alexscottislegend 2,084 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Breaking news - BBC football website. Shittu rejected personal terms after clubs had agreed �£1.5m. No great loss methinks. Put money towards BF replacement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Agreed. Although he looked like a decent buy at �£1.5m, it's not really where we need cover ATM. Webster, Dailly, Papac, Broadfoot & Hemdani can all play at CB, so we should be concentrating on the midfield. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,508 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I don't think he was really needed either,but it kind of sums up our club at the moment that we can't even agree terms with a Watford player! Every deal nowadays becomes a long turgid affair. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Not managing to get a Watford player is embarrassing but its also no major loss. Id rather the money go to a midfielder. If we really need to sign another centre half then we should set our sights higher. If its a stop gap player then we should go for Zander Diamond or someone like that who wont cost nearly as much. But im hoping Webster gets fit 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It's not a great loss IMO, defence is one area where we are pretty well covered. Good luck to him if he thinks he can go to a better team and also earn the money he was demanding. There are plenty more defenders the same quality out there for less as gribz said. I also hope we put this towards a midfielder!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a total arsehole of a guy. I hate the bastard! Plus he was photographed in a Celtic shirt he got for his birthday last year. No fuckin' thanks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Laudrup Loyal Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Rangers do this on purpose all the time now by offer pish deals knowing the player will knock it back & now they can come out with the whole we did do are best pish & the fans are like **** him greedy ******* **** him Well i dont think its the players 90% of the time its people in Rangers who couldnt give a **** if we win the league or not & thats about 90% too Thats my rant over & good ****in night 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather sign the likes of Diamond for 750k and pay him peanuts compared to Shittu if he is just going to be a stop gap regardless of how much a cock he is. IMO we should be looking for another Cuellar or even a player half as good. I dont think Shittu was good enough now that Carlos has set the standards. Id draw the line at Lee Wilkie though 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every deal nowadays becomes a long turgid affair. Someone wants too much money, and you expect Rangers to roll over and agree? Some business head you've got. Let's just give any player and any club whatever they ask for... Hope you're better with your own money, but like most, you probably find it easier to spend someone else's money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
