StuartM6 279 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Clearly wasn't high up our wanted list. Maybe were being really smart and have used hemed and conway as cover for the players we really want to sign. No great loss anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Fresh from the BBC:Craig Conway chooses Cardiff City over RangersPage last updated at 13:26 GMT, Tuesday, 21 June 2011 14:26 UKBy Jim SpenceBBC ScotlandConway made 137 appearances for United during his time on TaysideCardiff City have beaten Rangers in the race to sign out-of-contract Scotland winger Craig Conway.The former Dundee United winger says he has agreed terms with Cardiff City and will have a medical in the next few days with the Championship side."I was really impressed by [Cardiff manager] Malky Mackay when I met him when he was manager at Watford," Conway, 26, told BBC Scotland.Cardiff, who face a big rebuilding process, have refused to comment.Conway's agent, Mark Donaghy, held talks with Rangers last week but no offer was made by the Ibrox club.New Cardiff manager Mackay was keen to sign Conway during his time as Watford manager.Conway was signed for Dundee United by then manager Craig Brewster in June 2006.He has made two appearances for Scotland and scored two goals in Utd's 3-0 win over Ross County in the 2010 Scottish Cup final.Along with Rangers and Watford, he had been a target for a number of English clubs including Leicester City and Leeds United.Well that's another one missed out on!!! Q. If Bain was still in the hotseat would we have signed Conway?No.Unless he fancied Bain and said he wanted to play for free, nothing would have been different.

TBagalag 722 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Anybody else get the feeling we are just chancing our arm by offering low wages to bosmans as squad fillers, keeping more money in the kitty for the quality couple of players we need. I get the impression Mr McCoist is not overly fussed about missing out on these players, maybe I am just being optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 What was he at Murray Park for a buffet lunch?Talks. Just because he was at Murray Park doesn't mean that an offer had to be made!Don't understand all this 'egg on face' pish. We lost on Hemed - a player no-one on here had seen play. He chose La Liga and Mallorca ahead of The Rangers, it happens, and a dud (Conway is pish), without even offering him a deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markybear 136 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I did want him, on a free transfer with low-ish wages he would've been a gd addition to the squad IMO. I think it was silly to let him slip through the net so to speak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 1,167 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We didn't even offer him a contract FFS! What the fuck is going on at Ibrox, seriously? All we need is Danns to knock us back now and make it the 'egg on face' hat-trick.Deals can fall through for a variety of reasons,ranging from wages,signing on fee,length of contract etc.Imo better being cautious and bringing in players who can improve the 1st team than signing average squad players.Be patient.

TheMotor 2,208 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Admins, can we have a quota on the number of squealing wee girlies in a thread at any one time please?The number of drama queens with pish-stained panties in here is just fucking ridiculous. So we didn't offer a contract to a potential freebie from Dundee Utd? So what?Ally drew up an A-List and a B-List of potential targets. If Conway was anything other than near the bottom of the B-List, I would be well surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-RFC 308 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Craig Conway chooses Cardiff City over RangersConway's agent, Mark Donaghy, held talks with Rangers last week but no offer was made by the Ibrox club.HmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmIf Mccoist really wanted him in , alarmingIf he wasnt that bothered then Im ok with thatHowever the fact that we were following Hemed and Conway since January suggests they were of major interest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANUCKBEAR10 3 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 To me it seems that we are low-balling players. I know we are not going to pay over the odds but you gotta pay a guy what he is worth. Just becuase we dont think a guy is worth that much, if others teams are offering it then he basically is. I don;t think we should get caught up in that too much but if we want any sort of 1/2 decent player then we might have to pay the market rate(even if it is more than we wanted).

CANUCKBEAR10 3 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 No great loss here move on ...........No great loss!?!??!? Well he is better than what we have at the moment in that position and he is a free agent. I am not saying he is great or anything but when you don't have to pay a fee for a guy who will improve your squad then I see that as a loss. I know there are many better players out there BUT they are gonna cost us a transfer fee AND similar if not more wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassaaaa 11,406 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 CanuckYeah hes that great the only team that came in for him for FREE is Cardiff and the reason he went is because they can give him more wages Rangers .

Like i said no great loss , will be back at Falkirk or St Mirren in a yearI hear ya and know what you mean, but do we have better wingers than him at the moment? I dont think we do (Wylde is still young)I just think that wingers that will be better than him are gonna cost of 2-4 million plus wages that are better than what he was offered. Do we have 2-4 mil to put into that area??? I just meant that he was a free, cheaper option who would improve us at least a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said no great loss , will be back at Falkirk or St Mirren in a yearI agree he is no loss but he did not choose Cardiff because they can offer more money than Rangers; he chose Cardiff because we didn't offer anything at all.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Another average player agrees to join another smaller club instead of the Rangers. Who the fuck is selling our club to these targets? Is that our first 3 or 4 targets all knocked us back then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
