Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Won't be anywhere near as good as the original. May as well wait for Anderson
Jamboelite Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 So any pics of Bill...... Hopefully we hear early this week on a couple of signings so they can have a few training sessions before Sunday and get to know their team mates.
Back to 2005 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 See Naismith scored 2 in a reserve game for Norwich yesterday. Sun saying he would prefer to go to huns though.
Beast Boy Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Can we change the brackets/tag to ‘(signing discussion only)’ please... or else it’ll be a very short thread with only four posters posting their info. I assume on topic discussion of potential new signings is still allowed?
Jambof3tornado Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Cant believe the sun claiming he wants to go to ibrox. BBC seem to claim similar. Wait til he signs for us and see what they claim then.
dazajmbo Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 New thread was needed. Back on topic at last.

MrBones Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 He might prefer Rangers but if they're signing Cummings i think it's unlikely
Sarah O Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Where's the old thread for those of us who liked the meandering rambles and updates on Billie? Also, where's that LA Galaxy proddy thread? Also Also, Hopefully today is Stevie Naismith day...
DH1986 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I doubt we’ll announce anymore signings until CL is back in town.
Pagey Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Pleased to be back on topic but missing the parallel universe I was in over the weekend on the old thread

jamie1874 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I had posted on the other thread a few bits of info I was told pre new year about his ideal situation - a move to Rangers for the last 18 months of contract with Rangers paying norwich approx £10k a week. However rangers were lukewarm on this and if interested it would be at best to end of season. However yesterday when asked about Naismith going to Hearts the response was ‘ haha wait and see’ I am hoping that is a positive move forward and the person doesn’t want to commit to giving me details. Either that or we are getting played to generate interest.

luckydug Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I am surprised that he is quoted as saying Rangers were his preferred choice. After all the abuse he received for walking away you would think he would give these mugs a wide berth. Hopefully he will decide you can't beat class.

Can you post a link with a copy and paste of the quote? I find it a bit surprising too. Please definitely add the copy and paste if it’s a link to The Sun or Record.

Always a little suspect given the way questions can be phrased, e.g. 'Steven, would you consider a move to the mighty glasgow rangers, who totally didn't die in 2012?' 'Aye' Headline: Naismith confirms interest in rangers return!

'Aye' Headline: Naismith confirms interest in rangers return! Yep. That’s why I wanted a look at what was actually a quote. Usually quite easy to determine what was said and in what context. Quite surprised if Naismith would be quoted saying his preferred destination is Ibrox when we are quite far down the road with a deal. Need to see the actual article.
Jambof3tornado Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Read a few online articles and struggle to see any that have him ibrox or killie bound. Fingers crossed he's sporting a maroon scarf by noon on wednesday at the latest!
...a bit disco Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Tuesday or Wednesday, eh? No point hanging around here then. Toodle pip.

DG_HMFC Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Slightly disappointing that we haven't significantly strengthened the squad by now. It's now Derby week and we are lagging behind again. Fingers crossed deals are close and players will be in by no later than Wed.

Probably with a “source close to the Norwich player” thrown in for good measure. Would like to see for myself though.

Two articles here as above just being straightforward answering questions 19 Dec Daily Express "a return to Rangers would appeal" https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/sport/football/894044/Rangers-news-Steven-Naismith-keen-to-return-to-Ibrox/amp 18 Dec The Sun https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1989896/steven-naismith-rangers-kilmarnock-norwich/
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Was it not the Daily Express this window last year that said Niall McGinn had told his Pittodrie team mates his heart was set on a move to Tynecastle? FWIW I don't doubt the boy would fancy a move to Rangers, he supported them, but he appears to be the consummate pro. I posted a link on the old thread, what his U23 manager said yesterday would be very encouraging. The young lads benefit and respond well to having him in there. I don't particularly want a loan, I think this guy is a real role model, like Cowie, like Hughes and the type of person that can bring this club forward. The paper talk rubbish will be forgotten in a week. I believe this is a critical one for us, I really do, not just in terms of quality but leadership.

As you said he was pretty much asked questions about specifically Rangers. Back to quite relaxed about it all now.

Yeah Don't need him either including the players they are linked to Behind Windass, Dorrans for a place then there is Murphy, even O'Halloran, Cummings can play similar position plus Jordan Jones now.
Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 So will this this be a loan signing???

Have I missed where we started paying credence to the op's wishes? Naismith has been reading this and just txtd me pics of Miss Piper with a message of "Mon the famous". I'd really love this transfer to happen. Slot straight in to Walkers role.

Jodami Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 If Rangers were in any way looking to sign him I would have thought it would be all over today's papers, they tend to do their business in public to keep the unwashed on side. Between us and Kilmarnock I think, just hope the head rules the heart.
kingantti1874 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 If this is going to happen it needs to happen soon.. Hopefully we have another plan B.. As I think first plan B was maclaren
