TexasGers 96 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Walter Smith tracks American internationalist Stuart Holden Thomas Jordan 0 comments Published on 20 Nov 2009 Walter Smith has identified Stuart Holden, the ÂAmerican internationalist, as his primary transfer target should he find himself in a position to add to his squad during the January transfer window. The financial situation at the club dictates that no new players will be arriving at Ibrox until a takeover has been completed. It is understood there are a number of parties still interested in gaining control of the SPL champions. In the meantime, Smith has to continue to work away behind the scenes in case he should find himself in a position to move into the transfer market and is already well down the line in his pursuit of the 24-year-old Dynamo Houston midfielder. The Herald understands Rangers have watched Holden twice recently, with chief scout Ewan Chester 
running the rule over the Âplayer as the USA went down 3-1 in a friendly earlier this week. Maurice Johnston, the former Scotland and Old Firm striker, is believed to have Ârecommended Holden to Rangers’ assistant manager Ally McCoist after notifying him of his availability on a free transfer. Johnston also put the Ibrox club on the trail of Maurice Edu initially and the Âmidfielder eventually moved from Toronto FC in a £2.5m transfer at the beginning of last season. Aberdeen-born Holden, who emigrated with his Âparents when he was 10, has won 10 caps for the US, scoring two goals in the process. His contract is set to expire at the end of next month and a host of clubs are thought to be monitoring his progress. After two previous failed ventures at Sunderland and Newcastle as a teenager, Holden is thought to harbour ambitions of trying his luck outside of America. It is believed he has also spoken at length with Edu regarding life in Glasgow and playing for Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 As I said on the other thread, this would be a great signing, as I think Holden has the best delivery outside Beckham, Donovan, Blanco, and Schelotto in MLS. Can play centrally or on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOLUWDC 1 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Wouldn't be a bad signing, especially if we have to sell some players in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-RFC 308 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 He can play on the right? is he another slow technical winger, because they dont go down very well up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 He can play on the right? is he another slow technical winger, because they dont go down very well up here. He's not a burner, but he can go up and down the flank all match and not be winded. Definitely faster than Rothen and Naismith I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juno 2 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 His accent is brilliant! I remember seeing an interview with him around confed cup time and it's completely yank with just a hint of chookter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H72 265 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Now, would he really hold out for big wages? I mean the MLS have that wage cap thing going on do they not? So I don't think he'd be too greedy, mind you, modern day footballers... He looks a very good player though. I've seen him on a few of the USA's matches and he played well. With the draw of Edu & Beasley already here, he'd certainly consider it I would think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lando 249 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I've seen Stuart play on TV a couple of times, and what impresses me about him is his speed. He has that pace and is quite intelligent while playing on the pitch. He would be an asset to the Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
