He's blue he's white 717 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think the vast majority trust w & w in re-building our team and club. Transfer dealings and style of play, he has always said we need to supplement the team with older heads.

Lodgiebear 107 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I honestly think some have lost the plot on here.Mate, I was the first to criticise McCoist for filling the team with old stiffs but maybe MW sees this guy as the lynchpin of the team. I'll give him a chance at least until I see him play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Louden Tavern 1,765 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Role model signing. Makes sense as there aren't many in the squad. Fits W&W's previous transfer dealings and I'm happy enough. GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,610 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Good arguement. Its not an Argument at all, why would it be its my opinion. signing a guy who Derby released as he could not earn a contract after two knee operations is ridiculous. What's more ridiculous is posters comparing him to Busquets, Pirlo, or saying i'd want to sign Song Or Flamini. If Ally the Gardener had signed this player we would all be scratching our heads.

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think the vast majority trust w & w in re-building our team and club. Transfer dealings and style of play, he has always said we need to supplement the team with older heads. Eustice is no way Pirlo, have u watched him much over the yearsI never said he was, I'm saying Pirlo is the older experienced head that starts attacks in the Juve team, Busquets is the hard working type, covers for full backs and allows Barca's front three and other midfielders to go and express themselves. We're getting a very good alternative to them, considering where we are. The two holding mids are the anchor in a 4-2-3-1 set up. Someone like Eustace who has leadership qualities would be great to have in there. If we had signed a young, 19 year old holding mid, how much would that help the development of Murdoch? There needs to be a balance, and I can see Eustace and Wallace, with potentially one other, being the only players over 25 playing in our ''best'' 11.

Because you'd be correct. Why Warburton unproven at Rangers, yet we seem to be giving Warburton praise he has not earned yet. lets leave the backslapping till he has earned it. I actually thought my point was clear overage over the hill injured players are not what's needed at Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,121 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Obviously a guy that W&W like, it's not always about what the guy can do on the field, it's what he may bring to the training ground, the group of young players etc. The way that Mark has gone about getting people who fit a 'profile' I'm 100% sure there is method to what others perceive as madness!

VladimirWeiss69 802 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Good signing if it happens, last season we were always outplayed in midfield, Eustace will add that defensive solidity to the midfield, having a midfield consisting of players like allan or murdoch will be far too weak with no height, besides we need at least one or two experienced players in the team, and I think a CDM is the perfect role for an older player!

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'll probably go down the good old fashioned route of reserving judgement on him until I've seen how he performs for us first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcodebear 85 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I would point out that Ray 'Butch' Wilkins came in and did a turn for us at the same age. Not saying Eustace is the player Wilkins was, but he's the same type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 We are not going to agree on this but i respect you opinion.Fair enough I could well be wrong, it all depends how he is after two knee op's, but if he can prove he's fit and passes a medical, I have no qualms with the potential signing.I think it may be the type of player and position we're talking about, people would rather see forward thinking midfielders like Allan through the door and I agree to an extent Not expecting many people to have ''Eustace 4'' on the back of the shirts this year, but maybe you will by the end of the year Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,895 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Regardless of what age he is or how good we think he is or may not be...it's another option in a pretty bare looking first team. Experienced in the championship (several levels above our championship and SPFL) and by all accounts it's a short term deal.That can only be good right?

Difference is Ally would also sign two 33 year old FBs, a couple of 35 year old strikers and two veteran CBs. Let's face it, if McCoist was still manager, he would be tying up deals right now for Stephen McManus, Plug Pearson, Scott Mcdonald and the guy who Mohsni banjoed as our token youth signing.
