davie_bluenose 20 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Fulham want cash deal for Davis Rangers will no longer be able to use Daniel Cousin to part-finance the signing of Fulham's Steven Davis. Davis' agent, Rob Segal, claims the London club have ended their interest in the powerful Gabon striker. The effect on Rangers is that they must now table a cash-only offer for the Northern Irishman to keep him at Ibrox. Davis arrived from Craven Cottage on loan in January and is interested in a permanent move north, but could opt to fight for regular football at Fulham. Segal said: "There is a certain amount of urgency now because I think Rangers are back in training in a few weeks and Steven definitely wants it concluded. "The clubs are in conversation to see if they can come to an agreement. Hopefully we are heading in the right direction." MY SPORT: DEBATE Can Rangers afford to sign Steven Davis from Fulham? The midfielder had a successful four months at the end of last season and produced some excellent performances in Rangers' Uefa Cup run, particularly against Sporting Lisbon in the quarter-final second-leg tie. His tenacity, stamina and clever use of the ball will have impressed Walter Smith. Now the Rangers manager must decide if he can afford to spend a large chunk of his transfer budget on a single player. Smith's decision would be aided, of course, if the Ibrox club could find another team interested in Cousin, who has made it clear his desire to play in the Premier League in England. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/7455445.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Counts us out then Cousin will be sold for £1.5million, and we will be told Davis is a too expensive option. Julien Brellier or someone will be bought instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has a clue (apart from yourself) how much money we have.

Do you think SDM will let WS spend anywere near 20million again this season not a chance. Big money signings, need big money wages. Davis for Four million would be the biggest and best we'll get if, if he does come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never spent £20 million last season. I wager you are taking your dislike of Murray and trying to turn it into something personal between himself and Rangers. To try and convince yourself that he doesn't like Rangers so wont give them any money. Why not wait and see mate?? At the end of the transfer window, if we have spent upwards of 12-15 million will you be willing to put your hands up and admit you were wrong?? Or will will you defend your stance by trying to justify it with something else you see as a wrong from Murray?? I wont say Murray is the best chairman. He does a lot wrong. But I am almost sure he does in the knowledge that he believes he is doing good and it just dosn't come off. We all make mistakes. To err is only human. But he does do a lot wrong. I still don't think you can call 2 million the bulk of our transfer kitty just because you don't believe he will give WS any more than that, or just slightly more.

My thoughts exactly. Good point. The fact is that Davis faded badly after a great start. If WS wants to play him as a right winger we should NOT buy him. We need a proper RW and some class in midfield. Real class we do not have now. We will likely get that DU kid! D Cousin will still be with us as no one will want that nutter after his stupidity last season vs Fiorentina and DU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To rebuild a squad. Unless players are sold, we wont go anywere near that. £8million at most, is what I think we will spend. Im not saying thats what we are going to, but people who think were going to spend upto £20million, do you really think murray would spend £34million on new players within 12 months. Not a hope, we simply dont have the money, but people say the uefa cup run. we have just taken out a loan of £22million, so im pretty sure, again not 100%, some of the money will be put aside to cover that. The Hutton transfer, was meant to go straight back into the team, but that and the champions league money covered our signings last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Wonder if we're struggling to offload Cousin? I don't think we will. I reckon a mid-table English side would take a gamble on him. There is a quality player behind that attitude problem of his, and you just need to look at the likes of Anelka to see that clubs are willing to take the chance. Speaking of Anelka, another thing he has in common with him is his agent - a Mr William McKay. A complete twat of a man, but incredibly good at his job. For those reasons, I think we will get our £3m fee for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
