Fantastic player in his prime....I haven't seen much of Milan in the last year so no idea if his legs have gone + he's an old codger at 34 (35 in January)....though I'd expect him to have great positional sense in defensive midfield.

He's desperate for a move back to Rangers and is looking at only 12k a week as he has enough money since playing for Milan for the last 13 years: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2156693/Rino-Gattuso-threat-quit-Rangers.html

Here's his wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennaro_gattuso


He's always been a great defensive midfielder -- would be competing I imagine with Fellaini, Gibson for a starting berth or would possibly be a good option as backup -- in comparison to Neville perhaps ?

I was also thinking he may be a good option on the coaching side -- much has been made of Rodwell lacking the hard tackling side to his game + Barkley needing to improve defensively and of course I'm sure Gibson and Fellaini could learn a thing or two from him....


For 12k a week he sounds like a great option as a player/coach if his wish to move back to his wifes home city doesnt go through.....

I'm NEVER one to advocate signing old players -- ONLY youngsters -- but for 12k a week surely the worst case is that our other midfielders and young players can learn from him on both the playing and mental sides ?

Didn't you read his comments? also, the comments on the site? He only WANTS to play for
Rangers

Just depends if he has the positioning to play defensive midfield....otherwise would be excellent on the coaching side in theory.

Good player= good coach doesn't always add up though. Otherwise Alan Ball would be the most decorated manager of all time.
 
So this isn't actually a rumour then? Just Zatara putting two and four together and getting 12 yes?

He's as bad as the Sun journo's.

Errrr I never said we were linked with him AT ALL.

Simply threw out there how it could be an interesting move for us.....

If you read the article + what I posted you would actually and quite clearly see that Rangers are currently unable to make any signings....he has set a deadline for them to sign him which currently looks improbable.

Yeah you're not wrong....in theory (as I said) he could become a fantastic coach....he could also be terrible :)
 
Look at Vieira when he came back to the premier league after a while in Italy, let alone the fact this guy is 35 and never played in the premier league....
