I read an interview with Fergie and he said that Martin was almost here last year to help Eck but they felt he was just a bit immature instead he was sent to the less hectic Belgian second division. Fergie said that as long as his young players get a game, Ibrox is a great place to for his young players as it gets them used to big crowds and playing under pressure. Funny that Strachan is trying to repair burnt bridges with Fergie now we are tapping in to the Manu youth. I have a bit of mixed feelings on this, i hate Rangers being a nursery club to anyone but Rangers but i suppose it makes financial sense.

He certainly is a great football player but his willingness and motivation are far to be found. Bolton are a team that have to take points through hard work, so i feel he is not the soort of player they should be signing. He may prove me wrong though.( Against Chelsea i hope;) )

11:40 - 25 August 2006 Plymouth Argyle, who travel to Stoke tomorrow, have put winger Bojan Djordjic on the transfer list. The 24-year-old, who joined Argyle from Rangers in 2005, has not impressed new Pilgrims boss Ian Holloway. "It is based on my observations since I have been here," Holloway said. "I know what I want, he should be practising corners and free-kicks every day. The boy knows what I've said and it is down to him. If he makes me change my mind, great - but at the moment he is on it." Torquay United are home to Chester City in League 2. In League 1 Yeovil Town entertain early season leaders Port Vale. This guy seems to be more talented with his mouth rather than his feet.

It dosn't matter the clubs got their money now. I hope they enjoy it and have a great day. Probably your mates last good day out if he is getting married.

As far as i know the clubs have agreed the fee and the descision now lies with Nacho. I think it will be the best move for everyone if he goes. I still love him for giving the tims the cold shoulder. The lob over the keeper against the tims also sticks in my mind.

Frankie you have to have patience, stopping for three games does not make us an non-alchoholc. The problem lies deeper than that. It is a great thing that we have shown in a few weeks we are willing to change. We must not worry what others are doing, we have to get our own house in order instead of worrying about the rest. If we set the borders then the rest have to stay with in them.

Frankie i agree it should not be ignored, but if two obstenate people don't give in then there can be no agreement. If we get our bed in order first then we will be seen to be the winners. If we are seen to be the bigoted party we will be hunted for years to come.

To be honest Frankie i do not think we are losing. Once the scales are sloping to one side they will have to put weights on the other side to get the balance again. Secterianism has to be faced up to now. I have no problem with that. If we have to clean our bedroom first then so be it. It is time to move into the twentieth century. It is time to support Rangers and not sectarianism.

David Weir (Everton) do we not have any better than him

Just kidding mate, i couldn't resist it.

I never saw the second leg of the Ajax-Copenhagen tie but in the first game Copenhagen were much the better team and should not have lost. Ajax, no, Huntelaar hit them with 2 sucker punches. They have Allbeck up front who is always a handfull for any defence and the other striker(Can't think of his name) is lightning quick. They are certainly no mugs.

Agreed Gribz they should throw the book at him for this it is a disgusting challenge. The rule that he can't get any further punishment because of a yellow card is also crap. A referee can get things wrong now and again:(

Ach your not bad at doing that yourself Craig!

Agreed Cal them going straight out may come back to haunt us in years to come.

You can see Quinn is a gambling man, being a good player does not mean you are a good manager. He would be better starting his management career at a lower profile club. If he fails at Sunderland it could ruin his managerial career.

Roy Keane is being linked with a sensational return to football as manager of Sunderland. The club refused to state Keane was on the brink of being handed the job, however they confirmed talks with "a high-profile figure" were ongoing with a view to a swift appointment. The Black Cats slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Bury on Tuesday in the first round of the Carling Cup, a result which came on the back of four straight league losses. Niall Quinn, the chairman-manager, decided to relinquish all coaching duties after the Gigg Lane shock and announced his intention to appoint a "world-class" new boss. Manchester United legend Keane has no prior management experience, which would make him raw to the job rather than of established pedigree. However he enjoyed enormous success during his playing career and as a former United captain is a recognised leader. Quinn also knows him well, the pair having played in the same Republic of Ireland side for many years. Sunderland said in a statement: "No new managerial appointment has been made at this time. "The club is in discussions with a high-profile figure and is hopeful an announcement will be made in the near future." Keane, 35, retired as a player in June, after a short spell with Celtic during which he helped the Bhoys win the Bank of Scotland Premier League and Scottish League Cup. He ended a 12-year association with United in November 2005 and fulfilled a lifetime ambition by joining Celtic on an 18-month deal. He managed only 13 appearances for the Hoops before quitting on medical advice. With his body ravaged after cruciate ligament and hip operations, Keane had no choice other than to follow doctor's orders, and - should he be confirmed as Sunderland's new boss - there seems no prospect of him combining management with playing at the Stadium of Light. Well that will cut off any chance of Rangers players going there.

Rangers offered Zenit fullback Skrtel tribalfooball.com - August 22, 2006 Rangers boss Paul Le Guen is mulling over an offer for Zenit St Petersburg fullback Martin Skrtel. Le Guen will check out the 21 year-old Slovak tonight as Zenit visit Ibrox.

If we can ship out all the deadwood it will seemingly release 2mill pounds on wages. I think at least 1CB is a cert with possibly one more player. Possible\probable deals now going through. Hamed Namouchi is close to completing a move from Rangers to French club Lorient on a three-year deal. An agreement has been thrashed out between the clubs and the 22-year-old Tunisia midfielder, who is due in France for a medical. ----------------------------------------- Middlesbrough are rivaling Bolton Wanderers for Rangers defender Jose-Karl Pierre-Fanfan. However, The Herald says Bolton are expected to sign the centre-half, possibly as early as today. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunderland are in pursuit of Rangers player, Gavin Rae. The Scotland international is now completely fit after a succession of knee injuries. The 28-year-old, may be tempted to the Stadium of Light as he seeks first-team football to continue to figure in the Scottish Squad. Quinn would even take the powerful Rae on a season-long loan and Le Guen may give the move the go-ahead. Rae has made only 14 starts during his injury-plagued stay at Ibrox. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Olivier Bernard is set to agree a free transfer switch to Sheffield United ----------------------------------------------------------- I think Malcolm is also close to a deal but i can't find any new news at the mo.

Great choice and tribute to the greatest manager ever.

Swedish legend Henrik Larsson could face a lengthy suspension following an incident at the weekend. Larsson, now playing for Helsingborg in his homeland, clashed with Elfsborg defender Jon Jonsson during a cup tie on Saturday. The 34-year-old has been reported to the Swedish FA following the clash. However, Helsingborg chairman Sten-Inge Fredin is hopeful his star man can avoid a major punishment. "I have talked to him and he is regretting what happened," Fredin told Sportbladet. "These kind of incidents often happen in matches, unfortunately. "There is optimism in the side and I don't believe they will be affected negatively by this incident. "It is not certain that he will be suspended.

He is in deep trouble for punching an opposing player in the stumoch. Very much out of character i must say but the player could not continue. The police are seemingly getting involved as well.

Agreed Gribz most of the rumours are tripe but that makes the last two weeks of the transfer window interesting. I love the last few hours before it shuts. January was most disapointing though. Mainly because we lost out on all the players we were supposed to want.

I agree with fanfc, but the first was taken from TalkManUnited.com who say it comes from the people. Not possible, We are the people!
