pete 2,499 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Rangers have agreed a �£1.5million fee with Stoke City for James Beattie. The 32-year-old is expected to hold talks with Walter Smith on Thursday ahead of agreeing the proposed move. Making his move: James Beattie has joined Rangers Making his move: James Beattie has joined Rangers Beattie has been keen to kickstart his career at Stoke after a bust-up with manager Tony Pulis but the arrival of Kenwyne Jones will push him down the pecking order. Noooooo! Never been a success wherever he played. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Source? I'd be reasonably pleased with that. A big old fashioned target man for Miller to play off He was a revelation at Southampton and Sheffield United, though granted he failed everywhere else 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,195 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Daily Mail online are carrying the story. 1.5 mill for a 32 yr old ? ZERO sell-on value.... whilst it isnt all about sell-on value will he really give us a level of ability to offset the loss of any subsequent transfer fee ? Does this mean, if true, the Jelavic deal is dead ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I think he would do well. I'm slightly concerned noone at rangers is talking to each other and we may end up signing half a dozen strikers!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) We could be linked with Lionel Messi and you'd still moan about how Struth wouldnae sign a foreigner with shoulder length hair. Considering we have a squad of about 14 players, signing one veteran is fine by me Edited August 11, 2010 by Flying Hippo 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
