ian1964 10,410 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 GREEKS EYEING CASH PLUS PLAYER SWAP DEAL WITH GERS OLYMPIACOS could use £2 million-rated Greek striker Kostas Mitroglou as bait in their bid to land Rangers keeper Allan McGregor. Express Sport revealed last week that the Greek champions were considering a move for McGregor while the Light Blues had Mitroglou watched at the weekend. Ibrox chief scout Neil Murray saw the 23-year-old, on-loan from Olympiacos, net for Atromitos in their 1-1 home draw with Levadiakos.Murray was also impressed with Atromitos midfielder Andreas Tatos but that area of the park is not a priority. FREE NEWS UPDATES 24/7...FOLLOW THE SCOTTISH EXPRESS ON TWITTER Murray, speaking in Greek newspaper Goal, said: “He [Mitroglou] has good technical ability, performs good runs, but his team in this game did not utilise him as they should.” Mitroglou, who has nine caps, has been told he isn’t part of Olympiacos coach Ernesto Valverde’s plans and so has been sent out on a season-long loan. ì I want to have an overall picture of the players and the level of the Greek league î Ibrox chief scout Neil Murray McCoist has made another frontman his priority and already has a string of options. If the feedback on Mitroglou is positive then it could persuade McCoist to make a move. The Rangers boss felt he was short of striking options when the window closed but that situation has now worsened as Stevie Naismith has done his cruciate and has been ruled out for the season. That has left the main goalscoring burden on the shoulders of Nikica Jelavic – who, himself, could be the subject of interest when the January window re-opens. McCoist has played Jelavic and Kyle Lafferty together but out with that he has limited options, with David Healy the only front man with any real experience. The Rangers boss has sent his scouting network all across the globe to try and find suitable attacking options. A lack of a cutting edge was apparent at the weekend as the SPL champions slipped up when they failed to score against St Johnstone at the weekend. Chief scout Murray also took in the Olympiacos v Panathinaikos derby and AEK Athens v Asteras Tripolis over the weekend. He confirmed “I want to have an overall picture of the players and the level of the Greek league.” Rangers currently have out-of-contract winger Sone Aluko on trial and he is set to play a closed-door game this afternoon. Aluko has done well and if he impresses then a deal could be offered, depending on whether or not compensation would have to be paid to Aberdeen. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/285186/Greeks-eyeing-cash-plus-player-swap-deal-with-Gers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,876 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Can't see the attraction from Shagger's perspective. He's just signed a long term deal, his missus has just had a baby. Why move to a foreign land with so much uncertainty over whether he'll settle, to an economy thats likely to be depressed for many years. Who's to say he'd get paid?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,240 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 All the truth in this is that Neil Murray spoke a few words about a couple of Greek players. No link to us whatsoever. Would he talk to the press and tell the world of football who we are likely to target? I think not. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm not entire sure why but I got the Star today, and they run this story. Murray's quote is a bit odd. He has good technical ability, performs good runs but his team did not utilise him in the way they should. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm not entire sure why but I got the Star today, and they run this story. Murray's quote is a bit odd. Says to me that he has good ability with a ball, also good at making runs but his team did not play to his strengths in that game, doesn't seem that odd 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
