Gallowgate End Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 £12 million is what you would expect to pay for Coloccini 4 or 5 years ago when he was at his best competing against the best in the Champions League; he has been part of a relatively poor Depor side for a good number of years now that concedes a lot of goals. For me Carlos Cueller would be a better and cheaper option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 One caveat, btw, is that I'm not entirely sure he's the superman some are making him out to be. I don't think anyone (apart from a few barmpots) is expecting him to be the one. But he's head and shoulders better than what we have back there.

But he's head and shoulders better than what we have back there. is he head and shoulders above anything else we can get for the original starting price. ie as someone mentioned above, i'd like to see us test rengers with a bid for cuellar who i was very imprerssed with on their uefa run last season.

Kimbo Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Apparently last season was his best ever, and he played every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Wasnt he voted the best defender in Spain last season? I think your confusing him with Gonzalo; big part of the Villarreal side that came 2nd and pushed for the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no idea mate! I've got no idea how much Rangers would want for Cuellar. £7m? £10m? Who knows? I'm assuming Keegan has asked about several CB's and has picked Coloccini as the best one to go for. If he's Keegan's no.1 choice then we should do our utmost to get him. IMO obviously.

Jamie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Is he really worth 10m+ though ? I'm worried that we might blow all our money on him and be scraping to come up with funds for others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 They have to walk away esp when we are dealing with this club who screwed us over with the Luque deal by always upping the price & even Shepherd had realised he got fleeced over that deal & said he would never deal with them again.

We still need to invest heavily in the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS IS BRAND NEW INFORMATION Depo OFFERED Luque to us because they didn't want him go to either of the two big clubs in Spain. Wish I could post some proof of that, but you'll just have to trust me.

sicsfingeredmong Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Mike Ashley would not take kindly to being fukd about like this. He is an impulsive kind of guy and i think he would simply say fuk it! Letting his ego override the needs of the 1st team/club. If so that closely mirrors Souness' ego driven trait, and therefore he can bugger off as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
