Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Had a text from a mate of mine in Belgium who says Rangers are being linked with Steven Defour. This guy is a Genk fan and Defour was with Genk before he went to Standard Liege. Even though he left Genk under acrimonious circumstances this guy still raves about him. Described as a midfield playmaker, he is only 21 but has already been capped by Belgium nearly 20 times. Apparently Ajax are also interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Would love to have him, but will never happen...he'll no doubt cost a fortune! And I think Arsenal is interested... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Brown Brogue Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Aye and I'm sure we can afford the 20 million Arsenal, Man Utd etc have been rumoured to be willing to pay for him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blyth 3 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 About a snowball's chance in hell of us signing Defour, he is absolutely brilliant and has some major clubs after him. If we could afford guys like this, our 'scouts' wouldn't be wasting their time watching mediocre SPL players like messrs Shields and Wilkie. We can only dream of having someone like Defour, or his mate Witsel from Liege. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Come on guys, there is a perfectly rational reason for this. Once we sell Dailly to Inter Milan, Burke to Real, and McCulloch to Chelsea and get the 20 million from that, then we can buy Defour! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 :McBoyd: I will text him back and tell him If I had recieved a text like that I'd have burst out laughing. Defour is Standard Liege's captain, he's the golden boy of Belgian football and he'd probably command a figure close to Marouane Fellaini, if not more! We could sell our whole squad and still not be able to afford him(that's actually quite depressing) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
