Or has someone extra special ben keeping him out? PLG did want him to stay, as he was a free agent he and he alone chose to move, obviously he got a bigger signing on fee because he was a free agent.

McBoyd 355 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Peter Lovenkrands is willing to accept a token wage to return to Rangers after being released by Schalke 04. Lovenkrands returned to his Glasgow home yesterday with his wife and child and has been offered training facilities at Murray Park by the manager, Walter Smith. Rangers have consistently ruled out a return for the attacker for financial reasons but sources close to the Dane last night claimed he is prepared to reject all interested parties - Blackburn Rovers, West Ham United, Villarreal and Marseille - to stay in Scotland. The 28-year-old earned £40,000 per week at Schalke and has received a severance package for the remaining six months of his contract. He has made around £5m in total since joining Rangers from AB Copenhagen in 1999 and, while he could earn around £20,000 per week elsewhere, he will make it known to Rangers that he will accept a rate of pay in line with lower-ranking first-team players in order to stay in Glasgow for the sake of his family Lovenkrands admitted his regret at leaving Rangers despite the Germans doubling his salary. "There have been times when I have wondered what would have happened if I had stayed on and then had the chance to work under Walter Smith, Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall, all of whom I know are good men," he said. "I was not to know things were going to work out the way they have. That is hard to take at times." Lovenkrands would be welcomed back by the majority of the Rangers support and could provide a cost-effective solution to the left midfield problem. Charlie Adam has been told he can leave, Lee McCulloch is attracting interest from Ipswich Town, Rangers will listen to offers for winger DaMarcus Beasley while Kyle Lafferty, who is out with a knee injury, will be given a run up front when he recovers. Whilst i'm glad to hear that Lovenkrands is happy to take a MAJOR pay cut to be back here with his family and join our team, he can provide back up or maybe finally be played in the position he is best in? The most interesting part is in bold. Adam told he can leave Lee McCulloch attracting interesting from Ipswich Town, maybe its not all bad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Would he take a massive drop in wages? If he wants to move back to Glasgow and Rangers then he'd have to - if he wants it that bad then money wont matter! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Adam scenario is no surprise, don't think McCulloch would actually agree to go to Ipswich, and as for the possibility of Lovenkrands returning, well irrespective of any pay cut it would really depend on which players do leave and how many. Apart from all that how much of this is actually factual as I don't see any definitive quotes from any player or management team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_RFC 41 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Would he take a massive drop in wages? If he wants to move back to Glasgow and Rangers then he'd have to - if he wants it that bad then money wont matter! He has said he would take a cut in wages, you can't argue with that. A lot of teams are after Lovenkrands, and if we get him on a free on a reduced wage, we will have done a very good deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money doesn't matter i'm sure this time around, he said he'd take a wage cut to join his family back in glasgow, and obviously us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was quoted as saying he'd happily take a cut from £40,000 to being paid what the lower earners of our club are paid, so he can rejoin us and be with his family. I'd like to see him played through the middle too. But, you could take bets now he'll be on the LW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play him ahead of everyone in a 4-5-1 and, with Boyd in a 4-4-2. And, given he is only 28 still, and, on a free, willing to take low wages, it SHOULD be a no brainer, a real no brainer. A pacy striker, with experience of SPL AND europe, scores against big teams, why are they even stalling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the very few I would take back my man. Him up front with distribution from Mendes & Davis? Awesome that would be. Plus, in Europe, we would actually be dangerous on the counter!
