Clemdog 39,389 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Exactly, after this window shuts. We'll be setting up 4-2-3-1.These last couple of days of this transfer window are going to be torture Definitely. I want the most money we can get for Jelavic..But I don't want this one going down to the wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,398 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Really interesting !McCoist knows we will have to play alot of this Season with 1 man upfront.Boyd cannot do that.I think McCoist wants to play with 1 upfront and that is the reason he has been looking at bringing in creative from the wide areas and midfield.

Weird_Beard 99 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just get it done Rangers.He wants to go, the deal is decent - lets not piss about until the last ten minutes, however convenient that would be.When did he say he wanted to go? If the club are not forcing him out the door then he will stay. He said so. I guess it doesn't matter what he says though. Seems to me like he is the scapegoat for our financial short coming because he's our best (most expensive player) I think he's getting a raw deal off the majority of our fans. It sickens me.I hope he's still here come Feb 1st. I bet he won't get anywhere near the abuse and made up stories about him on that day.

albluenose1990 29 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Can't see this as true unless there's plenty of add on's to give us security in the future.

Ger for life 199 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 What we must all remember is that Jelavic has no emotional ties to Rangers or indeed to the SPL. His agent will be also be looking to get a good deal which will be financially beneficial to both Jela and himself (the agent).Jela has made no secret of his intention to play at a higher level. We can't criticise him for this and we can only hope that a contingency plan exists to replace him.As I have posted at length on another thread in this forum, I have followed Rangers over four decades and have dealt with the highs and the lows.We can but hope that there is salvation which will lead us to 4 in a row, but we must also accept that if we are true Rangers fans we will accept and continue our support if this does not materialise.

deleteduser1 169 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 This is joke , right?This has to be be the strangest bidding war in the history of football. Sounds as if the press are trying to put pressure on Rangers to sell Jela before the price drops to 1.5 million or less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,288 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sun reporting it as £8million. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/4095766/Everton-set-for-8m-Jelavic-bid.html#ixzz1ktbxVAK2 EVERTON are poised to table an £8million bid for Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic. And Ibrox manager Ally McCoist is weighing up a deadline-busting swoop for Hearts starlet David Templeton IF the Croatian hitman is sold. SunSport can reveal Everton approached Gers last night, but no formal offer was made. Toffees gaffer David Moyes is a long-time admirer of Jelavic and tried to sign him before he moved to Ibrox two years ago. Everton will use the cash from the £5m sale of Russian winger Diniyar Bilyaletdinov to Spartak Moscow to help finance the Jelavic swoop. Moyes is in the market for firepower, with his shot-shy Blues scoring just 22 goals in 22 Premiership games this season. And Jelavic, who has netted 30 times in 45 SPL games for Gers following his £4m move from Rapid Vienna two years ago, fits the bill. Sunderland, West Ham and Liverpool have all shown an interest in the Croat, yet no one has been able to match Gers' £10m valuation. But with just 48 hours before the transfer window closes, Everton are set to up the ante. SunSport understands Hammers manager Sam Allardyce hasn't given up hope of luring Jela to Upton Park, but Gers could find Everton's offer hard to resist. Any sale now would leave McCoist with little time to secure a big-name replacement. SunSport understands Norwich striker Grant Holt remains at the top of his list. But Tynecastle wide boy Templeton has now emerged as a target if McCoist is given funds to add to his squad. The Gers boss rates the 23-year-old highly and hopes he could be given the cash to sign him in a shock deal. Hearts are likely to be open to business, with owner Vladimir Romanov eager to reduce the club's wage bill. Gers are also set to send Spanish flop Juan Ortiz to Almeria. Meanwhile, Jelavic's mentor has laughed off Neil Warnock's claims he is not worth £10m. Zoran Vulic gave Jelavic his pro debut at Hadjuk Split. He said: "When I read the quotes from Warnock I was very annoyed. He is completely wrong. "Chelsea paid £50m for Fernando Torres and Liverpool spent £35m to buy Andy Carroll. "If you paid these figures for these players, how can you not value Jelavic at £10m?"The problem is Jelavic still hasn't played in one of the big leagues and that will keep the price down ... also we pretty much have to sell which again makes buying clubs think there is a bargain to be had Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermopylae 15,288 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Perhaps Whyte already has some idea of how the tax case is going to go and knows we need the money? That's the problem everything is up in the air just now .We will never get top dollar for our players because we are an SPL club ... if Andy Carroll had only ever played up here there is no way we would have got anything like £35 million for him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not going to speculate on the tax case however this deal is looking like £7/8million in total with £3.5million up front, for whatever reason a few people got wind of this, put out that we had accepted £3.5million and then a lot of mess ensued. Look at it this way mate, if we really did need the money why knock back bids of millions more to accept a bid of less than when we bought him? Doesn't make sense, will be an interesting 48hours ahead and lets hope Ally has someone lined up when the next party joins the bidding Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewballsoz 17 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 We need Jela to stay.Keep him and let him go to Euro champs and score plenty and hell come back worth 15mill quid Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'd like him to stay but I'm pretty sure he will be gone within the next 48 hours. Hope we get one or two more players in.

Gaffbear 4,107 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 We knock back £7.2 plus a player and accept £3.5mIf true Whyte will be hung from the yard arm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornelius11 74 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Metro has it at 6.5 million plus bonus money depending on goals. Its all speculation just now. Surely we wouldn't knock back 7 million then accept half of that sum later? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBluebells 6,898 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 For everyone saying about us accepting £3.5million, it looks like it is a bid of around £6/7/8million but with the sum of £3.5million up front, poor journalism and twitter speculation has led to the confusion with this bid.Relax people, im sure we will know soon......In 48 hours Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
