Popular Post BOF Posted November 4, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2016 I can't help feeling it would be a mistake to let him go without ever giving him a try in the first team. Especially at this level. I know we're flush with strikers at the moment but the likes of Ayew & McCormack for example aren't exactly number 9s. Maybe bring him on in the latter stages for a tiring Kodjia. You never know how a striker will react to an opportunity like this. Look at Rashford at United. He wasn't even next in line in the youths for a senior debut, but 2 fortuitous injuries to colleagues and the rest is history. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself & Randy where playing with my Subbuteo in Randy's office one day which had became a common theme. We agreed that bit by bit we would build good teams and add more to the stadium bits we had eventually so we have a great stadium and new lights.. fancy sponsor boards and stuff.. After a while (a few years) we had built this great thing when Randy's new neighbour Paul Faulkner walked in shortly after arriving. Randy seemed to want him as his friend more nowadays instead, which was fine. The wee ginger dick tried to tell me to buy players from places like Argo's, Toy's R us etc.. but I always preferred to pay daft over inflated prices at Toymaster. Everyone and there brother could see I was getting my pants pulled down how much I paid for some of these, espeically in the January sales.. but it wasn't my money really so I didn't care. We were going to have a long Subbuteo tournament the following weekend until Paul Faulkner and Randy broke some of our team and pieces. Paul did it but I knew Randy told him too. I asked them both if they would buy new ones but Paul told Randy not to and they laughed and said play with what you have. So I took my subbuteo set and left. Te' buggery with them two wee egits.

Pretty much solely down to his performances in the Champions League, a competition Rangers will not be getting in for a very, very long time.

VillaChris Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I imagine we'll start seeing him on the bench again, probably today given we're missing a few forward players. Obvious tactic to make him feel a bit more wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Watford ITKs on Twitter claiming he's signing for them next summer seems like a very premature move from him, even with his contract out next summer he can't talk to them officially until May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadoftrinity Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Pretty sure Watford did the same with a Liverpool player in the summer so maybe there are offering these youngesters a fair bit of cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 The stupidest thing about is he's got 6 months, 30 league games, the FA cup (and seeing as we lose players to the ACON he should have got a chance at some point) before he can officially talk to anyone, his value could have gone up, his contract offer from us could have gone up, if this true then I doubt he'll get a sniff for us now, very very premature from him, trying to run before he can walk that Liverpool kid they signed was jerome Sinclair, yet to kick for them this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier League club with more money is probably his thought process. Seems to excel at youth level but looked very poor to me when he did appear, yes I'm being harsh given he had something like 20 mins against Newcastle but he looked to me like an utter headless chicken. As things stand we can't really justify giving him a big role, no way is he more effective than someone like Kodjia and you can't justify him playing ahead of players like McCormack and Gestede who are at least 'proven' at this level. Agbonlahor would also be more effective at this stage. I'd say that if RHM was that good he'd be getting more game time. If he mind really is made up and he wants to leave then we should discard of him in January since his presence here is a pure waste of money on top of the sunk cost we have blown on his development so far.

Popular Post PieFacE Posted November 13, 2016 Author VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well to be honest, I think he should have been given a chance rather than seeing Gabby back in the team. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
