ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 DANNY SHITTU swears he's still desperate to join Rangers - despite insisting the club caused the collapse of his proposed switch to Glasgow. Manager Walter Smith - who discovered last night DaMarcus Beasley will miss both legs of their Champions League qualifier - revealed Gers pulled the plug on the £1.5 million swoop due to the 27-year-old's wage demands. Rangers had agreed the fee with Watford but the move fell through because the Nigerian wanted £20,000 a week. Shittu, however, claimed Rangers altered the personal deal on offer after an initial bid of £1.2m was knocked back by Watford. But, as his advisers attempt to reopen negotiations with Rangers, the stopper says he has not given up on a move . Shittu said: "I was prepared to join Rangers. They put a proposal on the table which was acceptable but when the contract was put in writing the deal had changed. That is where the breakdown in the talks came about. "There is other interest out there but my first choice remains Rangers and I believe a deal can be done." Beasley, who hobbled out of the game against Preussen Munster, has a hamstring problem and could miss both legs of the Champions League qualifier against Kaunas or Santa Coloma. Kyle Lafferty and Carlos Cuellar are unlikely to face Sportfreund Lotte tomorrow but are expected to be ready for Saturday's game against Schalke. Meanwhile, new signing Andrius Velicka joined Rangers in Germany last night. Another great plan for Bain and Smith to Save money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 762 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Well, can see his point for trying to save money. An extra £300k in transfer money is similar to an extra £3k or £4k a week over 2 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 So you believe a player over the club ? who's to know who is right or wrong ... each is trying to make themselves out the injured party. Anyway, Shittu seems to want to ressurect the deal, suggesting he is willing to lower his wage demands to allow both parties to meet somewhere in the middle, as is usually the case when negotiations are carried our over any contract.

johnny123 5 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 If the player is correct in what he is saying then Bain should be ashamed of himself. Another shambles of a transfer deal. Regarding the question of who to believe ,the player or the club , then going by previous I'd tend to side with the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 1,480 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The fact is we don't know, and I for one am not going to jump to conclusions... that's for the Mhedia. (By the way this is already posted in the "Shittu" thread ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishBear 34 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I think in this regard I would trust the club over a MGB. Not wanting to appear racist, but, Nigeria is home to a lot of scam artists. Suchy definitely appears the better option. Younger, more mobile, won't lose him to the ACN, more likely to receive a fee etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 So you believe a player over the club ? What exactly was the clubs explanation over the failure to do a deal? We couldn't meet his demands, so why did we initially tell him that we would? As for not believing Shittu, why would he lie? Telling lies to the media would scupper any chances he has of the move he seems so desperate for. The club is an absolute shambles when it comes to transfers.

jbm26896 995 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 he is a decent player , but not at £20k per week we would the have 7 Centre Backs at the club in the 1st team squad Broadfoot , Weir , Cuellar , Webster, Dailly , Papac and Shittu or are we planning to sell one or two of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 7 CB's but only 1 of them is good enough, Carlos Cuellar. Sasa Papac is never a CB and he's shown that he's settled in the LB position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
