Broxi 11,886 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Rangers manager Ally McCoist claims he has not been told by owner Craig Whyte to offload players before he can strengthen his squad this month.The Ibrox boss is keen to make use of the January window to bolster his resources, with attacking options even more of a priority now that Kyle Lafferty has been sidelined for around seven weeks through injury.McCoist has held talks with the chairman and says Whyte is in agreement that new players must be recruited over the next few weeks. He said: "I sat down and had a good chat with Craig. He is of the same opinion as myself. There has not been an exact figure in terms of how much cash we have to spend or what we need to do."He added: "But I would reassure you that he is as keen to bring players in - especially in the forward areas - as I am. Any activity you would rather have sooner rather than later but I can't control that."We do have players we have targeted and will hopefully move for but in terms of a timescale I can't give you one unfortunately. I've had a couple of meetings with Craig and he did not say to me that we needed to get players out to get players in."Like any business, that would probably be his perfect solution but he didn't say that to me and he is as aware as I am that we need to be strengthened."McCoist has been linked with two former Rangers strikers, Nacho Novo and Kris Boyd, but insists no moves have been made to bring either back to Ibrox so far.He said: "We haven't put any bid in for Nacho and we haven't spoken to his agent or spoken to Nacho and that's where we are at the moment."Boydy had a fantastic and phenomenal goalscoring record here, a fantastic period here. He is the same as Nacho. We haven't made any bid at all."It would be unfair to do anything until we spoke to the lad himself or his agent. I'm not in a position to rule anybody in but I certainly wouldn't rule anything out at all for anybody." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloo suede 4 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Agree with the poster above (RFC 52). The press conference (or rsa meeting , can't remember which) states that numbers cannot increase. That refers to both costs as well as squad numbers.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 An interview full of bluster with no substance and as vague and as contradictory as everything else we here from him.

Which would make sense, considering it's Gordon Smith that's dealing with this now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycassidy1802 37 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I love Ally McCoist, but either he is contradicting himself, or he's now being contradicted and having to say this, guess we just need to wait and see... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz, Ally aint working in the mhedia no more, this aint Question of Sport ffs, one liners and jokes are not welcome when fans want the truth and answers.
