Apparently it's because he's offering more money that's holding up the deal. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? Seller: This car is worth ã10k Buyer: I'll give you ã12k for it Seller: Mmm, let's spend longer talking about this first...
Didn't Rangers spend like ã5m this year? ã4.4m on Jelavic and a couple of squad players. So basically after Craig Whyte takes over your transfer budget will be exactly the same as when the bank was in charge?
At a rough estimate: Jelavic ã4m + ã1m in wages Beattie 700k + 500k in wages Weiss 500k in wages That's ã6.7m spent on wages and salaries for three players (of which one is owned by another club and another is well past it). And Walter has the audacity to moan about having a small squad. For that kind of outlay he could have signed Majstorovic, Izzy, Kayal and Hooper.
