Ridvan and agent to meet with Rangers and Clement to discuss lack of game time

[Sutton_blows_goats 5,345]

Should be a quick conversation-

 

‘Hi boss I’m frustrated at my lack of game time’. 
 

‘You’ve been injured for about a year and a half you walloper’

Left back is a problem position for Clement - Borna coming to the end of his Rangers career and Ridvan not what we need.

What do we need instead of Ridvan then?

I like Ridvan and I am sure he would get better and better if he could stay fit and get a run of games. Hopefully Clement will get our injury problems sorted out.

It seems to have become de rigeuer to say Ridvan isn't good enough, I see it parroted everywhere, when he's clearly no more inadequate than any number of other players who don't seem to attract the same level of criticism. Instead of running the guy down, why don't we leave it to the manager to decide if he's good enough ... or not.

I think Ridvan has potential.  I like his 'keen to go forward' approach and I think his crossing has improved a bit recently.  

 

Too early to write him off and I don't really think Barisic is someone we should be keeping around for much longer.

Someone who is fit to play in the majority of games would be a great start.

Too early? he's been here 18 months, hardly been fit and looks like he is being over looked by 3 consecutive managers.

Fair enough. I'm not 'in the know' about his injuries or general fitness.  I trust the manager to do the right thing - he'll know far more about the situation than us.

That doesn't mean he is good enough. Ridvan sending his representatives to speak to Clement regarding lack of game time showd Ridvan doesn't think he's part of Clements plans.
