Interesting news regarding Julio Cesar...

[Rangers77]

At last a sensible post, exactly the reason, higher wages and considered a better keeper by the football world hence more likely to be taken by others. Green on the other hand is now a free agent yet no one seems to want him, strange that when he is such a quality keeper, but hey the FIFA players think green is better.

FIFA player? F ack's sake man I thought I was the next Southampton manager? Why, pray, are the world's leading clubs not queuing up to sign your hero??

Guess that's why so many clubs are rushing to sign the free agent Green!!!!

......Brazil no1 you ain't said that yet!!...

No one was willing to take Cesar on because of his huge wage, not that difficult to figure out.

Suspect we will see Green leave this summer and Julio return to crack on as our number one (from a business POV that makes complete sense).

No it don't north .....we'll be back in the champs. I will be utterly amazed, and disappointed if Tony allows salad back....one of the problems in the club....get rid and keep the team together as much as we can

I think Ricky's got a fishing rod 77.....either that or he's had a bad fall on his head...If you read that back it don't make sense "exactly the reason, higher wages and considered a better keeper by the football world hence more likely to be taken by others."...But he hasn't been taken, and why would he be because he's on higher wages?!!!

Fair enough you don't like him but don't understand why you would call him a "cancer". Yes he was on massive wages but massive wages we offered. When did you last hear of a footballer who took a massive pay cut to play first team football?

Yep. That and he can't command his box. Hughes, Kia Crook and the kind naivety of TF enable the Buzz Lightyear look alike to fill his boots whilst Greeno puts in the hard graft and helps get us up. I'll cheer on my team regardless, but I pray we won't see that money grabber in goal come August.

Doesnt make sense from a business POV? You sure about that Dave

I don't mean the wages Stain....I think he came with an attitude of we should be happy to see him in a Rangers shirt...along with a few others too. I will change that comment as thinking about it cancer is far far more serious than any football discussion and i shouldn't have used the word so casually.

No no no del it was julius at Arsenal...he jumped and managed to shrink his reach by 3 ft

In that game he made some stunning saves, and when they scored he pulled off a worldly from a close range header back across him. The ball then got knocked to Arteta who was offside on the goal line, who flicked over Cesar it hit the bar and he scored the rebound.

The goal shouldn't have stood, but regardless, to try and label blame on Cesar in an way for it is seriously clutching at straws.

No because we will be back in the champs....that's bad business...no?

Think you need to have another read, more likely doesn't mean will, just more likely than Green. Yes he is on higher wages that's why if they can't get rid of him they will keep him and let Green go who is now out of contract.

So just so you get it I'll explain again, Cesar still in contract, green out of contract and both on ridiculously high wages for a keeper. Also for the record not saying Cesar is the answer and has his faults but to say green is better is wrong, both are hopeless at crosses and there are much better keepers out there than both for a lot less money, but we are where we are.

No clutching from me....he made his debut v Chelsea i think, and from that game i knew he was dodgy....simply because he pushed the ball into play instead of around the post...dodgy keeper and
i am completely at a loss after Wembley that the you lot have got the daggers out for past it keeper....He could only get a game in the mickey mouse lge because their manager is our ex player

Fair enough Dave. If he were a bad signing I blame it far more on Hughes who did it so soon after signing Green. There were clearly plenty with bad attitude but whilst we have all heard about Bosingwa, SWP, Adel etc having bad attitude personally I never heard anything about Cesar being unprofessional. Tbh I doubt hardly any of those players Hughes signed were in it for anything much more than the money - we tried to buy players who were too big for the club and on the way down. Cesar was far from the worst examples imho. Anyway, hopefully we have learned our lesson.

That's awfully good of you to explain ....still don't make sense to me....Anyway here's hoping he has a great wc and some Portugese side come in for him...or an Icelandic side ...or a div 2 side anyone!!!
