Goodwillie To Sign For Blackburn Tomorrow


Recommended Posts

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 Fulham

Do you think that David Goodwillie may not have been aware of some of that? Especially Allys obvious assertions that UTD were yanking our chain from the outset? And the claim that we are the highest bidder?

probably but most likely he doesn't care.

It probably comes down to a matter of interpretation about the add-ons with unknowable future events allowing room for both parties to make their own claims about it. Dundee Utd are in no position to knock back a Rangers bid just to be childish - have you seen their squad this season? They are truly skint and thin on the ground. It's also a nice bit of spin from Rangers' point of view to say Utd never had an intention to sell when we all know that we've been slow to react and been beaten to the punch yet again.

FFS you think we're frustrated about all of this shite. How do u think McCoist feels? Been chasing this guy since june we finally end up matching or even offering more than blackburn and, it's still rejected. Then we get told that Goian won't be able to play on wed. Everything that can go wrong for ally has gone wrong.

And it's not his fault.

But this seems to be popping up alot "Coisty, meanwhile, has still not given up hope of signing"..........

When ever i here this "has not given up hope of signing.... it's never a good sign.

probably but most likely he doesn't care.

If it were true he was desperate to play under Ally AND he didnt know we actually outbid BB: wouldnt it be fair to say that might cause a u-turn?

I doubt any of that will happen because, like you, I dont think he really cares.

Pointless hypotheticals.

Christ, I see the record also have that 2 days worth of hours filter too! <cr>

Utd were never going to sell to us. Well, lets just see what happens next time they need a favour off us. This is payback from them for kicking up a stink about our fans being charged twice to watch the same game and voting against league reconstruction. Fuck the minging wee pile of shite that they are. Without Goodwillie, they'll toil to be top 6 this season. Hope to fuck we knock 7 past them again this season! (tu)

We havent given up hope of keeping it alive and we'll keep trying to make it happen until the thread moves somewhere else.

The only time this thread will be dead is when Goodwillie signs for Blackburn.

He's not signed for them yet, he's had a wasted trip down there and he's had a medical cancelled. so to me that doesn't sound as if he's close to signing for them. I don't care how many storys are in the paper saying how close he is.

They have been saying he's close to signing for anyone but Rangers now for a month. Ever get the feeling no cunt wants him to sign for us?
