ibroxgers25 18 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 ALEX McLEISH is on a collision course with his pal Ally McCoist over Dundee United striker David Goodwillie.Rangers boss in-waiting McCoist is a big admirer of the Arabs hitman and has identified him as a key part of his rebuilding plans at Ibrox.But Birmingham gaffer McLeish wants the controversial frontman too.Eck is on the lookout for a new striker with club stalwart Kevin Phillips poised to celebrate his 39th birthday by the time the new season kicks off.The Brum boss missed out on Rangers' Kenny Miller during the January transfer window but will look again at Goodwillie.The battle could come down to cash. McCoist can pull in much-needed transfer revenue by selling keeper Allan McGregor, who has been linked with Bursaspor and Arsenal.http://www.<No links to this website>/football/spl/rangers/2011/03/27/birmingham-set-for-battle-with-rangers-to-secure-signing-of-david-goodwillie-86908-23019770/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 This should be in the Bears Den.I reckon if Goodwillie had a choice between Birmingham and us, he'd choose us. Even if Birmingham offered a better wage package than we did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Goodness sake, thats all we need. Eck might be in the Championship next season right enough, possibly out a job by then! We should have had thsi deal tied up last year, before we lost millions on Beattie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Birmingham will offer twice as much wages, if it comes to a straight fight he'll go south, anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosstheger 7 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hopefully we can get him. A jelavic/Goodwillie partnership would be very strong IMO. Healy would be cheap back-up, as would Fleck, Hemmings etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 So what do we do then blueben, just give up and not bother even talking to him? Just surrender? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yes, completely.That must be a recent development because he hired a lawyer just last month, Paul McBride no less!Cant find anything about it being dropped online.

I too have read that they had, but it was only by posters on here saying so.I didnt know there was breaking news about the police dismissing claims, surely that would have made the press?

Ozblue 4,332 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I was under the impression that Goodwillie signed an extended contract in 2009,as his original contract ran out in May 2010.If we have to battle a transfer fee with that cunt Thompson, we have no chance,especially if the freckled one is determined to get him.But we can only but try.

Contract runs out same time as Bougherra and Davis.Utd have publically named their price, they wanted £1m with 18 months to go on his contract, with 6 months less come the summer, maybe 750k?
