Surely any sensible person judges a player on their recent performances and not ones from two to three years ago? Kent just had his contract terminated because he's been rubbish in Turkey. He was rubbish with us for two seasons prior to that as well (like absolutely useless). I'm going to call it Benign Nostalgia Delusion Syndrome.

Cerny has scored the same amount of goals that Kent scored in his final season with us, in 32 fewer games. And Cerny hasn't been great. #JustSaying

Sadly that what's our club has become. A collection of memories of triumphs and players from yesteryear. When got demoted we should have rebooted our whole set up from the bottom and up. We should have created a brand new version of our club that was befitting a football club in the 21st century. What have we got now? A club that lurches from one season to the next without any structure or bigger picture planning. We also have a large amount fan's who seem to think that 9 in a row was a few seasons ago. It gives me no pleasure in saying this but as the Tims have moved forward on all fronts at great pace and we've stagnated and stood still.

The constant want to go back to former players is boring. Have we forgotten what Kent and Morelos were like in the last year of their contracts

No, no and a thousand times no. He's a shadow of the player he was at his best for us. Koppen has spoken about the trading model recently, Kent coming in on big wages and a signing fee on a short term deal whilst investing big in Cortés makes no sense whatsoever. We want the board to stop fixating on the clubs success in the past and create new glorious history in the here and now - the fans begging Kent to come back fly's in the face of that. I'll greet if we sign him again. It would be an indictment.

You're literally arguing with yourself. I've only stated that Kent's return is very poor. It's a fact. I've not claimed Matondo is a better player - that's you moving the goalposts - only that his goal involvement per 90 is better. It's a fact. For me, goal involvement is a key metric; It's their job. If it was just winners medals then Scott Wright is better than all the players mentioned above (3 vs Kent's 2). Kent was a good servent, but your disillusionment with our current predicament is clouding your judgement (my opinion): his end product was awful (fact).

Time machines haven't been invented yet, so peak Kent is long gone.

CEOs do not get to dictate who is on the board of directors. As for the suggestion that Dave King becoming CEO, we do not need a 69 year old who lives overseas as CEO. Douglas Park isn't a director and Graeme Park is only one of six directors on then board, so I'm unsure how he is calling the shots.

You can get 14/1 for an Aberdeen victory on Saturday. Seems the bookies know Aberdeen as well as we do.

3 points and no injuries on that B&M fake grass pls mr Rangers..

All we need now is for him to use Rangers facilities to 'keep fit while he's looking for a club' and the media will go into overdrive...

Makes some of the arguments even more ridiculous (and I'm a fine one to talk!).

I'm not, and haven't been, challenging your opinion that Kent was a good player. You're entitled to it. I've only said his return was poor, which was factual. You've then went off on different tangents trying to argue against a fact. I don't see the point of this.

His contact has been terminated because he's a dud and we're top heavy with duds at the moment

Don't think I've enjoyed watching any matches on that pitch they use. I'm not confident we'll pick up three points, as we rarely seem to do well after international breaks and usually struggle at Killie. At least Celtc and/or Aberdeen will definitely drop points this weekend.

His penultimate season with us was even worse. His Goals per 90 is 0.15 over 218 games. That's Cortes' numbers after 7 (not quite full) games. Kent's just not very good; he never has been. He can beat a man but has no end product.

NAW. Just Naw.

Exactly.

Although the contract was still with Rangers and it was Rangers who suffered because of King's disagreements with Ashley.

Absolute bollocks, apart from Matondo.

Hopefully some daft club pick him up soon, so we don't have to endure endless rumours about him returning to Ibrox. He has been useless for a good couple of years and I very much doubt Clement will be remotely interested anyway.

Worth a few bob ,double it with Kilmarnock at 5/1 and you’ll get £1001 back for a tender bet

Reminds me of the fans who said they wouldn't go back when we signed Mo Johnston or when we resigned Kenny Miller!

3 points and no injuries on that awful surface. Don’t care what the score is as long as we win

Kent was never the same player after Gerrard left. I’ve no idea why. His last two seasons at Rangers weren’t great. However we are in desperate need for someone to play wide left. Matondo & Cortes simply can’t stay fit for long enough and we’ve been using Barjami there at present. Would it be a good idea to bring back Kent on a short term deal in January? Don’t know is the short answer. Clement knows all about Kent having tried to sign him before for Bruges. Whether he’s worth the risk or is willing to accept a short term deal on much lower wages than previous would be open to debate but Matondo or Cortes are not the answer wide left

Who? Everyone on here is quite critical of the team. (Are you trying to put made up arguments in my mouth?)

Wait, surely that can't be right!? 🤣

With PC you just never know when it comes to team selection. One thing he has shown is his reluctance to change his formation, so the 11 shown will be the probable starting 11. Only Lawrence and Dessers offer a constant goal threat (good to see Cerny ship in with a couple last game) so others need to step up and create / score. Tough game, terrible pitch, weather looking dodgy, can't say I'm looking forward to this game.

You're claiming as fact a subjective opinion. The raw stats show that Matondo has a better goal involvement than Kent. You can opine that Kent has contributed more, but you cannot claim it as fact.

I was going to post similar. Cortes - seems made of glass, been injured non-stop. Cerny - Does one or two good things but then over does things massively - Im not convinced but its still early. McCausland - Would start on the right for me at the moment. Matondo - I actually like but lacks a bit of end product. He has quality but is also inconsistent. Peak Kent was better than all of them.

He’s still better than some of the ones we’ve signed to replace him

He's been paid off after declining several offers to leave; he chose to stay and collect his salary. Fair play to him. Perhaps now he'll secure his transfer to Leeds.
