isn't it actually £2m up front with a potential of £3m in add ons based on appearances? if that is the case then we only pay £5m for him if he turns out to be a regualr first team player and thus the total cost of £5m would seem very reasonable for a regular first team player. its a very similarly set up deal to the shelvey one but you seem to conveniently ignore this in order to try and validate your point.

the risk with waiting to try and get him on a bosman is that others would also be in the hunt thus creating more competition for his signature. also it gives Rangers another 6-12 months to try and persuade him to sign a new contract with them.

I suspect - but don't know of course - but suspect, Kenny Dalglish had a hand in the Danny Wilson deal... and I trust the King's judgement more than anyone's on here!! (no offence like)...

I think Ryan is missing the point. You can't compare Yossi and Wilson values really. Yossi is 30 and wanted to go. He hasn't much life in him and this will be his last move. Wilson is 18 and is the kind of player we should be signing, young up and coming and well worth a punt.

I would say its always a gamble buying young prospects but we need to speculate a bit more as Arsenal and other top teams do. The Arse spent £5m on Ramsey and at the time people were slating the then manager and chief exec for not going after him. We also missed out on Ronaldo, Wlacott etc.

Do you know why? We couldn't afford them. So why spend on an area where we're covered and not an area we're not like a decent striker.

To the guys saying that Wilson played CL football. You gotta remember that this was for Rangers, so not hard to play considering they have a Charlton reject playing and am i correct in saying that Rangers got 1 point in an easy group.

Also, to the guys saying that Wilson plays down the left. No he doesnt. He's a left-footed centre-back. Martin Kelly can actually play left-back as he's a full-back.

Lastly, Ayala and Kelly have looked solid when played. Kelly would have played when Johnson was injured but was unfortunately injured.

The point i'm trying to make is that we have to buy these young players while we can. I understand that other areas need strengthening more but we have passed up on these opportunities in the past and I for one am happy that we aren't now.

a charlton reject? are you talking about madjid bougherra? and if so you clearly need to go and find out more about what happened while he was at charlton if you think he is a reject.....

plus it is a lot harder to play with lower quality players than it is with better ones

no offence but think i'll go on the judgement of the scouting department and manager on this one. if they feel he's a good up and coming prospect then why not welcome the signing rather than criticising him based on the fact that up until this point he's "only" played for Rangers and in an "easy" Champions League group.

maybe we bought him now to steal a march on other clubs who may be interested? plus it's only £2m initially so even with our lack of funds it's not a big outlay for someone with a lot of promise and the potential to play an active part this season.

left backs and a striker will be on Roys shopping list. you only have to read or listen to his interviews and see the players we are linked with to realise these players are priorities. we have the money from insua plu with the money from the sales of riera, el zahr, degan, spearing, ngog there will be funds to recruit players to fill these positions.
