

Michael uchebo? dont think he knocked us back, the guys a mercenary whos looking for a lot more than hes worth, you cant knock back something thats not offered to you! thats why rangers papped him back on the next available flight! all im saying is if im a player and looking at getting to one of the big 2 in scotland then it would be celtic, as rangers are skint, awaiting outcome of a possible crippling tax case and an owner that has failed on his promises and conducts his business in a very dodgy manner! Willybhoy

Dont talk shyte Ritchie its not as if as its an optional thing. Rangers have had no choice but to cut the wage bill.

You can see the Celtic accounts as they have been published.

Celtic's squad is too big but there are a few high earners out of contract in the summer: Loovens, Maj, Cha, Wilson etc which will lower the wage bill dramatically.

I think its fairly amusing that Rangers fans are coming on here and accusing Celtic of financial mis-management.

Word on the street! are you having a laugh? word on edmiston dr is brace yourselves its a nightmare!

Looks like i was right all along! so to the two posters that said i was wrong, how do u feel now? Willybhoy

27 Jan 2012 22:17:06
Boyd turns down USA Move!
Quoted I'm not ready for that type of move at my time of life.
If I was a betting man he shall be wearing the Royal Blue
Jersey very very shortly!! Also Fact David Murray back at Murray Park for meeting with Ally!! What's going on with Mr Murray??????

God only knows what happening with SDM, it could have been a innocent meeting, but knowing some people will put 2 + 2 together and come up with 7

Murray owns murray park prob just a chat , if i was ally id of smacked him square on the chin for dropping him in the s**t

For christ sake it was a scheduled appointment. Why add lies to a story

Murray had a meeting with the club doc. graeme

Your a bit late with this news.

Who's added lies

Murray never went to MP for medicals, the Doctors went to him. Strange things going on

Have you forgotten that it is Sir D M that has put us in this position, why would you even mention his name, and to suggest that he should come back, has he not done enough damage?

27 Jan 2012 21:17:42
Before Michael Uchebo came to Rangers, he went to Celtic!

You had a bid knocked back! kept that one quiet boys.

sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/celtic/295318-celtic-deny-vvv-venlo-claim-over-michael-uchebo/

Probably true my friend no shame there ,difference is we can afford a transfer fee/contract
Hoodbhoy

It was his agent that was trying to tout flog him to us for more money and we were not interested

27 Jan 2012 21:16:12
this was on the radio two nite gordon smith is in edinburgh at the caladonian hotel having ameet with a potenial buyer an rangers are expected two be sold in the next 4 two 6 weeks no sure who the buyer was but am sure it was mccoll at was in edinburgh this was on real radio 100 percent

Can only say that I can't see any truth what so ever in this

Got to say Gordon smith is the last guy I would send to meet a potential buyer.guys a zoomed.mcoll isn't going to buy us.

Funny enough i dropped my son and his pals off at the secc earlier and im certain gordon smith and i take it his wife/partner were walking in to watch Snow Patrol

So smudgers capable of selling a football club now ? Pure fantasy !

More likely He is in Edinburgh to meet oconners representatives as a back up if jelivic goes, it was a taxi driver who said he saw him no mention of buyer I listened to the show as well

Dannager4life

Whats it to do with G smith, he should not even be at Rangers, don't you think the buyer would be better talking to whyte

Thats not what said, the caller said Gordon Smith and two photographers was seen in the Caladonian Hotel, a couple of min later some guy said he phoned the hotel asking to speak to Gordon Smith for Glasgow Rangers and was told he was in a meeting, do you really think a staff member in the hotel would even say that he's in a meeting. Nothing was said about Jim McColl, for god sake we cant even get a rumour right

Why the hell would gordon smith be in a meeting concerning the sale of rangers

how many straws can be clutched?

you lot are different class, i'll give you that lol!

taco

He's in edinburgh opening the hotels new sunbed section.green jhedi

Send in dorin goian for talks! he will come striding out having got potential buyers to invest 300 mil and he will run the club and slam the revolving door on the way out!

Haha, great story. Since Im a manager at the cally, i find it hard that i would not know he was coming in. BS story guys!

Haha, great story. Since Im a manager at the cally, i find it hard that i would not know he was coming in. BS story guys!

thank god that a manager of the cally was on rangers rumours then to let us know the rumour is a load of nonsense, cheers mr manager of the cally

That you Terry Butcher the manager of the Cally ?

