A well written piece as usual mate. Very fair and balanced. Every RST member should take note ahead of the SGM announced in the other thread.

Should be indeed.

You could be right mate. I think Velicka is a decent signing actually and could possibly now be the most all-round player we have. He is supposed to be rather lazy though but I guess he won't get away with that here.
-
True but I think the wee man is still going to be played in the wider roles....
-
I trust The_Insider with Gersnet's reputation BD... Don't go telling our posters of his mistakes... :admin:
-
The_Insider suggests otherwise.... :notworthy:
-
You know what. I think IF we can keep Boyd - we have an excellent balance of decent players in attack. Boyd - Poacher/Goalscorer - International Experience Miller - Pace/Industry - International Experience Velicka - Strength/Aerial Ability - International Experience Lafferty - Touch/Height - International Experience Obviously I expect JCD and Cousin to both move on.
-
Same here mate but if we don't get them I shudder to think of plan B.
-
The rumours about AM wanting leave have been strong for months. Various stories about the why, when and who but I think it's reasonable to suggest he may well be the man to move on to ensure our net spending is within our usual limits.
-
I think that's a certainty...
-
I think most of us would have said the same about AM 18 months ago mate and he's developed into a fine goalie. Alexander could do the same IMO. We still need to spend more on the team and while I want CC/AM to stay, I'll be understanding if we sell one (preferably AM for me) in order to bring in another couple of players.
-
Completely agree Cal...

Hi EB: Welcome to Gersnet. We're obviously nowhere near as busy as FF but we do have a good core of posters who give us a regular excellent level of debate. Now, could you please send a wee bit of your weather over here. Even your winter stuff must beat our summer...
-
We need to stop complaining about fixtures - no matter how valid these claims may be - and start doing our talking on the pitch.
-
I'd be genuinely delighted if we can keep CC and offering him a new contract is a signal that we want to do so - even if it's to remove the alleged �£10m minimum fee clause from his current one. Unfortunately, if we're to spend more money this summer (on top of the �£6million already spent) I still think one of Cuellar or McGregor (more likely) will leave.

You can get your money back at any time... http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/rstsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=41#q15

Formally as far as I'm aware the GerSave scheme will remain in place. However, the main guy behind it (Malcolm McNiven) and the very capable chap that administrated it (Derek Howie) have both resigned. I've also heard unconfirmed rumours that parts of the remaining board are not keen on the scheme for reasons known only to themselves. That's bizarre given how crucial it is to the RST's primary aims. I know that before I resigned we were planning to try and improve the marketing of the scheme but obviously I can't tell you if that continues to be the case.
-
Another resignation today... http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/rs...16&Itemid=1 David Tweed was one of the founder members of the Trust. It's a sad day when he's also had to resign because of certain policies.
-
Only seen Lafferty once in a FA Cup match last season and I thought he looked a decent player actually... Good age and has the potential to improve further.
-
Wouldn't be a surprise if that was the case but it is funny how the chairman talked about sorting out Gold over the summer and yet the fixtures still seem weighed against us... As such he should be taking the lead over the issue - not sending out supporters reps.
-
Yeah, JT certainly has his weaknesses but he's done a reasonably good job here. Of course it should be Bain/SDM voicing the concern.
-
Will sign for us later today...
-
Essential (and unforeseen) maintenance unfortunately... Thanks for your continued support and patience.

Will keep these posts separate from the main thread as the thrust is linked directly with Gersnet... http://www.gersnetonline.net/newsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=649&Itemid=1 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 Ã?£20million, the money currently available to Walter Smith is nowhere near that amount. As it stands, despite raking in around Ã?£30million last season (from Hutton/Europe) the manager only has Ã?£6million to play with ââ?¬â?? plus any income from players who do leave. Kenny Miller has already arrived ââ?¬â?? much to the disappointment of many Rangers fans ââ?¬â?? so around Ã?£1.6million has already been spent. Because of this arrival Peter LÃ?¸venkrands 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 donââ?¬â?¢t think weââ?¬â?¢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 Smithââ?¬â?¢s sights. Able to play wide or in attack, the big Northern Irish player may be beyond Rangersââ?¬â?¢ current budget though. Rangers have offered Ã?£2.2million but Burnley are holding out for around twice that fee ââ?¬â?? 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 donââ?¬â?¢t want to lose prize asset Carlos Cuellar, The_Insider has heard the Spaniard actually has a Ã?£10million release clause in his contract. The player himself doesnââ?¬â?¢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. Gersnetââ?¬â?¢s information is that Smith will allow the keeper to leave for around Ã?£8million although Spurs prefer a stepped deal from around Ã?£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 skipperââ?¬â?¢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 Ã?£1.5million fee has been agreed with an as yet unnamed continental side so it appears the likeable French strikerââ?¬â?¢s Rangers career has finally been hamstrung. Thatââ?¬â?¢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. :box:
