Boyd in talks with Cardiff over the weekend
Sandaza, will be joining up with his old manager at Bristol City, fee around 400,000 for release this transfer window, if not agreed, pre contract for summer
Templeton, will not happen, Rangers cant afford Romanovs asking price
Believable11
Unbelievable5
Crap crap and more crap sandanzas agent has already made it clear there is only two teams who want him and ones rangers! as of boyd going to cardiff i know he aint going there in million year he will be a rangers player by 1 feb

Dream on boyd was a money chaser when he left now hes a legend coming back 2 faced people

05 Jan 2012 23:31:00
my prediction...
in.. (possibly) sandaza
out... ortiz(return to spain)
mckay(return to brisbane)
edu(sochaux 750k-1m)
boyd, novo, templeton- WON'T be going to rangers!!!!
Believable6
Unbelievable8
Why say your prediction and then say these players WON'T be signing? U know no more than anyone else. Pure speculation.
Agree4
Disagree2
No chance Edu will leave for that price obviously Ally rates him with the amount of game time hes been getting!
Agree3
Disagree2
Omg templton got offered to rangers yous are all idiots type it in on google David templton offered to rangers and the sun , the record and more will prove that
Agree2
Disagree0
Aye because everything that is in the sun is true. Garbage. Rangers still owe hearts money for lee Wallace which is partly the reason there players are not bein payed and those who are injured cannot get the operations that are needed, so we are hardly top of the list of clubs to be offering players to!! Jbbear
Agree2
Disagree4
So what, Rangers owe Hearts money for a transfer fee. Instalments when paying for a player is not unheard of. So now the gers are getting blamed when another teams players get injured and that other team cant afford to treat them? Gees a break! Rangers are on their ar$e when it comes to money and can still take care of their own. WATP FGAU
Agree3

Maybe ally has been playing Edu to get him in the Shop window... just a thought

There will at least be one signing maybe two. Positions McCoist and the rest of us know we need is a striker and a solid midfielder who they are is anyone's guess? The Templeton rumour is true, MCCoist spoke to him about 6 weeks ago, nothing to get excited about but what I know is Templeton is interested in a move, he would prefer to stay in Glasgow for more family reasons than anything else, again this is all down to weather McCoist is given the money to buy him but his contract is almost up for a bosman seems more likely. Point 2regarding this is Cardiff have also approached him an only thing they can offer that we can't is more money, not that it's going to be the deciding factor but thought it should be known. Lastly, as for Matt McKay why is everyone on his back and looking for him to leave?? He's just signed, only started 2 games and made 2 sub appearances anyone judging on that must have thought this guy was "messi"! Gee the guy a break and break into the team. He wouldn't have beaten the likes of Tim Cahill to Australian player of the year if he was "gladace knight" he'll come good given the chance he plays. In Ally We Trust
Believable14
Unbelievable2
Well said mate.
Agree7

It was revealed on clyde 1 tonight that matt mckay is to return to brisbanr and ortiz to spain
Agree2
Disagree8
Hope the Templeton rumour is true and totally agree about McKay, give the guy a chance and I reckon we might be glad we signed him, get him in the team for Sunday.
Agree7
Disagree1
The signings will be free or bosmans coz ally's getting no money for transfers.cardiff can offer a better league to play in,much better money,and a poss route to the epl nxt season.agree mckay hasnt had a chance but it seems clear ally dznt fancy him n thats strange as he app bought him!by the way cahill aint scored for app a year! oh and its gladys knight
Agree2
Disagree2
Just to be a tad controversial; I'd rather have Black from Hearts as he'd offer the much missing bite in the midfield.Where as Templeton seems to start brightly but then fades as the game goes on
Agree5
Disagree7
He beat Tim Cahill because Cahill was injured most of the internationals
Agree0
Disagree1
I am sorry, but I'd take Templeton over Black any day of the week. I reckon Templeton would flourish when surrounded by better players, just look at Aluko. (dive against the Pars aside)
I was one of the biggest Sceptics when he signed but when he plays he looks like he will create a chance everytime he runs at teams

