WaltersGotStyle 160 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 RANGERS target Jose Goncalves has angrily denied pricing himself out of a Bosman move to Ibrox.The Portuguese defender is livid at reports he has demanded £29,000 a week from Rangers, around £18,000 after tax.Goncalves, 24, is in the Far East on holiday, but insists he is not holding the cash-strapped SPL champs to ransom.A friend said: "It's ridiculous to suggest Jose is looking for this type of money, crazy."He knows his worth but also understands the financial position of Rangers at this moment of time. The figures mentioned are well wide of the mark."The advisors of the former Hearts defender held talks with Rangers officials late last week and will continue in the days ahead.Goncalves will jet back from his holiday base to his home in Switzerland next week and is preparing to fly straight on to Glasgow if a deal can be struck.The ex-FC Thun fullback has attracted interest from clubs throughout the continent and also England but has made no secret of how much he enjoys life in Scotland.He is also rated highly by Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz and his versatility on the left side of defence is seen as an asset by Rangers, with Danny Wilson tipped to quit the club before the new season to sign for Liverpool.Meanwhile, Kirk Broadfoot has penned a new, three-year deal to stay with Rangers .And Record Sport, who broke the story, understand the cash-strapped Ibrox club have held on to the defender by paying better wages than newly-promoted Blackpool could afford.The Lancashire club wanted to have Broadfoot when they debut in the Premier League next season.But Rangers boss Walter Smith could be faced with the prospect of losing teenage starlet Wilson and Algeria's World Cup hero Madjid Bougherra during the close season.Broadfoot went to Murray Park last night and signed the deal that keeps him at the club he supports.Rangers have fixed him up on the kind of money that suggests he's there to be a first-team player.My link Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 There is a fair chance that he actually said this himself, and just asked for it to be put under the 'said by a friend' thing.I've had that when interviewing before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaltersGotStyle 160 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 A friend of a friend of a friend who once spoke to Jose in Halfords told us that he is not demanding £29,000 that we inaccurately reported....Non story to fill the pages... but thought I would post for peoples opinions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 He's got pace, that's is. He's no better than Steven Smith in the fullback position, and he's a disaster in the middle. A defender who cannot header a ball, gets caught out of position, prone to making errors and injury-prone... I've said it before, and a number of Jambos are in agreement, Kirk Broadfoot is a better all round defender than Jose Goncalves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy WATP 86 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yeah, but surely, aside from getting injured, all of these things can be worked upon? I genuinely believe that he could make it here; this would be his first real big shot as a professional, and I can see him taking it with both hands.Yep, the fact is we hardly look like we're gonna spend big money this year so lets look at getting a few of the more adapted SPL players with the potential to become a good player for us. I'm all for looking abroad as well but right now i feel this is an opportunity we shouldnt be turning down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
