Getstiffed 8,863 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Aye but whats the net spend over the same time period, not much I would imagine when you consider how much has been brought in over the same period.Fair point. Tbh mate, as far as the SPL goes we dont have to invest that heavily in the squad. This summer could be our highest spending transfer period in the next 5 years. Assuming we dont pull of a wee sneaky big name signing sometime in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 735 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Wouldn't give a flying what they think If we got Barton we would win the league.I understand your point but what do you expect from them eh?We could have signed Mother Teresa and they'd find something to complain about.Probably that her tea-towel was a shade of Fuck-The-Pope blue or something.

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I have serious doubts now about Craig Whyte and just how much money he does have.Do you not feel he may just be having doubts now about the wisdom of rubber stamping the appointment of the manager? It is true he's given new contracts to the players who did it for us last season but that's only prudent to ensure they have a decent price in the transfer market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmerich 0 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 To be honest with you, for £2.5 million we could probably get somebody better than Goodwillie and there's still plenty of time left for us to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also admitted lying to attract followers and joined the site, which anyone can join and post on for free, on the 1st of August!!!!! Why are we continuing to quote nobodies from Twitter?

KingKirk 25,695 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 DAVID GOODWILLIE will sign for Blackburn Rovers today in a £2.8million deal. But Rangers manager Ally McCoist is raging that Dundee United snubbed his offer for Goodie. Coisty believes he tabled a bid which amounted to MORE money up front for hitman Goodie. But United owner Stephen Thompson rejected the deal from their SPL rivals - deciding it was NOT better than what the Premiership outfit were prepared to pay over the long term. Goodwillie headed to Lancashire yesterday for signing talks and part of his medical, with the paperwork set to be completed after a final routine scan. And Rangers last night finally conceded defeat in their pursuit of last season's Young Player of the Year. But boss McCoist is fuming with the way that negotiations developed throughout the day. And he was left convinced United had no intention of EVER selling the 22-year-old Scotland striker to them, regardless of what was offered. A high-ranking Rangers source told SunSport: "The deal on offer was a good one - in many ways better than what was tabled by Blackburn Rovers. But Dundee United were only willing to do business with Rovers and the talks broke down." United chairman Thompson, however, insists Rangers did NOT table a better deal than the one on offer down south. He told SunSport: "Rangers' bid was not acceptable. The overall deal was not as much as was on offer from Blackburn. "If the offer was right from Rangers then of course we could have sold to them. But the offer was NOT right as far as we're concerned - and that's it." SunSport understands the crucial difference in the deals tabled by both clubs surrounded the sell-on clauses offered. It's believed Gers initially didn't offer anything - with Rovers more than happy to sign a deal which would see United earn a percentage of a future transfer fee. With add-on bonuses also written into the contract - dependant on how many appearances Goodwillie makes in the Premiership - United firmly believe Rangers' offer is NOT worth more in the long run. McCoist's biggest frustration is that he didn't get the opportunity to talk to the player - convinced that if he did he'd have been able to sell him on a move to Rangers. Discussions took place throughout yesterday as Gers were also given the news that new defender Dorin Goian is NOT eligible to play in the Champions League qualifier with Malmo. The Romanian flew to Sweden as part of McCoist's squad yesterday. But Gers were informed by UEFA that their bid to have him in their side for the second-leg clash had failed. Goian signed for the Ibrox side before last week's transfer deadline and they believe he should be able to play. But UEFA insist his work permit was not rubber-stamped as Rangers didn't have the proper documentation in place. Gers were still fighting the decision last night, convinced they had filed the necessary paperwork - but it's highly unlikely Goian will be able to play in the Swedbank Stadium. Coisty, meanwhile, has still not given up hope of signing Roland Juhasz from Anderlecht - with further talks expected to take place over the next8 hours (what a dick I look for using that phrase). Den Haag winger Wesley Verhoek is also still on the radar despite fresh interest from FulhamRead more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/3730238/Rangers-anger-as-Rovers-land-David.html#ixzz1Tv5UnFyD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
