Just rumours.

Anyway, it will be a hell of a strike if we were to move away from OT.

Well I agree that It would've been a terrible idea but if they were offering 80,000 seat stadium I can understand why the board considered the offer.

It wont happen now for sure...does it make sense to move away from your 75000 stadium to someone else's 80 000 stadium? Definitely No.

Rangers striker Miller in AC Milan sights
05.12.10 | tribalfootball.com

Rangers striker Kenny Miller is being linked with AC Milan.

The Scotland international is in prolific scoring form this season and being considered at Milan for the January market.

Milan need a replacement for knee injury victim Pippo Inzaghi.

Miller is already 30 years old, but his contract expires in June and he would be available for around £1.5m.

In his career, Miller has also played for Hibernian, Stenhousemuir, Wolves, Celtic and Derby County.

Are you seriously taking Notw's report as a way to prove yourself right?
 
Zlatan better watch out.

Kenny's fine foraging up front on his own for teams that park the bus, hence why he's first-choice for Scotland and Rangers. He's had a tidy season and was in the past linked to Roma and Fiorentina after an outstanding performance against Italy. But he'd have next to no chance of making an impact at Milan. And surely if they wanted cover for Ibrahimovic and Inzaghi, they'd recall Borriello from Roma?

I seen to remember his best run of form for Milan was when Inzaghi was injured previously

I don't think Milan can recall Borriello. They loaned him out with a view to a sale, because he's one forward too many for Milan.

TEVEZ TRANSFER GOSSIP

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has stunned the club by *submitting a formal transfer *request in the hope that he can return to Argentina and be with his family.
Full story: Sunday Mirror

Tevez, whose relationship with City manager Roberto Mancini is believed to be at breaking point, has told friends he will carry on working hard for the club while he remains at Eastlands but is adamant his long-term future lies elsewhere.

Full story: The Observer
Tevez respects the club's owner Sheikh Mansour, with whom he gets on well, and City supporters - but has struggled with management. He has made his unhappiness clear at Roberto Mancini's perceived aloof style and the way in which it is felt that some key players have been frozen out of the team.
Full story: Sunday Telegraph
Tevez has told team-mates he is even prepared to take a pay cut to quit. City have offered him a £100,000-a-week pay rise, which would take him to £250,000-a-week - but he is not interested.
