Heron Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 [quote author=heza09 link=topic=54870.msg2948169#msg2 948169 date=1304861911] I find it funny how just because someone aimlessly runs around it makes them a better player... When they carry the ball and keep possesion it's better than just running (or strolling) about and doing nothing of note. Ranger has eased the pressure on us a few times this season just by being able to hold/carry the ball and run at defenders. He needs to work on all aspects of his end product but if he is at least keeping the opposition defence busy he is keeping ours untested. Very valid points. His running and harassing of defenders is very good, but he has a long way to go yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 If he learns anything from Lovenkrands I'll cut my own face off. Lovenkrandz is an intelligent player, he just hasn't got the legs and strike partner anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 He's somehow managed to be the shittest striker we have, behind the holy trio of Best, Shola and Lovenkrands. That's some impressive work right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really isn't worse than Lovenkrands like Lovenkrands will score every 4-5 games so that counts in his favour. Mind Lovenkrands is as good as he's going to get - which is pretty shit. There's still the hope Ranger can improve and given a few games I don't think it's impossible he could start hitting goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare we think Pardew is now having an effect and he's starting to take his job a bit more seriously? Hope so. "And he hasn’t even had the chance to air the smiley tattoo he has inserted on his lower lip to celebrate his first Premier League goal." That would be amazing!

Hanshithispantz Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 He should get a chance to score his debut goal in our next 2 games, would be utterly pointless leaving him on the bench tbh. Would be a lot better if he can go into the new season having broken his duck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I think it makes a difference when you have some mobility all over the pitch. Usually Ranger is ploughing a lone furrow up front, today when he came on there was Lua Lua on one side and Sammy Ameobi down the other and the three of them were stretching Chelsea with their movement.

Skirge Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Loony Toon Newcastle United star Nile Ranger gangster gun pose By ALASTAIR TAYLOR Published: Today Add a comment (0) NEWCASTLE United star Nile Ranger was quizzed by club officials yesterday after he posed "like a gangster" with a GUN. The Toon striker, 20, was photographed holding the chrome handgun while messing about with pals before a night out. The Sun showed the snap to the shocked Premier League club which launched an immediate inquiry. England U19 player Ranger - who came on as a substitute in Newcastle's 2-2 draw with Chelsea yesterday - is a former gang member who was once locked up over a mugging. But he had vowed to change his ways. Bad boy past ... Nile Ranger Last night a source revealed the picture was taken after four pals visited Newcastle from London. The source added: "Someone spotted this bulge in the waistband of one of the bloke's trousers. "He was a bit of a hardcase and pulled out this gun. It was passed around and Nile struck up a pose like a gangster and tried to look like a real tough guy." A spokesman for Newcastle United said: "The club have spoken to Nile and can confirm that the item shown in the photograph is a replica firearm which is not an offence to own. "Nile regrets posing for the photograph, which was taken by his girlfriend at home." But Mothers Against Violence campaigner Patsy McKie, whose son was shot dead in Manchester, said: "Footballers are an example to young boys. He probably thought this was a bit of fun, but guns tear people's lives apart." Ranger, of North London, told after signing for Newcastle in 2008 how he was sent to a young offenders' institution for 11 weeks when he was just 15. He said: "I started running with a gang. We were convicted of street robbery in Muswell Hill. There was a weapon but we didn't use it. "Jail was pretty rough but it taught me a lot. The most important thing I learned is that I never want to go back." He signed for Southampton but was kicked out over his bad behaviour - getting two written warnings and being caught with first-team kit he wanted to give to friends. But he insisted: "Coming up to Newcastle has completely changed my life."
