Ibroxblue 122 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 "WALTER SMITH admitted today he can't wait forever for the signing targets he wants to rebuild his Rangers squad.The Ibrox club have lodged bids this week totalling more than £6.5m for three players - and all were rejected.Bordeaux kicked out an opening offer of £4m for French international midfielder Julien Faubert.Reports in France say they want £7m for the player, who has walked out and refused to train after telling Bordeaux he wants them to sell him to Rangers.Wigan have still not agreed a fee for Lee McCulloch, and a second bid for Kilmarnock's Stevie Naismith has also been turned down.Chief Executive Martin Bain continues to press ahead for the players Smith wants on top of the five he's signed - Alan Gow, Kirk Broadfoot, Jean-Claude Darcheville, DaMarcus Beasley and Graeme Smith.It is believed he has spent this week in Europe working on two more deals, outwith those already known...."http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/displa..._on_forever.php Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Wonder who the other couple of unknowns are, unless one of them is Cuellar.I think we've agreed a fee in principle for McCulloch £2.2 million, but part of the problem is the current Webster scenario which could be causing some of the problems.Rangers should offer £5 mil for Faubert, and they should accept, better having the money in the bank rather than an unhappy player.I really don't think we need Naismith so don't care if he comes or not.

trueblue1872 2 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I think these deals we don't know about are back ups incase we don't land the likes of Faubert and McCulloch (heard today there's a prob with his deal going through) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Sounds like Smith wants 5 more players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue1872 2 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I think this Rat situation is a load of BS. Only time we've been linked with him is when he came out and said we were looking at him. We see players do that all the time and nothing comes of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan 23 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 They can't honestly want 7m for Faubert and expect to sign Mvumba (sp?) for 5m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 They can't honestly want 7m for Faubert and expect to sign Mvumba (sp?) for 5m?Exactly, this is the reported angle the agent has been coming from also, I think if Rangers bid 5 mill they'll get him.In fact offer them £4.5 mil and throw in Papac and SeboEdit: oops, forgot about Sionko!

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Fowler - I saw him in the chippy outside Murray Park Why don't Rangers offer Fowler a deal for two seasons, forget Naismith, and if Naismith improves even slightly as a player can try and buy him in the final season of his contract.
