LycanGav Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Wenger made serious overtures towards Caracciolo after his thirty goal season a few years back, but his demands were reportedly astronomical. Struggled a bit since leaving Brescia, but he does seem to be the type of striker Rangers would want in their attack (6ft 6 or so, good at holding up play, strong). Could really go either way, either ripping the league up or being absolutely pish, especially since he is supposedly very much a confidence player.

kerrski Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Obviously im no expert, but i get the feeling if Fletcher ended up at a club like Rangers, where he is one of the best or better players, then he will shine. At Man Utd he is never going to be anymore than a squad player. I would rather have him than Broon9. He has great vision, precise long range passing, and crucially for me, gets beyond the strikers.

Makes me happy to see that wee git cry. He's conveniently forgetting Goncalves got away with a similar ball to hand scenario 20 seconds before the goal. Personally, I think McCurry got both calls wrong, but at least he was consistent with his interpretation of the offence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo22 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 LIFELONG Rangers fan Steve Davis has finally realised a dream by earning a move to his boyhood heroes.The 23-year-old Fulham midfielder has signed up on loan until the end of the season and is finally getting the chance to play for the club he loves, 11 years after being rejected as a kid. Davis came over from Northern Ireland for trials when he was 12 and was involved in the same set-up as Stevie Smith but things didn't work out and he ended up making the grade at Aston Villa. Now Davis is getting his chance to pull on the blue shirt and he can't wait. He told rangers.co.uk: "It really is a dream come true for me. I have been a fan all of my life so to get the chance to come to Rangers is fantastic. "I grew up as a fan and I have remained that way so when I heard that Rangers were interested in taking me it was a no-brainer really. "Since the manager has been changed at Fulham things have not worked out for me so I welcome this chance to come to Glasgow. "I'm finally getting my chance after missing out when I was a kid. I came over for trials when I was 12 and I played in the same team as Stevie Smith. "I'm glad he's doing well again and I look forward to meeting up with him when I get there tomorrow." Davis could be highly useful to boss Walter Smith with Kevin Thomson out for a period following a hernia operation and he aims to take his chance. He said: "Rangers are in a great position right now as they are challenging on all fronts and it will be fantastic to be part of that. "I hope to win trophies with Rangers in my time with the club. That would be fantastic. I obviously know who the players are and to play in the same team as Barry Ferguson would be great." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo22 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Chick Dung has said he spoke to Smith a little while ago, he says he's still in Italy. If thats the case I doubt we will sign anyone else now. If thats the case I dont think we're going to be strong enough to win the league. IMO we needed to bring in a new striker to play in the first 11. Dissapointing transfer window for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's me thinking you'd have known it as well... www.gersnetonline.net According to David Tanner (SSN) we won't be making any more signings anyway. Disappointing that we lost out on the Italian and frustrating that we didn't seem to have a second choice player lined up in case of problems. Eggs. Basket. The Davis signing seems a decent one (even if the name confused us all earlier today) but whether or not it's enough remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
