disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Commons has probably just asked for the night to sleep on it and have a we think about it all.Remeber, Brum gave Mhiller a 6pm deadline for the same reasons and they were still after him 2 days later.While Walter and our club confirmed we were in talks with Derby, sounds like it was near to a done deal but we forgot the main part of tying him down first.Birmingham gave Miller a 6pm deadline because they knew he was talking to other clubs, we on the other hand were desperate to try and push him to Birmingham more the extra £££.The player holds all the cards in these types of deals, you need to tie them up first and then force the club he's at hands. Not the other way about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermac 115 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My info. Gary Teale is my brother in law. Was on the phone to my sister as my wee ones been unwell and she had been up and was asking how she was etc. At the end was just saying Hi to Gary as heard he was being lined up for a player coach role at Wednesday. Says it's shite and he's had an offer from Oz to go. Anyway. Was chatting away and a mentioned Kris as they were close pals. Said Kris was staying at his pad and is due at Murray Park in the morning. He did say though Celtic and Middlesborough had enquired... But no offer made to club or agent. Kris is keen to join Gers and that was it.Guy from FF says that believe what you want but I refuse to believe anything either way, still hope this is true. bombaybadboy08 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 26,521 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Celtic have ever only had one thought on their mind and it's not winning titles,cups and having a team on the park, but how to get one over on us, thats how they keep fans onside. 6 days to go and they aint baught a single defender, but this will all be forgotten about as long as they get one over the rangers.

It might still very well transpire that he does want to come to Rangers and that the shenanigans of tonight since I wrote my original article are merely bargaining from an agent ahead of eventually signing for us...

KingKirk 26,521 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 By ROBERT GRIEVE and ROGER HANNAH Published: Today Add a comment (0) KRIS COMMONS has been told that his dream move to Rangers will be OFF unless he cuts his wage demands. And that has left Celtic poised to pounce with a pre-contract deal for the Scotland and Derby County winger. The Old Firm rivals are both eager to snap up Commons - but Rangers are unwilling to fork out the £20,000- a-week he is demanding. Ibrox chief executive Martin Bain spent yesterday in talks with the 27-year-old, who is seeking the same wages Kenny Miller was on before his move to Turkey last week. But Bain has told him there's NO CHANCE of that contract being put on the table. Now Celtic are waiting in the wings and could strike a deal that would allow Commons to move to Parkhead in the summer. Hoops boss Neil Lennon may even step in with a cut-price offer to tempt Derby to part with the pacy wide man before the January transfer window slams shut. That would be a major blow for Gers' boss-in-waiting Ally McCoist, who is a huge admirer of Commons. McCoist has been pushing for the deal to be done, but the financial restraints on Bain mean he's unable to stretch the budget beyond a maximum of £15,000-a-week. Last night senior sources at the club told SunSport there is no room for negotiation on those figures with the ball now firmly in Commons' court. No formal fee has yet been agreed with Derby by either of the Old Firm, but it's understood an offer of around £350,000 will be enough to get him. Gers are desperate to add to their squad with Bain working around the clock to get players in. However he does NOT want to use all of the cash saved from Miller's salary on just one player. Commons, who has won seven Scotland caps, is seen as the man who could provide the ammunition for fit-again frontman Nikica Jelavic. The Croatian will make his first start for three months as Gers travel to Easter Road this evening. And Smith believes the £4million strike star can fill the void created by Miller's mid-season exit. The Gers boss said: "Nikica showed in the early games he's a goalscorer. "It will obviously take him a few games to get back to full match sharpness, but scoring is a natural instinct for him." Smith is unlikely to move to bring former fans' favourites Kris Boyd or Nacho Novo back to Ibrox. The pair are available after horror starts to their careers at Middlesbrough and Sporting Gijon. But it's understood Gers will look towards younger players. Smith said: "We couldn't afford to pay the money Middlesbrough were paying last season and we can't afford to pay it now. But I can't rule out anything just now."
