Sexton Hardcastle Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 According to EEN this morning... RANGERS are looking to snatch Hearts left back Lee Wallace it was reported this morning. The Glasgow side have reportedly been watching the 20-year-old this season but Hearts are unlikely to let him go for less than a seven-figure sum. http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/9am-Sport-Briefing-Rangers-eye.4101340.jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Great, I'd gladly cash in on him. Personally, I feel we could bring in better players at LB, and for a cut price. Its not a glamerous position, and in effect, not on that takes a high price to fill. Good chance to make some profit and bring in someone just as good, who doesnt list "Drive-Bys" as his pre match activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Seven figure sum? Thats exactly what I'm thinking! We should get the seven figure sum for Wallace (only one winner there imo) and also get the seven figure sum we supposedly want for Goncalves, and put the 2 seven figure sums together, and buy a decent flipping left back for a change!

To be honest though,I was told a few months back from a guy who drinks with my old man that LWs dad told him that Rangers were very interested and that a bid was going to be made. There could be a case for tapping up "if" they didn't speak to Hearts first,something I doubt Rangers would do to Hearts knowing what Vlad is like or it could be crap.

Dr. Bapswent Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 http://sport.scotsman.com/football/No-bids-from-Rangers-for.4104134.jp By BARRY ANDERSON LEE WALLACE'S agent stressed today stressed that Rangers have yet to submit any offers for the Hearts defender. Reacting to morning reports that Walter Smith is considering moving for the 20-year-old, Gary Mackay stated that he would have been informed of any bids. "My relationship with Hearts is such that, during previous meetings, they have always made me aware of any offers for my players," he said. "Given that I haven't heard from them regarding Lee, I can safely assume there have been no bids." Rangers have previously made Hearts aware of their interest in Wallace with Smith keen to recruit a specialist left-back. The Scotland under-21 international was restricted to a peripheral role at Tynecastle last season with Jose Goncalves often deployed ahead of him at left-back. Hearts would be reluctant to sell their youth academy product, whose current contract runs until 2011. Meanwhile, Larry Kingston has been named in Ghana's squad for an international friendly with Australia on Friday. The Hearts midfielder is part of an 18-man party for the match in Sydney. So he isnt going, its been denied....oh wait....does that mean he is? I mean we are getting McGhee because he said he wasnt coming.... Im all confuddled. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goncalves is a better defender, not player/footballer. Lee Wallace has shown no signs of improvement in three years. If Rangers offer anywhere near a 7-figure sum I think we should bite their hand off. Get rid of Goncalves as well then bring in a veteran to play until either Matej Rapnik or Jonny Brown are ready.

frankblack Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I don't rate either Goncalves or Wallace. Wallace at full-back is a liability and gets caught out of position all the time, often leading to goals against us. Goncalves gets caught drifting inside but has the pace to recover from his errors (and he makes plenty). I can only think of about 1 goal that was clearly Goncalves' fault - Aberdeen at Tynie in the 4-1 win. Wallace has cost us several goals this season when at full back. We have tried Wallace in midfield but he hasn't made any difference, so I would be looking at bringing in a replacement for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you mate he is honking,Where I sat it was very close to the touchline and I watched him at close quarters,man he is fecking rank,every time the ball came near him you cloud see he didn't have a clue whether to head it, kick it, trap it or what ever,he shet himself every time,usually what ever he done was the wrong option,utter crap so he is. As you say it was only the fact that he has pace that got him out off some holes but stick a winger beside him and he panics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sconnie Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 He always seem's to perform when away with Scotland but never when he's here. I'd probably take Gow though, he's a proven goal scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makween Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 A seven figure sum for Wallace? He's hardly improved since he was playing under Robbo in early 2005 (albeit partly down to not getting a regular game when he maybe should've been), we should bite their hand off if they offer us that. Not that I'm saying that I think it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawrrrrrrr Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Seeing the papers today and his links with the huns have to say I would be pretty dissapointed if we let him go, never mind to a league rival Wallace is imo one of the best young players this country has, he is still only 20/1 and is a proven top level LB There has been a lot of debate which says he isnt good enough for LB but frankly this is a load of pish Before this season he had never let us down and had coped against some very very good players, this season hasnt been his best, Im sure even he would agree but for me this isnt because the ability isnt there, and if it was my choice he would have played week in week out at LB The decision - a totally ridicolous and unethical one- to drop him to put Jose in the shop window has done him serious harm I am fully of the opinion that we should restore him to LB week in week out were it will pay dividends for all involved and I reckon he would go on within 18 months to establish himself not only as our natural LB but also that of scotland. Any decision to sell him for me would be totally disgraceful and would be us selling our best young prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Lee Wallace was origionally a left midfielder but couldn't cross the ball without it going out for a goalkick or opposition goalies picking it out the air as it rarely hit it's target, that's why he was moved to leftback, if Rangers want to offer a 7 figure sum, rip it from their hands, as for Goncalves, he's a leftsided central defender who gets played out of position, hence the reason he's always getting caught way too near Berra around the box when defending, leaving so much room for any decent rightsided player to cross the ball in with ease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 You either have severe memory loss or you are a part-time supporter There is no doubt both are gash, but Wallace is almost always going to cost a goal a game when he plays left back. In midfield he hasn't got the creativity or pace to open up defences. As others have said he hasn't improved in 3 years, so is not good enough. Bambi is much better defensively than Wallace, even though he manufactures an error out of nothing half the time. He is I repeat, still gash.