Wake-up bears some of the transfers ate fantasy, we are selling jelavic because of black hole in the accounts not to strengthen the side.
Believable9
Unbelievable6
05 Jan 2012 22:12:16
Jelavic will not be sold unless Rangers asking price of £10 million is met, Jelavic admits that he is flattered by speculation linking him with Liverpool, but has stressed his committment to Rangers.
Meanwhile Craig Whyte has no money, he was promising £15 million before he took over, but has obviously lied and was expecting us to receive £15 million by qualifying for the Champions League.
So expect a loan bid or two, probably for BSC Young Boys full back Scott Sutter.
If we are to get anyone on a permanent basis, then the likes of Juanma Ortiz, Mckay, Bedoya may be sold for anywhere between £100,000-£400,000 each, we are also due compensation from Tromso for Bendiksen. If that were the case we would then move for St Johnstone's Fransisco Sandaza for £1 million.
I honestly don't know how our January will go, no one on this site does, I am only going by the paper's, common sense and my own opinion.
My final prediction...
IN:
Scott Sutter (BSC Young Boys), Loan
Fransisco Sandaza (St Johnstone) £1 million
Kris Boyd Free
A Hearts player, maybe Templeton or Driver
OUT:
Juanma Ortiz, Matt Mckay and maybe Kirk Broadfoot

If craig whyte had dipped his money into his pocket and got decent players in then we might have got into the CL and he could have got his Ł15m

Have the like of bedoya, mckay and ortiz not already played for two clubs this season?
can they be sold?
Agree0

Bedoya has so if sold he could n't play, Ortiz can leave...he was a janitor at almeria
Agree3
Disagree0
Not a chance of 10m for jellavic more prob 6-7m.dont think were due any compo for bendikson as we payed a transfer fee.ortiz,mckay,bedoya we'll be lucky to get 400k combined.sutter has a few premier teams after him so i cant see any joy there.1m for sandaza is laughable.we need to wake up here theres no money to spend only replace the wages that hav been freed with transfers.a liverpool journalist on talksport reckons bent is dalgleish's first choice n never mentioned jelavic at all.we got a 10m black hole thats got to be filled thats why jelavic is going not for transfer money.
Agree3
Disagree1
QPR linked with Johnson from Fulham and manager says he doesnt know who suggested Jelavic ?
press up here sure in intrest in Jelavic so are they using Jelavic as poker card in Johnson or Johnson as poker card in Jelavic ?? or both

Jelavic will be leaving Rangers for 7.5m to Liverpool..
Rangers will then be signing Sandaza from ST Johnstone for 650,000..
Rangers will also be signing two Houndurian internationals (a striker and a defender) the striker has a good goalscoring record for Honduras.
Rangers also looking at David Templeton for a cut price of 250,000 as he wants to leave Hearts.

No danger is rangers paying 650,000 for sandanza hes out of contract in 6 months

Why would Sandaza be worth that much when he would be available for free? Talking rubbish.
Agree5

David Templeton yes he's a great wee lad and ad love to see him a Gers shirt but sandaza! Come on if what you say is true and we get 7.5mil surely that can get a better striker than sandaza no?
Agree5

I certainly hope that we do not get Sandazza let alone pay Ł650K for a player with 6 months left on contract who is utterly unproven!

Not so much of a rumour really, but it seems that John Fleck will now get an extended run for Rangers with Lafferty out and Jelavic maybe on the move. Also, Jordan McMillan could get a run at right back and is discussing longer terms. Jamie Ness should also be back by the end of January. I think McCoist should play all three plus Matt McKay in the midfield. Stories in Herald and other sources. Also rumours that Boyd coming back and Sutton from Hearts. Have you heard anything Ed? {Ed014's Note - I only really see the normal gossip and stuff that you see stuck down here sorry.I would like to see young Fleck given a chance though.A kind of shape up or shape out,there is no doubting his ability.Boyd will score goals,I have a feeling he could be on his way home.

