Ally19713 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Dont know if it was his decision, or if he was co-erced. And I dont really care. Fact is, he had the chance to come to Rangers and make it happen. He chose West Ham. We're chasing four trophies including a european one. He's chasing points against some ridiculously crap english teams and survival in the EPL mid table. As we used to say at school.... Nae joy, gay boy.

JohnGalbraith 0 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 He was more than willing to come to us but we only offered something like 5 million and West Ham gave the French mob thier 7 million or whatever asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe tjays true. i think we offerd 6m and it was haggled over in order for the club to get their inflated price from west ham. negotiations like that are always swayed by the players own wishes. and i think he and his club used us.

mithrandir713 8 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 It's like that fellow we tried to procure in January, but chose Breccia. What sort of ambition do these guys have? A chance at champions league football every year.... Does Scottish football have that bad a reputation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally62 393 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The guy crocked himself in preseason & is only now startin to get back in to first team.. We needed players from day one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 West Ham are a pretty decent sized club who play in the EPL. They bought Julien Faubert for a little over £6.1m plus the wages. I very much doubt we'd of benn able to pay that for one player?! Look at what has happened to Faubert, serious injury, comes back and picks up another. These injuries might of cost him his major asset, his pace. I'm not too bothered that we missed out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

excoriate 0 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Ruptured achilles followed by a knock to his knee then a groin injury. Safe to say his pace will definitely be affected, as will his general ability to shake off similar injuries to those areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Pace and power was his game. I hope it doesn't effect him. WHU fans dont think he'll be the same and they never really rated him. Before his injury, I thought he was quality. Still only 23 or 24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 69 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 In JCD's Interview he said that he was talking to Faubert on the phone and he said he would do everything to try to come. Rangers just couldnt afford him at the time. Should a Deal have been made he would most deffinately chose Rangers over West Ham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Lucky we never agreed a deal. £6.1m down the drain and a footballer who could potential never re-discover his form on big wages and a long contract. Guess it's the chance you take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

strider 0 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 We might care next season, as rumours have been circulating about a move to Rangers in the summer for Faubert. As for the "does Scottish football really have that bad a reputation" question, the answer to that is yes. No matter how well we do in Europe, and how well he plays, Cuellar won't be involved in the Spain squad. If he played that well for any side in the Premiership, he'd be called up instantly.

mark_ni 12 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 we were outbid by west ham otherwise he would have came here. Sadly we just dont have the money to spend £6m+ on one player. Just look at what happened to him anyway. Imagine if we had spent half our budget on one player and he was injured before he kicked a ball for us. It was bad enough with webster. Sadly we are are better off signing 3 £2m players than 1 £6m player. At least if one gets injured we still have the other 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR 1,480 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Wasnt He Linked With Us To Come Here In The Summer? If you mean last summer he was more than linked, we were interested and he allegedly wanted to come but we were outbid by West Ham. If you mean his summer...yes it appears the link is being made again, however probably just more media speculation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...a player does not have to go to the club that offers the largest transfer fee. That's not really his concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
