Vidmar Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>EVERTON are set to miss out on a £500,000 windfall because of financial difficulties at Rangers. The Scottish club have informed former Goodison defender Michael Ball (right) he is no longer part of Alex McLeish's plans at Rangers. The Scottish giants are believed to be unwilling to pay the £0.5m payment which will be triggered if Ball plays 60 games for the Scottish giants. The payment is part of the £6.5m deal which took Ball to Ibrox in August 2001. Ball's time with Rangers has been dogged by persistent knee problems. But after finally overcoming the problem last season he made 43 appearances for the club before being dropped to the bench for the run-in to the season with the title already lost to Celtic. He has now made 54 first team appearances for the club, leaving him six matches short of the total required to provide Everton with the payment. Ball is believed to be keen to return to the Premiership in order to improve his chances of an international recall. He was selected for Sven Goran Eriksson's first England squad against Spain in February 2001 but has not been involved since. Rangers are believed to be willing to listen to offers of £2m for the full-back. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> F UCK OFF YOU SH|TE BOOZING WHANK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore and Gers chief Alex McLeish clashed last term, with the Australian courting controversy when saying he wanted the club to match his ambition or he would look to move on. McLeish was unhappy with Moore last term and he has now decided to make him available after learning the Australian is looking to represent his country at the Olympics and will miss the start of the season. "Both myself and Craig have had a discussion regarding his current situation at Ibrox and his desire to play for his country in the forthcoming Olympics," McLeish told the club's website. "Each of us have our own objectives and I have decided to appoint a new captain for season 2004/2005 which I will announce imminently with such important matches at the start of our season. "Both Craig and I have jointly agreed that the interests of Rangers FC are the priority and therefore he will relinquish the captaincy. "The club will now make Craig available for transfer at the correct fee." The news could well place Aston Villa, Birmingham City and Everton on a high state of alert as they were linked with the defender earlier in the summer. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Ter Posted July 8, 2004 Author SI Staff Share Posted July 8, 2004 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>GAVIN RAE will be out of action for approximately six months following successful surgery on his left knee. The Ibrox midfielder stretched his cruciate ligament during the Light Blues’ epic 3-3 draw with Dundee Utd in April and it was hoped the problem would heal naturally. However, the 26-year-old former Dundee star has now gone under the knife and is currently recuperating in a private clinic down south. He will spend around six months on the sidelines then hopefully return to top team action around December/January time. Rae joined the club at the turn of the year and made his debut against Celtic but his first Rangers’ appearance was cut short when he was forced off with a hamstring problem. He did return to action at the end of February and bagged his first goal against former employers Dundee. Gavin doubled his tally with a fine strike against Partick Thistle in mid April but sadly he picked up the knee problem at Tannadice a week later. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> We should have just waited and took him on a bosman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powlay Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Real Sociedad have finally wrapped up their capture of Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta from Rangers. The Basque outfit have been chasing the 22-year-old for several weeks and have been striving to thrash out an agreement with the Scottish giants. Rangers have now accepted a €4 million (£2.5 million) fee from Sociedad, despite having forked out double that sum to sign Arteta from Barcelona. Arteta has concurred on a four-year contract with Sociedad, which contains an option for a further two years. He agreed to the terms on Thursday and the signatures are due to be put on the contracts to finally end the matter on Saturday. Sociedad have praised the role of Barcelona in their negotiations to sign Arteta after the Catalan club waived their option on the midfielder. Arteta becomes Sociedad's second signing of the summer after they struck a deal to bring French defender Jeremie Brechet to the Anoeta. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie1869 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 So Rangers are only getting £2.5m for Arteta now? Seems to be getting lower and lower all the time. Rangers first team last year was good on paper if you remember, but their squad was not big enough because some players were injured. Seems to me like the same thing again, although the new players seem to have more desire to stay fit than some of the old ones who seemed content with being injured. To have a chance of competing with Celtic, you will have to keep some key players fit all season, whereas Celtic can afford a few injuries in my opinion, because every time a player comes in for them they do the job.

IMO if Thompson, Hartson + Sutton are out they will have no ideas what so ever. One of the main assest Celtic have is the trademark Thompson cross into the box for Sutton/Hartson to knock down/on for Jar-Jar but he's gone now, and i honestly don't think Thompson has much more to his game.