I'd take Sutton, the guys a hard worker!
Agree5
Disagree6
Once ness is fit he will play one game and be out for 8 weeks again!
Agree5
Disagree1
Fleck like so many other players during the smith and mccoist era is played out of position.the reason he played on sat and will play again on sunday is due to injuries to the strikers and has created his position of behind the strikers(in the hole).and played well.give a player a chance to fulfill his talent by playing him in position.
Agree3
Disagree0
I'd take Sutton as well, if we get him and he gets a few games i'm sure he'd bag goals. We just need a creative player to work with a goal scoring striker.

Believable7

Lets see that happens i will belive we have him when he puts pen to paper and the same with any player linked with rangers
Agree5
Disagree0
To be honest we all know boydie can bang the goals in. Its just his general workrate that always lacked and smiths reluctance to play him against ceptic.... A player like jelavic(if he stays) would b a crackin strikeforce.. Id take Boyd back in a sec. Even if its just for goals against lesser teams that were strugglin to beat at the moment
Agree11

05 Jan 2012 19:52:09
Rangers will move for out of favour Hearts striker John Sutton.
It has been confirmed on Sky Sports that he will be allowed to leave the club on loan and Rangers are ready to pounce on what they see as a cheap option, allowing more funds to be put towards Boyd's wages and the signing of a midfeilder.
Dorrans is outwith our price range unless a part exchange deal is agreed involving Jelavic, instead Rangers may look to sign Gibson on loan from Manchester United, or Hargreaves from Manchester City (City would pay the majority of the wages)

Plenty of celtic fans have played for rangers in the past and vice versa, would only be a factor if both teams were in for him. with fergie as a manager im sure he could be convinced!

It's ok saying he's rank rotten, but who signed him....and McKay, and Bedoya, then plays Fleck in front of all 3....nothing against Fleck-played really well on Monday, but it says a lot, if 3 guys that you signed, cant get a game before a guy who Ally was desperate to get out on loan....somethin' not right...really not right.
Agree9
Disagree3
Give McKay Ortiz & bedoya a break, takes time to settle into Scottish football. Walter said that - obviously all 3 won't be a hit for us but remember were shopping in the bargain basement. Ally also signed goian & bocanegro and they seem to be doing ok!
Agree5

You could give Ortiz all the time in the world to settle into Scottish Football but all the time in the world won't make him a good Footballer
Agree5

Ortiz never rangers class he will never fit into scottish football send him packing asap back to spain no good for us

Everyone is giving McKay a hard time. He's hardly kick a ball. At least give him a few games.
Agree7

Why the hell are people getting on mckays back.bunch of numpties.the guy has hardly had a chance,same with bedoya.they are good players who like other players need to get on the pitch to actually show what they can do.unless these "supporters" have been allowed into murray park to watch training and bounce games wheres their opinions coming from?.give the team a break and use our energy positively to help drag the team out a poor run.

This was just on STV News:
Rangers could be without Kyle Lafferty for seven weeks, manager Ally McCoist has revealed and the club could be dealt another blow if Steven Whittaker requires surgery.
this caps of a day where Big lee is suspended for two games also.
Believable7

Big lee isnt too much of a loss wi wot ive sen of him recently. Give McKay a go in his playe. Hes younger, fitter, faster and can prob play a bit if given a chance
Agree11

Kyle is a blow - whitts been terrible all season, we play better without Lee - perry at right back (if fit) davis and edu in middle - no downside to me

I agree with most of what you're saying except I would put McMillan at RB.
Agree6
Disagree2
Celtic fan in peace
Sorry to hear about Lafferty's injury. I know from experience that a torn hamstring is a horrible injury, after a month or so you would swear that its healed and ready but the moment you push yourself above a jog you are straight back to square one. I wish him well in his recovery.
As for Lee McCulloch he is suspended for two games but one of them is against Arbroath in the cup so it isn't as bad as two league games.
Agree9
Disagree1
Was good news though Broadfoot is also injured, at last something going our way

Wouldn't wish any Ranger an injury but at least McMillan will get a chance now, hopefully.

