And the expression your handing out is that your not a fan of the team as you obviously dont want him to suceed. Will you still boo him if/when he scores against Celtic??

I have to say Im quite surprised by this thread as I actually havent seen much negativity. This might be due to the fact im on the other side of the globe and dont get the British Media plus I only come on here for Rangers chat so havent really seen or heard any other negativity. All Ive seen on here is people give there opinions about what / who is good enough (or should I say not good enough) for Rangers. - I dont think there is anything wrong with that at all. Certain posts have gone over the top like admitting to booing or wishing an injury on your own players - thats not real fans IMO. I admit to more than giving my opinion on certain players but ive never got personnel on them, just stated my thoughts on their game - yet people tell me to give it a rest. People need to realise what getting personnel actually is. I agree with what Wija says though, when you go back to Scotland there is a negative atmosphere in general but this is society thing more than anything else and not just directed at our club.

Good post Frankie, it just comes down to the time of year: We're all depressed with no football But id also say we all expect high standards of Rangers and we are in a bit of denial in the financial era we are in. We all still hope the Murray and Smith will pull a Laudrup, Gazza or Albertz (people forget it was WS who signed the Hammer) out of the hat. We are getting frustrated by the lack of encouragment and excitement the team has - we have absolutely nobody who we think can turn on a bit of magic for us. Yes we have a few young guys who look good but many just know for fact there game time will be limited. I agree patience is needed, i still think we'll add to the squad, I also agree pre season friendlies are for nothing else than shaking rust off the players after 5 weeks on the beach.

Our stalker in Holland will keep and eye out for him next season...eh Pete!!!

It would appear that Juffery is right, we need a full back. Papac looks comfortable at LB but if he gets injured I cant see S Smith playing too many games. Whittaker can play both sides and I thought looked better at LB but somehow I get the feeling he will be used as a midfielder and we'll see Dailly playing RB on occasion.

I dont rate Adam, Burke and Boyd but id never boo them, in fact I always want them to prove me wrong. Its disgusting to boo a player who is trying to win YOUR team a game. If I was going to make games this season Id try to counter act your nonsense by cheering Miller at every opportunity to show the guy he isnt hated by the straight thinking fan. And the sad thing is id probably get turned on in the stands.

Eh? Who isnt supporting the TEAM? Just because I dont rate a player is keeping us in the dire? How many fans dont rate Miller plus how many will boo him - lots!!! You wont hear me boo Boyd, I just dont rate him - simple as! And I'll continue to post that regardless. I also think having players that arent good enough IMO is part of the reason for us being in this dire - our standard isnt good enough and thats not singling Boyd out, that goes for quite a few players. We still need at LEAST 3 players who will walk into the starting XI.

It was beyond a joke 10 years ago, now you can almost expect it. What happened to Lafferty?? I agree with Gav, and have done for a while - S Smith will be lucky to become our regular LB again. Even if he gets fit, playing a run of matches is another matter. Im not bothered about Carlos missing out, id rather he not be risked.

But sometimes having heart isnt good enough. If I played for Rangers id be putting an unbelievable amount of heart into it and im sure everyone on this forum would as well, but does that makes us good enough? And I think he has had more that a fair crack of the whip. If your talking about players who havent had a fair crack of the whip the Gow, Buffel and Sebo come to mind.

The areas that Boyd needed to improve were brought up well before last season started and he just hasnt improved them. we saw a bit more effort from him in a few games but his first touch is still like he is playing with a concrete ball. If Cousin has a changed attitude then he will be an asset for the team!

His game wont be suited in La Liga, i think he'll struggle there. Henry had a poor season and he is miles better.

Against Falkirk or St Mirren then id go for Boyd or Cousin. Against Celtic or a decent european outfit id go for Cousin or Novo

Ive gone for Miller as I think he will play every week and he will be desperate to play well. Velicka will be a good player for us but he will be more of a No.10 holding it up for others to get in play. I also think if Nacho got a run through the middle he would get a lot of goals. That is some amount of strikers, and Barry hit it on the head we dont have a creator for them. UFC - Boyd worth 20 million???? Thats nonsense IMO. Was Kenny Deuchar worth 3 million for scoring goals in Division 3 - No! Therefore Boyd isnt worth 20 million, if fact it would take about 5 Boyds to get that value. He can score goals against Falkirk etc. If the Premier League clubs rated him they would be biting our hands of at 3 million over and over again.

Either that he is building up Hadrian's wall so its Boyd proof!!! Its Cousins attitude that concerns me though if he is staying on. I dont doubt his ability one bit. If he is a reformed character then he must stay and play but if not he has to go. The fact he head butted one player then went for Wilkie in the very next was the mark for me. You can let a player off with that once but to do it in the next game was crazyness.

I kinda of disagree. I think your history is important as its what builds a foundation to your club. Look at Leeds - In 2002 they would be saying look how good we are at present, then 2 years later they are dropping down the leagues. Chelsea would be the same if Roman left, but you know Man Utd, Arsenal and probably Liverpool wont be like that because their history and foundation.

Balde is an animal Pete. It would be interesting to see how many would take him though. I dont think he is a good player but he wins every ball in the air coz he attacks it and player.

The Mhanks are becoming active: Balde is allowed to leave on a free if he finds another club - I guess there will be no Balde Fanni next season then. Im surprised Walter isnt in for Balde seen as he is a centre half in his 30s. Gabriel Tamas from Auxerre is linked with them aswell. Marcus Bent joins Kevin Philips at Birmingham

Samaras completes move to Celtic after impressing Strachan on his loan spell. Must have been the only person he impressed then. Hleb set to sign for Barca for 12 million.

That Beattie move must be a wind up!! We dont need strikers. He isnt the worlds worst but certainly isnt as good as what we have.

No I meant Barry. I thought he was superb in 99-02 in that team.

I still think a rush for a midfielder before the CL games is more important than a defender. Cant see Cousin liking Wales much!!!

Where have you been for the last 2 days....He's agreed to join Milan :fish:

I hope nobody booked up for Andorra

He was a great squad player for us and fine servant when he played. He was part of possibly our best midfield Ive seen - Albertz, Gio, Ferguson (at his best IMO), Tugay, Kanchelskis, McCann..... But Gav is right, he then saw the pound signs and EPL and went downhill.

Yeah Milan are normally a cert for CL football but Man City have the ambition and possibly the financial backing depending what the Thai bloke gets from the Thailand courts etc. But Milan arent offering the same as Man City can for wages, they already stated they couldnt compete with some club for a player - was it Barcelona for Adebyeor?? Mind you they will probably give him a silly signing on fee.