Let me guess we will know in 48 hrs hahahha

I have a job (manager at cally) just like you (might) have a job, does me having a job there mean i should not come on here? I usually come on here for a laugh to see who we are "linked" with fyi

I have a job (manager at cally) just like you (might) have a job, does me having a job there mean i should not come on here? I usually come on here for a laugh to see who we are "linked" with fyi

i meant what i said, thank god the manager of the cally happened to be on rangers rumours to let us know the story was a load of nonsense, cheer again my manager of cally

So far tonight Jellyfish been seen in Glasgow, Manchester, London and boarding a plane to Moscow.

He gets around in one night

Haha superjellyman wish he was that quick at playing football he would be worth alot more than £8m

Apparently he got a flight from glasgow to manchester and then was going to get a flight to moscow but that was delayed, he drove to london and got a flight from there x

Not bad for a guy with a dose of the s**ts

Yet he was seen boarding a flight in Manchester going to Moscow, flights from Manchester to moscow fly out in the morning out at night, plus if he was flying to Moscow why not fly straight from Glasgow

He was at an airport but decided to drive to London.

He must be using santas sleigh lol./biggles

So update Jellyfish been seen in Glasgow, Gretna, Manchester Airport boarding a plane, leaving Manchester Airport by car, London and on a plane to Moscow.

Ends up... alloa fur a packet of space raiders n a can irn bru

27 Jan 2012 20:11:09
I hope to god more than anyone this is wrong, so don't shoot the messenger. Got a message from a friend saying we have lost the tax case and will fold, start up under a different name and Jim McColl will invest at that point

Another rubbish comment, McColl already said the he's got no interest in buying over Rangers last year.

The tax case decision hasn't been made yet. It will be in the public domain when it has

I got a message from a friend who wants me to invest in a African bank to triple my money in one week!!

Is your friend one of the tribunal judges?

Maybe he meant Jim Mcoll of the beechgrove garden!

Load a p'sh, once again i feel sorry for the ED having to go through all these bullsh't posts, ed.....said before and will say again i tip my hat to you!! {Ed014's Note - Thank you.Nice to hear a bit of appreciation compared to what we usually get.

Heard that one aswell from someone who works with Rangers murray would not sell to him unless he bought MIM aswell.

As I said I hope this is not true. This is about rumours and I heard a rumour. No one more than me hope's this is b-ll-cks.

Quiet ed get back to the ironing! {Ed001's Note - ironing? What's that?}

27 Jan 2012 19:37:34
Jelavic knows hes more likely to get into a better team or get a better offer in the next transfer window because he knows he can show off more talent with croatia than rangers (croatia play 100x better football). its in his best interests to stay here until the next season begins because his good performance in the euros will get him more wages and a bigger team to play for in the EPL.

He rarely starts for croatia.

Trouble is he is 3rd choice striker.

I think he will get played alot actually, when u look at their strikers, if he plays consistantly well for rangers towards the end of the season he will get started alot.

No chance he will play before olic petric or eduardo

He has only scored 2 goals for Croatia and both were in friendlys , I hardly think he is on fire for his country .
CelticMatt

Olic doesnt even get in the lineup for some crazy reason, petric is s**t enough now that jelavic on form is better than him

Croatia play with a target man and a nippy striker.
Mandžukic is the target man and he is a lot better than Jelly, only 25 as well so apart from injuries to this guy Jelavic isnt going to get a look in.

Mac

27 Jan 2012 18:46:25
cska moscow willing to pay 8 mill for jelavic

27 Jan 2012 18:32:56
Rangers will make a last minute move to sign Kris Boyd. (Although he's lazy with the service of Wallace, Davis and Aluko he'd be banging in the goals.

Dave.

Not got a club could sign him after January so it won't be last min could get him any time

I can't remember the last time I saw Wallace put a decent ball into the box.
If you think Boyd was fat and lazy when he left, after not having played for months, you can imagine what he is like now.
What we are missing up front is pace and Boyd sure as hell ain't gonna give you that.

No what were missing is goals not pace you can run as fast as u want all day it wont win u a game goals win

What service, our midfield are dreadful as a creative unit. They cannot even provide good crosses and good passes to Jelavic who is a much better striker.