Means the young team can get their chance. I think some of them, given a good run in the team will keep Whittaker out. Hasnt bn playin too hot so far
Agree8
Disagree1
Well, if Ally gives them a chance that is...Well he has no option, so he'll probably balls it up by playing them outta position

What young team? hutton on loan, cole on loan, ness always injured, kerkar plays 10 mins a season vs well, you mean fleck and mcmillan hardly a team *ksd*
Agree3

Mcmillan isnt exactly young either, kerkars pash as well! mcmillan deserves ago and he`s probs the best defensive rb at the club infact he is, whits is far better going forward, broadfoot is a total duck egg

Perry could fit in on either side though can't remember his last game it would take a few games to discover his form

If an improved offer comes in for Edu we should snap their hand off
Believable8
Unbelievable14
Are u serious? Edu has been one of the best players over the last few weeks, admittedly in a poor team, but still, Rangers should defo keep him
Agree15
Disagree5
Why ? who can play in the middle of the pitch beside davis.no one is available,mcculloch is done,ness is injury prone and hutton,s on loan again,besides if edu can play like he did against motherwell we don,t have anybody better. airdrie bear
Agree8
Disagree4
Aye improved by at least 2 million.
Agree8
Disagree1
No chance Edu only plays bad when Big Lee is next to him. McCulloch makes the whole team play bad. The teams dip in form was when he was back after injury and the team played well again with him out. I wish he got a lifetime ban by the SPL tbh.
Agree8
Disagree3
Mckay,bedoya,fleck ... theres a few that could replace him easily...look at jelavic not playin on saturday and healy finally getting a chance...he was invovled in 2 of the goals on saturday...players just need to be given a chance!
Agree5
Disagree2
Nope sorry completely disagree with this. Edu has been one of the best players in tht team in the recent few weeks, showed good passing and an agressive and determined side against motherwell, not to mention also setting up Healy for the goal
Agree12
Disagree5
What is with the Edu bashing?
He is by far the most athletic player in our team and does a lot of work which goes unnoticed by certain people who have never played the game.
He had a confidence issue earlier on this season as the same certain few decided to get on his back, He should not be used as a scapegoat and is a far better player than he's given credit for.
I've said it before, he has all the atributes to be a top player, time will tell though as the next couple of seasons are vital for him.
And if the 500,00 offer is true, then they are obviosly taking the pee and i'm just glad the OP is not in charge of our club.
I'd snap their hand off to, but only for being so cheeky.

I would love the Gers to sign either nicky maynard or billy sharp, I reckon they'd do a good enough job for us but then again we probs wouldn't be able to afford them.
Believable10
Unbelievable5
There talkin Ł2-3m each so i doubt it, billy sharp would get goals up here no problem as 2 maynard- still think we`ll go for boyd (free) and o`connor as that would cost alot less, heres to hope though mate!
Agree6
Disagree2
I just think that Boyd is like healy a guy who used to score loads of goals, Boyd would have to put in a lot of effort and lose a lot of weight and he just doesn't have the work rate. I don't particularly want either as they are both a bit partial to the sherbert dips.
I would have said Jamie Murphy but he has scored none this season he is a huge bluenose though.
If we could sign Ross McCormack that would be amazing but I think he is way out of our league now.
We need some pace up there!
Agree5
Disagree4
Two good players u mentioned there mate but few premiership teams are looking at both sharpe will cost bout 3m but Maynard is transfer listed because he won't sign a new deal he only has 6months left so u might get him cheap
Agree5
Disagree2
Healy has never scored loads of goals! to be honest his scoring record is poor
Agree7
Disagree3
He has been a great goalscorer during international matches but not the same during club games
Agree8

