[Link] Zan the man for Old Firm

THE Old Firm are set for a transfer tug of war after BOTH targeted Turkey centre-half Gokhan Zan.

Galatasaray star Zan, 29, is available on a free after vowing to quit the club to fulfil his dream of playing abroad.
He's currently on a staggering £50,000-a-week and while the Turks want him to stay Zan is prepared to take a 50 per cent pay CUT.
That has alerted new Rangers boss Ally McCoist and his Celtic rival Neil Lennon.
Sources in Turkey told SunSport the Old Firm clubs are firmly in the hunt for Zan, who has won 33 caps and, at 6ft 3in, is known for his physical style.
He would suit both Old Firm clubs, who have been asked to be kept informed of his situation.
McCoist is desperate to land a tried and tested stopper. As SunSport revealed he's already in the hunt to sign ex-Napoli star Emilio Cribari as well as Danny Wilson on loan from Liverpool. Carlos Cuellar could also be an option.
Lennon is keen to find a partner for Daniel Majstorovic. Meanwhile, Olivier Giroud confirmed McCoist wanted to take him to Ibrox - but he signed a new deal with Montpellier instead.
The striker netted 14 goals in his first season in Ligue 1 after turning down Celtic last summer.
And despite interest from Gers, he signed a new three-year deal with Montpellier last week.
He said: "There was never any direct contact from Rangers but they were following me. It didn't get far but maybe I can look at a big club like Rangers or Celtic in the future."

Would take him in a heartbeat. Thoughts and opinions?
​

 

yes please

 

anyone know if he's any good?

 

Yes please really good centre back, the turkish national team is pretty good too, seen him play a few times and hes the kind of centre back thats a step up from the ones we have right now.

 

"Lennon is keen to find a partner for Daniel Majstorovic"

A Partner??? Seriously, Why Was K.Wilson brought in then. Danny at the end of the season wasn't the greatest but he is good enough for back up I think. I'd rather another cb to partner Wilson and Have Rogne as back up to get him ready to takeover in the future Imo.

 

Would love this guy but this "sources in Turkey" bullcrap annoys me - where are the quotes - whos saying what, nothing as usual! Probably rubbish, but I would take him in an instance!!

 

Never heard of him to be honest. But we definitely need someone in to partner K.Wilson I think. Any 6'3 Centre Halves who can dominate and scare the * outta players is what we need.

 

You sure it`s not Gok Wan ?? - I hope he`s not gonnie do the broony ?

 

No quotes = yet more Scottish media lies.

 

Never heard of him but would welcome a new centre back.

 

i thought the Turks play as their first name. so this guy would be called 'Gokhan'. i vaguely remember watching a Turkish match with Gokhan at the back. could be him? as it's from the Sun, i won't be holding my breath.

 

If Danny Wilson or Cuellar are available then we should be going in for one of them as well. I don't give a * if they used to wear blue, either of them could help to improve our back four.

 

he has only played 16 times in the last 2 seasons, hope it's just paper talk

 

If its true then I trust Lennys judgment and if he rates him then I hope we sign him. Highly doubt he come to either of us for 25k per week when he knows he'll be able to get 50k per week elsewhere.

 

* that *!

 

That's more than Boulahrouz but people are still creaming themselves over him.

 

I'd like us to sign Danny Wilson. good wee player. Sure I saw somewhere that he was a Tic fan aswell...

 

I smell * with this.nevet heard of him either

 

i was getting all excitied there, thought i was gonna be getting a call from neil
