Gribz 743 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Rangers star Thomas Buffel would relish the opportunity to join forces with former team-mate Johan Elmander again. The Swedish World Cup striker, who played with Buffel at Feyenoord, has been linked with a move to Ibrox. And Buffel told the Mail on Sunday: "Johan is very fast, quite powerful and a big lad who can be dangerous. "Of course, everyone has to prove themselves in another team and another competition, but I think he has the ability to play for Rangers." Elmander, 26, has scored seven goals for Sweden in 19 appearances and made his World Cup debut as a substitute against Paraguay on Thursday. He is currently with Danish side Brondby but Buffel has good memories of the forward from his time in Dutch football. "I remember that, when I trained with him at Feyenoord, we were quite a good couple," he added. "I played a little behind him mostly and we actually had a good partnership. "You can always use a player with pace and an eye for goal." 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Id almost forgotten about Buffel. Im glad PLG is on board with him as I think Buffel could be our most important player next year. I think PLG will use him in his best position and it will pay off. McLeish wasted him on the wings and didnt give him support through the middle. Roll on the new season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juffery 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 From the little bits I've heard of Elmander over the years I reckon he could be a decent signing. And hopefully PLG will have Buffel as in integral part of the team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudbertz 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yeah, i think Elmander is a striker more than attacking midfielder. Dont quote me on that though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
