Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 31, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2011 Don't like the sound of this.. Â Blackburn Rovers forward El Hadji Diouf is travelling to Glasgow to conduct talks with Rangers over a deadline day move, STV understands. The Senegalese international could agree a loan deal to play for the Ibrox club until the end of the season. http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-prem...el-hadji-diouf/ Â EDIT: Should be in the transfer window thread. Sorry about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well, they have to get someone to replace Miller, don't they? And they aren't exactly flush with resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylin_and_Profilin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Dunfermline have sold Willie Gibson to Crawley Town for an undisclosed six-figure fee. In addition to Steven Bell being injured for the season thats us lost our, and arguably the leagues, best two players. Be amazed if we get promotion now.

Gatso Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 done deal Kyle Bartley on his way as well  Bartley is highly rated at ours and has impressed in reserve/youth games. Surprised we have let him out on loan considering we short on defenders, good player though looks like a young Rio in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaka Demus Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Apparently we've signed Bouzid in a swap deal for Webster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylin_and_Profilin Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That would be a cracking deal if true Ally. Â Diouf is a A-grade tool but if he is on his game he will be miles ahead of the majority of guys he comes up against in the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaka Demus Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 We tried to get Bouzid and failed. Hearts wanted 600,000 plus Webster. Â We've released Webster though, so he's a free agent now. 3 games in 4 years. Bottle merchant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bAzTNM Fan Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The Webster thing is very confusing. He had a great season at Dundee Utd last year, got himself into the Scotland set-up and looked a shoe-in to help Rangers out at the back with Weir getting on. He will do a job somewhere; he is a hatchet man by nature so I'm surprised that it's quite obvious Walter Smith does not fancy him at all. There must be more to it than meets the eye. Â Whenever he was cast up in press conferences etc, Smith always insinuated that he was injured. I don't seem to remember him missing that many games for Utd last season, or even when he was at Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't seem to remember him missing that many games for Utd last season, or even when he was at Hearts.  Walter never had a problem with him, he had high hopes for him. The talk was that he didn't have the bottle to play for a big club. When he came back to Rangers after Dundee Utd there was high hope for him amongest the Rangers coaching set up. But every time he was told he would be playing he went to the physio's and told them he had felt a tweak in his thigh, Or said that his hamstring was tight. He couldn't handle playing for a club with so much pressure on winning ever game and bottled it.  It's a shame cause he was a natural replacement for Davie Weir, but that's how things go.

The fact that Rangers need to replace Weir at the end of the season, and Celtic were desperate for a centre half, yet both let Mark Reynolds head down south is quite confusing.

Â Yeah, I am a bit shocked neither Glasgow club took a punt on Mark Reynolds. I would have been quite pleased had we signed him, I think he is a promising young centre half. I've had it in the ear about Reynolds for years though; one of my dad's mates is friendly with the Reynolds family and every time I see him he would harp on about how Mark is the best defender out, so in that respect, it's somewhat amusing that he has signed for Sheffield Wednesday. Â I do think he has been snubbed by Scotland though, he should definitely be making squads at this stage in his career. If he does eventually manage it, then I wouldn't be surprised to see him back up here at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 done deal Kyle Bartley on his way as well  Bartley is highly rated at ours and has impressed in reserve/youth games. Surprised we have let him out on loan considering we short on defenders, good player though looks like a young Rio in the making. Saw him play for Sheff Utd against Hull on Boxing Day. One of the most abysmal defensive performances you will ever see. I nearly fell off my chair when I found out he belonged to Arsenal. Maybe put it down to the presence of Nyron Nosworthy as his partner?  What do you guys think of the latest Scotland squad?  Goalkeepers: Bell (Kilmarnock) Gordon (Sunderland) McGregor (Rangers) Defenders: Bardsley (Sunderland) Berra (Wolves) Caldwell (Wigan Athletic) Hanley (Blackburn Rovers) Hutton (Tottenham Hotspur) Danny Wilson (Liverpool) Mark Wilson (Celtic)  Midfielders: Adam (Blackpool) Bannan (Aston Villa) Brown (Celtic) Commons (Celtic) Dorrans (West Brom) Fletcher (Manchester United) McCulloch (Rangers) Morrison (West Brom)  Forwards: Maguire (Aberdeen) Miller (Bursaspor) Naismith (Rangers) Snodgrass (Leeds United) Goalkeepers and Midfield look outstanding. Forward line is very light and it looks poor defensively. Is it just me or is their no left back? i think Bardsley might have slotted in there for Sunderland though. No Lee Wallace, he looked very good against Rangers recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bAzTNM Fan Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think it's quite an impressive squad. Also shocked at the snubbing of Lee Wallace, though it's probably about time Mark Wilson got a cap. He has been in and out of the Celtic team for years and done whatever was asked of him quite well.From that choice, I would go: Â Gordon Hutton Caldwell Berra Wilson Fletcher Brown Adam Commons Naismith Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
