Jasper Blues 497 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Has Barrie signed his contract yet? Seems to be taking a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,610 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Must be something holding it up as he seems to be rated highly by Warburton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case why were there no offers in the window ?  Don't get me wrong id like to see him sign it as he's had a decent season and looking like getting better all the time under Warburton but to be honest I have absolutely no idea what's the issues with the negotiations Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Easily replaced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Barrie McKay easily replaced? I don't think so mate. Anyone with his pace at that age will cost at least half a million probably, or if from England more than a million, we were lucky to sign Barrie McKay in a youth free transfer. He has the potential to be Scotland's number one winger in the next 5 years. Everton & Liverpool were reported to be scouting Barrie, right when he burst onto the scene in the 3rd division, I think he could play at Championship & Prem level one day. I just hope he stays at Rangers for as long as possible instead of not signing a new contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 A easily relplaced hahaha A very special talent for this country. Find me a winger his age and with his level of first team experience who can beat his man 1 on 1 as consistently as Barrie does. Plays with such a remarkable confidence, a lovely player to watch. Would hate to lose him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso is King 64 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yeah we need him to sign a new contract. Hopefully he signs one before the summer is over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Barrie should know how easy it is to have it all one minute and the next have nothing. When he first appeared in a Rangers jersey he was acclaimed by the supporters then before he knew it was being farmed out to Morton and hardly able to kick his backside by all accounts. Now MW has brought him in, helped improve his game and confidence, and made him a regular starter in the side. If he wants to keep improving then sign the contract. If he wants to chase the £ then I hope we get a decent fee. I'd like him to stay but any gap will be filled and we will continue to get better with or without him.

allgers 735 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Barrie is contracted until 2017 so plenty of time to negotiate a contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate. Fraser slipped my mind, and I guess in the next 5 years him and Barrie will become the two best Scottish wingers. I think Fraser would cost a million or more right now so I would rule signing him out (unless I heard we had a bid rejected), apparently he's doing very well.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 McKay for me is like Zelalem, he is young, has lots of potential but is nowhere near the finished article. Â Hope the talks have only stalled as he could turn into a star under the right management and direction. Â If he decides to go chasing the big payday then it is absolutely his decision bt one he may live to regret. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,610 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 He should have been the one we tried to tie down first he's by far one of our best players this season. Then again maybe we have tried hard but he's thinking he could play at a higher level. We will never know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially younger players.  We've already seen scouts from down England have been up watching our games so it's not that unbelievable that they'd be keeping an eye on a young player that's doing well and wouldn't be much of a risk fee wise with all the money even the shit clubs down there now have.
