King Beattie's on the ball :beattie: :beattie: :beattie:

Injury ridden, money chasing piece of shite that is well past it... and I follow Liverpool too

Tbh I think the 4mil would be better spent elsewhere now we have Beattie, would still like to see Jelavic here though

If you ignore all The Sun's pish and just read his quote's he's said all the right things. Talks a good game and I'm confident he'll do well on the park too :beattie:

JAMES BEATTIE swept into Rangers last night and boldly vowed to replace Kris Boyd. Beattie, 32, became Walter Smith's first signing in TWO YEARS. The hitman arrived in a £1million deal from Stoke. And asked if he could score the goals Boyd did for Rangers, Beattie said: "Yeah, I think so. "I have always been confident in my ability. We'll need to see, but I believe I can do that. "People will always make comparisons between strikers and this won't be any different. "I could sit here and say the hunger to score goals and do well is still there, which I know it is. "But I need to show that out on the pitch - actions speak louder than words." Asked what Gers fans can expect from him, Beattie added: "Hopefully goals. A big part of my game is working hard and making sure defenders don't get time to settle on the ball. "I also think my aerial threat is very good, if I do say so myself. "But as an older player, I've learned how to create space for myself and for others. Hopefully I can do that here." Beattie, frozen out at Stoke after a bust-up with gaffer Tony Pulis, has signed a two-year deal, with the option of a further 12 months. He is set to make his debut against Kilmarnock at Ibrox today and said: "The expectations and demands were outlined by the gaffer when he talked to me. That's something I relish and I look forward to it very much. Being a striker and a goalscorer, there is always pressure on you to produce the goods and there is no better stage than this. "It's the biggest club in Scotland and one of the biggest clubs in Europe." Beattie admits he jumped at the chance of moving to Rangers, with the lure of the Champions League a massive attraction. He said: "It's a fantastic opportunity. "Obviously we don't know who we'll be playing yet, but I'm looking forward to it. "It will be my first time in the Champions League and I'll look upon it as something very special in my career. "One of the things the gaffer told me was that the Old Firm game is just crazy. "As a player it's one of the games you want to play in and I'm looking forward to it. "I'm thrilled to be here. I've signed a two-year deal with a year option. "The incentive is there for me. If I play 30 games in the second season I get an extra year and I'll be looking to do that."

Beattie and Miller, sounds good to me

Beattie!

Great news

Well Walter hasn't really done that apart from Rothen keep the faith

Don't listen to The Sunm they report on every possible scenario on alternative days so that at least one is right to have their "We told you first" when one happens, spouting pish to sell papers

Looks like two strikers, gimme a winger and a back up left back and I think we have a good wee squad

Go on Super Lee

:praise:

If we get Beattie and not Jelavic I'll expect a few million to go on a winger and a left back tbh

I did journalism and did work experience at a certain Scottish redtop, unless you watch a video confirming it, or its in quotations then nothing is anywhere near true, and even them some of that can be manipulated Walters interview on SSN earlier is probably the most accurate thing we can run on, we just have to hope the Jelavic reports are true and its still alive too

Thats why Boydy got slated I know what he meant now but it should have been called Transfer Thread or something, otherwise it is just another pile of Jelavic comments

Tbh its only about knowing what they have, even when they've brought in the mighty Robbie Keane or Craig Bellamy, Roy Keane and the likes, no one has been scared. The only thing to fear is the unknown, but we've seen them get shagged off Braga and even if Bellamy comes in what we have is better, no worries here. WATP

COuldn't this have went in one of the many Beattie threads? :S But yeah, good bit of business I'd say, long as the wages aint huge

Oh I'm sorry, my mistake, the fact this thread was titled Jelavic, made me think it was about Jelavic

Surely creating a new thread on the same subject is even more pointless

Rik Waller could pass our medicals ffs

Don't see why people keep mentioning Jeffers, he was shite before we got him, Beattie is a different calibre of player

Well it still sounds promising Lets hope this doesn't get to 300 pages

Hopefully won't be too long before we see players of the quality that Laudrup and Albertz were in the blue again

£4.2 million... wow, would have never thought we had that to spend!
