calscot 0 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think a loan to start with would be a good move as we could see if he fully recovers and still have the option to bring him back. If he looks like a shadow of himself after 6 months playing first team football for another team, then it may be time to punt him. Rangers have a history of supporting badly injured players, and I wouldn't want that to change. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I am not sure even a loan move is a good idea. He is the ONLY natural left back at the club with 1st team experience. If we loan him out and Sasa gets injured then we have to revert to playing Whittaker or Broadfoot over there. Makes little sense to me unless the loan allows us to recall him at anytime. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Gossip column on bbc has the Record saying we're willing to let him go. Seems an odd one to me. Why support him through his injuries to lose him for nothing. Will just have been a futile and expensive exercise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon 0 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thank foof for that. Loan sounds a good idea with the option of being able to bring him back, but letting him go makes no sense at all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thank foof for that. Loan sounds a good idea with the option of being able to bring him back, but letting him go makes no sense at all. Agreed it would have to be a deal where he could be brought back. However if Papac got injured i wouldnt have a problem with Whittaker going to LB, he seemed to play ok there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 This rumour was first posted on FF by someone who said it came "straight from the horse's mouth". Amazing to then see it in the Sun and on the radio the day after. Things must be bad for the lad if we're prepared to let him go after all the time and money we've invested in his recovery. There have been a lot of rumours his career was effectively over, so maybe there's some truth in those after all? Why else would we be letting such a young, promising talent leave? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Major relief! A loan move is a good idea but like Jon said, only if we can bring him straight back if Sasa gets injured. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
