the goal machine 7,995 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 RANGERS are preparing a bid for Hamilton kid James McArthur. SunSport revealed the Ibrox club were keeping tabs on the midfielder last season. Now Walter Smith will make an offer as he looks to replace skipper Barry Ferguson. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/ho...s-want-Mac.html We're actually linked with a player Not much info though.

Scott-RFC 308 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 No point in paying over the odds for average SPL players Then again sadly McArthur will have been one of the best players Walter seen last season outside Rangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottonRunt 1,026 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 i would be quite happy if we got him, so long as we dont pay over the odds for him. surely a centre back is the priority tho! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,844 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hamilton, in no position to need to sell players, will ask over the odds for an average run of the mill SPL player that we simply DO NOT NEED Hopefully just more media bull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 If we sell Charlie, then yes. But I think Charlie is a better all round player than McArthur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordov 17 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 It's on the Sun website that we're preparing a bid for the Hamilton player. Personally i think he's not bad but would prefer to see Shinnie and Emslie getting his game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRICKY1872 118 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Rangers? Bid for a player this season? With our reputation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanRfc 1 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I think we could be doing with a player like him as cover. If adam goes thats the cover gone because McCulloch i think will be used as a defender next year and the only other three CM's are Thomson, Edu and Mendes (first team ones anyways) and if one of them get injured then who? and he is young and could be great in a few years so IF we get him cheap then i would be delighted .Just my opinion remember.

ClintonGrey 365 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 So we are going to sign a player that our fans probably wont like, when we have no spare cash, for a position we already have many quality players in? No chance, unless Walter has been on the sauce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

radlord 24 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Signing players as 'backup' is the reason we all talk about shedding 'dead wood' every close season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewy 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 he was one of the stand outs in the Hamilton team last year but i highly doubt he will be coming to rangers. We already have top quality and quantity in that position so cant see it tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemeanie6 3 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 If furman couldn't get a game, this guy certainly won't and i could never see him moving just to rot in the reserves or sit on the bench week in week out, no chance will this happen.

We already have top quality and quantity in that position so cant see it tbh. Exactly, the only reason we would foray into the transfer market is if we could find a LM or CB on a bosman and could afford his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
