cooper1989 0 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 What gets me is Walter's quick 'NO' when asked about incoming players. Too quick I reckon. No one gets anything out of Walter.. but... his forceful 'NO" means yes to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimenez 1 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/ra...-deal-1.825579# RANGERS were last night on the verge of completing a season-long loan deal for the experienced Paris Saint-Germain winger, Jerome Rothen. Martin Bain, the Rangers chief executive, and the manager, Walter Smith moved quickly to open negotiations with the 31-year-old France internationalist after his proposed transfer to Schalke ’04 collapsed well into the final 24 hours of the transfer window. The Herald understands that Celtic – Rothen had been offered to them too by his representatives – are also working hard to strengthen their squad before tonight’s 5pm deadline. Tony Mowbray did not fly to Canada with the team for their midweek Âfriendly against Benfica in Toronto and was instead exploring various signing options with his chief executive, Peter Lawwell. If successful, Chris Killen will be allowed to join either Swansea City or Doncaster Rovers on loan. The Herald understands that Darren O’Dea will be offered a three-year contract extension and will reluctantly be allowed to join either Reading or Ipswich Town on a Âseason-long loan to satisfy the Republic of Ireland interÂnationalist’s craving for regular first-team football. Rangers’ first piece of transfer activity this summer was the most significant and unexpected development ahead of this afternoon’s transfer window’s closure. He had been watched closely by RanÂgers in the Emirates Cup where the sides met last month. Rothen had been Âostracised from the first team squad by the PSG manager, Toni KomÂbouare, after publicly criticisÂing the club. He had been linked with a £2m move to Blackburn Rovers and Saint-Etienne but Schalke ’04 emerged as favourites to sign him over the weekend. They pulled out a deal because of a lack of funds after a move for their full-back Rafinha to ÂBayern Munich fell through. Rothen is expected to fly to Glasgow today to undergo a medical and complete the terms of the loan arrangement. He played alongside the former Rangers striker, Dado Prso, in the 2004 final for Monaco, which they lost 3-0 to Jose Mourinho’s Porto in the AufSchalke Arena. He has won 26 caps for France and is a dead-ball specialist. The signing of Rothen is the first piece of business conducted by Bain since the chairman, Sir David Murray, stood down. His arrival is almost certain to spell the end for DaMarcus Beasley. The American has been told he will not be a prominent part of the title defence and is keen to leave to ensure his readiness for next year’s World Cup. His agent, Lyle Yorks, has cultivated interest from Spain, Greece and the NetherÂlands but, as yet, Rangers have not received any firm offers. Olympiakos had been linked with a move after failing in their attempts to sign Morten Gamst Pedersen from Blackburn but the transfer window in Greece closed last night without Beasley moving. FC Twente, managed by the former England coach, Steve McClaren, are understood to be considering a move for the former PSV Eindhoven man. The Herald understands Rangers had pondered a loan move for Real Madrid’s Dutch under-21 winger, Royston Drenthe, but were frightened off by his salary demands. Reports that they had been offered the Arsenal wunderkind, Jack Wilshere, are also wide of the mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
