Goncalves was on pretty high wages at Hearts!

He supposedly turned down 16 k a week to sign a new contract at least that is the figure I have heard mentioned a few times.

Kirk Broadfoot is a more reliable defender/player on less wages!

RANGERS are poised to ditch their interest in former Hearts defender Jose Goncalves.

The Portuguese player, who quit Tynecastle last month at the end of his contract, has surprised the Ibrox club with his wage demands.

Goncalves is reported to be looking for a take-home wage of £18,000 per week after tax. That would mean Rangers

paying a gross wage of £29,000 per week for the 24-year-old – too much for the SPL champions as they attempt to operate within a strict budget.

Manager Walter Smith expects teenager Danny Wilson to leave Ibrox with Liverpool believed to be ready to pay £2.5million rising to £4m after appearances.

Madjid Bougherra has also attracted attention with his displays for Algeria in the World Cup Finals, particularly his performance against England in the goalless draw on Friday.

Smith has been searching for replacements and the versatile Goncalves was on his radar.

He was on £12k at hearts..? No asking much is he..?

Why's everyone believing the papers about this but never about anything else?

[mark_ni 12]

i have to say i would have taken him for cover, but squad players dont get £29k a week at rangers. Star players dont even get that ffs. he can gtf

Hope we miss out on him then

He'll do a job as a squad player. I assume he'll come as that and if he proves himself on the park may develop into pushing for a starting place. Coming to Rangers will be the high point of his career, so we'll be getting a boy who will give us his 110%.
