m_momo1 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 In the Metro today collins laughs at rangers £3mill attempt move for the pair. Saying there are possible premiership teams and Celtic of course also after them and we (rangers), where trying to do the sneaky by putting in early bids. To be honest can't see us paying £2-3mill each for them. I'd be sad to see them at the other half of the City. For the above post Brown's contract runs out 2009 and Thomson 2010 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 No manager in his right mind would accept the first offer before the window opens. Putting in an offer like that is ok on january 28 if no one has toned any interest. I would be disappointed if our manager accepted such an offer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Love to see the pair of them at Ibrox, especially Brown. If we get the pair if them for £3mill I'll be very surpised though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 We've now notified Hibs of our interest officially, in writing, to which they've responded to say they want 3M each for the players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hmm, I really don't think Thompson is a £3mill player. Brown on the other hand most definately is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Three million for both is more like it. I always think that the starting point for what club thinks their player's worth is, is what's left of his wages on his contract. That makes them worth less than £200,000 each... The are on £1200 a week each till 2009 and 2010. Our negotiating will be stronger when the players realise they are being blocked from a 1000% payrise and don't want to play anymore... I think the compromise will be half what Hibs are claiming for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yip, its obviously just a starting point. The worrying thing though is that it looks like we can't afford 1M, let alone the 3M which looks more like a realistic bargaining point. Unless PLG moves someone like Buffel on, I can see us missing out on these guys unless they really want to come to Ibrox and we go for them next summer maybe. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,419 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 IMO i don't think we should be spending that kind of money on these players, i honestly believe if we get our defence sorted out we would be a far better side, so for me the money, if we have any should be spent on centre half 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fozzy_bear Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 see if we splashed the cash, think how good a midfield we could have picking from burke (if we pay him enuf to stay) brown ferguson clement adam thomson notice how well balanced that cud be with both right and left footers plus attacking and defensive guys n all gotta be worth the cash, midfields win games 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO we should spend what cash we have for defenders,[ centre half]. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
