MisterC 12,262 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ok so it is a poor mans Ronald De Boer but yesterday and a few other times this season when he's on the ball its reminded me a bit of Ronald De Boer and his style of play back in the day. He does the wee step over and the change of pace over five yards RDB could do and the way he pinged the ball into far corner was De Boer-esque as well. Ok so while De Boer was way better, they have similar styles in the movement, ball control and also in their positions where they are best attacking from midfield or playing off the main striker. I can see some similarities and was saying to 2 of RM's finest about this during the game and thought would put this one out here as well for discussion.....

pipedown27ready 108 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I don't think we ever seen RDB at his full potential, where as I believe that Dean is as good, if not better than RDB during his stint at Ibrox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronald De Boer was absolutely outstanding in the 2002/2003 season. His movement, vision, passing and touch were a pleasure to watch. He even made Barry Ferguson look good going forward.He scored countless goals that Season with his near post run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

novosleftboot 6,285 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Fucking hell Calm down that man! I can only imagine you had a score on Shiels to score first, and have drank your winnings this evening? Yes, Shiels could grow into a more than decent player for us, but he's not at RDB's level just yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
