are u not sick of having your team slagged of for their 'derisory' offers by every third rate club they deal with?

And before you repeat the Westwood comments, remember we offered a million quid for him. Have any players you bought this summer cost that much?

think about it
if you tell a car dealer you have 10.000
thats how muck the car will cost you
if whyte shows his hand in the transfer market he will get stung-big time-
he is new to the transfer market give him time

Coming from a fan of a club who takes every player on trial 1st, how can u be critical of a club who haggle with actual money?

whyte was the man himself who came out and said mccoist will have £5m per season to spend. If you go to buy a car and the guy wants a grand for it and thats about its worth, do you offer £150 for it if you really want it? No u might offer £700. Offer £150 and you'll be told to fucc-off and the guy just might not sell to you at all just for the heck of it.

Ur an idiot. U come on here telling us to pay up, when all uz are doing are bringing players in on trial. If uz were out spending 2m here n there, then uz got a point, but uz aint.

How much can he cost, we get him for nought in January or take 100k, I am not sure if his team is keeping him for a title challenge as I understand the sweedish league lasts until november.

Aye buying a footballer is just like buying a car.

Cars have documented values based on age, make, model, condition etc. So the buyer is in less of a bargaining position if the value of a car is well established.

The same can NOT be said about footballers. Its common for valuations of buyers and sellers to be hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions apart.

How much a player can be bought for will be determined by the player himself, his contractual status, his injury situation, his off field issues, the clubs financial position, the history between the buying and selling clubs etc etc

Its a million times more complicated than buying a car.

The buyer will want to fork out as little as possible, the seller will want to make as much as is possible. Its common for these negotiations to start far apart.

Look at Barca - they have been trying to agree a price for Fabregas for 2 years.

Or Chelsea - they bid £20 MILLION less than what Spurs value Modric at.

So this is absolutely not a Rangers problem.

It happens all the time.

laff - are u a moron? which team has spent the most on one player this summer? Clue - it ain't u. Why not stop being a halfwit?

Did Allyshere (who started the car analogy) or I say buying a car was just like buying a player? You started off with the wrong premise, then it was all downhill from there. Stick to petty attacks, this debating thing seems a bit over your head.

Has the ortiz fee actually been released? Cause if its the supposed 500k thats been mentioned on here, add that to the 750k for goian n what do u get? More than what uz have spent.

N uz could have prob got wanyama for less, but uz just jumped in n offered the top line. Great wheelin n dealin son

the tims are skint, thats why it's all free transfers. their wage bill is crippling

aye if it's a choice between £900 for a kid who was 15 when he made his international debut and was rated as one of the best young players in belguim, and will have a massive resale profit if it works out for him in Scotland. Or £1.25 million for a Spanish journeyman who's just been relegated and a 30 year old Romanian crock who has been punted after playing just 30 games at his last club, both of who will have little resale value? Then it's Lenny 1 Coist 0

oh I see Ortiz is on the bench after 1 game, with the likes of healy and broadfoot

1-0 Lenny
