The Comedian Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 He will easily score 25+ goals a season for them. Nice piece of business there by the club. Meanwhile we still have he haw up front. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 He'll be getting splinters in his @rse then. Not so sure. Think Rangers will affload a few names with Miller arriving as well. May not play every game for Rangers next year, but he will play his share - and no doubt prove VERY good value for money. Good signing for the forces of darkness.

Sconnie Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'd rather have Kris Boyd in my team than Andrius Velicka. They all say Boyd has nothing else to his game than scoring goals, same could be said for Velicka, no? I'd just love to see Romanov's mug when he hears the news.

StrikersInstinct Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Translation from the article: ?We have had a good chat with Martin Bain, Rangers sporting director, and there is a good chance we will reach an agreement,? said Egil ?stenstad, Vikings sporting director. Rangers today signed Kenny Miller but have also been trailing Velicka at the same time. The parties are close to agreement and Velicka has had a clear indication that he can go to Glasgow to discuss personal terms. The 29-year old travels to Scotland in the next few days and will undergo a medical and discuss personal terms. ?We see this as the last chance for a player at this age to play at the highest. He has the chance to join one the best clubs in Europe and will in addition earn considerably higher wages,? said ?stenstad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Good signing for them. Boyd is now sick of the sub striker role and Cousin will go. Velicka will cost less than both will sell for (if that makes sense) and will be a good "bench option" for Smith. Comes on and scores, everything a striker needs to be. I have to admit I am quite chuffed for the lad, always gave a lot for us and was better for us than many would admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Velicka is a better player with a similar scoring ration to Boyd who is damn near a man down when the ball is anywhere on the park apart from the pen box...

Rangers will take in a hell of a lot more money for Boyd than they paid for Handy Andy. Money that is crucial for the re-building of their squad. The midfield needs a SERIOUS playmaker. This will free funds for just that. Good moves from Rangers today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Was speaking to a Rangers fans at work today, and he was asking me about Velicka. I said the system we played didn't suit him as he is an out and out striker rather than a target man within a 4-5-1 formation. I said to him I would imagine he will score goals for you, with the right service provided up front. His reply was "feck, if he cannot play in a 4-5-1 formation for you there is no way he will score goals for us, we are a strictly 4-6-0 these days".

You make a good point, I never thought of the fee for Boyd. It's a good bit of business for Rangers, what do you think Romanov's reaction will be like? Velicka to Rangers, Cousin to Fulham, Boyd to Birmingham. Can see it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints came in for him and he went there. Some of the younger posters will remember him at Rangers as a shadow of his former self. Its worth noting that in the mid'late 90's he was a VERY decent Premiership striker. Went for a shed load of money to Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for a shed load of money to Blackburn. The gen (as I remembered it) was that Hearts and JJ wanted him. His contract was about to run out and Hearts had tentatively struck a deal, but EO was unhappy at the club that had reared him and had looked after him so well was to get nothing. He signed a new deal and we could not afford to buy him. Souness and Southampton weighed in with ?900,000. A lesson that many like Webster could have done with learning. ***EDIT*** meant to say, only a matter of days passed after the signing of the Viking deal and the signing for Southampton.

Bindy Badgy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I would hurt like hell to see him turn out for Them. I was planning on getting his name on next season's kit:( Having said that I wouldn't begrudge him the move. If I was in his position I would go. If you does go he'll get a respectful silence from me. I won't boo him. Tbh, it probably already has. Wasn't part of our "fee" we recieved depending on him scoring so many for Viking? I think it was based on appearances but the end result is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest u01dg3 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Never really rated Velicka that much. Was good enough during his last season, but missed many more chances than he scored. Surprised Rangers are signing him, think Watty Smith's days will be numbered if he keeps up with the quality of signings he is currently making. Velicka has scored 5 in 13 for Viking this year. Not a brilliant goals to game ratio. We'll see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I have yet to be convinced by Cousin Spellczech I would tend to agree, a striking combination of Cousin/Darcheville and Boyd does have more appeal than Miller and Velicka.
