Summer Transfer thread - fun while it lasted!

Lots of it will depend on e.g.:

 

- is this interest for real

- does he cost any significant money

- would he want to come here, exchanging EPL wages for SPL wages and European footie & silverware

 

I for one wouldn't mind Puncheon and Conway, as we do need depths in squad for the years ahead. A squad capable of winning the SPL marathon and some European games.

 

Dare I suggest Peter Whittingham as an alternative? Cardiff have failed to get to the premeirship again and I think Whittingham would be perfect for the left midfield position. �£2.5m - �£3m.

Hey, you can suggest people to your heart's content!

 

On a sidenote, the official website reports about an article in the Rangers News that Ally wants to re-deal Weir, Healy and Little in too. Squad-players no doubt and not on high wages either. I doubt that we will want Beattie back, but he's 12 months to run anyways.

 

ET says that his agent is in talks about him coming up on a new deal too, I wonder what sort of money Blackburn and he looks for.

 

I wouldn't mind Foster as squad back-up either.

Of all of them I distinctly want Healy back. A good wee striker, like a modest Boyd without the attitude. I like him a lot and I'd be happy for him to stay.

Not really anything like Boyd tbf.

To be fair to Healy he hasnt been given a decent chance. Looked assured enough and with decent touch when he did play. I would give him another deal on reasonably low wages, so long as he will entertain being a squad player.

Eh? Healy has an awful club goal scoring record.

 

I'd take Healy as backup but would prefer a better option.

RANGERS have targetted �£2.5 million-rated Southampton winger Jason Puncheon for a summer move to Ibrox.

 

With on loan Manchester City starlet Vladimir Weiss set to sign for Spanish side Espanyol next season, manager in waiting Ally McCoist has moved swiftly to identify the 24 year old as a possible replacement.

 

The SPL champions have already touched base with Puncheon's representatives to see if he would consider a switch north of the border and received "positive" feed back from the former Wimbledon wide man who has spent the second half of this season on-loan at Premiership Blackpool.

 

Pool' boss Ian Holloway has the option to sign Puncheon on a permanent basis for �£1.5 million but that clause has now expired and he is well aware that Southampton now value him far higher.

 

Puncheon's agent Tony Finnegan said: "I have had a phone call from somebody involved in the new set-up at Rangers asking me about Jason Puncheon's situation.

Jason Puncheon's agent Tony Finnegan

 

 

"The person I spoke to said he knew Jason is playing in the English Premier League but would he be interested in a possible move to Rangers?

 

"I spoke to Jason and then went back to them and told them he would be interested. Who wouldn't be interested in a move to a club like Rangers? They regularly win honours, play in the Champions League and are one of the best supported clubs in Britain.

 

"I think they also appreciate that Jason has done things the hard way coming through the ranks and has managed to force his way all the way to the top in England,

 

"There is quite a bit of interest in Jason but he still has a big game left with Blackpool and we will wait and see what happens after that."

 

Puncheon expects to move in the summer because he has been told he is surplus requirements at Southampton, having fallen foul of Saints boss Nigel Adkins.

 

The Englishman kicked off his career with Wimbledon before dropping into the non-leagues with Fisher Athletic and Lewes. He made his professional return with Barnet and moved on to Plymouth and then Southampton for �£400,000 in 2010.

 

Former Wigan defender Andreas Granqvist, who is currently with Dutch side Groningen is also amongst Ally McCoist's summer targets along with Hearts' Lee Wallace and Dundee's David Goodwillie.

 

He is also trying to get Kyle Bartley back on loan from Arsenal.

Read this on the BBC gossip page. So Weiss is off to Espanyol is he? I will assume this was dictated by Mancini and is a loan deal. Otherwise Weiss is yet another in a long line of those who say one thing and do another, although he took it much further than any previous player ever has.

I've read Man City/Mancini want him to play in a better league than the SPL, i admit the Spanish league is slightly better

tbh he has looked of that ilk - a goal poacher who's all about being in the right place at the right time.