27 Jan 2012 18:08:00
It says that celik could be in the squad tommorow so he could play up front or aluko. Just a thought

Agree celik is a great signing
gettin his name on my top tomorrow
CELIK !

That a shame, he'll be wearing Mervan 24 on his

27 Jan 2012 17:18:43
Celik will not be allowed to play tomorrow, GAIS have witheld his registration as the compensation has yet to be paid, just a technical issue that Whyte has not addressed yet

How on earth do you know information like this? Do you have a mole on the inside? Stupid boy!

He will be playing tomorow so don't spout rubbish please

Well mccoist has been quoted on the rangers twitter saying he is in the squad

mark

The information was in the media early this week

Celtic fan in peace

stop the rubbish posting
Celik has signed and can play tomorrow
Rangers have 30 days from date of sigining to pay any compensation if they have to pay any and im sure your Ed will clarify {Ed014's Note - I've already answered that elsewhere,you are right though.

Rubbish . We have 31 days to pay the compensation , doesnt have to be paid straight away therefore he can play tomorrow!! Stop posting pish mate {Ed014's Note - It's 30 days.

27 Jan 2012 17:10:03
Was that another phantom bid 7 million from west ham but hold on did they actually bid ?? Big yo

There was no bid, wake up, west ham are skint too

27 Jan 2012 16:28:06
jelivic is off defo not playing the morra another bug!! but ive heard McGregor is off to he had his night out on Monday at the St Andrew boxing club and a number of player in attendance have any you heard anything

Greegs is going nowhere, why do folk insist on posting such nonsense

Yes, i've heard that you are talkiing utter rubbish

So how do you know its nonesense then?

27 Jan 2012 16:24:50
If an offer of 7 million was actually made then we were daft not to accept it and give Ally something, no matter how little, to work with. Lets not forget Jelavic cost 4 million 18 months ago when he played in Austria, i don't see Scotland being a huge step up from the Austrian league so an increase in valuation from 4 million to 10 million after 18 months isn't justified imo. Don't get me wrong the guy has ability but guys like Defoe and Crouch go for around 10 million down south and they are established EPL goalscorers. I would much rather see us go and bring in another striker from the SPL like Johnny Russell or Jamie Murphy who would give us 100% rather than keep hold of a player that didn't want to be here. What we lose in quality, we'd make up for in effort. Plus we have Celik (or Mervan) to come in maybe he can do us a turn.
J1985

Well made point. Newcastle have just brought in Papiss Demba Cisse for £9m and Man Utd brought Hernandez for £6m. Clubs are looling for value for money and £10m for Jelavic isn't that. He has no pace, something that EPL clubs want.

I see ur logic but Jelavic was "cutprice" and has improved so i say that trouble his price

Listen we all new the trouble we were in we should of sold jelavic for 9mill wen it was offered in the summer - we no he ain't worth more we new he wasn't going to get another contract so as time goes by his price goes down( unless his forms great which it ain't) it's just another example of the tools we have at the club doing bains job. Say what you want about Bain but if he was still here we'd be in much better shape in these windows

I agree with the person that commented before, as a Newcastle fan as well as Rangers Fan, yea that's what the premier league needs

I agree, Jelavic does not have pace and he always put out a live advertisement to EPL clubs when we were in europe that he struggled I know it's not just on him we went out but he did have a few clear cut chances and in europe that's all you get.

9 million you were offered in the summer? Even daily record journalists know that never happened.

27 Jan 2012 15:58:46
People seem obsessed with sending folk out on loan - to free up wages. What happens when the loan period ends and all these players come back to the club - who's gonna pay all the extra wages??

27 Jan 2012 15:34:14
Ally Mccoist "no moves imminent, still has targets in mind" Source Rangers.co.uk

Tell us the truth Mr Whyte, no signings, no money. We deserve to be told!

Just tell us the truth,who exactly is in charge of transfer decisions. The policy in the summer was a joke/the club with all the so called trialist's reporting to Murray Park is a real concern and as the customer the club should refrain from trying to pull the wool over our eyes,we are entitled as the paying customer,to know the truth.

I was looking forward to us getting some new signings but the way it's going we will end up after the transfer window closes we will have one signing but we'll have LOOKED AT A LOT OF PLAYERS WE WON'T SIGN that's the way to go eh?

