jafrfc 614 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 If Allan came in I think he'd suit the left of the front three. He can cut in on that side and drift along the line rather than playing in the centre.I'm happy with how Law, Halliday and Holt are doing in there and wouldn't want to disrupt it.

Wearethepeople72 1,845 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Think Law would get dropped for Allen.If we sign Allan I'd probably replace Templeton (would've been Walsh or McKay last night).That would likely mean putting Holt or Law wide which I don't think would be too big a problem as they would have the freedom to come inside.

hammer93 15,057 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 If holt turns out to be special then why is their a fixation that we should sell him to make money, we are Rangers and we need to keep good players to build a successful squad.

Gillete 1,338 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm with you on your opening comment,Gillete I've learned from experience it's unwise to pass judgement on a player so early as sometimes it comes back to make you look a fool I was also not real fussed when I heard we were signing Holt but the lad is on his way to proving he is a talent in the making.I was the exact opposite of you regarding Davie Weir because when Walter signed him I almost creamed myself as I have always been a big admirer of DW since he played with Falkirk in 1992 (Iirc he played righ-back then) and even then I hoped we would buy him.Never a player with pace even in his younger days, but his positional sense was excellent. Lets hope we are raving about the boy in a few wks time mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,331 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Lets hope we are raving about the boy in a few wks time mateI'm sure we will be raving about Davie Weir in a few weeks time,Mate! Holt I am unsure of Seriously though! I'll give you a name from the past and Jason Holt reminds me of him a lot.This player played a big part in my formative years learning how to play football properly so I think I am in a position to make a comparison.This magician is a man named John Livingstone McMillan..... does the name ring a bell?

50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 £5M? C'mon...He'd need to be playing week in week out in the SPFL and Euro experience for a price tag like that. Lets not get ahead of ourselves after 3 games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Nearly killed himself celebrating Wallaces second goal. Tried to run and jump on someone's back, only for them to move and he went crashing down to the advertising boards ? thankfully he recovered and is still with us.

We need to develop players and sell them on for good money. Middlesbrough just bid 12 million for Jordan Rhodes ffs We can't even compete with that league now.

minus22 207 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Really impressed, Looks to be a cracking prospect and another shrewd bit of business. I remember reading a number of hearts fans not wanting him to go, now I know why! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulReid 184 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Was his contract up at hearts? Mind him saying he left and one reason was him not getting game time for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 It's just a shame it's him that's sacrificed for Shiels every-time as I could watch Holt play all night, he's so intelligent, the way he finds space is something you can't teach, it's all natural. Definitely been a great capture Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Why this fixation about who is going to be dropped for a (possible) new signing? Under the new system we are not going to see the same XI starting and finishing every game, even if there were to be no injuries or suspensions. The days of a "1st team" are gone.

Gillete 1,338 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Off the top of my head , I'm sure he played for us in the 50s (a bit before my time ) Ill have to google him now to see if I'm rightEdit * A gold star for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He returned to Airdrie in 1964 and is still going strong at 84 yrs old. He was good friends with my father and was a brilliant footballer. They didn't call him the wee Prime Minister for nothing Actually his Grandson Ian Russell used to be on our books as a youth but didn't make it and went to Motherwell iirc.Jason Holt definitely has a touch of the Ian McMillan's about him.

Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 what a find he has been, this is the perfect example of a player we wouldn't have even looked at over the last 3/4 years past. He's gonna be a star, such an intelligent footballer and takes care of the ball really well. Finds pockets of space all over the danger zone and always plays with his head up and moves the ball really well. Watch him grow into a 5mil player easilyAgree that he's a very good player. Great balance and comfortable on the ball. His style definitely lends itself to Warburton's philosophy rather than Hearts 'more robust' approach.

Polo 1,433 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 He is a cracking player. Bags of ability and a real footballing brain. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of him this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not get ahead of ourselves after 3 games. Now if he was playing for the t1ms ? Easily would be valued above 5 million Seriously he is a good steady player a very good signing who does a good job on the pitch and who will only get better happy he signed for us.
