Gers fail with new Juhasz bid
Anderlecht have told Rangers their latest bid for Roland Juhasz still falls way below their valuation of the defender. Ally McCoist is desperate for defensive cover after learning Dorin Goian will not be available for their decisive Champions League qualifier against Malmo on Wednesday. A hamstring injury to David Weir has created a gap at the heart of their defence, but Rangers failed to meet the deadline with UEFA for completing Goian's paperwork. The Scottish champions had an initial offer for Juhasz blocked last weekend before coming back with their latest offer, thought to be in the region of £2.5million. Yet Anderlecht are holding firm and have stated the Hungarian will not be allowed to leave for below their valuation. "We received a second bid from Rangers which is way below our valuation," a spokesman for the Belgian club said. "It is not enough for an experienced player such as Roland. Last season we extended his contract. He is one of our experienced leaders." Juhasz himself has urged Anderlecht to sanction the move.The 28-year-old dhnet.be: "I'm curious to know if British football is something for me. It intrigues me."I am 28, it's the last time to make a large transfer. It's a sporting and not financial choice. I can always go to Qatar or Dubai afterwards, but I'm not interested now."I'm ready for a new challenge. If I can leave now, I prefer now. It depends on the clubs."I'm concentrating on football. I have not had a contract offer from Rangers, but it would be the easy part."On what he believes his own valuation to be, Juhasz added: "Five [million euros] is too high. I think I'm worth two million to three million. Rangers will perhaps make a new offer, who knows?"I have given myself fully here, but after six years, I need a new challenge. I am beginning my seventh season at Anderlecht."I'm ready to play in a new league, with a new challenge. I need a change. In the modern game, players spend only three or four years at a club."However, the player says he will only consider a switch to Glasgow if he has the blessing of Anderlecht.He said: "Let's be clear - I will not conflict with Anderlecht, where I have had no problems for six years."It is a very professional club where there is never any problem of payment. I do not want to go to war in the press, either."
