Guest Andypendek Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 one of our promising players, it would appear, is about to sign for spurs. they have offered a deal worth around 7-8m, and the player stands to become a fantastically wealthy young man. those are the things we can say with some certainty. here are some things we can put down as rumour, gossip and innuendo: he doesn't want to leave as he wants a medal before he goes his gf wants to stay in scotland as she is pregnant he is being forced out the door at ibrox villanous, moustachioed and evil, david murray doesn't care about the fans rangers are only interested in money, not cups oh, and here's one other thing we can say with 100% conviction: the fans calling the radio shows and the papers have done more to damage rangers this season than all the decisions taken by insane, top hatted victorian stage baddie david murray. here's the reality. we have got a fantastic, quite frankly amazing price for a player who has had a good 12 months. not even 12 months! not only that, a player whose position can be filled by players of equal ability for a lot less cash. it just so happens that we may well have one already in steven whittaker, however it seems already that some have made up their minds that he's crap...just like hutton was, as well. at any rate, we won't have to play anyone out of position at RB, like a certain team also based in glasgow...who have decided that despite having a dodgy keeper, a makeshift, over physical, lumbering defence, plus a midfield that has been posted missing for the last 2 months, they need extra cover up front and have signed samaras. he may well turn out a good signing, he did well in holland, another dark, rainy country, but not one on which people kick your ankles. time will tell on that one. my point here is that as usual strachan has failed to assess where his side is weak, and gone for someone to finish chances his team aren't creating. throwing away the league by selling hutton? catch a grip of yourselves! if AH comes out and says psychotic, cape wearing neer do well david murray tied him to the railway lines and drove a locomotive at him, threatening to run him over unless he signed for spurs while at the same time leering in a menacing fashion at his expectant girlfriend, all the while doing a laugh like the hooded claw, then i'll agree that he was harshly treated and that murray, last seen running off with a large sack marked 'swag' over his shoulder, is guilty as charged, and is attempting to run rangers into the ground. plainly, in his unhinged mind, this is the best way to make the club attractive to a new buyer. until that day comes, though, i shall continue to see this as excellent business for rangers and that those who have chosen to play into the hands of the media are the ones hurting the club.

MisterC 12,389 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Great post as per usual mate. I'd be disappointed if no clubs were bidding good money for our players. Take it as a compliment to Rangers and Scottish football that our players are back in vogue. Scottish football and Rangers are far from the wounded beasts we were a few years ago.

MisterC 12,389 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 We will still win the title. One player does not make a team. One other thing, a guy I spoke to at uni was saying Huttons due a leg break due to all the heavy challenges he's getting. Look at the one on Saturday for example. We have made a lot of money out of this and its more in the kitty for the summer, when stage 2 of Walters rebuilding mission takes place. We are a work in progress and that has to be funded somehow. If that means selling players who play in positions we have cover in then fine, as long as we get a good price for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minstral 5,375 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 one thing you should never be is to be ashamed of being a rangers man, and if thats how you feel then perhaps you shold just pack it in, never be ashamed no matter what happens even if we all dont agree with certain things that happen at the club. just hold your head up high and remember that we are chosen to follow our great club, and through good times and bad times we still love our special club and we are the people and always will be.

Ted E Bayer 488 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Good post but for me one major flaw is the following: not only that, a player whose position can be filled by players of equal ability for a lot less cash. What Hutton offered us with his athleticism and lung busting runs going forward, taking pressure off our defense and turning defense into attack won't be replaced with anything we currently have and anything we are likely to purchase in this or any other transfer window in the near future. Maybe I rate him higher than you do. Just my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
