Smith seeks to add three new faces

25 July 2010 11:02
Rangers manager Walter Smith is looking to add three players to his squad but is wary of making more mistakes in the transfer market. Smith has not bought a player since August 2008 and has lost six first-team players since the end of last season. Rangers had a bid of around £2million accepted for Burnley winger Chris Eagles earlier this month, but the club could not meet the former Manchester United player's wage demands. "In the past in this situation, we've signed a lot of players who haven't worked out, so I want to get a situation where if we're going to bring a player in, he's going to be productive," the former Scotland manager said. "I don't want to be bringing someone in then a year later be paying off his contract. "It's awkward because we only have a bit of money and we need three more players. I need to try to get a couple of players in wider areas, and maybe a striker."
