ascender 352 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 This is a guy I thought we should have signed some time ago. He wanted to come to Ibrox but our offer was short and we wouldn't pay the extra bit needed to secure him. Then at the start of this season I thought he wouldn't be up to the standard of Svensson & Papac, but now I'm not so sure. Looks like he could come back to a Scottish club on loan until the summer where he could then sign on a permanent deal. Does anyone else think he's worth a punt? I know he's not the commanding centre half we badly need, but he's got SPL experience and on the basis of what we've seen, I think he's better than any of our current centre halves. Of course, whether PLG would want to sign him is another thing entirely, but I'd rather see us signing someone who really wants to play for the club and knows what's expected of him at Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Webster isnt my first choice but id take him. Id still rather a Pressley type defender but he looks like he is going to Charlton or Celtic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekont 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 We are crying out for a decent centre half - someone who can sort out our defence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id still rather a Pressley type defender but he looks like he is going to Charlton or Celtic. It really annoys me that we have not tried to sign Pressley, I think he would be ideal and help the like of Svensson Hutton etc beside him. I'll be fuming if he ends up at Parkhead. We'll end up going for some 22 year old Frenchman or something 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eightball 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I would definitely take Webster. He is a good player and is obviously familiar with the cut and thrust of the SPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Again, I see Webster as a fairly low risk signing. He's not going to cost too much in wages and has SPL experience. Bit of a no brainer surely? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppardized2001 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Well if we could get him in January transfer window on a loan deal till the end of the season i'd agree it would be a no brainer. He was a Scotland squad regular and Hearts first teamer until his contract impasse led to him being frozen out game and would give our defence someone with much needed SPL experience.

Whosthedado 1,519 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 As I've said on this topic already I'm really disappointed we didn't get Pressley ore even try to get him. However Webster would be a good addition. Looking at what has happened since the summer, maybe we should have made our move then 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
