colshy18 0 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 wait a minute here. are you saying FIFTY ONE games is not a lot of games? he was a youth player and i`d say that playing in an average of 17 games a season with most of them in the starting line up is MORE than a fair crack at the whip. if you consider someone like ross mccormack who has played not even a third of what namouchi has played in yet mccormack is TEN TIMES the player namouchi is and he`s got a much better reputation than namouchi through plkaying LESS games. namouchi was given more than a chance. if you can`t show what you can do in FIFTY ONE games, then you aint ever going to show it. bye bye hamed *le guen firmly locks ibrox frontdoor behind him 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLeish even said he brought him back to early from injury! Namouchi could be awesome under PLG!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namouchi could be awesome under PLG!! ok, take your point, but surely he wasn`t playing with an injury for 51 games though. point i`m getting at is that he just hasn`t excelled himself 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Agreed that he hasn't excelled but that is very difficult to do when played in a position you aren't familiar with. He has been injured a bit but that doesn't accouunt for 50+ games - but when you include when he has been played out of position it probably accounts for a majority of the games he has featured in. I think it is all a moot point though because we have Buffel and Sionko that can play in Namouchi's preferred position.... and also Elmander if he signs. Namouchi becomes a player that simply isn't required and it would be best for both club and player if he moved on as he isn't likely to get a game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juffery 0 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 It doesn't matter what position you play. If you don't have decent touch, you don't have decent touch. If you can't pass, you can't pass, if you can't beat a player, don't have pace and lack positional sense etc etc. namouchi falls into all of those categories and is a waste of a wage and a peg in the dressing room. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter everyone's feelings on how he's played so far, the only opinion that will count is a certain Monsieur Le Guen's. He played against Hamilton for 45 mins even though guys such as Bernard & Malcolm didn't. The general consensus is that these 2 are examples of players who Le Guen has told to find new clubs so from that dodgy assumption we can assume also that Namouchi isn't for leaving......

(yet) I would have thought he was still on holiday because of the wc. Surley he should have had a longer break. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
