Insanely overrated...limited skill set, phoned it in for large portions of his Rangers career.

His level is Blackpool, or Wigan. 

League one, two...some smaller Championship clubs perhaps?

Never cared for him. 

TBF Liverpool fleeced us. 

 

 

Whoa buddy! - he also did it against some of Europe's top teams; some of his best performances came in the Europa, a step above the SPL.

Yip!!! Ripped Dortmund apart home and away, yet he's no better that a Blackpool player.

He went fat Elvis on us. 

 

You see, you cats are thinkin about the Kent that still gave a shit...where he was on point.

 

When he was swivel hippin it, vibrant, tearing up the pitch...punchin Scott Brown...scorin against them.

 

Not me

 

It's always the final memories that stick with me the most...and like fat Elvis, sweatin through a bodysuit, mumbling to himself in a diabetic coma at the Flamingo....that Kent is the one that will stick with me. 

 

BS runs into nothing, low effort, losing the ball...horrid passes...shots not even remotely close. 

 

Phonin it in. 

 

BOOOOOOOO!!!!

At the same time he cant cut it for Fenerbache.. The truth is probably somewhere in between.

I really believe that this "Kent didn't try" is a myth perpetuated by the internet.

 

I posted the following in regards last year:

 

"!Just had a look back at the MOTM threads from Jan-March

 

Motherwell March - 1 MOTM vote

Hibs March – 2 MOTM votes

Celtic Feb – 1 MOTM vote

Thistle Feb – “Kent deserves a mention”

Hearts Feb – “Davies superb as were lundstrum sakala and kent.”

St Johnstone Jan - 2 MOTM votes

Killie Jan – 6 MOTM votes

Aberdeen Jan – MOTM with 12 votes

Dundee Utd Jan - 2 MOTM votes

Celtic Jan – 6 MOTM votes “MOTM by some distance”

 

Yes, he had some fitness issues in April-May but to suggest that he didn't seem interested for the whole of this season is really unfair, and just seems to be perpetuating this twitter myth that he had an attitude problem for the whole of this season.

 

During Feb, many fans were hoping he'd sign a new contract and while some questioned his scoring record, I don't recall anyone criticising his effort or attitude.

 

Whether his performances and lack of appearances in April and May were due to fitness issues or the fact that he had decided to move, we'll never know but it certainly appeared to me to be fitness related."

 

He was poor in the Celtic game ay Hampden, but as I said, I really believe that he wasn't fit and shouldn't have been playing. He was thrown on by a desperate manager. 

 

You'll always find some fans who have an irrational dislike for a player and some of the hyperbole is unbecoming of a player who gave us a lot over the years.

Fitness might have played a part but I think that his plan to move on was the main problem.

 

Some players just lose motivation at that point.

 

He looks like he will not recover the motivation that we need.

We really are going to be discussing Kent for a long time.

I'm sure he'll be able to regain the motivation at the right club and in the right environment, neither of which he had in Turkey. 

 

I'm sure he'd do a great job for a championship club in England.

Whatever his strengths and weaknesses were, he'll not be back here.
