FlippinEck 3,748 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Cuellar the latest to interest boss Keane By Paul Fraser SUNDERLAND are ready to challenge Newcastle United for the signature of Rangers defender Carlos Cuellar. Manager Roy Keane still wants to secure the services of Jonny Evans from Manchester United this summer, but Sir Alex Ferguson is reluctant to let the Northern Irishman leave. And that has forced Keane into a rethink, particularly after it emerged another of his leading defensive targets, Richard Dunne, looks certain to stay with Manchester City following the appointment of Mark Hughes. The Sunderland boss personally checked out Cuellar towards the end of last season and is now preparing to make a move for the £8m-rated centre-back. But Keane faces competition for the former Osasuna man, with Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan known to regard the 26-year-old highly. Cuellar has been in discussions with Rangers over signing a new contract and those close to him have insisted that he is willing to commit his long-term future to Ibrox. But there remains a feeling in Glasgow that if the club's valuation is met during the course of the summer the Gers would seriously consider selling. The asking price, with Rangers unwilling to consider a sale unless an offer somewhere near to the £9m Tottenham paid for Alan Hutton in January arrives, is certainly within reach of Sunderland. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/display.v..._boss_keane.php Teamtalk says they will make him their highest paid player in the history of the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,748 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Getting to the UEFA Cup final probably convinced Carlos that the club can to at least some extent get somewhere, I am sure he will be determined to stay for at least another season and win the league! He was so happy with the trophies we won it was fantastic and im sure he will want more, something he wont get at newcastle or sunderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledWeegie123 1,275 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 im confident who in their right mind would want to goto either newcastle or sunderland maybe if a decent club like spurs/man city/liverpool came in for him then id maybe worry a wee bit but the king isnt daft.

jbm26896 995 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 hopefully Carlos will stay the only attraction for him would be the EPL , he will have an ambition to play against the top players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog 11 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 £8m isn't even close to how much they'd need to pay for us to sell him. He's far more integral to the team than Hutton was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 i still think , if we recieved an offer of £10m , he would be sold I think he should be valued at around £15m , in todays market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the bears ba's 1 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 i still think , if we recieved an offer of £10m , he would be sold I think he should be valued at around £15m , in todays market Just tell anyone that shows an interest in Carlos, "it's £20 million just to talk to him", after all it's what other clubs do.

rfc_no1fan 13 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 This is only good for Rangers. If he eventually wants to leave, we can make teams bid against each other. More clubs interested, the better **Not saying we should sell** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imodium 412 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 If Cuellar was playing in the EPL right now, with say Bolton, he would be priced at £12m minimum. They pay stupid money for players based in England yet offer peanuts for players based outside it. They tell us it is the best league in the world - paying the highest transfer fees/wages doesn't make it the best league IMO. If we let Cuellar go this year - regardless of the price - it will totally piss of the fans and players. I don't believe we will sell him and have faith that he will stay untill he at least wins a league championship medal. Despite the success Hutton has had down south, I'm sure he would have been more than willing to see 07/08 season out and aim for championship and to be a part of the UEFA Cup run.

Andy 69 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 To be succesful you dont sell your Best player . and leave Weir to partner .. Broadfoot ? But I think if he played well down in England hed have a better chance of getting a game for Spain ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose_72 198 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 first of all, there is no way we should sell our best player. second of all, if we do sell him then there is no way it should be to that tim cunt! GTF keane ya prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andypendek Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 15m as a kick off, if anyone offers 12 I'd take it, but I'd be crying for days and days afterwards. But in the end, we can't afford to turn that money down unless we get an owner who is willing to dig very, very deep into his own pockets. Murray, however much I don't mind him, isn't going to do that. So we better face reality - bifg offer, big man gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_ni 12 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 GTF keane. King Carlos is going NOWHERE. I am confident he will still be here at the end of the transfer window. Cant see him wanting to go to a mid table english side with no chance of european football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
