Exclusive
Gers KO Kop bid for Jela
By ROBERT GRIEVE
Published: Today
LIVERPOOL failed in a shock deadline day swoop for Nikica Jelavic.
SunSport can reveal Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish moved to land the Ibrox ace yesterday afternoon.
Rangers
dismissed the offer and insisted the hitman was going NOWHERE. King
Kenny was looking for attacking options after losing David Ngog, Raul
Meireles and Joe Cole.
He signed up Craig Bellamy from Manchester
City but Jelavic was on his radar. Dalglish chanced his arm with a
cheeky bid to take the hitman on loan before he made a more realistic
offer.
Then Leicester, who had a L6.5m offer turned down on
Tuesday, topped Liverpool's bid as they came back in last night with an
increased deal.
That, too, was rejected.Rangers insiders also
claimed there was a late L9million bid tabled for Jelavic from an
UNNAMED club just hours before the transfer window closed.
Kyle
Hutton and John Fleck missed out on a loan move to Sheffield United with
the paperwork not done in time and James Beattie's had his contract
ripped up.
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs branded Gers' L100,000 offer for South Africa skipper Siphiwe Tshabalala an insult.
Agent Jazzman Mahlakgane said: "They tried to get him on loan first and then they were offering L100,000. It's an insult."
