deerokus Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Darcheville could barely last 60 minutes a game before he was blowing out his arse last season, I suppose that's why they're replacing him.

FrankJJ Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 KM might well fit the 451 better than some people give him credit for, Smith knows what he's getting and what he can do in that formation, the question is will the fans put up with the negative style for another season or will he get it to work more positively than for a lot of last.

McNeil Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I can't believe we could be spending almost £10M and bring in no one of decent quality (if we sign Davis) Misser £2M Davis £3M Webster £500kish Velicka £1M Kyle Lafferty £2.5/3M. I am seriously worried about our great club if we are spending our cash like this, Walter is taking a huge risk with his signings, and I reckon if he doesn't win the league this season, it will be his last in charge of Rangers unless someone with quality (who is good with the ball at his feet to kill this long ball sh*te that he seems to have felt we need to play.

FF was a complete disgrace at times today. Yeah I'm not happy at the idea of signing Miller and I've said it myself that Walter might be digging a hole for himself with it - however some of the posts over there were saying he should be sacked and Ally should join him yeah lets get rid of somebody who has dragged us back from a complete utter disaster under Le Guen, made us a competitive team on all levels and got us to our first European Final in 36 years.

Seeing the pictures of Miller holding the jersey on the official site are sickening. I certainly won't forget or forgive the wee bastard. I certainly hope that the vast majority of Rangers fans will have a more open minded approach to this signing than this. Sure, very few of us are keen on the signing BUT, if and when the boy pulls on the blue jersey, he is playing for the team and deserves the full support of all fans. If he doesnt produce the goods over a period of time, then the Manager and the player will get some deserved criticism, but till that time , pride should be swallowed and both of them get the full support of all fans.

Muzzza Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Agree with FrazT, I'm not happy with this signing at all but at the end of the day Walter is in charge and he obviously thinks its going to benefit the team. If Kenny comes in and plays well then brilliant, if not then Walter will get stick and he will deserve it. We just have to hope he actually does something useful.

Frankie Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Must admit I'd liked the look of Gomis and Flood last season. I guess if we did sign the former it would probably be as a swap deal with Gow and while I like the look of the lad, he's not exactly got the kind of top-level experience or genuine quality that's going to worry Celtic. I wonder if we'd maybe play him at right back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Gomis might be seen as a young, cheapish replacement for Hemdani? Presumably if we sign Davis, Gomis would have to work mighty hard to break into that midfield two/three on a regular basis anyway. He moved up from Cowdenbeath to United with hardly a bat of an eyelid, so I don't think he seems fazed by furthering himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Toner Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 The Gersnet Gossip Mill Returns for the Summer Written by The_Insider Tennis, golf and RFC supporter group splits boring you? Time for The_Insider to tell you of the latest info he's heard regarding any comings and goings at the club. It's all good, clean fun so please don't get too excited (or more likely depressed) at the gossip we bring you in this light-hearted look through the transfer window... As usual we'll start with the players Rangers are interested in. Despite downmarket red-tops claiming war-chests of £20million, the money currently available to Walter Smith is nowhere near that amount. As it stands, despite raking in around £30million last season (from Hutton/Europe) the manager only has £6million to play with – plus any income from players who do leave. Kenny Miller has already arrived – much to the disappointment of many Rangers fans – so around £1.6million has already been spent. Because of this arrival Peter Løvenkrands will now definitely not be coming back to Ibrox. Not sure that will cheer up those of us still depressed at the return of Miller but I don’t think we’d have coped with two average ex-players coming back in one summer. Moving on, as he was in January, Kyle Lafferty is still very much in Smith’s sights. Able to play wide or in attack, the big Northern Irish player may be beyond Rangers’ current budget though. Rangers have offered £2.2million but Burnley are holding out for around twice that fee – with Celtic and Wolves the other clubs seriously interested. Rangers are also now monitoring the Dundee Utd midfielder Morgaro Gomis. The former Montpellier and Chelsea youth player has risen up the ranks quickly from spells in English lower league football before being signed by the Tayside club from Cowdenbeath. Impressive displays in three games against Rangers means the club may put in a modest offer for the Frenchman whose contract runs out next summer. Utd are also interested in a couple of Rangers fringe players so a swap deal may please both parties. All the above are hardly rumours which will excite the support so the pressure will be on the club to move on as many fringe players as possible to maximise the budget available to the manager. Several players are available and, while the club don’t want to lose prize asset Carlos Cuellar, The_Insider has heard the Spaniard actually has a £10million release clause in his contract. The player himself doesn’t want to go but after the Hutton debacle, who knows what his future will hold. Allan McGregor is another asset whose future is in doubt. Rumours have been abound for many months now that the Scotland international goalkeeper is interested in a move to Spurs. Gersnet’s information is that Smith will allow the keeper to leave for around £8million although Spurs prefer a stepped deal from around £5million. Despite paper talk of interest from various English clubs in Kevin Thomson the club have not had any offers for the player. However, the lad is looking to sign a new, improved contract and who can blame him a considering he also did his skipper’s hard work for much of the campaign. Rangers would do well to instil a disciplinary clause into any negotiations and save themselves some money ahead of his inevitable bookings next season. The strongest link out we have heard in recent days is that Jean-Claude Darcheville will be on his way in the summer. A £1.5million fee has been agreed with an as yet unnamed continental side so it appears the likeable French striker’s Rangers career has finally been hamstrung. That’s all for this week, so if you can bear the excitement and tension, keep an eye on the site (and forum) for all the latest transfer gossip concerning the Rangers.

matty_8 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 hes definately worth the 250k. Would love to have Walter email and tell him who to sign Flood and Gomis the two from outside the OF i was most impressed with. Steve Fletcher and Porter from Motherwell were decent when i saw them aswell. Still think we need to be signing non SPL players. It will cost more but its worth it, were not going to go any further with an SPL select. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Toner Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I liked the look of Gomis in the few games I seen him but not really enough to form a strong opinion. Flood defenitely has potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
