morla84 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 My only problem with him is that he's crap. That should be the only real criteria used. If he was banging in goals you can guarantee everyone's moral standards would suddenly nosedive. 'If he was banging in goals' being the operative statement. He's talented but he's a prima donna at the moment. He needs to get his head down and score some goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 So he's stupid, annoying and shit. We should loan him out and hope he comes back a little less of each one of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ranger has all the physical attributes to make a fine striker, I have doubts over his decision making though. Gazza was thick as two planks but with the ball at his feet he was a genius. Ranger runs around a lot but he's barely hit a decent shot on goal in the time he's been on the pitch.

Cajun Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 If Ranger looked and acted like Ferguson he wouldn't be deemed as shit from the performances he has put in so far. He hasn't been perfect, he isn't a Rooney, Wilshire etc and he has made mistakes but that doesn't mean he's shit. It means he needs time to improve and a loan would do that. Labelling him shit now is just stupid, at best it's fishing for bites. Either way it's silly but if he does come good the usual "well he was at the time" get out clause will be spouted.

Yes, because he's crap. He has potential, fair enough. But right now - at 20, btw - he's a very poor footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 "Very poor footballer" is a very poor description of him imo. His all-round play when brought on with 20-30 minutes left is often pretty good. You can't argue that he didn't help change the match in the home games versus Liverpool and Arsenal this season. It's his finishing that worries me. He clearly needs to improve so that he can affect the game for 90 minutes but I've a feeling he'll never score enough goals. And the signs are that his attitude might prohibit him from building a career on being a physical nuisance as an alternative (as a few strikers seem to these days). He's a bit of an enigma and needs to play week-in, week-out at a lower level. He's been a decent option as a substitute for us on a few occasions this year though.

Still, he's not a very poor footballer. He's an inexperienced player whose form is a bit erratic. Even with his inexperience he’s capable of changing Premiership games and we don’t have enough players who can do that. He's nowhere near the complete article and has a lot to learn, that can come if he works at his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 He'll improve, of that I have no doubt. But right now he's nowhere near PL standard, and this won't change he gets games in a lower league and returns when he's able to play with a bit of nous. He obviously has no clue how to use those terrific physical attributes in addition to his terrible technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own, but from what i've seen the lad can't strike, nor head, no control a ball with any real proficiency. Right now his reasons for being in the squad on a consistant basis amount to our own hideous lack of depth, his potential, and his athleticism. One with last a few years, the other two probably won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's envy really, they see a kid with a fantastic chance pissing it up the wall and they get annoyed. Turning down training with Nolan, off the field antics and mediocre performances for the first team. He's molly coddled by some on here who say "But he only be a child give him time." That's juxtaposed with others who say "He's shit, he either bucks his ideas up or he's off." In truth he is the middle ground, he's poor-average right now with the potential to be 3 and a half to four stars in a few years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Kid's clearly a muppet, I've not seen a great deal thus far in his career to suggest he's worth persevering with. And he needs to knock off the boring gangster bullshit too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Antec Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/06/05/nile-ranger-set-for-summer-exit-from-newcastle-united-79310-28820941/ United chiefs believe he needs a new start to reinvigorate his fledgling career and believe only a PERMANENT move away from the North East will give him that. He was informed a loan – on the table last summer – is out of the question, and the club have already knocked back one proposal that involved a six-month temporary switch with the option of a permanent deal at the end of it. That bit speaks volumes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Daft decision if true. Give him time, loan him out and let him develop. His goalscoring hasn't been there but the sort of impact he's had on a couple of games has been terrific. I'd be very disappointed to see him go permanentley at the age of 20.

Guest Stephen927 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think the club may be acting a little hastily here. Both the club and the player have time on their side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think we'll easily get the £1m for him. He could well do a good job for a lower tier team and there's potential for his value to rocket if he starts hitting goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Seems a bit premature, but then my immediate thought was that it could be a final attempt to get him to change his attitude. 'Threaten with transfer list'. I reckon he'll still be here next season like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
