Dane hints return to Ibrox still possible

[CammyF 7,989]

Entering the last year of his contract in Germany - I'd take him back next summer on a Bosman or it a cut price (say circa �£500K) in the January transfer window. Better than most we currently have and looking for a return to Scotland.

Putting aside the other issues, where would you play him?

I was speaking about that to someone at the weekend. He used to hide - at times - when he played on the left and although he was good up front especially alongside Buffel for a spell - we hardly need another Striker at the current time. A year down the line if Cousin and say maybe Darcheville are out the door the I would take him back, but not at present

Play him behind the striker in a 4-5-1. Thats obviously WS's favoured formation and he would fit there perfectly. Give him a free role to move to either wing.

But we only got the best out of him when he was played as a striker through the middle. Stick him out on the wings and he just wasn't interested, particularly if the game wasn't going his way.

That's a good point, I can't remember a single position where he was consistently good.

 

He was a bit like Ricksen in that the Dutchman was criticised at right back and his excuse was that he played better in midfield, then a year later, while being criticised for his lackluster performances in midfield, he asked us what we expected from a right back...

 

However, Lovenkrands seems not only to be very restricted in his position, but as many of his admirers would even testify, he also needs the "right" players around him. As Walter prefers players with versatility, I can't see our manager being remotely interested.

 

It seems to me that if Pete was truly as good a player as some remember, then he wouldn't be for sale right now.

 

He had his chance to extend his stay two years ago, but turned Rangers down flat. Ironically he had his best chance of in PLG's system, but there little chance he'll fit in with Walter's team.

People seem to say this a lot, and also when we are selling players that if they were that good we wouldnt be selling them. Fact is every player on the planet is for sale if 1) the price is right or 2) the player wants a move.

 

Look at Ronaldo for Man U. He is currently the best in the world and Man Utd dont want to sell him but the move to Real Madrid just doesnt go away.

 

Arsenal just lost Hleb - a fine player but he wanted to move so it went through.
