As he has shown, he can belt a ball from outside the area, as well as score the easy ones, and he is good at headers, I would rather have Shearer then RvN. Which reminds me, how did RvN get into the Premiership team of the seaosn when Shearer is better then him.

Rangers are a ten times bigger club than Monaco will ever be so how is that a step down? League standards are even that different. Celtic might dominate Scotland but I'd rather watch paint dry than watch another French league game.

Monaco are in the Champions League final. It is a step down to go to a club that probably won't even qualify for the group stages,

Rangers might have a big reputation, but they are a woeful side right now.

Yeah seriosuly, if Chelsea had Rangers in the semi final, we would have shat all over them.

If Real Madrid had Rangers in the quarter finals, they would have shat all over them.

Rangers did rubbish in their league, and I can only assume that Prso is getting a much fatter pocket.

So Rangers bring in far more money than Monaco do year after year and play in front of 50,000 people every week and they aren't bigger than Monaco? Next thing you'll be telling me is Porto are bigger than Man United because they knocked us out of Europe.

Nobody said Monaco aren't a better team. Read the words carefully.

Rangers are in atrocious amounts of debt. In terms of worldwide fan base, also, they are dwarfed by Celtic (most clubs are, Manchester United and Liverpool are about the only ones who aren't).

The only reason I can think of why Prso and Boumsong would go to Rangers, would be to line their pockets, because Rangers are well known for paying stupid money for players. That is why their finances are such a joke, and why Celtic are managing their debts.

I would consider both Celtic and Rangers "big" clubs simply due to the crowds they draw and their reputations. Celtic would be Champions League contenders if they played in a stronger, more marketable league.

Rangers are in less debt than Barcelona, Real Madrid and practically every big team in Italy. Aren't Manchester United the only club in Europe who aren't in debt actually?

I love the comment about "lining their pockets" though. Just shows how little every who is saying it knows. Rangers, unlike the Real's of the world, are trying to manage that debt now and ain't paying out big wages any more.

Rangers and Celtic would walk into the top 10 biggest clubs in the world list. Anyone thinking different are kidding themselves.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are on a different stratosphere. They would not be allowed to go bust, they are special cases. Barca can call upon 100,000 season ticket holders. That is absolutely unparalleled. Real Madrid are bailed out by the Madrid council and banks any time they look like being in trouble.

If Rangers were forced to be run like a legitimate business, they would not be signing anyone, such is their financial state. I don't think Manchester United are the only club not in debt, either. Bayern Munich are a rich team, for a start. The top European sides draw in huge merchandising revenue, gate receipts and TV money domestically and in Europe.

I don't know about that the biggest clubs thing. It's debatable. I think Celtic could make the top 10, simply because they are a European Cup winning side, with a huge international fanbase. Rangers have a huge support for a British team, but nothig special in terms of worldwide. They haven't won a significant European trophy, either.

Consider this then.

Prso has gone on a free transfer, on a 3 year contract. He is 29, and has left a club in the Champions League final, furthermore, with Morientes going back to Real Madrid, he is guaranteed First team football, in a side which is gradually being rebuilt. The guy will be on at least £40,000 a week, at least.

You've gotta look at the reasons why anyone would sign for a club like Rangers. Sure they have history, but why would you sign for a club in a city which isn't exactly the most pleasant in the word, leaving the French Riviera. Why would you go and play football in a league where you have 5 big games a year? Prso isn't the same as Boumsong, he's coming to the last 5 years of his career, and a 3 year contract will be a nice little pay day. Boumsong was probably offered big bucks to go and play for a couple of years so Rangers could make money on him. Furthermore, Rangers are highly unlikely to be playing in the Champions League beyond the 1st round, and then, if they manage to get into the Uefa Cup, the chances are they will get knocked out. In a poor league, Rangers are miles behind the only other team who are capable of winning the title, why would Prso swap a more competitive league, because any number of sides could win the French league, for Scotland? It can only be for money.

What he said.

France is generally considered to be the fifth biggest league in Europe I would say behind Spain, Italy, England and Germany.

Scotland in comparison is pretty weak.

What does the league standard have to do with the club being big or not?

I wouldn't say their league is any better than the Scottish league really. Aside from Monaco this season, French teams have performed no better than Scottish teams in Europe over the last few seasons. Even a lesser Scottish team like Hearts and Bourdeux looked just as good each each other when they played head to head. I have been to about 12 countries around the world including 4 continents and I've seen more people wearing Rangers and Celtic shirts than any French team. Any team other than Man U and Liverpool actually (I'm sure Real Madrid would be there now since Beckham's transfer but they weren't then).

From what I have seen of the MLS, that looks more exciting that both the French and Scottish leagues. No team in it is close to their standards though.

Well in Japan and Sweden, they were definately natives. The rest are debatable or I can't remember.

But IMO if Rangers were a big club, they would at least do half decent in Europe occasionally. Read my words carefully, I never said that Moncao are better then Real Madrid, I just said that Rangers aren't as good as Monaco, and therefor I can't see why he would go there, unless the goolash is much more. Rangers do fuck all each year, I wouldn't even consider Celtic to be a big club, and they overshadow Rangers. Like ECG says, you have a good reputation. but the Scottish league is a joke anyway.

Did I ever mention how much I love Wolves

Also, I think Prso is foolish going to Rangers, he could have signed for a really big, in a much more comeptitive league, but hey, I guess money talks

I read about Colonel Gadaaffi's(sp?) son wanting to buy Liverpool.

He's the guy who 'plays' for Perugia.

Eddie Gray will stop as caretaker manager and work with the club in a consultary role.

There's been rumours that Harry Redknapp will quit Pompey if Jim Smith gets sacked.

Ha, Flo used to be the man, he scored some really important goals for Chelsea. But couldn't cut the mustard in Sctoland. And then was whack when he went to Sunderland. If you ask me, it sums up how rubbish the Scottish league is when Chris Sutton scores three goals for Chelsea in a season, one of which being against Hull, and another in the qualifying for the Champions League, he was a real joke, and was rubbish in his last couple of seasons in Blackburn. Look at how well he got on in Scotland, what a joke.

He was actually brilliant for Blackburn, which is why Chelsea spent £8 million on him. He had a couple of injury hit seasons after Shearer left, but Sutton was great there, when fit.

He was good when they won the championship, he turned rubbish, and couldn't cut it in his last few seasons at Blackburn.

And it was £10Million.

Dazz, don't be stupid. The only reason Chelsea spent so much money on him was because of his form at Blackburn. Seriously, use your head. I realise you were probably only about 7 when Sutton was playing for Blackburn, but he was top class, aside from a couple of season where he struggled with injury, and where Blackburn, as a team, struggled. Why would Chelsea even think of signing him if he'd gotten so bad, as you are saying?

Besides, Chris Sutton offers alot more to a football team than just goals. He's an excellent player.

Dennis Bergkamp only scored 3 goals in his last 2 years in Italy. Does it mean the Premiership is shit?

Again, I'm not defending the quality of the Scottish league so why harp on about it?

Very good.

Come to think of it, Henry never set Italy on fire either.
