TAM Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 If Rangers are wanting 3 keepers then why would they want to sell one of them? They have McGregor & Alexander as no 1 & 2 and then Smith currently as no 3. If they bring in Howard then Smith would be sold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mon_da_well Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 You seem to be forgetting that the other Smith is shite and hasn't played for over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain7_mfc Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Why can't they just have a youngster as their 3rd keeper? Howard would be silly to move there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Howard would be silly to move there! $$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Howard would be silly to move there! It would depend on how much they are willing to pay him I guess. If it's a bit more than he's getting at St Mirren then maybe he'll see the move as being worth thinking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 it was just on the radio that porter has signed a pre contract to join nottm forest in the summer.it says he may still leave in january if the two clubs can agree a fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orinoco Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 If true, thanks ports for your contribution last season and all the best, but enjoy reserve football for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discodave Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 what do people think of andy kirk of dimfermine? he used to do a good job with hearts a few years back and i see hes getting a few goals in the first div. hes more mobile than sutton or porter, and would probably be quite useful in a front 3. wont think he would cost that much what youz think?

TAM Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I heard MM's interview on the radio this morning. I was struck by the mention of looking to get maybe a few loans in and do some swaps!! So if we are looking to swap who do you think will be heading out and where to? A few ideas to start things off - purely based on previous rumours and 2+2=5! Darren Smith for McCallister of Morton Kenny Connolly for McKay or Davidson at Livi Any more??

Rickoza Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Not going to throw any names at this one, but can't wait to see who will make what suggestions. Can imagine there's going to be a few........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well-army Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Personaly I see mcghee trying to get some loan signings in. Don't see many swaps as he would be looking to get strength in depth rather than have the same numbers he alredy has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see many swaps as he would be looking to get strength in depth rather than have the same numbers he alredy has On interview on Real Radio this morning he mentioned 'some swaps' that suggests more than 1!! I do agree though that swaps seem strange given the lack of depth in our squad. I would rather give more youngsters a chance than bring in expensive loans. Slane looked good pre-season. McHugh looked good at end of last season v Hibs. Saunders hasn't done anything wrong and Hutchison has had good reviews. Also looks like Cowie has signed a pre-contract with Utd and Black a pre-contract with FHW. Shame but doubt we could have matched thier wages without trimming our wage bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 dont know if he has been mentioned before, but Gordon Greer could be an option for us, did well at Killie, out of contract in the summer and a 6`2 physical centre half!! And as long as his wage demands werent shocking, Id go for Gregorz Szamotulski in a heartbeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnsleyFCFan Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Is Porter definitely off? You should put in a bid for Kayode Odejayi, big powerful striker...just needs a bit of confidence to help him find his scoring boots and he could get a bagful. What about the big Rangers clear-out? Fancy any of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Like to think that, this time, Mark will get the guys we need to not only ensure survival, but give us a squad capable enough of climbing that table again. More than ever, this is going to be one crucial transfer window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelBoyd Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I think that Mark's ambition is stifled by Bhoyles tightfistedness, hes too shortsighted to see that spending now will benefit in terms of the clubs position, but hopefully a few new faces, but again, we need people to start building, in escence a new team looking at the guys out of contract at the end of the season, a lot of rebuilding may be needed!!!

That be the tightfistedness that sanctioned double your money contracts to McGhee and Leitch? Granted I don't think Boyle is opening his own purse strings unless he thinks he'll get a return and I'd love some half sane Well fan to win £100m on the euromillions(ideally me) and buy up the club and try and take us forward with just a little ambition. But is it not shorsighted at a club with limited resources to see such a whack taken out of your budget to line your own pockets with? Diverted into the playing side and keeping us at least in/close to the pack in the european hunt would far better to advance his long term career prospects.
