mithrandir713 8 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Lol, Stephen Hughes! If you look at the list of signings, apart from the arteta blimp, Mcleish did well. http://rangerspedia.org/index.php/Alex_McLeish_Signings Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 35,376 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Marvin Andrews - From Livingston, Free Transfer Mikel Arteta - From Barcelona, £6 million Henning Berg - From Blackburn Rovers, Free Transfer Olivier Bernard - From Southampton, Free Transfer Jerome Bonnissel - From Bordeaux, Free Transfer Jean-Alain Boumsong - From AJ Auxerre, Free Transfer Kris Boyd - From Kilmarnock, £450,000 Thomas Buffel - from Feyenoord, £2.2 million Nuno Capucho - From FC Porto, £670,000 Frank de Boer - From Galatasaray, Free Transfer Bojan Djordjic - From Manchester United, Free Transfer Jose-Karl Pierre Fanfan - From PSG, Free Transfer Barry Ferguson - From Blackburn Rovers, £100,000 (Blackburn owed money from transfer of barry to Blackburn Bajram Fetai - From B.93, £200,000 Brahim Hemdani - From Marseille, Free Transfer Francis Jeffers - From Charlton Athletic (loan), Marc Kalenga - From Auxerre, Free Transfer Zurab Khizanishvili - From Dundee, Free Transfer Sotirios Kyrgiakos - From Panathinaikos, Loan then Free Transfer Filippo Maniero - From Torino, Free Transfer Dragan Mladenovic - From Red Star Belgrade, £1 Million Hamed Namouchi - from AS Cannes, Free Transfer Dany N'Guessan - From AJ Auxerre, Federico Nieto - From Almagro (loan), Nacho Novo - From Dundee, £450,000 Egil Ostenstad - From Blackburn Rovers, Free Transfer Dado Prso - From Monaco, Free Transfer Alex Rae - From Wolverhampton Wonderers, Free Transfer Gavin Rae - From Dundee, £250,000 Julien Rodriguez - From Monaco, 1 million Steven Thompson - From Dundee United, £250,000 Paolo Vanoli - From Bologna, Free Transfer Gregory Vignal - From Liverpool (loan), Ronald Waterreus - From Manchester City, £100,000 Apart from a few blatant duds, i.e. Ostenstad, Maniero, Bonisell and Jeffers I think big Eck actually did well when you look at the list. I always assosciated him with signing absolute pish mostly!Waterreus for £100K and Boumsong/Marv/Prso/Hemdani/Berg/De Boer/Kyriakos all on a free were great pieces of business. Also add that to the goals Novo and Boyd gave us for under £1 million and I'd say he did really well with such a limited budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimfanciesthedude 25,043 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 eck was the only rangers manager i know to make a transfer profit apparently. To deliver the success he did under those financial constraints was amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 19,114 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Signed from Barcelona for a fee of around £6 million in 2002, Mikel Arteta was a promising Spanish U-21 midfield player who enjoyed two seasons in Glasgow. Arteta was a McLeish signing judging by the date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McLeish didn't want to sign him he could have said no but he he didn't, he went ahead and signed him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
