Rangers defender Cuellar snubs move to 'losers' Newcastle and insists he would rather 'win trophies' at Ibrox

Last updated at 11:18am on 16th April 2008

 

Rangers defender Carlos Cuellar has snubbed a move to Newcastle United, insisting he is not interested in playing for a "club at the bottom".

 

Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan was keen on bringing the Spanish defender, who is this season's player of the year in Scotland, to St James' Park and travelled to Glasgow to watch him play on two occasions.

 

But Cuellar, 26, has three-and-a-half years left on his contract and says he would much rather stay at Ibrox and "win trophies" rather than "play for a club at the bottom".

 

Who?

 

Never heard of him :lol:

Bit unecessarily harsh if those quotes are true.

 

The only quotes there are "win trophies" and "play for a club at the bottom".. misguided comments IMO considering he's talking about mickey mouse trophies but not exactly harsh.  Everything else there is the work of which ever cunt wrote the article.

Relatively realistic possiblities (excluding players i haven't seen play)

 

-Downing

-SWP

-Crouch

-Lennon

-Dunne

-Gilberto

-Mcgeady

-Barnes

 

 

Off the top of my head.

 

Take Crouch Downing and Gilberto off and it would be a bad list

 

 

"Realistic"

 

I meant it wouldnt be a bad list

 

Ah right :thup:

-Downing - Can't see Boro selling to us, and if they did, it would be £5m more than other teams.

-SWP - Would love him here. Would flourish once again under Keegan and a good move for all concerned if it happened.

-Crouch - Good player, right attitude. Questionnable finishing but would fit in well where Viduka currently plays in the 4-3-3.

-Lennon - Very raw player. First instinct is a no.

-Dunne - Can't see City parting with him.

-Gilberto - Legs have gone.

-Mcgeady - Haven't seen him play a lot to be honest.

-Barnes - Decent potential, wouldn't be too far away from a first team place. Would wait and see if someone better becomes available.

I would rather just stick with Viduka myself. Crouch doesn't have his footballing brain, his technique, or his finishing. Crouch is obviously fitter and has better, although not great, athleticism, but i value Viduka's advantages more.

how about Luis Valencia?

 

He`s looked a very good buy for Wigan from Villareal and he might add that bit of South American flair on the right wing for us. That Palacios looks good as well. Incidentally Man U are both linked with them today. I`d prefer either over the likes of McGeady who are not proven in the EPL

Don't know if its been mentioned but from the BBC Gossip Column

 

"Everton manager David Moyes is tracking Newcastle full-back Steven Carr, whose contract expires at the end of the season." (Daily Mirror)

 

Hope to god he f*cks off.

That list of players Man U are supposadly after makes little or no sense. Why do they need 3 more central midfielders and another winger, arguably the two places where they are most covered. I agree though, the two Wiganers look decent.

Agree with palacios, that guy has an engine and a half.

Everyone was sayingt hat Nicky Butt was finished and outr midfeild were rubbish, KK has turned it round I bet Gilberto would look fresh under KKs management.

"Na man he's plays in the Brazil team because he's useless. There's no such thing as man management. Deco or noone for our midfield TBH!"

 

Makes me laugh how short sighted people can be. For the record i'd prefer we went for a younger target but i do rate Gilberto.

Btw watched McGeady last night and he was awful not one decent cross and is very poor when running at players

 

stay away from him

 

also Cuellar was sent of

 

McGeady was pretty good I thought(never seen him play before). He were never going to get an easy game the way Rangers played, but he tried, and got past his men (seemed like he always had two men on him) quite a few times, and deliverd some fine crosses.

 

Cuellar had a good game as well I thought. Good in the air, good positioning and well timed tackles. He saved a goal for Rangers, and even though it didn't matter at the time, it looked like he saved Rangers a point untill OT when Celtic finally scored the winner.

I'm sure if we made a decent offer, Cuellar would be interested.

 

Can't say that I could share your optimism tbh.

Rangers defender Carlos Cuellar has ruled out a move to the Premiership.

A target for Newcastle United and Tottenham, Cuellar said: "I have a contract for three years. I want to stay at Rangers for life.

 

"I always liked the idea of playing in a big league with other big players but now I'm very happy here.

 

"I play in the Champions League, I can win the league, the UEFA Cup - now I'm playing in a big team in Europe.''

Yep, seen the "quotes", still think if we offered £5m or whatever, and offered him around £30k, he'd be down in a flash.

In the second link there are quotes saying he wants to stay with Rangers for the rest of his career.  Sign of lack of ambition like, but that's what he said.

I'd like to see us go for Zarate.

 

Looks like he's going to be the player that will keep Birmingham up, much like Tevez last season.

 

Agree with that!, he's good now! can't wait to see him in a couple of seasons down the road, would be a fantastic signing.

4m for Esteban Valencia and 6m for Palacios...according to the press. If that is their true asking price I think they`re well worth it
