same shit, different transfer window

4.5million let him go lose one get two

[Zulu 981]

He should bite their hand off for 4.5 mil as far as im concerned hes not worth a million.

[ExiledWeegie123 1,265]

id take 4.5 for him but as long as we bring in 2 decent centre halfs with the cash.

[pcbear 10,924]

It would be nice to keep a decent player longer than it takes the ink to dry on their feckin contract.

inks too dear at ibrox these days,its a fountain pencil they use for contracts,can be rubbed out and reworded any way SDM see's fit

thats just a rehash of his online view yesterday with the quotes isolated. Not saying Boogie isnt going but Shirley the headline could have been "I may not be able to stop Charlie Adam leaving" as well.

we could potentially get stranzl and tonel with the money we get from bougherra but whos to say they will settle quickly. I wouldnt be that disappointed if we sold bougherra in the summer but i dont want him to go in january as it will weaken our team as our central defenders will take a while to gel.

[Jardy 0]

im sure walter would spend the money wisely.

[Steely 58]

I wouldn;t mind punting him for that kind of money. Can get two good CB's with the money. Tonel and Stranzl.

[dpRFC1 3]

it happens every season

[rfc_no1fan 13]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt Madjid under contract and can only leave if we accept an offer for him.

Walter, you can stop him until the summer, but you wont cause you have surrendered the league

[Emerson 2]

Sounds as though he is off doesnt it? I wish they would just come clean about all these deals instead of treating us like idiots.

smeltic please edit your post (thanks admins)

If the boogie man is punted out the door and his replacment is neilson, then smith can kiss my ass and leave.

[MosesMcNeil 1,664]

Can't help but wonder if Magic has the same fee-triggering clause that saw Cuellar head off for a career on Villa's benches.

[chris_glasgow 2]

the thing is what happens if we sell him and bring in Tonel and Stranzl they impress then the EPL come calling they will be off

[Danny 9]

5M would be brilliant for Bougherra. Take that and get a good defender instead with the money.

Also goes to show if he does go, as looks certain, that once again a player has lied about wanting to stay.

Thing is, this time I have to say you guys have been a lot more cynical - I didn't see too many falling for his 'I am happy and staying' routine. And I'm glad to see that because it means the outrage when he does go will be a lot less.

[Guest Andypendek]

All this buying then selling is all very well, and I'm all for making a profit, but we have to have home grown players who are willing to stay for 5 years or so to form a basis to the team. You can't change the majority of the side every June and expect to win things! We've got Alexander, Broadfoot, Thomson and Miller we can say will be there for the next 3 years or so...4 players out of a pool of about 28?

I hope Walter starts bringing through players soon, we can't go on like this.

[Amac9 2,060]

He says he may not be able to hold onto Bougherra but if Newcastle offered £3 million for Ferguson then Smith would drag his heels in and refuse to sell.

[Chef 436]

at the end of the day if the player aint wanting to be here get him to fuck, our prob is the oposite, they wanna stay and we want them out.

does ma titties in when adam and co say there gonna fight for a spot, i aint seen any fight in any of them
