craig 5,199 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 From the Scottish Sun so take with pinch of salt ! CHARLIE ADAM has been told he can LEAVE Rangers when the transfer window opens. SunSport can reveal that the home-grown midfielder is the latest star to be made available in January. Adam, just two seasons into a five-year contract, has failed to hold down a regular place and itââ?¬â?¢s understood he was given the shattering news by boss Walter Smith yesterday morning. The left-sided star has hit 18 goals in 85 top-team games but has never been a favourite among the Ibrox faithful. Now Adam, who turned 23 yesterday, has been told he can find another club as Gers seek to reduce the wage bill. They have also stalled on fresh contract talks with Scotland defender Kirk Broadfoot. Boss Smith was ready to hand the stopper a bumper new deal more than five weeks ago. But Broadfootââ?¬â?¢s agent Tom Callaghan insisted last night that all attempts by his representatives to get in touch with Gers chief executive Martin Bain have fallen on deaf ears. It is understood Gers DO want to hold on to the 24-year-old. Ibrox sources claim the delay is down to the fact they want to slash their ballooning wage bill before offering anyone improved terms. Yet that message hasnââ?¬â?¢t been relayed to Broadfoot or his agent. Callaghan said: ââ?¬Å?Weââ?¬â?¢ve made numerous attempts to speak to Rangers about Kirkââ?¬â?¢s future. But at this moment they arenââ?¬â?¢t prepared to talk about it. ââ?¬Å?There isnââ?¬â?¢t anyone who is more of a Rangers man than Kirk. ââ?¬Å?He dreams of winning things with the club and maybe even captaining them one day. I just hope he gets a chance to live out those dreams.ââ?¬Â Broadfoot penned a contract until May 2010 when he joined from St Mirren 18 months ago. But he has since established himself in the side and won three caps. It is believed he wants a deal on a par with some of Gersââ?¬â?¢ other established stars ââ?¬â? thought to be an increase of around Ã?£3,500 a week. SunSport revealed yesterday that a number of Gersââ?¬â?¢ fringe players will go next month. They could include Chris Burke, Steven Smith and Christian Dailly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 If it means getting rid of the dead wood and players who arent good enough then so be it. Adam isnt near good enough for our first team. midfielder is the latest star Star?? Broadfoot may be a decent squad player to hold onto but i wouldnt be giving him any bumper deal as suggested. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammy F Its true what you are saying we are in financial meltdown by the sound of things we need to get rid of 1/4 of the first team squad to finance any moves in January for any players most of it will be the dead wood which will be hardest to move on and we probably will get pennies for them all. With the sale of all things Rangers has Murray found a buyer for us and is getting rid of all he can to raise money for his retierment ? Ps. My girlfriend works in Woolies and looks to be out of a job by xmas not good. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
