Gazza_8 233 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 From the Mirror. Rangers are chasing Derby County�s contract rebel Kris Commons - and hope to take the Scotland international in a bargain deal. Boss Walter Smith wants reinforcements on his slim budget and sent top spy Ian Wilson, the former Leicester midfielder, to watch Commons in action in his last three games. Commons has yet to agree a new deal with the Rams and could leave on a free transfer at the end of the season - although Rangers are planning to try for him in the January window. The talented buy injury-jinxed star has the kind of flair that Rangers lack in the their squad and he would be a big addition for them if a deal can be sorted out in the New Year. The Glasgow giants are willing to wait until the end of the campaign to try their luck and offer him the pay deal that Derby may not be able to match. Commons has been capped by Scotland and a move to the SPL would only enhance his chances of a regular game in the national side rather than trying to push his claims from the Championship. No quotes from Rangers or the player himself. Great, another injury jinxed star. Do we never learn? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think he'd be a decent addition, especially on a free. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juffery 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 He always did a decent enough job for Scotland, don't watch the championship but I think he gets a few goals. Injury history is a risk though. Someone to keep Webster company? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totti 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Not financially we arent - and we need to be cognisant of that. Champions league level players can be found cheaply eg Bougherra, Cuellar, Papac, Davis etc. Commons is a 27 year old playing in the championship for a reason 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've thought for a while now that Commons is very similar to McFadden. Both flatter to deceive more than actually doing anything worthwhile in a game. Both can score quality goals but likewise hide for entire matches. I'd rather we spend any money we have on someone with a better reputation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I quite like Commons, but I'd much prefer we saved every penny we can & tried to buy Weiss in the summer if possible. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
