Rangers Rumours Archive July 30 2011

Well....the 2m+ bid is now on sky news, so not only from Jim Spence anymore.

Obviously no 2m buy out clause(more rubbish) if there was then a 2m+ bid as Sky report, would have to have been accepted.

However , Dun Utd valued him at 2m and We refused to pay it last week, only going to 1.4 + adds, now we are going to have to go to 2.5, total embarrassment again, even if we get him now......Rangers have tried to 'bully' Dundee Utd, and we have had our arses felt, big time.

On bbc scotland sport mobile , deal to blackburn is off............ suposedly

As blackburn are out of the picture after goodi turned them down.

there is no higher bid on the table, offer the 2million straight cash and he should be ours..

Arses felt big time ma baws, Aye just put a bid for 4M in and they would still want more. Over 2M for a guy with 1 cap, they should be biting the Gers hand off for it

Balls in DG s court can say he wants to see out his contract if he doesnt get the move that he feels is right for him SIMPLES {Ed047's Note - True but Utd can say that he'll see it out from the bench (though I doubt very much they would

Id withdraw the offer and let the young man go elsewhere his personal preferences dont come into it there are other strikers available klasnic on loan would have done for me or any number of free agents experienced internationals the place is crawling with them..I think allys seeing himself in goodwillie away back when, , , lol

Here here goodwillie? plenty of good strikers out there ffs just awee bit fed up with this crap now. son if u want to play for rangers then say so otherwise go down to blackpool and rot. i really could not care less this is draging on do i care about this boy? not really.

Rangers are acting like a decent business and not just handing out crazy money which IMO could be better spent. Sure Goodwillies scored a few goals but his reputation off the pitch has made his price drop significantly. He has a lot to prove. Throw 2 million to a dutch or eastern european striker and you would get better quality

Agreed, Goodie is '''not''' the saviour of Glasgow Rangers, he's actually a wee nutter who's not too bad at the fitba.....way way over the top about how good he is.

30 Jul 2011 23:28:49
Goodwillie will have Medical monday and be a Rangers Player by monday T Time Source His Agent . Ya Dancer , We sign Top Talent in Scotland They Tryin To Afford a Hasbeen Fae Wales . {Ed047's Note - his agent told you this, did he?

Ye get some right f****s on here talkin as if there in the know, if yeez are that sure of what your sayin put your source up ffs or stop talkin s**te and grow up.

Ed, his agents twitter page did :) {Ed047's Note - help me out here. Tell me who his agent is. I've got a name and there's no Tweets about Goodwillie today

Pure fabrication personally Id prefer the player to go to england to see if he could hack it there but I have my doubts.

Why even bother to make this up just to have a dig at sceptic.Look at their page and theres nae pi5h about so and so is having medicals and that.You are a total plank mate.

Best talent in scotland MO EDU

I understand the frustrations at people not naming sources, but some people are total Bull sh*tters, I agree, however, some cannot reveal sources because to do so lead to problems from their sources. I can provide information passed to me, but I have to be vague, and not go into detail, because if I did, the trail would come straight back to me. I do not post a lot on here, but what I do post is accurate. P.S Maurice Edu is a talented midfield player, he is struggling with the heckling from the fans atm, but with better players around him will prove to be every bit as good as anyone else in our league.

Get a grip and stop moaning about celtic ffs are u a rangers fan or no

30 Jul 2011 23:15:44
Just got a txt from a current dundee utd player sayin david goodwillie has turned down a move to blackburn, obv can't name my source.both clubs agreed a fee for david but he holding out for a move to glasgow rangers...

{Ed031's Note - But the bid from Rangers was REJECTED and the one from Blackburn has not been accepted nor rejected.}

30 Jul 2011 23:14:17
I know it may not be a reliable source but Jim Spence just posted on Twitter:
"Goodwillie/Blackburn deal is dead. Clubs agreed financial terms but the player could not agree personal terms"
Don't shoot the messanger but i'm just passing on what I have read. I'm unsure on whether I believe it myself.

30 Jul 2011 23:07:11
i believe that blackburn have not bid the 2.2mil with add ons because its only this jim spence character that is saying, it if they had bid that kind of money it would have been all over sky sports news.

30 Jul 2011 22:20:40
The reason dundee united have knockd the new bid back is cos thompson houston don't want goodwillie playing against them in the future, and come back to haunt them I realy want the lad at gers but this thompson is playing hard ball Good to see naisy and jelly getting on the score sheet today, here's hoping they have got there shooting boots on by wednesday but a hope edu gets droppd the guys confidence is gone

No, the reason they rejected it is because originally they asked for �2m but Blackburn bid �2.8m so why would they accept a lesser bid?

