Plamf 39 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 How come ?You think he would knock back a years loan up here ?Yes. As if Chelsea would want one of their best youngsters playing in this shite league as well . I don't think a rainy night at Fir Park trudging through mud with heavy challenges flying everywhere is quite the place to develop his talent.He will easily get a loan deal at a mid table club in the EPL.

Plamf 39 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 No harm in asking instead of ruling ourselves out of signing anyone.We need to focus our efforts on semi realistic signings. Completely ruling out anyone highly thought of among Europe's elite might be a start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Lawrence Siphiwe Tshabalala (born 25 September 1984 in Phiri) is a South African professional footballer, who currently plays for Kaizer Chiefs. Big powerful goal scoring left-winger. Exactly the type of player Rangers are need. He has a good goal scoring record:13 goals in 64 apperances for Free State Stars21 goals in 96 apperances for Kaizer Chiefshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphiwe_Tshabalala RECENT ARTICLE:"Miracle needed by ChiefsMay 19 2011 at 09:42amBy Jonty MarkComment on this storychiefs_may 19Gallo ImagesSiphiwe Tshabalala has been one of the shining lights for Kaizer Chiefs this season, but his play might not be enough for Amakhosi to steal the league title from Ajax on Saturday. They need the Urban Warriors to lose, Pirates to draw or lose and then win against AmaZulu to take the trophy. Photo: Gallo ImagesThe famous words of that great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas spring readily to mind when contemplating Kaizer Chiefs’ latest Absa Premiership title challenge.The problem for the Amakhosi is that however much they “rage against the dying of the light,” the likelihood is that they will, by 5pm on Saturday afternoon, be contemplating a sixth straight season without South Africa’s greatest domestic prize.Chiefs showed plenty of ‘rage’ on May 7 in Polokwane, as they shredded league leaders Ajax 4-0, with by far their best performance of the season.Yet, even if they show similar qualities in Durban against AmaZulu on Friday, it will still require an almighty blow-out by both Ajax and Orlando Pirates to hand them the championship.For the record, only an Ajax defeat, and a Pirates draw or defeat will be enough for the Amakhosi.Chiefs have been talking a good game – that has never been a problem.Kaizer Motaung was all bravado last week as he attacked the South African Football Association, arguing that they didn’t communicate properly, and “forgot we were still in the running,” when they called up Siphiwe Tshabalala, Itumeleng Khune and Reneilwe Letsholonyane to the Bafana squad.In the end, of course, Motaung got his way, and the three players returned to the club. The likelihood is, however, that it will be a final defiant act in another title failure.There has been plenty to admire in Vladimir Vermezovic’s Chiefs this season. At the back, the Amakhosi have stood as firm as anyone, with Thomas Sweswe, Valery Nahayo and Dominic Isaacs, all turning in commendable campaignsThe Serbian coach plays an enterprising brand of football, his side possessing a fluidity in attack that Orlando Pirates, for one, struggle to match.Vermezovic clearly encourages his fullbacks, Jimmy Tau and Punch Masenamela, to get forward and often it has yielded excellent results. Tau has been particularly effective.Tshabalala continues to display the massive improvements in his game that began to sparkle in Carlos Alberto Parreira’s camp in Brazil shortly before the 2010 Fifa World Cup.Knowledge Musona, meanwhile, started the season looking like he might might match Collins Mbesuma’s memorable 25-goal effort, when Chiefs last won the title in 2004/5.As Musona suffered a dip in form in the new year, however, so Chiefs’ attacking flaws began to show.In terms of goal-grabbing, the side has little depth.If Tshabalala and Kaizer Motaung Jnr have weighed in with six goals apiece, the likes of Abia Nale, Sthembiso Ngcobo and Mandla Masango have to be among the first candidates for the transfer list when Chiefs come to contemplate next season.The signing of Stanton Lewis in January also yielded unimpressive results.For all the praise one can give Vermezovic, the Chiefs coach must also take responsibility for a fallibility in the Amakhosi against weaker opposition.Defeats at home to Santos and Vasco da Game, just ahead of Soweto derbies against Pirates, speak of a failure to focus his team for matches they really ought to have won.Vermezovic was also responsible for arguably the tactical brain-explosion of the season, when he decided to leave Tshabalala and Musona on the bench for the May 1 game at Sundowns.Chiefs’ aforementioned lack of depth meant they missed at least two clear chances, and were 2-0 down and dead and buried by the time the pair entered the field.Musona and Tshabalala’s importance to the Amakhosi was then highlighted in the subsequent thumping of leaders Ajax.Such factors have left Chiefs praying for a Saturday afternoon miracle. In all likelihood, for the Amakhosi, the light will all but die."http://www.iol.co.za/sport/miracle-needed-by-chiefs-1.1070888 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdocherty72 215 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Just been released by Stoke, 6'1 Centre Back. Maybe replacement for Bougherra if he leaves? Plus i don't think he'd be on too much money at Stoke. Also played 34 games for Senegal which would increase our fan base. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Sasac 164 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Celtic will be among the favourites surely?They almost got him at the end of one of the transfer windows, don't see why they wouldn't renew their interest. Decent enough player, would give us a threat from set pieces.Don't like the "wouldn't imagine he'd be on too much money" line though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdocherty72 215 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 YesWe were linked with him during the world cup. His goal against Mexico Looked good during the world cup, I'd take him.
