ascender 352 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 So either our transfer budget is a good bit more than 6M, or WS is banking on getting some money back in for guys like Cousin, JCD, Buffel & Hemdani. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that Boyd may be on his way to Cardiff! Baffling all right - his scoring record isn't any better than Miller's, for club or country, yet are we gonna get heaps of obloquy (good word that) from the KM baiters? Anyway, our starting line up - any 2 (or 1) from Velicka, Miller or Lafferty! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 KYLE LAFFERTY will arrive in Glasgow this afternoon to complete a �£3million move to Rangers. The Ibrox side beat off Celtic - who had offered �£2.65m plus add-ons, including Derek Riordan - for the highly-rated Northern Ireland striker. Rangers, though, have also added a player to the deal and it's believed Alan Gow will move to Burnley. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football-news/scottish-football/spl-football/rangers-fc/2008/06/17/exclusive-rangers-set-to-complete-3m-kyle-lafferty-deal-today-86908-20610307/ Are we going to miss out the midfield all together next season 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Im 50 times more depressed about signing Lafferty than Kenny Miller. I hope im proved wrong here. Im weighing up last season forward line to this coming seasons: JCD, Cousin, Boyd, Novo v Miller, Velicka, Lafferty, Novo Oh, and good luck Alan Gow, I hope you reveal what you did to not get a game! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I think there is no chance that we have finished bringing players in. The 6M budget has always looked like a hoax to me, to wind up Rangers fans. SDM said WS would get a similar budget to last year - that was about a gross 12.5M on players purchases. We should also not forget that you can get some great players on a Bosman or freebie - a la Prso and some very good ones like Weir and Alexander, and also some squad fillers like Dailly and Broadfoot. I can't see someone as sensible as Walter spending all his budget on one part of the team when there are other obvious weaknesses. At minimum we need a full back (possibly who can play both sides), a right winger and a creative central midfielder. We could also do with another centre half but with Wier and Webster staying, we're probably covered. However, I think we'll get another in if Dailly goes. The most disappointing thing is that it looks like we're no going to bring in a striker who will excite us. The position is pretty much filled. I think there are some other players we already have who will play a big part next season and almost be like new signings: Webster, Smith, Beasley and Fleck. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, our starting line up - any 2 (or 1) from Velicka, Miller or Lafferty! Yes, the calumny from the anti KM brigade will be deafning... I can see another group airing similar to Lafferty. He is though, like Miller unproven but lets not forget they are coming to a league that is not as good as the one's they leave.

Talking of Smith, anyone know what the real situation is with him? He came back last season v Thistle, then was left out, maybe because he wasn't fully match fit. But is there really a doubt about his career? If not, I can't believe we would be linked with the Argentine from Monaco, considering we have good cover with Papac and even Whittaker. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 With the signing of 3 strikers and no links to ANY midfielder, I wonder if WS plans are an attacking 4-3-3 football next season, something like this: _________________McGregor___________________ Whittaker_____Carlos_______Webster______Papac _______Davis______Ferguson_____Thomson_______ _____Miller_________Velicka______Lafferty________ With a back up team of: _________________Alexander___________________ ???????_______Webster_____Broadfoot______Smith _______Furman_____Hemdani______Beasley_______ _______Novo_______Boyd_________McCulloch____ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
