lovenkrands01 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 From SkySportsCardiff City have denied they are interested in Scottish midfielders Peter Leven and Gavin Rae. Reports had linked The Bluebirds with the two players who are both out-of-contract following the end of the Scottish season. However, chairman Peter Ridsdale has now dismissed talk of Kilmarnock's Under 21 international Leven or Rangers' Rae moving to Ninian Park. "There is absolutely nothing in these rumours about those players being tracked by Cardiff City," said Ridsdale. I guess this is the month of the year where theres practically No transfer activity.

GingerFurball Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 From the Herald online: Hearts last night defended a 30% rise in ticket prices that will be imposed on supporters of the Old Firm and Hibernian at Tynecastle next season.Fans of Celtic, Rangers and Hibs will have to part with £33 to watch their team in the centre of the upper section of the Roseburn Stand, a jump of £8 from the last campaign. Supporters in the other areas of the stand will be charged £27, an increase of £7 on last season, for Category A' matches. Opposing fans outside the Old Firm and Hibs will pay between £17 and £22 for Category B' games in the Roseburn Stand. Hibs fans have reacted with disbelief to the price increase, claiming Vladimir Romanov, the Hearts owner, is merely lining his pockets. But the club have defended the price hike in light of the planned redevelopment of the Tynecastle main stand in the coming campaign. "We reviewed the pricing of match-day tickets at some length prior to any increases," said a Hearts spokesman. "It's really all about supply and demand and we have to be commercially aware. Demand for tickets for Hearts versus Hibs at Tynecastle outstrips supply." Hibs travel to Tynecastle on the opening day of the season and Dave Kowalski, a spokesman for fans website Hibs.net, said yesterday: "Thirty-three pounds is an outrageous price. I've not heard about an organised Hibs boycott, but if there was one, Hearts would deserve to lose money." If anyone gets a ticket for Tynecastle next season, don't take it.

We'll be totally screwed when we need to rebuild our stadium in about 5 years time cos Fungus McSquint built it for 40p. It looks fantastic once you're inside (as you may know) but it's just a green & white tin can. Sadly, I have to admit that Ibrox is a much higher quality of building, though the corners still look rubbish. Was surprised to hear that you guys were shelling out £4.4m though, quite a dramatic change in your transfer policy from the last couple of seasons. A positive sign to see a young French international (of sorts) coming to play in Scotland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Beasley and particularly Faubert would be very interesting signings... Faubert is a lot of money but would give us a higher quality player for the right of midfield whilst also allowing cover for Hutton. Whittaker has been strongly linked for that role but perhaps the Frenchman is worth the extral lolly. The left of midfield has been a problem since Gio/Albertz left. Adam had a decent season and his stats shouldn't be ignored. However, we certainly need competition for that area and I'd much prefer Beasley to the likes of McCulloch. It's going to be an interesting few days by the looks it it. Celtic have thrown down the gauntlet with some good signings. Time for us to answer strongly. Faubert is exactly the kind of riposte were after but I'll wait until he's wearing the new away strip before actually getting excited... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorg Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Bordeaux want big money for JulienBordeaux have told Rangers and Tottenham they want at least £10million for highly-rated midfielder Julien Faubert. The 23-year-old's agent Philippe Sol revealed on Sunday that both clubs were interested in the France international, with Gers boss Walter Smith reported to be willing to shell out £5 million. But Bordeaux chairman Jean-Louis Triaud insists he wants Faubert to stay - and even if he were to go, his suitors will have to spend big. He told the Daily Record: "We understand the agent has been very active but we don't want to sell him. "And even if we did agree to sell, £5 million would be too low. We do not have a fixed price for him but it would have to be double the kind of money talked about." Faubert has been a regular for Bordeaux since signing from Cannes in 2004 and scored on his debut for France against Bosnia last year. Next transfer target please.

Whether it's all used on one player depends on the quality we'd be getting for our money.

What was he saying? </div></BLOCKQUOTE> by Darrell King DAMARCUS BEASLEY is expected in Glasgow within the next 48 hours to complete his £700,000 move to Rangers. And the Ibrox club are actively pursuing their major target of the summer - Bordeaux midfielder Julien Faubert - despite claims the French club want £10million. Ibrox boss Walter Smith arrived back from holiday last night and aims to close in on several targets over the next couple of weeks. His first-team squad reports back to Murray Park on Wednesday for pre-season training. Beasley helped the USA retain the Gold Cup with a 2-1 win over Mexico in Chicago last night, and confirmed afterwards he was heading off to sign for his new club. advertisementThe 25-year-old PSV Eindhoven left-winger was named in the Team of the Tournament, and he said: "My future has been sorted out and I know where I will be playing my football next season." Meantime manager Smith has been tracking the player for some time, and Rangers hope to unveil him later this week. Despite claims that moves for Osasuna's Carlos Cuellar and Wigan's Lee McCulloch are dead, sources insist they are still in talks with both clubs. Personal terms have been agreed with the agents of the Spanish defender and the Scotland internationalist. But, as of yet, Rangers have been unable to reach agreements over the fees. Osasuna want more than £2m for Cuellar, while Wigan want £2.5m for McCulloch. A loan deal until January is also being looked at again for Andy Webster until his fee is sorted out. The capture of Faubert would be a massive coup, and would signal Rangers biggest splash into the transfer market since they signed Mikel Arteta from Barcelona for just under £6m five years ago. Faubert, 23, has been capped twice for France and Smith is prepared to pay in the region of £4.5m for the player who is also being tracked by Roma. Rangers have been in dialogue with the player's agents, one of whom is the Italian Vincenzo Morabito, a close friend of chairman David Murray. Bordeaux chairman Jean-Louis Triaud is adamant his new manager, Laurent Blanc, wants to keep Faubert. The player and his agents will hold talks in the next 24 hours with the hierarchy to demand he is allowed to leave. They will point to the figures currently being splashed in France for similar players as a fair barometer - big spending Lyon have just paid Lille £5m for Mathieu Bodmer. And Bordeaux themselves are looking for £5.5m for France Under-21 skipper Rio Mavuba - a player they rate more highly than Faubert, who has tried to quit Bordeaux in the past two transfer windows.

wsm999 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Seems that 4 to 4 1/2 would be a fair price going by that but I still have my doubts about us shelling out that on one player when we need to go out and buy half a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovenkrands01 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 It would be interesting if we got Beasley, Cuellar and Faubert because I think the rest of the lads would raise their game playing with some better players. It could only benefit the likes of Smith, Hutton, MacGregor and Thomson having top players around them. I still think we need a proper playmaker though. I'd rather see Walter spend 6-7 million on 3/4 players than on 7/8 definitaly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
