Muff 245 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 After signing Kenny Miller this week, and with Andrius Velicka in Glasgow for a medical and contract talks, it seems that Walter Smith is now trying to strengthen his midfield. He has set his sights on Dundee United's Morgaro Gomis. He impressed Smith in two draws between the two clubs in March and the Rangers coach reckons he is well worth the price, which is expected to be around £1million. The 22 year-old signed a lucrative new two-year deal in September so Dundee can negotiate from a healthy position and will try to push for the full million. Last night United said there had been no offers for the player, but reports state that United coach Craig Levein is well aware of the interest from Ibrox. A healthy fee for Gomis would help fund Levein's own summer transfer activity, with the United boss keen to land £200,000-rated Willo Flood, who also excelled during a season-long loan, on a permanent deal from Cardiff City. United are also set to complete the signing of 19-year-old German striker Andis Shala from VFR Mannheim shortly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,782 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If we are talking about long term than Prince Bauben would be a better signing that Gomis. He was brought through the ranks at Ajax, but was only released due to not being able to get a work visa. It also means that he will know how to play football "the right way" He's two years younger than Gomis and he has already broke into a Ghana squad that boasts Essien, Muntari & Appiah among it's midfielders. Journalists have used words like imagination, craft and range of passing when talking about him too. Three things we badly need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,228 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am just surprised we didn't raid Gretna before they went out of business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 That will be why Smith has probably never noticed him. Gomis runs about like a headless chicken, cant pass and his positioning in the middle of the park at times is awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gers31 246 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 He will be an ok squad player for the spl as he already plays here but we need some better midfielders than him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Wait for this laugh!!! http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/output/2...11512759t0.shtm Tangerines stay calm Dundee United were today remaining calm and confident of holding on to their prized assets, despite Rangers being linked with not one but two of their best performers (writes Tom Duthie). A weekend report revealed the Ibrox side have been eyeing midfielder Morgaro Gomis and it is also understood Ibrox boss Walter Smith has been impressed by skipper Lee Wilkie form over the last year. There have, however, been no bids for either player and the Tangerines are confident both will be in their line up when the new season starts at Hamilton in just under two months. Indeed, boss Craig Levein was focusing on adding to his squad, not seeing it depleted by summer sales. The next 24 hours will see him fix up young German striker Andis Shala, who is due in Dundee later today and expected to complete his move from VfR Mannheim tomorrow morning. And Craig is making progress to adding others to a list of arrivals that already has the name of Dundee’s Scott Robertson on it.

Muff 245 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I wouldnt put it past Smith to try and sign Wilkie. He plays in the SPL He's Scottish He's injury prone He's shit He just lumps the ball up the park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
