Amir_9 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I cant understand whats the hype about Ranger about, yes hes a promising lad, yes he has loads of talent and is a very talented CF who can hold the ball well... Eh? Overhyped but talented and has potential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Ahh another "Harewood is better than Ranger because he can tap the ball in net" argument. How many of Harewood's goals have actually required any effort? Most have been 6 yards out infront of goal. We could all score from there man. ... is that a pisstake? Ranger's missed countless sitters, man. You think he would have buried them two headers against Swansea, or pulled off that lob at Barnsley? Come off it man. Are you saying Ranger doesn't have the ability to score the goals Harewood is scoring? Ranger may have missed a couple of chances but look at Harewood against Notts Forest (couldn't even stick his leg out a yard to knock in a cross in the first half) and he missed a sitter against Boro. Ranger starts less games than Harewood and so, as I've mentioned before, most of the time when Ranger comes on we've given up attacking. We persevered with Harewood after some **** games, why can't we do the same with Ranger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I would. He can score a few goals and, mainly, should we let him leave then knowing our luck we will be hit with a trademark NUFC injury crisis. Then we'll be cursing our bad decision not to keep the fecker... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If Harewood's loan doesn't get extended, you can bet he'll go on loan to another Championship club. Maybe one of our promotion rivals. It is a shame we loaned Xisco out for the full season as he like others could of benefited from a year in CCC. I have a feeling the club are hoping Xisco does well enough in Spain that some club there will buy him off us. I can't see that happening though.

As for Marlon is there any chance MON may want him back now he is fit & scoring? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger's missed countless sitters, man. You think he would have buried them two headers against Swansea, or pulled off that lob at Barnsley? Come off it man. I can see why people wouldn't want anything to hinder Ranger's progress - cos we've seen it before with N'Zogbia and Duff, and subsequently lost the best young talent the club had had in the last decade. But Ranger's still only just 18 and we absolutely have to get promoted. Harewood's unspectacular but he's got 5 in 6 now and these are the things that really matter. Where's this idea that because I don't want Harewood to play so I automatically want Ranger to start? There's plenty of decent partnerships, all of which I'd have before Harewood. Ameobi - Lovenkrands Ameobi - Nolan Carroll - Lovenkrands Carroll - Ameobi To name but a few. And I'm not talking about Ranger's ability to make sitters. What I'm saying is all Harewood has done is tap a few balls into the net - at least Ranger has offered some effort and play to the team in his short time here.

Heron Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Goals are goals it doesn't matter how you score them. Probably about 50 of Shearers goals for us were pens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Umm....ok. It's weird how he got this far in his football career without the ability to stick in ball in the goal from 3 yards out like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Why the f*** doesn't he do it then? Maybe giving him 53 minutes of football since he scored isn't helping, telling him to go out and hold up the ball to stop the opposition will not be helping him either. “We were 2-0 up and to get a goal would have been nice, but it was case of going on, running around and trying to seal the game off, which is what Chris told me to do. “It was about killing the game off and giving it my all.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Why the f*** doesn't he do it then? Doesn't get many chances/snatching at chances he does get. It's obvious he can score the goals Harewood does. It's crazy to say that Ranger couldn't score from threee yards and anyone who says otherwise is just being contrary. On the other hand not every player can get himself into these positions but Ranger obviously can do this as well as everyone keeps saying he keeps missing sitters... And of course what Mick says adds to it. I've said it before, put him in Harewood's position and vice versa and Harewood wouldn't have scored as many goals as he has done.

Cronky Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Picking Harewood feels like a negative decision. It's important that we still try to improve and don't get into a mind-set where we're scared to take a risk in case we spoil our chances of promotion. I just see him as a clumsy player with a poor first touch. We should look to do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
