bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Muff mentioned this last night but no direct quotes from Walter,wouldn't surprise me if it was lifted off here.RANGERS boss Walter Smith could be set to make a fresh swoop for young Dundee United striker David Goodwillie. Smith handed new signing James Beattie a debut yesterday as goals from Kenny Miller and Stevie Naismith sealed a 2-1 win over s at Ibrox. He was pleased with the English striker's display but once again hammered home the need to bring in new players. And that could lead to Gers making a bid for Tannadice ace Goodwillie. The clubs have held talks about the 21-year-old and United wouldn't be able to resist a £1million offer. Ibrox stopper Andy Webster, who spent last season on loan in Tayside, has also been mentioned as a makeweight in the deal. Last night Smith revealed: "We have money to spend. I'm not quite sure how much but money is there. "We need to bring in players and I'd like another striker. "In the past few weeks we've been working hard to bring in new faces but haven't quite managed as many as we would have liked. "We will keep trying and I'd like additions before next weekend's game at Hibs. Beattie has signed already and I was pleased with his performance. "He's behind in his pre-season preparations and probably wouldn't have played under normal circumstances. "But we were forced to play him today. It was good win and a lot of things pleased me - but some things didn't."http://www.<No links to this website>/football/spl/2010/08/15/rangers-in-hunt-for-dundee-united-striker-david-goodwillie-86908-22489152/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 When are the wide men going to arrive because we need them before another striker!The management talk about it all pre-season, yet the first signing was a striker. Get it sorted, yesterday showed what we have lacked for years... We can't go into yet another season with out attacking midfielders/wingers, and playing strikers or right backs out there will not do!As for Goodwillie; not the type of player we need at this moment in time!

Ted E Bayer 544 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The fact that he says he wants another striker and that fact that it's in an article linking us with GoodWillie I'm no longer holding much hope for Jelavic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu1993 101 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 One of this mornings paper has we are back in for Jelavic, and the other has Goodwillie, with both having similar quotes from smith about looking to add a new striker.I think its a case of the rhags writing what they want us to hear.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 We desperately need a winger, I'd be annoyed if we bought another striker before a winger, or not buying one at all.I just hope Walter isn't bringing in strikers to replace the likes of, Naismith and Lafferty who he'd chose as our wingers.

broxi51 48 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 if smith is wanting another striker, it fairly obvious that he does not think lafferty or naismith are good enough in the long term to be the clubs 1st or 2nd main striker, and will shoehorn them into other positions like the lm berth.

Muff 245 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Don't see what he would add to the teamPace and work-rate I'd guess, but we need more than that and Goodwillie is not a player we require at this moment in time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyboy2009 11 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I was thinking the same thing, smith is bidding over 4 million for 1 player but doesn't even know how much he has to spend? Right then! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwellrfc 6 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Why are we lookin for another striker, we've got enough strikers. We need a couple of wide men and another left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffbear 4,183 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Don't want Goodwillie this season....don't want to pay that fuckin prick Thompson a penny after saying what he did.If Jelavic does sign we'll have the countries 3 best strikers in Miller,Beattie and Jelavic..
