ian1964 10,416 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 ALLY McCOIST has revealed Rangers are back in talks with former hero Carlos Cuellar despite slapping in a fresh bid for Anderlecht centre-back Roland Juhasz. Rangers boss, Ally McCoist who yesterday welcomed Kyle Bartley back to the club from Arsenal on loan, is eager to get at least one deal done before Monday’s UEFA signing deadline and new offers have been put in for Juhasz and Den Haag winger Wesley Verhoek. Anderlecht are looking for Ã?£4m for Juhasz, who has made a public plea to his Belgian bosses to let him go, while Ã?£2m-rated Dutchman Verhoek is also attracting interest from Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Vitesse Arnhem. McCoist, though, is understood to be interested in bolstering his defence further with Madjid Bougherra having now been sold to Qatari club Lekhwiya for Ã?£1.7m. And he gets the feeling Cuellar is keen to seal an Ibrox return from Aston Villa with a Ã?£2m fee already agreed. He said: “Juhasz has always been very high on my ‘to do’ list and Verhoek is still in the reckoning. Ã?¬ Fresh offers went in for both shortly before the Malmo game in midweek and we await responses from their clubs. Ã?® Ally McCoist “Fresh offers went in for both shortly before the Malmo game in midweek and we await responses from their clubs. “If we are not successful, though, I have a list of targets that would take until the end of August to read never mind anything else. “Carlos is going to see his specialist next week for an update on his knee injury, so we are monitoring that. “I am still very keen to get Carlos, but he’s not immediate because he won’t be able to play for six or seven weeks. His representatives have been speaking to (head of administration) Andrew Dickson.” Hungarian Juhasz is eager to join Rangers and is begging his Anderlecht bosses not to spark a dispute by holding out for too large a fee. He said: “The interest from Rangers is concrete and I want to play in British football. “I do not want a war with Anderlecht, because we have built up great memories together, but I hope the club don’t put things in my way. “I am making this decision for sporting reasons and not for financial ones.” McCoist does have room for defenders in his squad with Bougherra now officially on his way and Kirk Broadfoot threatening to leave should he fail to secure a regular first-team place. McCoist said: “Make no mistake, we are losing one of our best players, but business is business. “If we are to lose him, it is better to do it now and look to bring in others.” Rangers have released German trialist David Odonkor, but will take a second look at Arsenal kid Rhys Murphy. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/263282/Ally-McCoist-back-in-for-Aston-Villa-defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm not sure we need Goian, Juhasz, Cuellar, Bartley and Weir although it would be nice. We need at least one more striker imo, Verhoek would be good to have also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm not sure we need Goian, Juhasz, Cuellar, Bartley and Weir although it would be nice. Obviously looking forward, Weir won't be part of any plans. Also Bartley in only gonna be here for the season. So long term basing out Central defence around Goian, Cuellar & Juhasz is a good thing. On the winger front.....judging by who is actually playing on the wings (Edu recently), we definately need another winger. It's an area where we have always seemed to struggle over the past few years. If we can get some good, fast guys in who can deliver a 1/2 decent cross - things will be rosey & Jela/Naisey will bang in the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,249 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 If we get Cuellar and Juhasz, which I do not foresee, we'd most likely have a central defence of Cuellar, Juhasz, and Goian, with Bartley being a sub or used in central midfield. Whittaker has shown twice already this season that he's not good at right back, or, let's say he's dropped in form in this respect. I would not be surprised to see us using e.g. Edu out there, for he has pace and is able to break-up play. To back him up, Cuellar has featured at RB for Villa for years now. Edu moving out there would also ease the way in for Bartley, Ness and Hutton. You would expect McCulloch being suspended every now and then. You'd hope we do get Verhoek, since any winger we get in ensures that we keep Naismith through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
