californiadreamin52 339 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Its shite though that this is what we are reduced to signing, he wont be good enough and its a sorry state of affairs it has come to thisPaying big money is no guarantee of success Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRICKY1872 118 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Some of you appear to be completely underwhelmed but I reckon we may have unearthed a gem here. We've been watching him for some time and I'm genuinely excited at the thought of seeing him in a Rangers strip; a kind of Dan Cousin minus the attitude.Besides, I like his name...... We WELCOME the chase. Hopefully Mccoist won't be the one running the rule over him. I seem to remember him commenting that Jardel couldn't trap a bag of cement when he was over here when we were considering signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 To be honest I thought this had died a death after we were first interested in him, but if he does well and we do sign him then I hope he does well, don't know much about the standard of football in Honduras but his goal scoring record is pretty good.

Amac9 2,060 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 It makes sense to bring him on trial first instead of spending money on him to turn out shite.Only seen him play 3 games but it is unfair to judge a player in three games at the WC. Although I would prefer it if we signed Nikica Jelavic or Katlego Mphela. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,566 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 There is a shop up here that sells a big red, white and blue flag with the word Welcome on it.Would be perfect if he does actually sign for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I hope this isnt instead of Jelavic or Mphela, because he looked pish at the WCI'd rather we got Jelavic or Mphela aswell, but if Welcome impresses on his trial, £600,000 isn't a massive fee to pay.

trueblue4life 20 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 We should never base our signing targets of one fucking competition (WC in this example). El-Hadji Diouf had a great WC back in 02, Liverpool splash £10m for him and looked what happened.Me nor do i think anyone else had ever heard of this cunt before the WC, so a no from me. We should be pursuing two wingers first, Eagles knocks us back now all of a sudden we aren't going after wingers? Was Eagles the only winger Walter had in mind?? Two wingers & a striker should be the three players targeted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

H72 265 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Really happy - if this is true - that Rangers are cautious enough to get him on trial before making a move for him. £600,000 isn't exactly breaking the bank but its still money that could be used elsewhere and thats positive thinking for the club.I have no idea what this guys like so I'm not going to criticise or talk him up to be the next best thing, but we can only just wait and see. To be honest, I'd definitely prefer Mphela or Jelavic though.Am I talking shite or did I hear that Mphela and Jelavic have both played on the wings for their clubs? Definitely prefer them up top but it might be possible that if we brought in all three, we'd have a very versatile attacking set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