Its not edu that should be dropped his team mates in midfield aren't doing him any favours think mculloch has lead boots

Who's fault is it Maurice Edu's confidence is shot? He is a fine midfield player, but is being made a scapegoat. He may not be a ferocious tackler, but he has good technical ability (something we lack in Scotland) and he will prove to be a quality player wherever he goes, even though I hope he stays with us. I know football and I know talent, and it is to our shame that we in Scotland still cannot recognise talent. And some still question why we no longer qualify for World Cups and European Chamionships? Sheeeshh, I feel like giving up

30 Jul 2011 22:17:55
This is not a rumour but I would like it to be read.

Can I just remind everyone that this 2.2 Bid from Rangers has come from only one " source "
-JIMSPENCE at the BBC on his Twitter account.

Who put his mortgage on GoodWillie signing for Cardiff 1 week ago.

This is also the man who said Blackburn rovers had already acquired the signature of Goodwillie this morning.

Yet, David Goodwillie by all accounts is still a Dundee United player.

He also stated that Rangers had put forward TWO bids for Goodwillie when we had only put in ONE.

Do not listen to this ginger muppet, do not buy into his twitter posts, he is just doing his job, stirring bulls**t.

I am not saying that Goodwillie will be a Rangers player for definite but I still believe we have a chance of getting him signed up.

my point is.. dont listen to these sources.. lets just see what colours he is holding up in the tabloids soon enough. {Ed021's Note - BBC Sport report by Jim Spence states £1.6 million plus £600K add ons. There is another journalist reporting on Twitter of £2.2 Million plus £600K add ons.

There might be some good point to this,

spencer stated that goodie was being watched by liverpool, arsenal, man utd, wigan, in fact about the only team he didnt meantion was blackburn until there bid came in,

although i wouldnt say everything he says is wrong, i would say what until there is some form of offical statement from either of the clubs or the parents agents..

It was also on sky sports news about 2.2m being rejected for goodwillie not just Twitter so get your facts straight

Ofcourse its on Sky sports because they got it from the Ginger, When i wrote this he was the only one to have informed the public.

So dont tell me to get my facts straight when all im trying to do is reassure everyone that he is not correct 100% of the time, which is the case.

Moron {Ed021's Note - Lads, come on. This is getting spun every each way. Remember where Jim Spence comes from? And what team he supports. There are so many reports flying about, lets just wait and see and it will all come out soon.

Oh and now look, Mr Goodwillie according to Mr Spence, cant agree personal terms with BBurn

Spence, FIRST to break the story.

30 Jul 2011 22:04:33
Doian was puffin' a bit near the end but was definitely a big improvement in central defence. We all know this is the weakest area of the team so if Ally and co like Juhaz from Anderlecht, go for it. Use cash from the sale of Bougherra. Lafferty will be the right partner for Jelavich. So if the budget is really tight spend whats left on Verhoek for Beckham(ish) type play.

But hes not played in 4 mounths lol

Are you serious? the midfield is the weakest area by a mile. davis doesnt score enough we have no left winger, edu is of it and mccullochs past it

Midfield always was, and still is, an area targeted as an area we needed to improve in. Hence the targetting of players for that area. Lafferty is a decent player, but he is an English Championship quality player and not a EPL player. He can do a job here in Scotland, (injuries depending) but though he still has the potential, he needs to step up his performances if he is to become the type of player who would command a big transfer fee to a top club.

30 Jul 2011 21:34:54
Rangers have offered £2.2m with add-ons of £600k for Goodie whilst Blackburn have only offered £2m plus £800k in add-ons and Gers still get rejected? WTF? We're the highest bidders AND we've met the £2m and still get rejected? Just give us the damn player lol JPM

We need to add a sell on clause or look elsewhere.we need a quality striker asap to partner jelavic

30 Jul 2011 21:06:27
rangers bid of 2, 2million rejected now dundde utd are just gettin greedy

This is a joke now if goodwillie wants to come to rangers he needs to tell dundee utd this and force there hand cause thompson dosent like rangers and is tryin not to sell to us
W.A.T.P

Wouldn't say greedy.. simply they will want rangers to match the blackburn offer,

if they offer 2.8 and we only offer 2.2.. as a business man which offer are you going to take??

