simon 1,758 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I would love to see Goodwillie in a Rangers shirt. He is still young and has plenty of time to make his fortune, a few years with his boyhood team then he can move down south? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,332 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 15/16 months left of his deal i believe mate. 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?Fuckin hell! Has Thompson got soft lately or does he think Goodwillie is damaged goods since his last run-in with the law?The last I heard before his rape charge was that Thompson had slapped a £3-4million price tag on his head.

markybear 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.Unfortunately cash is kingAny Agent would advise him to join brum based purely on money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markybear 136 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Never a Rangers player in his life, hopefully.What because some cash hungry slapper told a few porkies ?If ur basing ur comment on footballing ability then I'm puzzled tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plamf 39 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'd be careful about players that look good at other SPL clubs. Steven Naismith was easily the best young player around and took years to find any sort of form. So many other players have looked good at poor SPL sides then awful at the old firm. In fact, few of the players to make the step up have left any sort of mark in recent years. Then again, it could also be argued that the majority of our foreign signings are also poor. I'd only be signing other SPL players if they really, really stand out and I'm not sure about Goodwillie. We need to be looking more at countries like Iceland which appear to have an abundance of top talent coming through. The problem is the scouting infrastructure is just not in place and I wouldn't have much faith in John Brown knowing much about these nations...

PaulRFC1 115 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Why would Birmingham offer double what we would offer ?Just because they have a bit of money doesn't mean they are going to be offering him 40k a week jesus We will probably offer similar wage packets and if they offer more it will more than likely be a couple of grand.Sign him up !

KBOO72 4,471 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Based on what?!Based on my opinion . Ok he may be a decent spl striker , and is no doubt in good form at the moment . But there have been plenty stories over the last few years for me to build an opinion on the guy . And in my opinion , I don't want the wee ned at rangers .

Iirc we offered 15/16k pwBrum offered 26/27aye but that's a bit different considering they were trying to entice him away from us and he ended up going for even more than they offered. Plus Miller was playing at a big club, has a wealth of experience and had scored a load of goals. Goodwillie plays for a shite team and could easily be the next Derek Riordan or *insert token decent spl attacker who is pish at higher level* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being the case, we wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, and rightly so. Even if these charges disappear/he's found not guilty, trouble seems to follow him around.

Even if these charges disappear/he's found not guilty, trouble seems to follow him around.As with all too many Scottish footballers and many English too. The whole of British football needs to get a grip and approach the game differently. If Lionel Messi was British he'd probably be more interested in getting pished and starting fights than winning champions leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given the choice I'd prefer neither . I have no doubts what so ever that there are better players out there for the same kind of money that would offer far less of a risk than goodwillie .
