According to Scott Burns on twitter we had loan bids rejected for Newcastle and Spurs players.

I know some people will be chuffed as most of us would rather we were bleeding in our own youngsters but it'd be interesting to see who we went for.

Just glad the transfer window is shut and we got temepelton. We got offered tempelton last year and couldn't sign him because of the money side of things.

We have plenty of players and attacking players at that.

Now our team can get settled and used to each other. And we see some more of our youth players coming through again.

So i don't know what people are worried about.

:uk:

Cisse, Van Der Vaart and Bale.

The fact we didn't get them shows that Green is only here for the money!

As I said in another thread, we tried to get Paul Dummett (reserves captain) and offer was accepted but St Mirren came in and took him on loan until January. We also tried to sign Nile Ranger ( :sherlock: ) but were too busy with the Templeton and McGowan deals so couldn't conclude it on time, the lad was keen on coming up to play some games as well...

i don't think for one minute we tried to get cudicini on loan...to sit on the bench in SFL Div 3!!! Alexander is on 12k a week so was always going to be number 1 this season, and deseverdly so.

aye i would agree with this,, Cudicini wouldve been a waste of a wage in my opinion, even if we were only paying a percentage of it

ALLY McCOIST planned to restructure his Rangers squad — but was only able to being in one Temp.

SunSport can reveal the Ibrox manager held contract talks with SEVEN other players on the transfer deadline day.

Hearts ace David Templeton was top of his list with McCoist able to sign him on a four-year deal. But the Gers boss was left frustrated with the names he ultimately missed out on.

Former Reading defender Andre Bikey, 27, travelled to Glasgow for talks and was even given a guided TOUR of Ibrox — only to return south without putting pen to paper.

Stopper Bikey was prepared to play in the Third Division but it’s understood that talks collapsed because of the wages on offer.

Four other moves also fell by the wayside in the hours and then minutes before the window shut.

As we exclusively revealed last week Templeton’s Tynecastle team-mate Ryan McGowan was on McCoist’s wish-list.

The Aussie was given permission to hold talks with Gers at Murray Park but at the 11th hour the midfielder snubbed the move, fearing playing in the Scottish Third Division would wreck his international career.

We can now reveal McCoist also made a bold attempt to lure Jambos skipper Marius Zaliukas to Ibrox but ran out of time to strike an agreement.

Two other deals were discussed for Genk midfielder Elyaniv Barda and DC United striker Hamdi Salihi, who was Nikica Jelavic’s team-mate at Rapid Vienna.

Cardiff City’s Israeli stopper Dekel Keinan was also a possibility alongside his team-mate and Wales striker Robert Earnshaw. In the end, Ibrox chief Charles Green only sanctioned the deal for Templeton with McCoist now unable to sign any more players for the next 16 MONTHS due to their signing ban.

That leaves him seriously short of personnel after watching first-team players Kirk Broadfoot, Mo Edu and Carlos Bocanegra join the list of star players to exit.

McCoist has signed Dean Shiels, Kevin Kyle, Ian Black and Francisco Sandaza from the SPL — with Sebastien Faure, Emilson Cribari and Anestis Argyriou also joining the club.

McCoist, unable to add to his squad till 2014, said: “It’s important for everyone to remember where we are in the rebuilding process and that we are building for the future.”

Parts of that article might be true, but a lot of it is spun, exagerated and worded in a way that makes it look like 1) Green doesn't have the funded that he promised to deliver players and he is another Craig Whyte 2) Rangers don't have the pull that they once had and 3) plant the seed that McCoist is frustrated with Green for not backing him and they can run stories about the "friction" between them further down the line.

Does anybody truly believe that McCoist wanted seven players with four of them being defenders (after already bringing in three defenders) and two of them being strikers (after bringing in three strikers).

That would have left our squad hugely bloated, and with a massive wage ill for the level we are playing at, and with that being one of the key factors that lead to our downfall I can't see it being true.