The offer was 2.2M. This offer is the total amount including add ons, Its 600K less than Blackburns 2.8M. Thats the way I'm reading It.

Its 2, 2mill with 600k add ons soa say that we have made a better offer than blackburn who offered 2mill with 800k add ons

Blackburn haven't put a bid in according to Kean on Blackburn's Sky Sports news page...

Goodwillie WILL NOT hand in transfer request, look what they have done for him stuck by him through a rape and assault case, i think �2million is a very good price, please mr whyte, make this happen

IF GOODWILLIE REALLY REALLY WANTS TO GO TO RANGERS ITS TIME FOR HIM TO SPEAK UP OR HAND IN TRANSFER REQUEST, SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT HERE. {Ed021's Note - I doubt he will hand in a transfer request as DUFC have supported him throughout his recent troubles.

30 Jul 2011 20:45:15
Jim spence has just said on twitter Dundee united have rejected a 2.2m offer from rangers for goodwillie.

Move on gers, dont let they f**kers utd hold you to ransom if a 2.2million bids been made and rejected then let it go, he's not that good.

No, it was 1.6m, 600,000k less than Blackburn

Aye Rangers, you are only about a week late, goodjob.

Goodwillie could have been playing the day scoring goals if we played our cards right.

Just seen it also on twitter, i have a feeling this can be done come on Rangers, make it happen

Enough is Enough.

THINK ENOUGH IS ENOUGH THEN , GOODWILLIE HAS TO OPEN HIS MOUTH IF HE WANTS TO COME. HAND IN A TRANSFER REQUEST.

If this is true then what are united playin at? thought they only wanted 2 mill, if goodwillie wants to come to rangers then he has to come out and say so coz united are just tryin to get a biddin war goin.

Time to look elsewhere

If we put that in straight after the case was dropped, he'd be a rangers player

Too Little Too Late.

Instead of paying all that money on goodwillie, how about using it towards george boyd and david templeton

Reckon its up to the player he need to say you but a price of 2 million on me its been met so let me go, he needs to stand up and slam in a transfer request he'd be well within his rights

It was �1.6 million

Lets move on, who the f**k is kidding who here? Dundee Utd are holding a bidding war, it has nothing to do with liking , or not liking us. Step back, and lets go for jamie Murphy, if Goodwillie wants to move to us, he can lodge a transfer request. It is now a circus

TOTALLY AGREE M8.

IF THATS THE CASE RANGERS MOVE ON F.CK THOMPSON AND UTD, MAYBE THOMPSONS WAITING FOR CELTIC TO MOVE IN AND SCUPPER THINGS.

30 Jul 2011 20:40:37
Utd reject 2.2m bid by the gers. Spencer on twitter.

This is now turning into a saga.Utd asked for �2m now we have offered �2.2m. McCoist should look elsewhere as utd want to sell to the highest bidder (Blackburn) but according to the media Goodwillie wants to go to Rangers.

If this is true - I do not hink that it is. Why woudl we offer �2.2 million when we know Blackburn have offered �2.8. What the f*** is the point in that? Anyway, we probably offered �1 million now plus �50 a month for the next 10 years.

30 Jul 2011 19:58:14
Rangers are going to make another bid for Roland Juhasz

www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/rangers/rangers-poised-to-make-fresh-offer-for-juhasz-1.1114844

Aye for 2.6 probably

Hope so , no messing just give them 3 mil and happy days , we are starting to look like mugs during transfer window cause of poor decisions on offers

This is a nothing story, Ally already said he would be looking to go in with another bid, the question is will it be a serious one for the first time in this Transfer window

This is a nothing story, Ally already said he would be looking to go in with another bid, the question is will it be a serious one for the first time in this Transfer window

a serious one like paying 1.5m for wallace u mean? 2.5m for this guy was a good offer so dont talk pish

30 Jul 2011 19:30:29
This aint a rumours only a suggestion. Does anyone else think Rangers could do no harm in bringing Jody Morris to Ibrox?

Believe me, I know how daft this sounds, but he is technically better than Mo Edu and is also 10x a better passer than Edu.

What d'you guys think?

My dog is a better footballer than edu

Good try Jody but I think your boat has sailed ol' pal.

