Ronaldo Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm nowhere near writing the lad off, but right now his scoring instincts and ability in the air do look completely crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 He needs a loan desperately, no doubt. Nowhere near a PL starter. I just find it very amusing how the same people that were all "Ranger's looked good in his cameos, he should get a full match." turned 180 degrees in 90 minutes and now refuse to acknowledge he may yet become a player. Carroll looked far from making it at the same age, then he came good. Don't see why there's not a chance it may not happen for Ranger yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm surprised no-one snapped him up for 35m or more after his 11 games with Preston. I mean, he did score a goal after all. Ranger OUT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol82 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 From what I've seen, and as thing stands, i'd rather put my money on Phil Airey. With Rangers attitude and arrogance, I'd rather drop him and give Airey a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 He needs a season in the championship like Carroll had, no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Nolan's talk-in comments are concerning. That he has constantly offered Ranger extra training to help him improve and he constantly turns it down. Also said he was the worst trainer. This lad really needs to sort himself out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I don't think he's too arsed about making it personally. I think he thinks he has already made it which in a way he has. Come from being in jail or whatever to having a cushy life which he'd still have if he played further down the chain. Not too disimilar to what happens with a few players from poorer backgrounds around the world. Once they've got a level of money and security they're not too arsed.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 The culture shock will hit him once he fades out of football at 21 and can't get a job due to no experience and qualifications in the 'real world'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 He really shouldn't be on enough money to make him comfortable, he's not even a Championship player as things stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine whatever money he's 'earned' so far, has probably already been spent (judging by the cars/rovers he's had already). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just confirms what we all thought anyway, a prick who doesn't really care too much about his progression as a footballer and is unwilling to put in a shift to improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I've said it before but it's a huge indictment of English football that players with Ranger's footballing ability are considered 'talents'.

In Spain he'd be scrubbing a filthy toilet at McDonalds. This. Regarding training, if you are outrageously talented, i.e. Romario, you can take training lightly, when you have nothing bit a bit of strength and pace to your game you need more than 24 hours in the day to make the cut never mind an extra hour or so. Honestly from what I see and hear the kid seems a waste of a Toon shirt number. Get rid. He doesn't even have the raw talent for this level man. As Ronaldo says in Spain they wouldn't even give him a ball out of kindness. Pisses me off no end that the likes of Ranger is considered a talent, being paid thousands and gets the odd game for a PL club. That's the state of our game though and just as much our club when the likes of him are considered footballers. League 1 at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone thinks Ranger is the English Messi, but he has a chance to be a good player if he knuckles down a bit (which it seems he isn't I admit).
