[TexasGers 96]

If there's one thing I know about transfers since I started following Rangers, anything and everything can and will happen so that gives me some faint hope Goodwillie will sign.

How interesting would it be for us fans to get to see how our club was run for one day, total transparency? Thousands of us speculating on here, for all we know, Ally was tucked up at home with the missus watching Eastenders. I'd be fascinated to see how things work on a busy day such as this should have been.

I know this may seem a daft question, but when a transfer bid is submitted, does it have to be in a certain format? Could it be a verbal offer down the phone? Or a fax? Or an E-mail? Would be very interested to know such things

It's usually a fax I think.

I think its pretty safe to say the potential transfer of 2m requires a lot of paperwork, details of financing and a watertight contract for payment. Again, its not like buying a bottle of bru off the van.

Optimistic loyal!

DAVID Goodillie's on-off move to Blackburn should finally go through this morning.

The 22-year-old Scotland international travelled to Lancashire yesterday to hold signing talks with the Premiership club after they agreed a £2.8 million deal with Dundee United. Goodwillie is understood to have negotiated a £20,000-a-week contract with Blackburn and was expected to undergo a medical before signing yesterday.

But manager Steve Kean has jetted off to India for a meeting with club owners Venkys to discuss his plans for the season and this caused a delay in proceedings.

The Scot had wanted to wait until he was able to meet Goodwillie in person later this week before finalising the move.

As a result, the striker returned to Scotland yesterday afternoon without having undergone the medical tests and it looked initially as though the deal could collapse.

After further talks between Blackburn and Goodwillie's agent Liam O'Donnell, though, Kean contacted the player to reassure him he is wanted at Ewood Park and he is now expected to sign today.

Rangers have refused to give up their pursuit of the player and tabled a new offer for him yesterday lunchtime but, while the deal has now crept over the £2m mark with further add-ons to come, it was still not acceptable to United.

It is believed Rangers wanted to schedule payments over a period of three years rather than pay up front for the player but this is not a scenario United are prepared to consider.

Former Ewood Park striker Kevin Gallacher, meanwhile, believes Blackburn will have pulled off a signing coup if they land Goodwillie. The Scot who, like Goodwillie, started his career at Tannadice, believes Kean will be getting a bargain for just £2.8m.

Gallacher said: "If David signs for Blackburn then it's a great move for him and also a bargain for them at that price.

"When you look at the sums of money spent in England on players, to get a striker with his scoring record for that is a great bit of business. I think he will do well in England. I have seen him play quite a few times and he has all the attributes you need.

"Obviously coming to England is a step up from the SPL and it might take him a wee while to settle. But if he can get in amongst the goals early on, which is always key for a forward player, then there's no saying what he could achieve.

"You just need to look at Charlie Adam. He came down from Rangers to Blackpool and a couple of years later has just gone to Liverpool for big money.

Yea I'm appreciate that. I just mean is there a standardised manner in which an initial offer is made, before getting into technicalities and proof that you have the money etc? Or do clubs just make the offers in any manner they wish? It's questions I suppose it is hard to answer unless you work for a club. Anywhow, he not signed yet?

Why wouldn't it be on the suns website when its updated mate? IMO its the biggest transfer in scotland atm

I think this guy is taking us for a ride tbh.

Blackburn are offering Goodwillie 20k, so for the 1st time in this whole Transfer deal i'm saying he's going to blackburn.

Rangers won't offer him 20k or more.