Edu is utter feckin useless

Forget about both of them and bring in gattuso

30 Jul 2011 19:04:20
Former Chelsea Striker Mikael Forssell to have a week long trial starting monday

30 Jul 2011 08:58:27
Dundee utd reject improved offer from Rangers. Ed what the heck is going on? Have utd not accepted blackburns offer? Rangers should just pay the £2m. I smell SH*TE somewhere. {Ed001's Note - perhaps there is more to it, sometimes it can be about more than just one lump sum. Blackburn have loanees, friendlies etc they can add on to the value of a transfer which Rangers can't match.}

But what Blackburn can't match is Goodwillie supports the Gers. If Rangers Agree the £2m fee it doesn't matter what Blackburn offer. He will pick Rangers over them any day.

{Ed021's Note - Let's just wait and see as this is getting rather complicated. From what I gather and have read, DUFC have not given Goodwillie permission to speak to anyone as yet.

If dundee utd accept a bid of 2.8 mil from blackburn they're obv not gonna accept 2 from rangers.

The chairman of Dundee utd said anyone that meets the �2m asking price for Goodwillie can speak to him. He's not going to move the goalposts now. The Blackburn manager was talking on SSN after their game and said their offer has been turned down. So did the really put a bid of �2.8m in or is it just a rumour?

..I, m confused...why would Blackburn offer �2.8 million for DG....when Utd have always said they valued him at �2 million...strange...

I agree , mccoist can insist that rangers are sill in for david goodwillie all he likes, but until rangers put in a respectful offer, we have no chance of signing the player, you can't sign a player with nice comments
RFCJ

Can we just stop saying that he will definately pick us over anyone else. That is obviously not the case as he wants to go to England - irrelvant of who comes in for him.

Its been stated that goodwillies waiting on rangers to make the offer, but they have to be quick, it wold be a dream to play for the mighty gers but he does not want the move to stop him, he will move this summer, hopefully to rangres, butif there not quick, he will go somewhere else to persue his carear

30 Jul 2011 17:26:36
If you need Rangers editors.

What do i need to do {Ed002's Note - Folks get invited if the have a history of decent posting, include names on their posts and include email addresses when they are submitting posts. We have a team of beautiful talent spotters always on the lookout.}

30 Jul 2011 17:17:26
maybe put in a bid for Thiago Motta? lad clearly hates ceptic and, in my opinion, would do a job in a fight against scott brown

Broon is p@sh, why spend money to tackle that lego eater ?

{Ed021's Note - Thiago Motta has history with the tic remember. Did he not get sent off in the tunnel for fighting with Rab Douglas @ Parkhead years ago?

Wud b out of our price range {Ed021's Note - Totally agree pal.

I think we should just concentrate on our own game and let them get on with it.

30 Jul 2011 15:59:33
Not a rumour or a moan ED just a question to you if you don't mind why do the rangers pages seem to take ages to update timewise I mean ? Need a new server or is next doors wifi your piggybacking playing up? All the best by the way with rants etc last few days lol {Ed002's Note - It is because the Rangers editors are not available. I think they have gone shopping with their mothers today. You then need to wait on some passing good soul to do them.}

30 Jul 2011 15:51:18
Rangers will move for St.Mirren Centre Back Darren McGreggor if they fail to bring in Juhasz, Cuellar and Bartley.

Boy looks a good prospect

Worst rumour yet, congratulations.

30 Jul 2011 15:46:08
Rangers will bid 850k rising to 1 million for Jamie Murphy of Motherwell and 350k rising to 450k for Murray Davidson of St.Johnstone.

Already offered 550.000 for Murray Davidson thank god they rejected absolutely useless player wouldnt even pay him national minimum wage hes that bad

30 Jul 2011 15:21:21
I hear, Goodwillie will only sign for Blackburn or any other club for that matter if there is no concrete offer from rangers. He doesn't want to wait about for his dream move in case it ruins another move.

A win against Malmo is crucial to the capture of Verhoek. We are not far from their valuation and should be able to meet them halfway but the player said he wants to come to rangers but if we are in the Europa league, it will question whether or not he still wants to come.

Odonker will be solely based on his fitness during his trial.

Juhasz no further talks have been made.

GB

If we fail to beat Malmo there will be no europa league the format has changed. After Malmo is another knockout qualifying round at which, if we were knocked out, we would fall into the europa league {Ed002's Note - Failure to beat Malmo drops Rangers in to the final elimination round for the Europa league. It is a question of semantics.}

Goodwillie wants to go down south. H knew of our interest and still said he wants to go down south. Just let it go.

Ed ur 100% right m8. and poster erm we all know what your telling us are you sat on the moon?

30 Jul 2011 14:33:44
Juhasz deal is not dead, he feels it is time to move on to pastures new and wants to try his hand in Scotland.

