Jelavic Transfer Thread

Anything I've seen in here from '4th official' is usually pretty accurate. More than most. 8Million? Have to sell.

But do we have confidence that the management team have done their homework to deal with a situation like this? i.e. have conditional bids in already for a replacement(s)?

Hope so.

If people think our management team have the ability to sell Jelavic today and bring in two quality strikers before the deadline tonight need their heads checked.

We can only hope they have something up their sleave. I agree though, confidence is low in them getting good replacements in or any at all.

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.

I remember reading an article years ago that Ally done, In it he was going on about how much he liked David Nugent as a player. could be something in that

I have no belieth that we could sell jela and buy 2 strikers in the same day, going on recent transfers it just ain't gona happen. It would also be very rushed if we did and we probably would make a blunder with one of the 2 brought in
