Devil's advocaat

Yup, for a lot of these clubs loans ain't loans, they're hires, PCP ballers.

It's bloody depressing reading how much money Chelski are throwing around, on average players that the new manager doesn't even seem to want to play. A bizarre club indeed.

I was gonna say Bassey and Kamara apart, but ran out of time as I had to drive home from Newcastle. Morelos has tanked, who's he playing for now? Lugar Boswell?. Considering the form he was in a few years back, he's had a mare. A wonder goal pre season apart, Aribo has had similar fortunes. He's about the only one out of them all that I'd take back in a heartbeat though. Patterson too now I think about it. The vast majority of the players who have left us since we came back up have been poor.

Interesting. Another thing I often think about, not many of the players we sell seem to acheive much, most of them seem to 'tank' as well. Lundstram and Barisic seem to be getting Kent type reactions in Turkiye frinstance. Morelos has died completely. This will affect teams buying our players IMHO.

My bad, I thought we'd signed him in January before we got up.

We've been doing it for years, Joe Garner was on £18k a week in the championship.

You can see the fear in him, especially playing them away. It's horrible.

Absolutely, he's been a superb buy over the piece. However, he's another one that we should have sold - I don't believe we never had offers. This will be even more evident when we come up against the reptiles and he once more shites it against a below average, workmanlike baldy winger. We need to learn when to move people on, not just to make money, but also when we've seen the best of them.

£65k a week. Jebus.

What was the extent of his role at the SFA? CEO? Tea lady?. Was his position one that had any influence?. I work for a pharma company, but ye canny hold me responsible for all we do.

Aye, and none of those two looked much better than what we have.

It is indeed, a good deal for both, Girona are getting a very good player for what is a reasonable fee in the current market.

I never said that either. That's twice you've misquoted me, give it a rest Cammy.

Have faith, quit greetin

I never said that he was a sub. He was kept in the limelight, always in rangers news, updates on his recovery, away with players on holidays etc. I believe that was designed to keep his head in the right place. I thought you were telling us all to be more positive recently, stop knocking everyone? Then on this thread you're a right whiny faced bugger cammy.

I'm talking before he was able to even kick a ball.

This. Psychological management is every bit as important as physiological. I recall us doing similar with Durrant many years ago.

It's been so long since we had a really good finisher. I'd like nothing more than big Dessers to be that guy, but he's not. I'd also love to be proved wrong.

Looks a pretty boy. Naw. 😉

Aye, the idea that he isn't a good footballer is mental. Sure he ain't gonna do 'baller' moves, but his game is all about power, speed and finishing. Gimme all 3 please.

I wonder, is this CL tie the first that both teams haven't been able to play in their home stadium?. Can't have been many I'd imagine.

Absolutely, the posts calling for PC to go were ridiculous. Very good result last night, well done Rangers.

Agreed, we need more than just a plucky, try your best, good guy. I'm with Gonzo, I'm quite happy with him as an option, but not our first choice. Did you not see the 2 classy finishes against Union Berlin? Listen, if he took all the chances he missed we would be watching Erling Haaland. In a friendly, no pressure. And 'if he took all his chances', well he doesn't, that's like me saying if I had a 14 inch cock I'd be doing porn, sadly I don't!

Aye, I'd give you that bud.

Big Dado was so much more than a goalscorer though, had a proper football brain, creative, a hardy bastard and an absolute talisman.
