Jelavic Transfer Thread

Why comment then, unless to undermine Whyte after all his pie in the sky scheme with Murray and the supposed 25 million investment was laughed at by David Murray.

Murray wanted the Whyte 'deal' to go through, of course he is going to attempt to ridicule any other plan. I'm no champion for the previous board but their concerns were given short shrift by a support desperate for the next saviour.

RANGERS £9M PRICE TAG FOR JELAVIC

Rangers have slapped a £9m price tag on Jelavic

RANGERS have slapped a £9 million pricetag on the head of wanted man Nikica Jelavic.

The Ibrox club last night turned down an initial £6.5 million offer from Sven Goran Eriksson's Leicester City.

But if - as expected - the Foxes return with an improved cash bid today or throw in a player as makeweight in any deal then the shock move for the striker will be back ON.

Jelavic has been kept aware of the bidding process and sources in Croatia last night revealed that he is open to a deadline-day move.

Leicester‚s first bid has also smoked out clubs in Russia and in the English Premiership.

Now rival offers could land on the Ibrox table today as the clock ticks down to an 11pm cut-off point.

Boss Ally McCoist does not want to flog Jelavic and be left short up front.

Leicester have already moved a number of players on this window and of the strikers currently on their books, McCoist would only be tempted by the likes of former Portsmouth man David Nugent and ex-Sunderland striker Martyn Waghorm.

But it will be up to Ibrox owner Craig Whyte to decide if he can sell Jelavic and placate an Ibrox support already disenchanted at the team‚s poor form at the start of the season.

Rangers fans were last night split on the possible sale of the striker who proved his class in the title run-in last season ˆ but has looked surly and disinterested in recent weeks.

SEARCH FOOTBALL for:

Rangers paid £4 million to land the striker from Rapid Vienna last season and have him tied down on a contract until 2014.

However, if the club can double their dough on Jelavic and land a replacement striker as part of any deal then it will be pushed through.

Jelavic is on international duty with Croatia this week ahead of a Euro 2012 qualifier against Malta on Friday night, but is primed to make a late dash to complete any move.

Eriksson‚s side are bankrolled by Thai multi-millionaire Vichai Raksriaksorn and they can blow Jelavic‚s Ibrox salary out of the water.

The hitman is one of the top earners at Ibrox, but pockets less than £20,000 a week in the SPL and could earn nearer £30,000 by moving to English football‚s second tier.

Meanwhile, Rangers could also look at sanctioning loan deals for the likes of Kyle Hutton, Andrew Little and John Fleck as the youngsters eye first-team football ahead of a return to Ibrox in January or at the end of the campaign.

Sounds like were touting to the highest bidder, i'd rather we come out and say he's not for sale.

we are stuck in the spl and we will always need to sell players. that said we should be selling at the right time and price with replacements lined up.

That i agree with! The 90's and 00's are long gone. We are now a selling club. We are also now a small club in the grand scheme of things. As much as that pains me to say

Yet snidely tried to undermine it at the same time, AJ loved playing the Rangers supporting chairman role an became a character to ridicule certainly not one to listen to unless like yourself it fitted your madcap theories.