Once the tax debate is sorted and the bill's are paid, then we can start building again. Everybody seems tae forget, mr whyte is left to sort David Murray tax bill and lawyer bills.

But Whyte might just want to wait until the end of this court case before he invests a Huge fund to a transfer. You need to understand we are just fans he's a business man risking his own name and money cut him some stick the now at lease until after the court case, yes?

27 Jan 2012 14:58:08
I would quite happily see the
transfer window close next week
with the following happening:

out: (5)

Jelavic £8m
Weir Free
Fleck Loan
Ortiz Loan
McKay Loan

Total £8m

In (6)

Celik £0.2m (compensation)
Guerra £2m
Salihi £0.4m
Brozek loan
Bruins Free
Jaager Free

Total 2.6m

Profit £5.4m

Ah you never know it could happen!

It won't be profit mate Vienna are owed money from transfer and % sell on fee I'm afraid.

Profit will be less than three million sadly. Nice to see a more positively thought out post though!

Full marks buddy

Jamie Mac

Thats what i like to see a guy with a sense of reality, we will not be buying anyone worth alot of money and we should gat rid of the dead wood, although i will admit i know not a thing about these guys we are being connected with but that does not mean they are not good players obviously

Vienna have received the full fee from rangers, this was confirmed a couple of months ago. And there is no % sell on clause either

There is no sell on fee for jela, dont listen to all these idiots who think they know the players contract, they dont! smith said when he signed him in 2010 that the deal was help up because rapid wanted a sell on clause and rangers were not going to entertain that idea. If jela goes which i dont think he will tbh, we will get all the money from his transfer as profit, however, if we sign these players u mentioned, besides from being disappointed in the calibire of player we are signing, the profit would be very little once signing fees, agent fees etc come off they transfers

Can't see anywhere that Vienna said that.All they said was that the late payment had been made,no outstanding issues.All that means is at that time the payments were upto date.

Guerra is valued at 2.5 million

I would defo settle for that but our transfer dealings have been a shambles and as the clock ticks on I have a horrible feeling we are all going to be disappointed come the end of the window, really hope I'm wrong tho.

Correct Jels connections with Rapid are no more i wish people would stop saying we owe them money we dont! Although I agree with your post mate well done. Except remove Guerra for 2m its far too much and Salihi and Brozek will be enough strikers we wont sign 3.

Blue Stu

Had to laugh at the last post there,how thick are you?!! "Don't listen to these idiots who think they know the players contracts" Do you know what irony is? And its not what yer mama does to your y-bobs! You are saying YOU know the contract, which ye obviously don't, so you are calling yourself an idiot and telling people not to listen to you!! That, son, is the definition of irony,amongst a host of other things.
So if ye want to call me an idiot - make sure ye understand what you are saying. its just embarrassing

I wouldnt buy Guerra but get the rest and maybe Rudnevs instead

Yes i agree get Rudnevs also Salihi and Brozek

How are yous going to pay these guys you are talking as if you have money in the "warchest" its empty and these trialists are seeing it aswell and heading straight back out the door

Wouldn't it be better to see Ness, Hutton, Perry, Wylde and Hemmings play instead of bringing in more mercenaries? And though he is a 'foreigner', what happened to McKay? What do you think Ed? {Ed014's Note - I always like seeing young players given their chance.McKay must be poor if he can't get near the team right now.

27 Jan 2012 14:07:37
If man city can keep tevez because nobody wants to buy him then surely The Gers can force Jelavic to stay?

Are you some sort of @rse. What don't you understand.

Man City are the wealthiest club in the world and can afford to keep Tevez and sell on their terms.

Rangers are in a financial mess and have to sell Jelavic to provide cash flow for the club until the summer.

Somehow i dont think whytes got that kinda money.but who has! i admire citys stance on this but you need limitless funds n thats what they got. green jhedi

Tevez will go in the summer when he's eligible to play Champions League football. No point in big clubs shelling out £25m now when he can't play for them in the Champion League.

