ian1964 10,409 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Rangers have been linked with a move for French internationalist striker Jimmy Briand. It is believed Ibrox scouts have been spying on the Rennes star following his return from a knee injury which kept him out of action for 10 months. With the possibility of Kris Boyd leaving in the summer, boss Walter Smith has asked his scouts to scour Europe for a replacement, especially if they should land another �£12m Champions League jackpot by retaining the title. If a new buyer comes in, the Rangers manager wants to be in a position to makes immediate moves for players. Briand, 24, who is also being monitored by Bordeaux and Marseille, had agreed to move to Paris St Germain before his injury while on international duty in March, but the transfer fell through when the clubs couldnâ��t agree a fee. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor-s-picks-ignore/rangers-on-trail-of-striker-1.1007814 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOneAmoruso 0 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 �£2.5m is the fee mooted but with Bordeaux and Marseille sniffing around I can't see this as being anything other than paper talk. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barr 0 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I honestly wouldn't believe a word of it until i saw him run on the park with a Gers strip on. Good player though! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I'd have thought strikers are the one place we don't need to be looking at until we move one or two on. Boyd, Miller, Novo, Lafferty & Fleck can all play up front. Unless we can engineer some sort of swap deal for Lafferty obviously.

Zappa 0 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The guy's not a goal-scorer so definitely not a Boyd replacement - thankfully! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 The guy's not a goal-scorer so definitely not a Boyd replacement - thankfully! No one in France is a goal scorer, it's always a low scoring league. :fish: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
