jackrfc95 4,255 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Warburton not ruling out bringing him back as it seems he may be leaving Spurs. Is he the answer to our defensive problems? Would we be happy if he was the only CB brought in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyali 248 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 He is the answer. If the question is "which defender did we sign on loan from Tottenham last season?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,608 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 No he wasn't even the Answer last season none of the loans impressed me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafia32 93 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think we could do a lot worse than ball tbh. Young guy with potential and knows the script with our club and has knows the squad with new arrivals being an exception.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullies_bowly_legs 3,805 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 As a DM yes as he was excellent against the scum and sorely missed in the final. Now we are covered for DM's. But as a CB - we can do better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammy cox 664 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 For some Pique,Kompany and Hummels wouldn't be the answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobar 13,676 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Wouldn't mind if we had kept him on but he's not the answer after us failing to sign the other players we were after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo84 182 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 No. Peoples fascination with Ball is bewildering to me. He's no better than Wilson or Kiernen, cost us goals in the same way that those two did, he's not very quick and he didn't seem to have particularly good positional awareness. Not good enough.

Seems we haven't anyone lined up, and haven't been able to get and deals for those we did over the line. Might be him or nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AljayBoy 2,298 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 No. We need an experienced defender aged about 25 - 30 to come in and be good enough to be the undisputed first choice centre half, which leaves the other spot up for grabs for either Wilson or Kiernan to hopefully raise their game and fulfill the potential the management team obviously think they possess. Anything less puts the title in doubt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 For the limited position we have when it comes to signings yes, he is the answer. If he was a permanent signing I think he would be a far better player. I struggle to remember a match where he let the club down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum 160 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Dom Ball's form improved dramatically toward the end of the season as he was given regular starts. I would like to sign him permanently and pair him with Wilson. Surely to goodness Hill and Weir can bring the best out of that partnership.

left winger 14,173 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 If we want another central defender at the same level we already have, he'll do. However, we need much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 71,893 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 No. It's just desperation if we do because we don't have a clue who to go for because we have pissed about all summer not addressing the biggest hole in our squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less puts the title in doubt. Agree with this but think it will be very hard to get someone like that in given the budget we'll have. Think Ball is much like the other 3 centre backs i.e. if they were left out the starting 11 no one would be shocked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's arguable that finding the right CB is the hardest task for any coach. Many great sides throughout the history of the game can be almost identified by the CB partnerships, Rangers included. With our limited funds that task is even harder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 We missed him in the final in that defensive midfield position where he was excellent against them in the semi final but I doubt as a centre back he's the answer to our defensive problems.