Been on BBC that they are trying to Sue him for the the amount his transfer fee has dropped good as he is acting like a Moody spoiled little bratty. He is the footballing version of an investment banker! Btw not comparing him to jella as jella is not good enough to act like that t**t :)

Here Here, Mancini should make tevez work in the Canteen or Clean Silva's Boots.
As it was said a few weeks back. Billy Sharp payed 3 days after the death of his son for Doncaster Rovers and Scored. Tevez who is on £120K per week refused to play... What a W*nker

Rikkisixx

Sharp is a player who gets more respect every time i hear him talk.prima donnas should listen to this guy. green jhedi

Man city are not the richest club in the world, tevez has not been getting payed, will never play for city again, and city will be lucky to get half of his true valuation, not a great situation

27 Jan 2012 12:34:21
This is what they think of your £10 million pound man in England.

I know what Rangers value him at. But whether they get anywhere near that is another matter.
'I would be surprised if anybody paid that much and were not very impressed, if I'm honest. We watched him for a few weeks and he didn't seem much to write home about.'

Ian

That was only the unemployed Neil warnock's opinion NOT all of England , typical Celtic fans exaggeration.

Every honest rangers fan(and i'm 1) doesn't rate jelavic at 10 million but we need every last penny we can possibly get from the deal. and if any fans believe for 1 second that ally will get any of that to reinvest, think again. it will only free up a wage to bring in someone.

Correct me if I am wrong no name but when I went to School we're and we were plural.

Ian

Neil warnock....epl spokesman n established epl manager eh?! wait a minute relegated with sheff utd, a team now in league 1, brought qpr up n sacked after half a season. this is the guy who was willing to sign titus bramble in december.....his opinion means very little to me n most rangers fans im guessing.
j1985

Im a big fan of Jelavic,But He aint worth 10 million.I'll be very suprised If we get that for him.

Funny, eveningtimes says , spartak moscow ready to offer 9 million, not far off the 10 million mark eh ! Take it and bring in new faces , follow follow

It's cska Moscow n it's 8m not 9

And its Euros !!!!!!!!

I think im missing the point here, whether we think 8 - 9 million or not is it not more important that if he's going no matter the fee would it not be better for ally if he goes before the window closes, or are we not gonna re-invest anything.
by the way i think jela in the right team would command much more than 10 million no probs ayeeee:)

Just coz the times says it dosnt make it true

The way i see it, if u want to buy a player and bring him into your market, then you must be willing to pay your market price, now in england 10m for jella is about right, if jella played with newcastle for instance and liverpool wanted him, they would pay about 18m... so why should scottish teams sell on the cheap? i have never understood this, for years and years english teams come up here and take our best players for pennys, and then 10 games in their value doubles to the epl value... well now it ends, and im glad CW is not budging over the price, you want him, pay up or shut up. Great stuff

Jelavic is a decent player thts it some fans overrate him because hestands out alongside the likes of healy and lafferty but thte truth is if whyte was to get 7-8 million for him tht wood be a great piece of business imo
davie c

Why is everyone saying that jelavic isn't worth 10m? If celtic think that hooper is worth well over 10m then surely jelavic is too. They have identical stats. And with better players i think jelavic would be a good signing for any team in the higher position in the epl. Is everyone telling me that grant holt is a better all round player than jelavic? No chance and he is playing for a team that is 8/9th in the epl.

Big sqaash.

Neither is worth 10 but Celtic can afford to ask for it, Rangers cant.

Rangers are desperate to sell because they need the money, why else would they have hired an agent to pimp him around any club who can afford him?

Every club knows this so they will wait and take him at a knock down price at the end of the window.

And before you start it has already been confirmed that they hired an agent to try and sell him.

Mac

If we get money in does anyone think roman bednar of west brom would be a shout. not a rumour just a suggestion.

As long as he's not looking for more than 3.5k a week, and you keep him away from the training ground....yeh, fire in

taco

27 Jan 2012 11:55:08
Jelavic not at training again today.

I think they give everyone the day off before match day!

How do u know hes not in training is this true he hasnt been there for 2 days?

Thats cause he has a virus.Doh well documented.

He's out with illness n out of hibs game!

Oh a virus,well that explains it.thats prob where mccoist was yesterday,getting his prescription filled n dabbing his fevered brow with rose water.......................green jhedi

27 Jan 2012 11:21:34
uchebo has left the club after 1 days trial saying he wasnt impressed with what he saw

Ally and the club is a pure joke am done with them.

