1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Jim Duffy let slip on the radio there. I knew it was un-disclosed, which could mean free to 100 million.I thought we paid 1.2 million for him? does Duffy know something we dont? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo 708 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I also thought it was around the £1M mark, what did he say? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 I also thought it was around the £1M mark, what did he say?Some little arsehole saying Fortune got hounded for not scoring goals and Beattie hasn't scored yet, why aren't the media hounding him?and Duffy just said the difference is Fortune cost 3.5 million and Beattie was a free transfer.

sdunsmb 43 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 More likely to be mis-information/slip of the tongue by Duffy than true IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Would be funny if it was a free transfer though I very much doubt it unless Beattie was on huge wages and what we've agreed is to pay whatever he was on to take him of Stoke's books?

H72 265 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I highly doubt it was £1.5m. I think Stoke being desperate to get rid of him might have aided Rangers a bit financially - paying them to get him off their books, like someone already mentioned.

maxwellrfc 6 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I heard it was £800k, doubt it would have been a free but I don't think it was as high as the £1.5 million that was reported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I was sure i read a report of it being £750k or £1.3m or somewhere in between.Who knows & who cares ... as long as he gets himself fit & gets amongst the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Seem's like he is out of tomorrow night's game with a hip injury - blow as he needs the games and tomorrow would have been ideal for him.Can't see him starting in the Aberdeen, Bursaspor or Hearts games, then it's an international break...
