BEARGER 1,829 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Who is that? Lescott? Yes. As far as I know, was put on Twitter by a AV fan. Lescott is clearly off to #rangers #avfc #goodriddance Edited August 16, 2016 by BEARGER 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Lescott's the type of veteran we should be signing, not someone like Clint Hill. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,448 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think Kiernan and Wilson are superior passers to Lescott. It's the other side of the game they struggle with! You have obviously watched Lescott a lot of times!,I haven't seen too much of him,however he has a terrific CV and has been bought and sold for millions as well as getting 20+ England caps!,he can't pass?,Kiernan & Wilson pass the ball better? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,448 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Wilson is a great passer of the ball. He is,if he is given time!,he also gets caught on the ball a lot! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If we complete our business this window with Garner, Lescott and Senderos on board then I'll say I'm very satisfied. Another striker and another two defenders with decent CV's were always the most important signings at this stage I feel. Read on another forum today that Sportsound the Scottish football radio show presented by BBC Scotland which I never listen to, rated the potential Garner signing as 'dead money' for a 28 year old, yet they were wetting their pants last week at that tim club signing a 27 year old (Sinclair) for three times the money. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,448 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 KEVIN DAVIES reckons Joe Garner will relish the chance to become an Old Firm hero in the opening weeks of his Rangers career as he closes in on a switch to Ibrox. The Preston striker is poised to become the tenth signing of the summer for Gers boss Mark Warburton and is expected to put pen-to-paper on a three-year deal. Garner could make his debut for Rangers against Motherwell this weekend as Warburton’s side seek to record back-to-back Premiership wins. The Gers will then face Kilmarnock before making the trip across Glasgow for the first derby showdown of the new campaign on Saturday, September 10. And Davies has backed his former Deepdale strike partner to rise to the occasion as he looks to become an immediate hero to the Light Blue legions. He told SportTimes: “I think he will relish that game and he has certainly got a feistiness about him and the character to go into that game. They will probably need to calm him down at some point! “He is a Preston boy and he loved playing for the club. When the crowd got behind him, that pushed him on even more so playing in that kind of atmosphere will really drive him on. “He will put himself about with tackles, leave bits on defenders here and there. He has got everything in his locker. “Had Rangers not been back in the top flight then I think it would have been a different story depending on the finances and that kind of thing. “Often with players it is about the financial package and what goes with that but you also look at the level of football and the games you will be playing in. “He has got those games to look forward to and I am sure he will have one eye on Rangers doing well this season and pushing for that Champions League spot. “That would be a pull for him but everyone knows the size of the club and they are back in the top flight. The big derby games would be an attraction for Joe. “At 28, if he does well there then who knows what could happen? He might love it and stay there or there might be an opportunity to come back south of the border and play again. “He is much travelled so I don’t think moving to Glasgow will faze him one bit.” The capture of Garner is a significant boost for boss Warburton as he bids to add the finishing touches to his Ibrox squad for a shot at the Premiership title this term. And Davies reckons the 53-year-old could bring out the best in Garner as the striker looks to hit the ground running in Scotland after appearing for seven different clubs south of the border. He said: “When those conversations go on, the manager is a big factor for a player when you are looking to move clubs. “Mark has a good reputation, he did unbelievably well at Brentford and he has done well with Rangers. “I managed to catch a couple of games towards the end of last season and the work rate and style of play come into play when you look to make that decision. “It is a big move for him and his family but he has moved around and he has had a few clubs in his career. It won’t trouble him at all going to Rangers.” http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/14686165.Rangers_target_Joe_Garner_backed_to_thrive_in_the_Old_Firm_battle_and_become_a_favourite_with_Ibrox_crowd/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 “He will put himself about with tackles, leave bits on defenders here and there. He has got everything in his locker. "Diego Diego Diego" comes to mind! A Scottish version of course. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
