savenosouls 97 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Anyone know anything about this in today's herald? 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 friendly 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 season-long loan to satisfy the Republic of Ireland internationalist'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 Rangers in the Emirates Cup where the sides met last month. Rothen had been ostracised from the first team squad by the PSG manager, Toni Kombouare, after publicly criticising 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 Bayern 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 Netherlands 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...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 RANGERS were last night on the brink of signing French internationalist Jerome Rothen. The Ibrox club and Paris Saint Germain have agreed a year-long loan and Rangers are confident of beating tonight's 5pm transfer deadline. Walter Smith moved quickly as soon as he heard the 31-year-old left winger's move to Schalke had fallen through yesterday. Rothen was supposed to sign a three-year deal from which PSG would get 2million euros. But the deal collapsed and the French club contacted Rangers' chief executive Martin Bain, who had forged contacts with PSG when they met during the close-season tournament at the Emirates. One or two details have still to be finalised with the player whose star is on the wane but heseesamove toRangersand ChampionsLeaguefootballas awaytore-ignite hiscareer. While with Monaco he was tipped for a glittering career but over the last couple of seasons his boyhood dream of playing with PSG has soured. He was a member of the French squad in Euro 2004 and although he was left out for a spell he regained his place for Euro 2008. Regarded as a dead-ball expert he could be the answer to Smith's prayers. The manager has been searching for a left-sided player and if Rothen can rediscover his finest form both Rangers and he could benefit greatly. Rothen reached the Champions League final with Monaco five years ago and although PSG's head coach Antoine Kombouare believes it is best if the player moves on he says he wouldn't be too upset if he stayed on and tried again in Paris. But that isn't going to happen and although a few English clubs and St Etienne have been monitoring his situation it looks as though he will be at Ibrox for the next year. And that, of course, should please Rangers fans who have been disappointed by the club's lack of action on the transfer front. http://www.<No links to this website>/football/spl/...86908-21639164/ More evidence.
