aweebluesoandso 290 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Saw him playing for Newcastle a few years ago and thought at the time, i would like to see him in a Rangers top, Pretty uncompromising player, strong, with a good engine, but like i say that was a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Nolan was a real quality attacking midfielder until a couple of years ago, who banged goals in left, right and centre and I would definitely have him ahead of Eustace, even though they play different positions. Nolan is 10 times the player Eustace ever was and is almost 3 years younger. That said, given we're in the second tier in a league we're going to run away with, I don't see the point in signing him just now, particularly given he's going to have limited use for the SPL. If we were currently in the SPL challenging for the title and European participation, I would probably be more receptive to this idea. I haven't seen him play for a while, though it's only last season he was a regular in the Premiership. That's a much higher level than we normally look at. Whilst I want us to have a young team, we should definitely have a few older players and if we want ones who have been successful at the highest level, we're not going to be signing them anywhere near the peak of their career. Claudio Caniggia, for example, is a signing that worked out well, who we never would have signed in the vintage of his career. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 So did Neil McCann wee so&so lol... Haha that's true and one of my favourite ex-players too. Gtting back to Nolan he would put Scott Brown in his place. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTP 0 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 We clearly need experience in our side. Eustace to Nolan, it seems the manager knows what he's doing and I trust him in whatever happens. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If he were to continue playing his usual role, I'm not sure where Nolan would go in a 433 the way we're playing it. Would it mean two midfielders sitting deeper and only one--Nolan--pushing forward? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,179 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Andy Newport @AndyNewportPA 2m2 minutes ago Mark Warburton says reports linking Rangers with a move for Kevin Nolan are 'wildly inaccurate' 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,273 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Well, the training galleries will make sure that we know "all about it" in the coming days. As for Nolan, always liked to have him as a dark horse in one of my Fantasy League teams. Can play in attacking or central midfield, as well as behind a striker. All depends how fit he is. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-nolan/profil/spieler/3950 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) It may well be the manager fancies both players but given his age he may also want to convert Nolan into a more defensive midfielder - especially if Eustace's injury has returned. I had that thought as well, but in any event I think he would be an outstanding signing, he's a quality EPL player who should have a couple of seasons left in him, Eustace is a quality Championship player who's at the end of the line. Anyway, seems unlikely for the reasons given by a few posters; but he's someone I've seen play for West Ham and I'd want to watch in a Rangers shirt; can anyone truthfully say that about Eustace?
