Nile Ranger

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Bearing in mind he was only just given a new contract, it seems very weird that we've suddenly decided he's beyond help. We've also stuck by Carroll and Barton even though they have done much worse things.

 

I'm still not convinced his NUFC career is over, and if we do ship him out I think it's a mistake.

[Guest Heneage]

 

what exactly has he done?

 

let's not forget he was handed a 5 year contract in december

 

He turns up for training on the verge of being late and he plays with toy guns.  If only he broke another players jaw.  Very little would have been said, in fact the club would have covered it up and pretended nothing had happened.

He's unprofessional at both training and away from the club. At least Carroll was performing, I'd also argue that you can't compare the two situations at all. I'm aware you will as it suits the point you're trying to make.

Fantastic, I've always wanted to have representations of my extended family and my dog kicked repeatedly in the face by Lee Cattermole and Karl Henry. 

[Mick]

Perhaps because he was arguably our most important player at the time? You might as well complain that grass is green instead of pink.

 

I couldn't care if he was the most important player on the planet, playing with toy guns or being almost late for training doesn't begin to compare to breaking somebodies jaw, or glassing somebody, or beating up your girlfriend.

 

We brought Ranger to the club knowing that he's done time, what he's done here doesn't even get close to what he's done in his past unless they are keeping something from us.  I doubt they are keeping anything of importance from us because we've known when other players have had trouble long before anything has hit the papers.  Newcastle is a city where nothing is kept secret for very long with regards to the football club.

[Cajun]

He's our Balotelli, he must stay. I mean, look at those shin pads FFS!

How is he unprofessional away from the club? Yes the gun pose was daft BUT 1 incident is unfair to label him unprofessional away from the club

 

At training the issue is that he arrives just on time and leaves as soon as his time is up, again that is no big issue

I guess Pardew just doesn't want him.

I'm not sure how you think the two situations can't be compared, is it because you don't want them to be?  It looks like two players have been judged by the club because of behaviour both at and away from the club, one has done worse things than the other.

Them shin pads are fantastic. Nile must stay

Ranger has not only persistently been late for training over an 18 month period but he has also shown a general disregard for anything not 'Gangsta' enough, shunning training opportunities with players considerably better than himself. We also heard from a senior player a while ago that he's not the most liked in the squad, with his antics spilling out into the street.

 

Carroll at least applied himself to his profession and became a focal point of the team. Ranger hasn't scored three times for the senior side. His highlight last season being that truly awful miss against West Ham. His issue with Taylor was not comparable to mouthing off in the Cinema or not being able to get out of bed in the morning.

The man needs a serious reality check..

He doesn't seem to have let the Pards rejection impact on his self image

I would say his highlight was coming on and changing the game against Liverpool

And similarly away at Arsenal.  If he goes we'll really miss his impact in the last 20 mins of games from the bench.

[Skirge]

Lets say Ba & Shola are injured so Best starts would you rather see Loven or Ranger alongside him?

 

I can't work out why we would keep Loven, he is past it.

[Guest BlacknWhiteArmy]

No one wants him basically.

Cheap wages and no resale value

And yet he can pop up and score key goals.  Ranger hasn't done that as yet.  Ranger needs a loan and ideally Loven needs replacing.  Yet if it was one or the other I'd loan out ranger and keep Loven for the last year.

I think you're being generous, and he certainly didn't change the game at Arsenal.

[SteveMc]

BTW if there are championship  clubs who don't want Loven (or Routledge) they are off their heads.  They are clasic promotion players.

[Punk77]

Loven isn't past it.. He will receive better passes this year...

 

Too bad with Ranger. His touches looked better in the last game of the season, against WBA..

Quite a big difference. It was Carroll who won us both those games.

[Skirge]

With any luck we will sign another striker

Ba

? new

Shola

Best

Loven 1 year left

 

Ranger 1 year loan

 

Would be better business....  Then if Nile has not improved his attitude & scored goals after a loan spell he can be replaced along with Loven next summer, but if Nile has ptoven himself then he replaces Loven in the squad.
