I'm telling you, he won't be sold in this window.

Its looking increasingly likely isn't it. All the teams you'd think would be in for him are buying other strikers... I don't see why we shouldn't just offer him a year's extension on more money to keep him around a bit longer. We can still sell him in January or the summer but won't let him go for nothing.

not sure... i notice that mclaren never goes so far as to say that there's no interest, always that there's been no bid made (which is no great surprise).

i think they're playing a waiting game, they think we want/maybe need to sell and they reckon that the longer they wait, the stronger their bargaining hand will be.

That's probably what they are thinking, yes.

Be so funny if their £15m bid is rejected on Friday as the price has now gone up as they are the desperate ones.

If he ISNT sold somehow in this window then do you think Charlie will be gutted?

[cross it Dave]

Do we need to sell?.

Season tickets virtually all sold, parachute payments on their way, massive reduction in our wage bill, nearly £16 million so far in incoming transfers and loan fees and some of the richest owners around, and a club that is now being prudently run and a minumum of I believe, £99 million next year in the Premership.

Just my opinion, but I think it is the other way around, the closer we get to Transfer Deadline Day, the harder I think Rangers will try to keep Charlie.

Here's hoping.

This has got Jordan rhodes written all over it. season after season, clubs show interest in the player but the fee is too high and no one will match the asking price. we need either an assuranse from charile that he will sign a new contract with a release clause if he is here after the transfer window or we need to lower our price to around 12 mil and get some profit out of him before he walks away for nowt at the end of the season.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Is this a new denial or the same one from a while back?

[Harryboy]

he will be gone by September.

Transfer dealings revised down by £2 million to £14 million��

Not 1 of you has mentioned west ham. Club is made for him and they have just lost their main striker for 3 months. He will be bought on deadline by them. Get on 12-1 if you think he will stay. Like the odds no chance

Betting is a game for mugs mate

I mentioned west spam on another thread,, I think Charlie's wife has a big problem moving up north. So west spam would be ideal for both. But will they pay 15m doubt it,,
