gavinkil Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Watched the Dundee utd game on scotsport last night, having to ignore how bad the coverage and commentary are. Noticed Furman was playing looked decent enough finally someone playing a linking role behind the front men, was good to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable coverage. Furman did very well actually. Was surprised to see him come on but he looked confident, passed the ball reasonably and looks more than capable of making the step up next season.

Muzzza Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The sooner Cousin leaves the better, he has a hell of a lot of talent but he is a moron and lazy. Its a real shame he did what he did in Florence, if this keeper is a bit nervy a couple of his strikes from distance could have caused some trouble. I'm so excited about tomorrow now, I really never thought I'd see a Rangers team in a European final especially since the purse strings tightened and with the importance of spending big in todays game. Its a great achievement what Walter has done in sorting the club out in such a short period of time and whatever happens in the next few weeks its been a hell of a season! Have fun in Manchester tomorrow for all you guys who are going, gutted I can't make it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His headbutting antics are an f'ing disgrace, but he's paid the penalty because I doubt he'll ever get another chance to play in Euro final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavinkil Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Less Archie McPherson on tv the better, hoping the game will also be on itv4 with the english commentators. Surprised there hasn't been suggestions of players people rekon we should go for next season, so I will start it: Strikers: Saha (if we can get him fit) Bojinov (man city forgotten man) O'Connor (Birmingham) Kevin Doyle (Reading) Klasnic (Werder) Midfield: Mintal (Nurnberg) Kristiansen (Nurnberg) Defenders: Ron Vlaar (AZ) That was just a quick scout about of teams getting relegeted or not doing so well so potential to get them cheaply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbc_89 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Bojinov wasn't really forgotten, suffered a nasty injury in one of his first games at the start of the season iirc. He'll probably play a bigger part for Man City next season. Klasnic must be the most likely to go to you out of those players, would be a good signing if he stayed fit.

If we can insure him then why not.

Frankie Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 My information is that Klasnic will be a Rangers player next season... Obviously he's a decent player but I'm a bit wary of his injury/health problems in the past. The fact he's a Bosman helps minimise the gamble somewhat I suppose. Definitely don't want O'Connor or Miller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Aye, most players are covered with insurance for that kind of thing. Klasnic has visited Murray Park at least once and liked what he saw. I'd imagine if it's true, he'll be confirmed once the season is finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacemaker7 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Don't want a former sheep anywhere near Rangers thanks, would be almost as bad a signing as Miller or O'Connor.

McD Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I don't mind Anderson, solid player. Aberdeen have clearly missed him alot this year. I don't mind his 'heritage' really We've been linked before, we'll be scouting for centre-halves, he's struggled down south, he's Scottish, he's of a certain age and will be known to WS from the national squad set-up.... just putting 2 and 2 together!
