Jamboelite 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon of Symmetry Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) 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? Edited January 15, 2018 by Ryder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamie1874 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luckydug 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.

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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'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.

DG_HMFC 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.

Sir Gio 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.

Jodami Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) 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.
