RupertCommunicator Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I think the fact that the club are very keen to nurture young talent but are williing to let this lad leave speaks volumes unless it's a bluff to try and get him to sort himself out I think the club is committed to talent, but Ranger isn't a talent. Again, he's shite and should be nowhere near our first team. Ever. Would rather play Lovenkrands and Shola up front to him (and they are both turboshite too!).

This, from colinmk, basically sums it up: One of the few players you can say that had the ability to really scare defences last season. The raw potential is there but it is very raw and unless he sorts out his attitude it will never be fulfilled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Star reckons he's off to Bolton. Would be surprised if a prem club would come in for him. Saying that, £1m is a decent gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 He has some talent but his confidence infront of goal is shocking. Had he taken some of his chances I think this thread would be a completely different story, as it is he has become frustrated acted like a mong and put his career in jeapordy. 1m would be a potential bargain for a team that has a manager that can get him on the straight and narrow and focussed. I would rather see us loan him for a season to a championship club than outright sell him, he will get games and a different environment and manager. Could be gamble if he bombs, we risk getting nothing for him next summer but it seems mad to let him leave considering the large contract we gave to him just months ago. Think its entirely possible the club is trying to put the scarers on him. Hope to see him out on loan next year like he should have been this season, think there is more to gain doing that than selling him. That said the guys that work with him know a hell of a lot more than we do, so I trust their judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I had hoped it was just a case of putting the frighteners up him but it seems like they really want shot of him. He's only got himself to blame, and after being turfed out at soton and saying he'd changed his ways it's a real disappointment to see it ending up like this. His career means fuk all, it's an easy payday, it allows him to have the life he wants, and maybe a move will initially shock him in to sorting himself out I doubt it will last unless he really breaks through at premiership level and starts scoring goals. He'd then revel in the attention and ride on that for a bit once other bigger offers come sniffing. Some people are just trouble no matter how much time you invest in them, his problems are far deeper than we've paid attention too, maybe some babysitting by the club captain, curfews, enforced extra training and a club chosen social life would see him shape up and really anyone buying him is going to have to go that far to get a decent prem player out of him. Fergie would sort him out, only problem is he's not worth the time to a manager and club like that, so who has the time for him? I had hope it would be us.

Also says he could be a 15-20 goal striker next season if he gets games. Bit optimistic that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It's not that he isn't a talent, it's that he so far doesn't seem willing to put the effort in to develop that talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLK Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 He has much more potential than Ameobi had at the same age. During some games when Ranger came on for Shola after some 70 something minutes of being offside every f***ing minute, Ranger did so much more in the remaining minutes of the game. I would get rid of Shola who is not only rubbish and always has been but now getting old. Instead of young talented teenager who needs a bit of guidance and time to grow up.

Shola actually looked pretty decent in his very early days. As long as I remember, Shola has been a master of the offside rule. That is being offside. For me, Ranger definitely has the raw talent. Shola never had it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I just wish we could get a young player and he would not have the typical English / Young Lad of going out all the time with the lads and getting into trouble, instead totally focussed on his football. Would just be a nice refreshing change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I thought it was just white with that daft sticker on the back? Black rims, tailights blacked out, the 'Ranger' on the back looks like it's been done using the original 'Range Rover' lettering that used to be there.
