Stan petrov Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Dont be naive enough to believe footballers, of course hes going to say things like that unless he's a complete arse like Cousin and wants to alienate himself and perhaps force a move. Plenty of footballers have moved on after saying they will be staying, John Hartson said he would stay at Coventry to help them get promoted again after relegation. 2 weeks later he Strides into Celtic Park with Steve Guppy and Momo Sylla for a press unveiling. If its the right move, I could see him going. Newcastle, however, I would doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudagar Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Webster can gtf as far as I'm concerned. Too much of an injury liability and if it wasn't for Pressley talking him through games he wouldn't have shined as well as he did. I'm still wondering who or what sort of quality we will bring in this summer. Surely with £12million we should be able to attract some sort of quality? As I said in the Celtic thread, personally I think Lafferty would be a good signing, although I do agree that £4million (or whatever it is) is a bit too much. He's young, has good potential, can hold the ball up well and is good in the air and let's be honest we don't play the prettiest of football do we :.

TM Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 was something on FF saying he was interested/had bought a property in Glasgow's West End - not really sure how that links him with Rangers as he might just want to buy a house although I guess it probably links him with a move back up here.

FF usually talks a pile of pish though and is certainly not a reliable source for transfer news he was supposedly buying a house up here as far back before this season and coming back to Celtic. It wouldn't surprise me if he came back. Im not convinced about us bringing him back tbh, I dont think he good enough to be in the starting 11 atm and would rather use the money on someone else. Depends on the fee though, if we could get him on the cheap then I would maybe take him back, as we are a bit short of wide players since Riordans out the picture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerokus Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Those stories are always raised, and yet no one ever seems to think that a rich footballer might just be investing in property. Does look like he wants to move back up here, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Toner Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Sunday Mail; Gers are reported to be fighting it out with Celtic for the signature of former Celtic player Shaun Maloney. The Villa player was quoted as saying he would like to return to Scotland to play and Gers have held talks with his representative.The fee involved would be somewhere around the £3m mark. Meanwhile, Carlos Cuellar is set to sign a new long-term deal to stay at Rangers. His agent has said there has been NO contact from any club regarding a transfer. His agent, Pedro Bravo, said: "Carlos is happy in Glasgow and doesn't want to leave. The Rangers fans have been incredible with him. "I spoke with Martin Bain after the Uefa Cup final...and he told me Rangers aren't interested in selling him. If Rangers want to speak to us about extending his contract I will be on the first flight to Glasgow." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Toner Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 NOTW Kenny's on way back to RangersMILLER RETURN SEALED By Graeme Bryce KENNY MILLER will complete his sensational return to Rangers THIS WEEK — provided the Ibrox club can fight off fierce competition from the Continent. Sport of the World can reveal Rangers have been given permission to speak to Miller after Derby County accepted a near-£2million bid for the Scotland striker on Thursday. Despite continued protests by fans, Walter Smith is pushing ahead with talks aimed at making Miller his first signing of the summer. The Gers boss still has a power of work to do if he is to land the 28-year-old and it is unlikely a deal will be completed in the next 48 hours. Miller may have made it clear last week that he would relish the chance to be reunited with his former Scotland bosses Smith and Ally McCoist at Ibrox. But Serie A runners-up Roma, Bundesliga sides Schalke, Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg and Greeks Olympiacos have all been alerted by Gers’ swoop. And they are ready to give them a run for their money by offering Miller a huge financial incentive to move abroad. Sport of the World understands Greek champions Olympiacos have made a determined bid in the last 24 hours. Their new boss Ernesto Valverde failed in a bid to take Miller to Espanyol last season. Olympiacos could easily meet Derby’s £1.9m asking price. Interest from the Bundesliga could see the likes of Dortmund, Schalke and Wolfsburg embarrass Gers with their riches. But Miller would relish the chance to work once more with Smith and McCoist, who regard him as the hardest-working frontman in the country. They believe he would quickly win over sceptical fans with his work ethic and willingness to drag defenders all over the park. It remains to be seen if Gers can match the lure of the euro. Miller’s agent David Baldwin made it clear his next move is far from certain. He said: “Contrary to popular belief there is no deal done for Kenny Miller. “It’s fairly common knowledge the Rangers management staff rate Kenny very highly after their time together with the national team and I’m sure they would like him to join the club. “But as yet, there is nothing to report. Kenny is very openminded about his next move and there have been enquiries about his availability from clubs all over Europe. “His move to Derby was rushed so this time we are more than happy to take our time and make the right choice for Kenny from a football point of view.†That won’t suit Gers, who want Miller signed, sealed and delivered this week. Gers are also looking to plunder the French market with a double swoop for full-backs Jeremy Berthod of Monaco and Jean Calve of Le Mans.
