portobellojambo1 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 If the current buns come in for CB then Vlad should put in a 150k bid for Ferguson. Is he not a tad on the short side for a centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1874M Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Is he not a tad on the short side for a centre half. He could wave his crutches in the air to give him extra reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drylaw Hearts Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 An incredible figure.... especially when you consider that have all been bought... not ones come through their yoofs. I hear that several of their Youth players that were on the fringes of the First Team last Season are looking for a move. What chance does a lad have when he has 9 strikers in front him ? They are looking at Ross McCormack as an example of what they could possibly achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjc2006 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 This is an excellent piece of news. I think this was on the cards before Rangers were knocked out of europe(maybe not to Villa) hence the reason he didnt play in the game at Kaunas, I wouldn't be surprised if this was held off till this week to make sure that it wasnt before Rangers AGM, which was last friday I believe. I don't think Smith will see any of the money for replacements which can only be good for us this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrie Jambo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I will guarantee there will be some sort of hint from Rangers or the Scottish Mafia (media) that they are going to buy one of our players this week. Vlad should beat them to it and offer them Berra for a straight swop with KRIS BOYD: - they get rid of one of their 9 forwards - the huns will be up in arms - we get a centre forward who who score at least 15 goals a season - they get a replacement centre half - if we are ambitious we then replace him with a new captain Russell Anderson, Mark Reynolds or Alan Stubbs - or Potter at St Mirren as the cheaper option Lets go in and stir some sh*t with weedgies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future's Maroon Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 So the first SPL weekends round of fixtures is over..... Hibs lose at Killie Talk of revolt at Easter Road dressing room Celtic perform badly and scrap 1-0 win - from a penalty that wasn't? Aberdeen lose at home to ICT Rangers fortunate to win against Falkirk Rangers (probably) best player Cuellar leaves - rejecting new Gers deal to do so. Their saviour crocked, Boyd to Germany, their keeper linked with exit and fans calling for Walter Smith's head. Carlsberg don't do weekends, but if they did....they'd be a Jambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you thought your post through. I have been thinking about it for some time - Boyd scores goals and Berra is an ordinary centre half and is no leader of men. As I said Iwould buy a captain or make Stewart captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigaro Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 why has the sum been negotiated in euros when the transfer is between 2 british teams?

DETTY29 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I don't think that would matter all that much, Paul Hartley after all was prepared to go to Rangers before Celtic put in a bid at the last minute. Maybe so but, Vlad made it obvious all along that he wanted over a mill for Hartley. Their offers were ?600k; ?750k; ?900k; ?1.1m Wolves publicly offer ?1.5m for Berra, which Hearts turn down - Rangers then come in with a bid of ?1m. Rangers (reportedly) verbally offer *****hu a contract and Watford agree a price. *****hu claims Rangers then renage on deal and offer much less. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones but, you would be off your head to consider Rangers just now, especially as they have previous in treating players signed from Scottish clubs like cr@p. Add on top your chancesof getting a serious knee injury increase when you move to Greyskull. Best advice for Berra would be to keep his head down at Tynie (and improve), keep his Scotland squad place, work on an improved Tynie deal with a circa ?3m get out clause. Don't Celtic only have 2/3 centre halfs just now (one of whom is Caldwell the Clown) although with McManus being captain and left fooded, Berras options would be limited. EPL or Championship is by far a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeno Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 why has the sum been negotiated in euros when the transfer is between 2 british teams? 10 million euros is a bigger figure than 7.4 million pounds for when the journos beef up there red top rag tag lines.

bighusref Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think if they are going to sign anyone it will be a midfielder. Don't think they need anymore defenders for spl football. Agreed. I would go so far as to suggest that Bougherra was signed to replace Cuellar. I'd wager that he was set to leave the club anyway and that R@ng*rs were banking on that money to strengthen their midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with all you say above however I dont think the they took into account getting pumped out of Europe by Vlads wee team. Plan B,C,D and maybee E from Mr Murray.

Not questioning you buddy, but I don't see that as being right. I think the guy that told you that has got his wires crossed. Can you imagine a scenario like this. RP = "Hi David, It is Rick Parry from Liverpool, we are interested in Carlos Cuellar." SDM = "Hi Rick, of course you are interested he is a very good defender. He is away speaking to Aston Villa right now." RP = "Okay, we will match the minimum required fee on his contract, and would like to speak to him once he has finished in Birmingham." SDM = "Ah, but Rick, there are a lot of teams interested, do you want to pay a little more?" RP = "Actually David, since you asked so nicely, we can chuck a few million on top of that, will that guarantee us his signature?" SDM = "No, it won't. As part of his contract we have to let him go if someone bids that much" RP = "Okay then, we will just bid more as we like you very much, and want you to get a lot of money from us." Not a chance in hell. ANY prospective club will know, like us, that the agreed fee is a price that R@ng*rs cannot raise, it is in Cuellar's contract, and will not bid a dime more than that, why should they?

No club will go above the clause. The only person who would beneift from a bidding war is Cueller himself as he can make more candy floss. Sorry, Chester - but I think your Rangers source has been at the cooking sherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