McCormack would be great signing right now another player deemed not good enough by our world class coaching staff, question mark ?????
Agree5

Mccormack said he would only come back to septic
Agree3
Disagree5
On this Boyd thing ffs this is the guy who 2 years ago was breaking the premier league records, yet now we say he dont do enough etc etc. He scores goals and thats what wins games. He is the player that will turn games that are 1-1 into 3-1..Sign him and get others that will do the chasing the ball for him, but dont sign him then play 1 up front,thats not his game
Agree7
Disagree2
He scored both of Northern Ireland's goals in a 2–1 win against Sweden on 28 March 2007,[25] and two more against Liechtenstein on 22 August, followed by a penalty away to Iceland on 12 September. On 17 November 2007, when he scored against Denmark, it was his 13th goal in the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying Group F tournament (in eleven games). This made him the highest-ever goalscorer in a UEFA European Championship qualifying campaign, and also the first Northern Ireland football player to break a football record. The previous record, of twelve goals in ten games, had been set by Davor Šuker of Croatia in 1996.so that puts ur theory of he never scores loads to bed eh ya plum! healy healy healy *ksd*
Agree0
Disagree4
Healy scored a hat-trick against spain, against england and many top international teams. 35 in 91 at international level compared to kenny dalglish for the jocks (30 in 102) its pretty impressive. the lad has never been a regular starter at any clubs he has been at. if he started week in week out for the gers he would be a goal scoring machine, its hardly the toughest league in the world is it?
Agree2
Disagree3
Club record 402app 95goals so that puts your theory he scores loads to bed u plum!
Agree5
Disagree1
Why do bawbags insist we should sign a player as he is a bluenose? get a grip you idiot!
Agree4
Disagree3
Seriously the guys is right if he gets a decent run of games he WILLscore a barrell load up here! all those appearances have been as a bit part player. way it up against a player his age who has been playing as long and tell me the appearance difference........ remember people they are rangers players and WE are Rangers supporters.... never forget that!
Agree1
Disagree3
I am Rangers through and through.Anybody comparing Healy with Kenny Dalglish needs there head read.The reason he got 30 goals for Scotland,is that he never took pens.He wanted to beat Laws record,55 30.On his own merit,as he was his hero growing up.Just a pity our scouts,were to stupid not to get him and McGrain.Both ended up true greats,but not for the team that they supported.Healy I was raving about four years ago.We should have signed him then.He is not the same player now.He is very hit and miss.If he was doing well,he would have started more games.I hope that I am wrong.But it looks like his better days are behind him.Ally

It shows the quality of our scouting missions when the two players we've been most linked with are ex rangers players Boyd and novo. Why do we pay these people to do nothing?
We haven't got much cash as it is without wasting it like this.
Believable14
Unbelievable5
The scouting is more of a window shopping exercise than anything.
Agree10
Disagree2
Finally a support speaking some sense. the financial mess that the club is in could well be used as an excuse for some of the dross us fans have to endure. however a club the size of rangers must strive to produce far better than what is currently on display. what worries me even more is that some fans come on here and say how they would like to see boyd, novo, sandaza etc. these are mediocre players who won't improve what is a very poor rangers team! our scouting network is shambolic
Agree8
Disagree1
Tell the scouts to get off their behinds and look at better worldwide targets. Heres a start Hamdi Salihi. Strong, aerial prescence, not very expensive and recomended by Jela earlier in the season

