Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 -Eagles-Davis-McCullochEdu-Conway-Sounds a lot more positive than what we were expecting, but if Sunderland and Bolton are after him they would be able to pay Eagles a lot more in wages than what we can!I don't like quotes from an insider without names being mentioned, but are fans views of KT now going to be changed about selling him or not? Apparently (if that report is true) he was wanting more than our wage cap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Id be astonished if Eagles was currently on less than £17K a week, our apparent wage ceiling.The article says he has had to take a substantial pay cut due to relegation, Burnley aren't exactly a huge club and their wage structure especially for the Championship might be less than ours.

Amac9 2,060 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Eagles is a very good player but I can't see us signing him.Losing more of our top players does not stand us in good stead for the new season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 A Rangers insider revealed: “Thomson was entering the final year of his contract and the money he was looking for to commit to a new contract was more than Rangers could offer him so it made sense to sell him. “Plus, the manager is pretty well off for midfielders who can play in the middle of the park and if this now allows him to land someone like Eagles, who started off at Manchester United and has played in the English Premier League, then it is good business.”Who is this Rangers insider?

Papa Sasac 164 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I would be very happy with this signing. However, what does he choose: the chance to win titles and play in Europe, or play for relegation candidates in Bolton for more money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandhisflip 5 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Can't see us signing him. Can't see us signing anyone though Handy story released by Martin Bain on the day we sell "future captain" Thomson for next to fuck all. Go back to sleep Bears, go back to sleep. Although not before shelling out for a new replica top, a season ticket and CL package. Don't worry though - we also had the annual "Kids are ready to step up" story today as well. It's a good job im so thick and gullible otherwise i'd think i was getting the piss ripped right out of me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I like both players but i have no idea why Smith has to get rid of Kevin we already have the funds for eagles (who will be a great player IF he comes to ibrox) unless they are planning to swoop for a new striker aswell maybe Welcome or some unkown player?????????????? point is why sell Kev???? we have a transfer kittyHave you spoke to someone at the club. Since when was it confirmed we did have a transfer kitty "We would love to go out and sign the Laudrups and the Gascoignes, but we can't do that.We have come out of a difficult period - although we are not completely out of it yet - and we could be on an up curve as long as we don't create too much in terms of expectation"In saying that, we have a certain amount of money to spend and now it's up to Walter and me to spend that money as wisely as we can."We have agreed with Lloyds that we can spend some of the Champions League income and we also hope to maintain wage levels as they currently stand and reinvest any transfer proceeds that we might have." Martin Bain 26/5/2010I hate when people say "How do you know we have a transfer budget", whether we do or not is something we don't know right now, but the point is we were told we did, and if we don't, then it's yet another lie.As I said, ive never seen this quote before and haven't been paying much attention the club football or the financial troubles during the WC..Em, the date on it was a few weeks before the World Cup....

papaguy51 912 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Two wingers would do us so much good I think.It'd free up so many options for the other parts of the team.Fleck, Davis, Naismith, Lafferty and Whittaker to name but a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Sadly, I have no doubt that within but days of arriving at Ibrox, several of our fans would be wheeling out the 'too lightweight' line in regards to Eagles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would do a very good job for us - but i'll believe it when i see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
