Saw the back of tomorrows Record, saying Davis to Rangers for 3 million... any confirmation?

Dunno, but if you start a thread about in the SPL forum, you'll get an answer in there - they're usually on the ball wi' transfers 'n' shit

Considering Hodgeson was chanting 7m for him earlier today, it's a bit of a drop in a few hours.

GERS CLINCH £3M DAVIS DEAL:

Rangers will end the longest transfer saga of the summer this weekend by signing Fulham midfielder Steven Davis for £3 million.

The Northern Ireland skipper was a massive hit at Ibrox during his loan spell last season.

Then he spent the summer in limbo as the clubs haggled over a price to make the move permanent.

But last night boss Walter Smith, whose transfer kitty was bolstered by the £7.8m sale of Carlos Cuellar to Aston Villa in midweek, finally got his man as Fulham agreed to sell and Davis was close to agreeing personal terms.

The deal is unlikely to be done before Rangers face Hearts at Ibrox today but Davis will be Smith's third signing in a week by tomorrow night at the latest.

The club unveiled £3m Portsmouth midfielder Pedro Mendes yesterday, hot on the heels of signing Valencia's highly rated attacking midfielder Aaron Niguez on Thursday.

Davis' arrival may mean Smith putting on the back burner his interest in Palrmo's Australian internationalist Mark Bresciano.

But the Ibrox manager will push ahead with moves to bring American midfielder Maurice Edu to Rangers.

The 22 year old has just finished representing the USA at the Olympics and Rangers are trying to obtain a work permit for the player.

Edu was recommended by them from their former striker Maurice Johnston, now his manager at Toronto Blizzard in the MLS.

Smith said: "We asked Mo if he thought there were any players in American league he thought would do well over here and he recommended Edu."

"The MLS, who own all of their players, are happy for him to come to Scotland."

"We're in the final stages of tying things up, but we still have to put in for the work permit."

"He's only 22 and we'll continue to look at him."

Meanwhile, Andy Webster will soon be on his way out of Rangers in a loan deal.

The injury hit defender now needs games and Smith's looking for a suitable deal.

He said: "Andy has been out of the game for two years and he needs to play again."

"Motherwell are interested in him but nobody has done anymore than talk to his agent."

"If they can come to an agreement, and the player is happy to go there, there is no reason why he shouldnt."

Are the huns seriously happy with spending what they have to acquire Davis?

How daft are the Huns?
If they had shelled out this type of cash before kaunas they would still be in Europe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Davis

Wiki has it. They had Mendes and Loovens before it was official, it's all good

And I agree, if we'd signed him already we would be in Europe now.

If they had done it a couple of week earlier they may have still been in Europe

Good player, bit pointless having him, Fergyhun, Mendes and Thomson considering that they are only going for the SPL and have no European comps to contend in.

Betty Davis.

laura davis.

Fee been agreed, now just personal terms to be decided come this week

Yeah what would be the point in trying to win the SPL!??! tit.

Couldn't and can't get a game for Fulham.Not worth it.

If the huns had had him last season they would have won teh league, and the uefa

heh, i see what u did there

Is that Davies?

It's Adam Hart-Davis. He who is oft-heard asking the question "What did the Victorians ever do for us?".

In this case, what the Victorians gave us was the founding of Rangers Football Club in 1873.

And we've never even thanked them.

The BBC rumour mill, has a link from the Daily Mail website, saying that the deal might be about to fall through because of a failure to meet his wage demands.

How Embarrassing.

If this is true and he's arguing aboot wages, either we've offered him a pittance or he's not that desperate tae play for us!

He knows the position Rangers are in and will squeeze a few more grand out of it

As I stated on a different thread he's after a big chunk more that what Mendes is rumoured to be on. You'd think he's just play for nothing, mustn't be blue enough!

Sheer desperation, it's Murrays way of appeasing the fans of Fickle fc.



They are run by a absolute clown of a man, who throws money at every problem they have ever had.

Dont talk pish. Where's your proof of this?

From Walter himself. You think it's taken this long to agree a price with Fulham?

Still think they'll sign him, they almost promised the frothing hordes he'd be coming, unless moonbeam has another joker up his sleeve?

that'll be the same clown wae aboot £300million in the bank more than you then, assuming yer no a multi millionaire yerself of course!!

That's not what i've heard.
Apparently the deals stalled because of money due to Davies from Fulham.

Is Davis playing tonight for NI against us??

PPPRRRICK

That's uncouth that's a fellow Orc yer abusing
