Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I know a player can say one thing and then do another, but if this is true then at least it's a little moral boost for us whilst looking for other players.Sought-after defender Madjid Bougherra has handed Rangers a welcome boost by committing his future to Ibrox.Financially-stricken Gers were in danger of losing their prize stopper this summer after the 27-year-old attracted interest from numerous European clubs.But the Algeria centre-back has revealed he will remain at the Scottish champions, admitting his decision was influenced by manager Walter Smith and the club's supporters."Yes, I'll stay with Rangers," Bougherra said in the Daily Record. "I prefer to stay with the team so I can maintain stability at the club."Also, I have to be fair to the Rangers supporters. They have insisted I stay at the club."And I have the highest respect for the Rangers manager too."Meanwhile, Bougherra could be joined in Glasgow by two new signings, with Rangers reportedly targeting USA internationals Alejandro Bedoya and Benny Feilhaber.

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Madjid Bougherra has come out and said that for the past couple of transfer windows and he is still here.As long as we don't receive a massive bid for him I think he will stay with us.

papaguy51 912 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Bougherra says the same every week.If the club doesn't agree a package that's suitable for him and for us, then he's happy to stay.If the club does agree a decent fee for him, and the interested club is suitable, he'll be away.Simple.

Ozblue 4,332 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Madjid Bougherra has come out and said that for the past couple of transfer windows and he is still here.As long as we don't receive a massive bid for him I think he will stay with us.We were talking to him after one of the training sessions in Sydney and he did say that he was very happy to stay where he was and was really looking forward to the new season, so I hope it stays that way...He really appreciates the value of the fans and goes out of his way to make them feel important, BTW! It's about time some other members of our squad took some lessons from him in the PR department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 very annoying Boogie stop angling for a switch Bougherra keeps options openPublished 15:01 13/08/10 By Pa Sports Recommend Madjid Bougherra has refused to rule out the possibility of quitting Rangers before the end of the month if the Scottish champions receive an offer they cannot refuse.The defender still has two years left on his current deal and insists he is happy to remain at Ibrox and bolster hopes of a third successive Clydesdale Bank Premier League championship. Several players have departed since the end of last season and the Ibrox faithful may be surprised that the club's prize asset - who has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool - has not been part of the exodus so far."I have a two-year contract and I am very happy here so if I stay here, there is no problem," said Bougherra. "But if there is a big opportunity for the club or for me, we will see what happens."He continued: "At the moment, I am very comfortable and I want to play again this year. I'm ready for the new season and we are ready to prove again that we can win the title so I'm excited to play the first game at homeRead more: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Bougherra-keeps-options-open-article553929.html#ixzz0wUrdxnHb Sign up for MirrorFootball's Morning Spy newsletter Register here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,748 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 He has to say these things because at this moment in time he is a Rangers player and nothing is going to change that, until an offer comes along that the club cant refuse, then he can leave...

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 do you believe that, dont you think it would be all over the place and i think boughy would have had summit to say on the matter, hes had ample opportunityIt was all over the place. I remember seeing iton SKY Text page 300 and on Sky Sports News. Might just be sou grapes from Rothen but I remember Bougherra saying he's happy and would consider a move to a big club, but the clubs Rangers probably tried to punt him to were second tier.

papaguy51 912 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I don't see what he's saying wrong.As he always always always says, he's happy to stay unless an offer that's suitable to both him and the club comes along.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 He said on an interview that was on the BBC website a few months back that he would consider signing a new contract no problems.Only problem being, with a wage cap of somethin like 17/18 grand - it wouldn't be much of a raise, if any? so I can't see the club or his agent rushing for extension talks as things stand, which is a shame.
