MasterD 7,457 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think Bolton wanted this lad back and I'm ashamed to say they could probably outbid us if it came to a permanent deal, lad looks like he has a future with City though The tried to get him back in the summer and City said no, he didn't seem to enjoy his time there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-89 549 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/rangers/rangers-win-the-race-for-manchester-city-winger-weiss-1.1049093?Vladimir Weiss will arrive in Glasgow this morning to complete his season-long loan move to Rangers.The 20-year-old Manchester City winger has been granted permission to fly to Scotland to complete his switch after the SPL champions won the race for his signature.A number of clubs, including Old Firm rivals Celtic and Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart, were keen on securing the services of the Slovakia internationalist when it became apparent he wasn’t going to fit into Roberto Mancini’s first-team plans this season.However, the Ibrox hierarchy managed to convince both City and the player that the opportunity to play in the Champions League this season would prove invaluable experience in his attempts to make the grade at the English Premier League club next season.City have high hopes for Weiss and were reluctant to allow him to leave but decided to give Rangers the green light to open talks with the player after another round of discussion between the clubs.It’s believed Walter Smith first registered an interest in landing the highly-rated Weiss as early as six weeks ago when Rangers reported back for pre-season training and was informed to check on his availability nearer the end of the transfer window.Martin Bain, the chief executive, stepped up his bid to pull the deal off at the beginning of this week and Rangers are now on the verge of pulling off the signing of a player who is held in high regard throughout European football.Weiss played three times for Slovakia at the World Cup finals this summer in South Africa, won the man-of-the-match award in their opening group game with New Zealand and also caught the eye in their last-16 defeat to Holland.Rangers are thought to have paid City a fee as well as agreed to match his wages, which are thought to be in the region of £20,000 a week. Smith is convinced he will prove excellent value for money.Weiss will be shown around Murray Park and Ibrox and could be paraded at a press conference later today if everything goes to plan.Rangers are unlikely to offer deals to any of the four trialists who played against Partick Thistle on Tuesday.£20k p/w Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while that standoff continued Weiss was making arrangements to travel north to join up with the Light Blues.The move is another huge transfer blow to Celtic boss Neil Lennon who has missed out on a number of big-name targets.As late as yesterday afternoon Weiss was still on Lennon's radar but Celtic had no idea he was set to move to their rivals.When asked about the Slovakian ace yesterday Lennon said: "Weiss is a player we've been looking at for some time."Weiss has not made City's star-studded 25-man squad for the Premier League but is highly rated by manager Roberto Mancini who has given his blessing to the loan deal.The move will come as a huge boost to Rangers boss Walter Smith who has been desperate to land a creative wide player.Smith and Bain made their first cash signing in two years last week when they paid Stoke City £750,000 for former England striker James Beattie.Now Weiss has been tied up and Jelavic may soon follow as the crown jewel in Smith's limited summer spending spree.Jelavic knows the deal could collapse if he is forced to play against Villa as he will then be cup-tied for Rangers' Champions League campaign.He said: "If the club is asking me to play against Villa, I'll play. But I can hardly concentrate on the match when, over the past few days, I was sold several times. My head is all mixed up."Jelavic trained on Tuesday but demanded talks with club chiefs and requested his immediate release before the Villa game.This was rejected and his agent, Velibor Momcilovic, then told Rapid the player did not want to play for the club again.He said: "Nikica wants to go to Rangers right away. His heart is already in Glasgow."But Rapid sporting director Alfred Hortnagl insists Jelavic will play tonight.He said: "It is simply too late to agree to the transfer. It would be irresponsible just before an important game against Villa to sell such a player and not have anyone to cover." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
