hypochondriac Posted 6 July, 2012 Share Posted 6 July, 2012 Not necessarily a winger but definitely an attacking mid. I can't see Adkins getting an out and out winger. Well a right midfielder then whatever you want to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 6 July, 2012 Share Posted 6 July, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wightman35 Posted 6 July, 2012 Share Posted 6 July, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

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.

Nexstar Posted 6 July, 2012 Share Posted 6 July, 2012 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.
