Great news for 'Gers fans - Blackburn want Edu

[Danny 0]

He's been one of our best players for a few seasons and we shouldn't sell him on the cheap.

 

I think you posted this for a reaction. And you got one from the inimitable Gazza.

Yet again some are far far far too quick to write of a young player , like every young player he is inconsistent but he has shown that with the right players around him he is very effective . But patience and Rangers fans dont go hand in hand

 

I wouldn't say 3 years is too quick. He was very good during the run in of 52, but otherwise he's been average at best and I think he's had enough chances.

Even though he had a shocker last season we can't keep losing players.

 

We haven't lost any yet!

We haven't lost any yet!

We have, those out of contract and on loan.

Ok, we lost Weiss, Healy and Diouf. Who's out of contract?

He was absolutely pish last year. Horrid, our worst player of the season. And I say that as someone who had high hopes for him and defended him when he saw a drop in form.

 

No danger has he been one of our best players for a few seasons. He has been here for the 2008/09, 2009/10 and 2010/11 seasons. He only came in late in the inistial campaign and did do very well, but only played at the back end of the season, he played 12 games in a 38 league game that season. We won the league and, whilst he played his part, he couldnt be considered one of our best players that season, he missed 26 games. 2009/10 OK, he did well. 2010/11 he was DIRE.

 

You give him more credit than he deserves Zappa...

He is now 25, too old to be called a youngster.

 

A 25 yr old who is an established international and been playing at RFC for 4 years should not be as inconsistent as Edu is.

 

He also should understand by now how little time you have on the ball - yet he constantly gets caught in possession.

 

"With the right players around him" is a term which, to me, is a cop-out for someone who cant cut it. He shouldnt need "the right players" around him to make him better - he should be holding his own on his own merits without requiring a better standard of player around him.

 

Barry Ferguson, in his first stint, looked a quality player even when he had dross playing beside him. Edu doesnt have that ability to look good with dross round him. THAT is the sign of a good player.

We lost Bartley, Weir is out of contract too.

Same can be said with Lafferty. He's had more chances than..........than, than Edu!

It's amazing that with a team of pish , dire players we constantly do well , I can go back to before the NIAR teamand the same arguements were being trotted out about players back then .

 

Lets face it we play football completely the wrong way , its all about rush rush rush , we are never happy as a support and when players who we cant wait to get rid of , actually make it elsewhere , we start bleating about them .

 

 

For example last year at various times , Whittaker was pish , Weir was past it , Bougherra should be sold , Papac wasn,t worth a new contract , Davis was crap , Jig should never wear a Rangers shirt again , Weiss was a waste of space , Lafferty was all of the above , Naismith would never fulfill his potential , blah blah blah blah
