And a quick winger

And keeper

And another centre back

And Buttner

 

But we have a few weeks yet. :)

 

That's why I said midfield almost sorted. A keeper, centre back and Buttner is the defence...

Well, that's a relief, then! A great signing imo as he has plenty of experience and some notable success already. Now for two goalkeepers, a right back, central defender and a winger who can cross the ball as well as beat Bolt over 50 metres.

Not necessarily a winger but definitely an attacking mid. I can't see Adkins getting an out and out winger.

What would you consider Matt Jarvis to be?

How do you know it's a free?

 

He refused to sign with the Rangers new co and walked away.

 

Even if we had a signing on fee to pay to the player (which seems to be standard), no fee will have been paid to his old club.

That's a bit underhand. I guess it's the way of the world, but I feel for Rangers - a club I have a lot of admiration for.

Why is it "underhand"? The Rangers he was contracted to n longer legally exist, so he wasn't under any obligation to sign for the new company which may end up in Scottish tier 4.

Nothing underhand. As per employment law when Rangers were liquidated he became a free agent.

Because he wasn't contracted to a club.

so, neither was Fleck when he signed for Cov during the week. There was still a fee agreed. Thought you'd know that.

Get used to it for Rangers. Naismith has gone to Everton, they'll very soon lose even more of their players for no fee.

That nipper, IIRC, hadn't turned down a Newco contract as this lad had so, & I'm most likely wrong, they are similar but not the same.

You know what I mean. I just feel for Gers fans who are going through all this crap and things like this just rub salt into the wounds.

I agree, it's not nice, especially as I've been to Ibrox on a number of occasions & had a great time.

Although I can't work out why there was a fee, even if it is in the guise of a sell-on clause. Maybe just an act of courtesy by Cov?

 

Green stated in the media that he would take legal action against players that sign for other clubs. He doesn't have a leg to stand on legally. Coventry have huge money issues of their own and their owners were so scared of the possibility of legal action they came to an agreement with Rangers. There really was no need, I very much doubt Everton and Saints have done the same as SISU at Coventry. Coventry merely covering their backs, Saints and Everton won't be worried, legal action won't happen, Davis, Naismith etc are free to sign for whoever they want.

"Don't take our Davis away" is the chorus :)

 

Been to many a northern ireland match, great song, great player

Makes sense.

Maybe its because he's 21 so a development fee is due.

I considered that at first; but the development fee would be due to the oldco, who no longer exist. And this is an agreement with Rangers to pay a percentage of any sell on fee, not a transfer fee or development fee. I reckon MLG has it about right.

Sounds like a good signing, although I can't say I've seen him play myself. You don't become Rangers and NI captain by being rubbish, he's a good age and on a free.

 

Have seen quite a few WBA fans on twitter moaning that they've missed a trick here.

 

Now, a GK and a CB and a right-winger and we are set...

the fact remains, as Dune says, how do you know for sure? You don't know, for certain. That said, I agree, I doubt we will have.
