New Bids In for Naismith and McCulloch????


Recommended Posts

Depressing if true. From tomorrow's Herald...

 

Kilmarnock last night rejected a fourth bid from Rangers for the services of Steven Naismith and also knocked back a more attractive offer from another major club.

 

The Ibrox club submitted the same offer totalling £1.5m which was rejected at the weekend, but structured it differently.

 

This time, they offered £1m in two instalments and lowered the appearances threshold at which the further £500,000 would be due. Kilmarnock value the SPFA young player of the year at £2m and are unwilling to compromise.

"We have informed them that it is still not acceptable," said Michael Johnston, the Kilmarnock chairman. "As far as we are concerned, Steven is getting on the plane to Italy for their pre-season training camp today and we will see what happens over the summer."

 

The club confirmed another offer had also been received. "It is a more attractive offer than the Rangers one and might be the subject of future discussions," added Johnston.

 

There also appears to be no movement in negotiations with Osasuna over defender Carlos Cuellar. Juanjo Lorenzo, the club's sporting director, said: "Glasgow's Rangers' interest in Cuellar is still there and we have to continue to analyse the situation

Also, the latest rumour on a number of forums is that Hibs have outbid us for him. I'm sure this is nonsense, but I guess it shows just how much of a laughing stock we've become where this sort of thing is even credible.

I seem to get the impression that Rangers are willing to take weeks to get the cheapest price possible while all we are doing is giving other teams the knowledge of how high to go with the first offer. Selling clubs are so pissed off by us they may even sell off cheaper than first wanted to get one over on us.
