Rangers cast off?

[PaulWinch again]

I can't think of any who will be made available who I'd want. I wouldn't even want Davis if he was free and he won't be.

[spangley1812]

So how exactly did Fulham sign Diarra last week if out of contract players can only sign during a window?

When a player has been released from their contract, can they immediately move to another club?
It's not as straightforward as finding another club and simply signing for them.
Fifa has the final say on the matter and has made dispensation in the past for players who have been made redundant through no fault of their own.
Players who have been made redundant are usually treated as having been unemployed during the previous transfer window.

Davis is no better than (and in my opinion, not as good as) any of our better midfield kids (Johnson, Carruthers, Gardner, Herd, Clark etc..) so I don't see the point in having him back.

We should have got Diarra though. That wasn't very clever.
He's exactly what we need at the moment.

I suspect he must be on @ least £40,000 pw which is out of our league I reckon

Rangers won't send Davis out on a free. He is their one saleable asset and has something like a five year contract.

Rangers won't have any say in the matter, the administrators will make the decisions, although on the face of it, it would seem silly!

[The Laughing Policeman]

Isn’t  Gregg Wylde supposed to be a decent young player? I’ve not seen to much of Rangers this season but have heard his name mentioned.

Just been announced that Wylde and one other have taken voluntary redundancy.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Me neither. I used to sit next to DW and point out the flaws in his game, count the number of times he gave the ball away etc. He was well over-rated.

And he looks like Chesney from Coronation Street (Davis, not Dave W, he looks more like Schmeichel from Coronation Street).

Dave W looks like Alex Salmond, the SNP oil chaser.

[Dante Lavelli]

beggars can't be choosers. If we could get Davis on a free it would at least offer us another option in midfield which is a major problem currently.

That sort of deal makes sense if they given 6 month contract (with maybe an option for the club) but most players will demand a 3-year deal, which represents a lot of money over the entire contract.  I'd prefer to save the wages for the type of player we need rather than filling the squad with "options" but could ultimately restrict our transfer targets later on.

In this particular instance I'd prefer Bannan to get the chances to shine rather than Davis, as I think they're similar types of players.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I can see no point in having Davis back, as said above, highly over rated.

I can't see that he would have improved in his time in that tinpot Scottish league.

[nigel]

I think many are missing the point.
If we're going to get rid of 6 or 7 players in the summer we have to replace them, and build up the squad, so we should be looking to be bringing in around 10 players if we lose 6 or 7.
We already know we can't compete for the big names, so, we have to look at the rest and hope we unearth a diamond or two.
Davis would be a good addition to the squad, as would Wylde.
I actually thought Davis was pretty good. He was young and, yes, he made mistakes, by all accounts his overall game has improved.

[wills1108]

doesn't matter if they are ' saleable assets '  the administrators need to save a million notes a week NOW, the high earners are at risk

[Phil from the upper holte]

No thanks to Davis, he was one of the best of a bad bunch in the dolly side but not now

[SteveN]

Only seen him on TV but I thought Wyled looked pretty useful, quick left sided player.

He's still young, might be worthwhile getting him in before we lose those we expect to lose in the summer. Young and I wouldn't have thought he will make a massive dent on the pay roll.

[wookster]

According to some reports, Rangers could be forced to ditch most of the team by the administrators and be left with a squad of youths, reserves and only 8 of the current seniors.  If AM is looking at Bosman type signings then as an exRangers man he would be interested in the goings on there.

Really know nothing about the player, but this seems like a decent move.
