G.E.C. 19,113 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Before the takeover got completed we kept hearing that Whyte would pledge £5m a season for transfers.Once it got completed we were then hearing that Ally could spend £10m. Then recently it could be £12m.Now we are making move for players but it looks like we won't spend £2m on Goodwillie.If the budget is indeed more than £10m then I'm baffled that we're not spending a £2m fee.Maybe it is £5m afterall.

Broxi 11,713 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 if it is £12m then I dont see why were not paying £2m for goodwillie, fuck "whyte and ally don't think he's worth it" it's a fair price now pay it! £3m for Cueller is a good price too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 It'll be £5 million plus whatever we make from departuresHe won't sanction the £3 million for Cuellar and £2 million for Goodwillie because it would mean no other new signingsJust my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,208 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 If he said 12 mil I would just trust that that is the actual budget plus we get about 1.5mil extra from Adam sell on.I'm just hoping they're holding it back to see if there are better targets.Although I would love to see the two join.

bluepeter 5,627 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 The £12m figure came from the Record (I think) adding up the £5m on transfers plus money for stadium improvements, etc. Whyte has always said there is £5m per year, if that needs front-loaded he can do it. Any other figures are speculation from the papers.For what it's worth, I don't think we should pay more than we think a player is worth just because we're not in debt to the bank anymore. That's how you get back in debt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,398 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 £5m a year would be ok if we didn't have to rebuild pretty much a whole squad.I say spend £15m this summer if needs be and then have £5m next year and £5m again then next and top that up with CL earnings, assuming we qualify for the enxt few years.If we spend the right amount just now and continue to develope Wylde, Ness, Cole, Hutton and Fleck then we may not need to buy many players in the next few years.

Loan Ranger 48 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 He never ever said we would have 10-12 mill to spend on TRANSFERS.This amount was quoted as going into the club straight away - with 5 mill of that earmarked for transfers - the rest wages stadium etc.The only thing that was thrown around was that there was poss more available if ally needed it (but I never saw a quote for this)The only thing gauranteed is 5 mill.This should not be a surprize as it was in the takeover contract.People read something half assed and think its something else then bam about we have 12 mill to spend when it isnt and never was true.

Broxi 11,713 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Such a fair price that no other team is willing to pay yet either.because they tried the same as us and tried a smaller offer that will be rejected, then they will probably come back in with the £2m with Cardiff quoted to be willing to pay the £2m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 We've got some money so we should just pay whatever we're asked to rather than what we think players are worth?That's what got us into this mess in the first place, of course it's frustrating not to see any signings yet but the last thing we need is to be wasteful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Was surprised no one picked up on the £5m a year transfer money when it was announced . I think you will find we spent more than £5m every year ......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyjones 3,009 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 We haven't even managed to sign up our own players to extended contracts. Dealing with other clubs will be decidedly tricky, regardless of what we have to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 25,043 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 if rangers dont feel that goodwillie, cuellar or anyone else is worth what their current clubs are wanting then good for themits about time we didnt make a complete cunt of it in the transfer market, the last time we did forced us into 3 years of financial shitepersonally i wouldnt pay more than say 1.5-1.7 for goodwillie, especially with a potential court case hanging over his headand cuellar isnt worth 3million ffs, bougherra is fitter, wont miss pre-season, has the same length of time on his contract and has played a helluva lot more than cuellar in the previous 3 yearsso can we expect more than 3 million for bougherra?????????not a fucking chance, if boughie is worth 2million then cuellar is worth the same and no more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