This is a weird one like . on neswsnow its staten that storys are we didn't rate high in training / then theres he left as he wasn't impressed n the vvv venlon manager says they've agreed a 1mill deal with rangers n just w8n on him passin a medical now.. a posted the one below ... this wan really is a mind puzzler to whit parts true lol

Says in the paper that rangers told him he wasny wanted after one days training but his club say a deal will struck by the end of the day

LIES!!

TTG

With all these players coming in on trial does anyone know who invites them. Is it Ally or Smith surely Ally knows who he wants to get in. My feeling is getting players on trial is a PR stunt to make it look like we are actively looking for players when everyone knows we dont have the cash to spend.
Ally not meeting this Uchebo would suggest to me that he didnt have anything to do with his trail. Whats the thoughts folks.

Who does this character think he is, VW Venlo or whatever they are called must have some stadium and some training facilities if they impressed him that much to sign with them, he must enjoy playing in front of 8000 (if that) every week and winning hehaw,

JG

uchebo cuts short his trial at rangers because of first impression of club he didnt like it and dosent feel he is wanted ally mccoist wasnt even there to greet him just start to fink was it allys choice to take him or someone elses?ally has to start giving the fans some answers and start telling us the truth or he should walk.

I blame Ally for the crap football (but Walter Smith was his mentor so not really a surprise). But these tranfser fiascos seem to come from over his head so I feel a bit sorry for him having to put his name to this never ending list of has beens and under acheivers, having said that if he had played McKay, Bedoya etc maybe Whyte and G Smith would see what you get in the "bargain" basement of football, BTW where are Whyte and G Smith ? they're unusually quiet considering all this transfer activity

just read that there is a fee agreed for this deal two go threw if player impresses Glasgow Rangers have been tracking Uchebo for a while and have decided to pounce since he will be out of contract at the end of this season.
Also, a transfer fee less than £1 million has been agreed between VVV-Venlo and Rangers for the 21-year-old forward in case he impresses the Ibrox chief.
The possibility of a deal for Uchebo is also tied to securing a work permit. and there linked with kalu uche aswel both nigerian.

get rid of jelavic for £8m+, get boyd and hamdi salihi, bags of goals between them. get that uchebo guy who is on trial as he is big, strong and young. start involving youth more ( mccabe etc. ) and get rid of dead wood such as broadfoot, healy, ortiz etc thereby freeing up wages for WHEN we win the tax case and mr whyte gets his chance to prove himself.

Uchebo's away he never returned to trainin as he wasn't impressed with what he saw

Thats uchebo cut short his trial today as well theres obviously something very wrong going on if two players have decided to end it after only one day maybe they fot the impression we had no intention of making the moves permanent and are using them to make it look like we are trying to get players in to apease our long suffering fans.
big chris

What would you consider a "win" in the tax case? green jhedi

A some which rangers can handle, that would allow the team to start progressing as normal again would be good enough for me.

Dtp89: thnx mate. what sort of figure you thinking? they deffo owe 2.1 + 1.4 so if they win all penalties n fines that might be the number.would whyte pay3.5m green jhedi

Ed wats ur opinion on the McKay situation... Have him an coisty fell out ? {Ed001's Note - I don't know mate, I have been trying to find out what the hell has happened there. I believe he would have been on the bench regularly but for the age ruling, that is apparently the reason he kept getting left out. But it seems he wants to play, not just sit around collecting pay packets, McCoist isn't of the opinion he is the right player. The rumour I was told, but I am not sure I believe it, is that he was bought to replace Davis, who was expected to be sold but the deal never materialised. So the club got stuck with both, though Ally only needed and wanted one.}

Thanks ... Most reasonable reason I've heard anyway.. {Ed001's Note - yeah, but I get the impression it was a rumour made up to suit someone's theory, rather than based on any evidence. So I am extremely dubious about it.}

Least it's semi rational.. Although don't think we got any bids for Davis that I can mind anyway. You would think the club would say it's not like we are shy about airing our not dirty but filthy laundry these days ! Paulmac

Would it not be an idea to rest davis as he aint playing that well to see if indeed mckay can fill his boots ?

The rumours doesn't make sense. Surely with the team being threadbare Ally would've liked to have both in case of injuries?

As a celtic fan i heard the davis rumour when mckay was bought.it was concerning aston villa,then mcleish was told they had no cash either. green jhedi
