ian1964 10,415 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 ALLY McCOIST has told Ibrox owner Craig Whyte to make Dundee United star David Goodwillie his summer signing priority. SunSport can reveal the Rangers boss returned from his Argentinian spying trip more determined than ever to nab 22-year-old Scotland striker Goodie. McCoist saw 10 top Argentinian teams in action as he tried to unearth a hidden gem that would fit into his strict signing budget. Reports he was ready to swoop for Paraguayan winger Marcelo Estigarribia of Newell's Old Boys are well wide of the mark. Instead McCoist will now await the outcome of the rape charge that has hung over Scotland's Young Player of the Year Goodwillie since January. It is understood that the striker has privately told friends he'd jump at the chance to fight for the right to partner Gers star Nikica Jelavic. McCoist left Argentina most impressed by 29-year-old Arsenal de Sarandi ace Ivan Obolo. The striker, on the fringes of the international team throughout his career, has left his homeland before to star for Piacenza in Italy and Burgos in Spain. He was also a massive hit in Sweden where he shone for Celtic No2 Johan Mjallby's club AIK Stockholm and won the league and cup before moving home. Obolo is the player McCoist identified as the pick of what he saw but at 29 and with possible work permit problems I understand any swoop for the gifted frontman has now been ruled out.

Gazza_8 233 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 At least he's going to wait to see what the outcome of the rape case is. Does anyone know when the trial is? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 So long as we keep our current players and add Hemed, Goodwillie, Dann, Weiss and Bartley then we would be in decent shape for the season. Obviously the defence is where the uncertainty is, with Bougherra possibly leaving and Weir not confirmed his future. If we were to get Cuellar then thats massive. Starting to get interesting. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,329 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Do we need Goodwillie and Hemed? Does McCoist know/think that one of our strikers is leaving? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I would say we need 4 strikers. Beattie doesn't cut it. That leaves Lafferty and Jelavic. Obviously Naismith can play up there but has played well just off the strikers. I would say we need another winger so that might include an Argentinian... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Part exchange for Alexis Sanchez I read. Barca also are trying to get Sanchez and using Bojan as a part exchange. Man Utd are chasing too. I guess it depends on who ponies up the most cash as to where he will go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Barca are also using Bojan for Fabregas until a bid is made its just speculation. Back to us I can't see us getting Weiss, just need to move on I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