It costs money to have a large scouting network!
stg

What's the scouting missions got to do with it??
Is it Rangers fault that idiots are constantly linking them with players they have no interest in?????
TTG
Agree4
Disagree0
I'd love to see new and proven talent coming into the squad but for me it wouldn't be the end of the world if Ally would actually field people deserving it. We have Hutton replacement for Edu/Jig, Ness and Fleck both natural talent who can actually play one touch football and pick out great passes and through balls....Only problem is Ness having one leg longer than the other causing constant injuries. McMillan and Perry both better than Whittaker and Broadfoot, just needing more experience and we also have McKay who doesn't get countries player of the year for being a dud.
Agree5

If your resourceful you don't need a large network of scouts. rangers have had ewan chester for 15years+ and he was useless. can anyone come on here and name 1 young player we have signed in the last 10 years from the continent where they have been bread into the first team and been a success? it simply isn't good enough

I work in the hallow walls of Ibrox, I would tell you my name and occupation but i would risk my job if i where to do so. But Rangers are closing in The return of Andy Webster he is unsettled at Hearts so Rangers made a swoop and he is set to join on Saturday morning. Another player coming into Ibrox is Hemdani he was excellent with rangers in his first spell at the club but he left because he was to good for the spl and rangers agreed to let him leave for free. Sebo is also a name that is flying about Ibrox. He is on target for Slovan Bratislava at the moment so Rangers are intrested.

To the comment 'So a injury prone def,a past it mid and a striker that cant score sounds rubbish to me!'
This actually sounds like suomething we would do - Healy and Beattie are two strikers uncapable of scoring both of which we bought, Ortiz, Bedoya, Mckay, Kerkar are midfielders that to be fare are not past it but thats only because they are yet to make it!
As for the other rumours I seriously worry for the future of our Great club!

Manchester United striker Mame Biram Diouf claims to have the opportunity to join Wigan on loan among other interested clubs.
The 24-year-old wants to play on a regular basis, but has made just three appearances this season and all of his outings have come in the Carling Cup.
Diouf's chances are limited at United given the competition for places with Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Danny Welbeck and, when he returns to fitness, Michael Owen.
Welbeck proved the benefits of loan moves after enjoying a successful time at Sunderland last season and Diouf hopes to follow that lead with a possible switch to Premier League strugglers Wigan.
"It is an option at the moment and a good one. I want to go and play week in, week out and try to impress Sir Alex Ferguson," the Senegal international, who has already been loaned to former club Molde and Blackburn since joining United in 2009, told skysports.com.
"If I can finish the season strongly, I can challenge for a position next season like Danny has done this season.
"Wigan could be a key for me. I have done okay for Blackburn, but need to do well on my next loan. There are other teams interested as well."
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez had been interested in Diouf's United team-mate, Federico Macheda, before the Italian was loaned to Queens Park Rangers.

jelavic leaving for 4 to 5 mil and 30% going to his former club all rangers fans seem rate him but I watched him a few times if he goes to EPL he will have a nice seat on the bench Or if he his lucky mite get a game for Bolton or villa and as for Liverpool,man utd, man city or any other big club they would not give you 10p never mind 10 mil for a un proven ST
As for megregor 3-4 mil maybe if rangers are lucky talk about man utd want him cause de gea is so crap and fergie was going to take him in the summer but would not pay the 9mil rangers wanted
Rangers in total are looking on 4 or 5 first team players being sold and that's just to try balance the books as for transfers coming in I think it's the loan market for the bears lol

Rangers havent dropped 17 points, i dont know where this 15 point lead comes from ? Games in hand dont count then it seems. Using your logic rangers have dropped 17 points i think you'll find they have only dropped 15 all season. I dont like to make a point but i believe i have. the gap when games were equal have has and never was 15 points.
anyhow 1-0 away from home, still along way to go and for the record ICT never won Rangers the league Celtic did they had it all wrapped up only thereselves to blame, same will happen this year.

I know right now we are in so bad way but a self-made million-air would buy a club if he thought it wasn't going anywhere and buy players like oconner isn't going to get us anywhere!
at the end of the day we are the champions for a reason so let's show a bit of standard and start considering player how actully deserve to call themselves rangers!
