Jerseybean Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 So the January rumours have started with the Bristol Post suggesting we will be reigniting our interest in Martyn Waghorn. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/martyn-waghorn-linked-with-january-move-to-bristol-city-after-eight-goals-for-rangers-this-season/story-29793757-detail/story.html According to the BP he has not signed a new contract with Rangers. Be interested to hear what others think about this rumour, aware as I am of the reliability/credibility of the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 This is just a lazy copy by BP of this article from yesterday:http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/10/09/report-bristol-city-eye-january-raid-on-rangers-martyn-waghorn-w/ who apparently got it from the Scottish sun. I think we're basically a good club for clubs/players/press to link strikers who aren't quite premiership quality, as we technically have a gap and money in the bank. He doesn't fit our recruitment profile and hasn't really done anything to suggest he'd be a good striker at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 we were linked with him in the summer, so I think its 2 + 2 at the moment, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems highly thought of at Rangers yet the implication is that we are a step up. I'm not judging the player, but let's not get too big for our boots.

Kid in the Riot Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Quite clear from our summer recruitment that we are after a different profile, and frankly better type of player than the likes of Waghorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'neither are we' - exactly why I was saying he is being linked with us. He is 26, so older than our new transfer profile, he failed to score regularly at this level before and although his goals to games record for rangers is good, only one of his goals has been scored in the Scots Prem the rest have been at scotish championship level and the league cup. Add to that he'd cost a fair bit and it seems unlikely we're actually interested. Not getting to big for my boots, in fact I was trying to say its understandable why we are being linked, I just don't think he'd fits are currently policy/set up.

ashton_fan Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 The article in the Scottish Sun saya we have a "15M war chest" following the sale of Kodjia. This is rubbish since we've only received £11M to date and that will have been used to offset the money paid out on our new players (about £9M), so the rest of the article probably incorrect as well. I would have thought we'd be looking at better players than Waghorn, wouldn't be much of a replacement for Tammy when he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Forget where I heard it, but was on the radio over the weekend.....apparently there is not a lot of joy in the Rangers dressing room right now, and Barton has rattled the nest a little by reminding them that the current group of players have actually done **** all in getting Rangers back into the Scots Prem, which is part of the reason he has now been suspended. A lot of Billy Big Bollocks in there, so, just in case this is true and Waghorn is part of that clique then I'm out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course. I'd rather they reported from their own sources or not at all. I'd also rather they apply the tiniest bit of common sense which would tell them that Waghorn is extremely unlikely to be a player we are interested in.

Acton Red Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 But didnt we get at least £8m from sell ons and transfers. So I make it we have £19m and we spent £9m? Pretty decent window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty decent window! 11m for kodjia it would appear no one knows the sell on fee for bolasie 5-8 million mentioned 1 million for agard 750k for Ayling 250k for Williams 1 million from adoamh sell on. So 19-23 million made this summer, with 4 million more potentially coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
