Cajun Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't think they should be fanning the flames personally, you just need to look at a number of forums to see people questioning the kid and a bit of spite in some of the comments about this "incident". They need to take responsibility for what they print, if they are passing on rumours that could affect the fans relationship with a young player I hope they are very confident said rumour is true otherwise it's counterproductive and amateur.

Thespence Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Fanning the flames you say, I think it is fair to say Pardew has matches & petrol in his hands & Pedro is chucking wood on the fire. They clearly don't say what the rumor is & say "if true" it is up to the individual who reads that line & how they digest & process that information, some will read it & move on, others will go looking for the rumor, some will copy & paste it onto a messageboard, others will throw a wobbler. Thats the way it should be for people read something & make there own choices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest michaelfoster Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ranger looks best as an impact sub still, from the games he has started (10) he has never really done much, but as an impact sub he puts himself about more. Someone really needs to do some 1-1 shooting coaching though as he is pretty awful at it atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I always loved Pedro. Probably my favourite player of all time, but the more I hear about him the more he seems like a dick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Even though he has brilliant potential, his attitude is a great problem which may ruin his career. Not exactly the same but, he reminds me Olivier Bernard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Awful lot of talk about his awful attitude. My mate has day to day contact with the players at the training ground and says that Ranger is far and away the biggest dickhead he's ever known. Acts as if he's a superstar, struts about, nasty attitude to the younger/reserve players as if he's far above them. Talks to the staff around the training ground like they are shite. The other players apparently laugh behind his back at him going on like he's some big man. Reckons that despite his timekeeping being better, while other players are there and ready for training he swans in at the last minute. Also reckons that he's heard a couple of the more senior players telling Ranger to get his head together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 It would be far easier to go along with all this shit if there was ever an actual story in the paper with a bit of proof associated with it. Wor Joey and former wor Andy knew how to tell the world they were dickheads. Nile needs to get on his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 All the signs are that the lad is a dick and needs a serious reality check. Fortunately more and more are realising this and that a bit of imposed discipline from the manager is exactly what is required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Would be a great shame if he blows the opportunity he's got at this club. He won't get a better one. Still, they must be telling him that all the time. So much potential, but without the right attitude he's just not going to make it. Hope he gets his head together before the patience of the staff runs out. Farming him out must be in Pardew's mind, assuming he's planning on getting a couple of forwards in. Will probably be a make or break year for the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but Pardew usually has a full page devoted to him ripping into the Ranger. While TF writes one line & does not use the word hate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I just dont think it is neccesariy to print wild negative rumours, I don't think it's worth arguing too strongly for each side of the case like, just saying I disagree.

Elliottman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Peter Lovenkrands has urged Nile Ranger to make the most of his chance to impress at Newcastle. Ranger has had a big impact off the bench for the Magpies this season and Andy Carroll's January sale has opened the door for the 19-year-old to get more game-time. But the England Under-20 international has also reportedly left manager Alan Pardew concerned by his poor time-keeping and his application in training, something which Lovenkrands admits he must improve. The Denmark international, 31, believes Ranger has the potential to make it at the top and has taken the former Southampton trainee under his wing. But Lovenkrands stressed Rangers has to help himself too if he is to establish himself in the Premier League after rising quickly through the ranks in the last three years. "Nile has a lot to learn, especially in training," he told the Chronicle. "There are a lot of things to work on and things he needs to listen to. "The senior boys can only do so much. You can say so many things - you just don't know how much he listens to us. Hopefully, he'll take it on board. Potential "He's got good potential, and he's a big threat when he comes on the park late on in games. "He's a handful - any defender will tell you that. He's a good lad, and a great boy to have around." Ranger is yet to find the net in the Premier League and missed a gilt-edged opportunity in the 5-0 rout of West Ham in Janaury. He now has just one goal from 21 appearances this season, which came way back in the Carling Cup win at Chelsea in September. And Lovenkrands reckons that once Ranger ends his drought, many more goals will follow. "He just needs a goal for his confidence," added the Danish forward. "I just hope he develops in the right direction. I've been one to help him a lot. Nile's a character." . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