Goodwillie looks unlikely but we won't know for certain until he's announced as another team's player. McCoist today said he hasn't given up on him.

Talks are also ongoing between Den Haag regarding Verhoek who has publicly stated he wants to move to Rangers - this should make signing him easier.

Whether Odonkor signs is down to the results of his trial which nobody knows at the minute - he may feature against Chelsea.

The are more chanceof Torres scoring against us than odonkor playing against chelsea. Lol

Odonkor is not fit and way short of match practice no chance of him playing against chelsea

30 Jul 2011 13:41:13
Rangers will sign goodwillie today he having a medical at 3pm u heard it here 1st watp

Doubt it very much we will never be able to outbid blackburn

Why cant we all just get it through our heads - he is not signing for us.

PROBABLY MATCH THE FEE BUT PLAYERS TERMS MAYBE TO MUCH.HES NO HAVEN ANY MEDICAL SO STOP POSTING s**tE M8.

As a Rangers fan I don't see him coming now even although we are a better and a bigger club than Blackburn the lure of the Premiership and better wages will sway the player to Ewood Park rather than gaining more experience overall including Champions League to become a more accomplished player before arriving in the Premiership

Heard he was travelling to blackburn today for talks - though bbc said he still donesn't have permission to talk to other clubs yet - geographical reasons would prevent him having a medical for us today at least

30 Jul 2011 13:08:56
1250: Our reporter Jim Spence has told BBC Radio Sportsound listeners that Dundee United striker David Goodwillie's move to Blackburn may have hit "a snag" and that Rangers have made a late bid to land the hitman. The plot thickens...

Could that 'snag' be that the mr goodwillie doesnt want to go to blackburn?

as for all of the reports about the blackburn deal, there hasnt been one statement from goodwillie or his agent on the subject,

Rangers second bid today got rejected

I don't blame David Goodwillie if he didn't go to Blackburn. Who really wants to go and play in a relagation fight

It doesnt matter how much blackburn said they will pay dundee united for goodwillie at the end of the day its the player that signs the contract not the team

30 Jul 2011 13:04:07
Rangers are un-named club who make bid of £1.5m for peterborough winger George Boyd

Gers , Birmingham and celtic looking at him again . hes got his moments

SSN said it was a championship club.....

Get this guy AND WEVE GOT A STAR. Seen him a lot he is special - similar to ally as a finisher. Yorkielad

30 Jul 2011 01:07:58
Rangers are set to bid for Gary Kenneth after being frustrated in attempts to sign Carlos Cuellar and Roland Juhasz. They see Gary Kenneth as the answer to their defence problems.

Aye nb pal n I'm Mary Poppins

This must be a celtic fan who sent this roumer in get real

Thats just ripping it m8 hes never good enough for rangers gary kenneth

Celtic fans can spell, think you meant rumour mate.LOL

If you think the dithering kenneth is the answer at the back you are deluded he is slower than davie weir and has a nightmare against any players with a bit of pace/ movement

Rather hve gary caldwell n a hate that pr*ck

This better be a Celtic fan posting this

Jog on he is rotten

This is a very good sourse i stayvin Dundee and this is the last person we want your in about goodwillie coming to Glasgow this boy is worse just never in headlines.

For example He's skint all his money on gambling now back staying at his families house more and more stuff on this lad

So will Peter houstan be saying the same if a was the press id ask him about Kenneth if houstan thinks he's so good with his men

Why dont people realise cuellars on his way... hes just supping up as much 40k per weeks he can before he leaves. cant play for 3 weeks anyway

Kenneth is a donkey no way ally would be that stupid to sign him

Ha ha ha ha ha He'll be in Dublin to sign for you lot, ya nugget.... thats his level

Al tell yae, some cellic fans talk pish

Why would Rangers want him? Hardly the professional footballer spends more time in pubs after a game of football He's not that good

UTTET PISH, YOU MUST BE AN ARAB DESPERATE TO OFFLOAD THAT BIG DONKEY

If this is true then I would sack mccoist now because that would be laughable Kenneth is one of the worst CBs i have seen playing in this country

More chance of Timmy signing him than us

He canny defend to save himself, yer having a laugh

If Gary Kenneth is the answer, what exactly is the question......he'll only warm the bench at ibrokes

DazzaBhoy

There are reserve targets and scraping the bottom of the barrel, next we will be saying we are going for Ross Tokley

I posted that as a joke guys calm down lmao
