Gary1999RFC 54 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 OLIVER BURKE reckons there’s every chance Barrie McKay can become the next big money Scottish transfer. The 22-year-old was the only Rangers player to trouble RB Leipzig in Sunday’s friendly match in Germany To win the game on my first start in the Red Bull Arena was a great feeling for me. “Scoring against Glasgow Rangers is a good feeling too. “It was a great atmosphere as well, which was nice. The winger is undoubtedly back to his best, drawing praise too from Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers after Gers’ 2-1 defeat in the Hogmanay Old Firm derby. Burke, who broke the Scottish transfer record when he made his life-changing £13million switch to the Bundesliga in August, believes that his Scotland team-mate has the talent to take him to the top. Burke said: “Barrie played very well and had a good match against us. “I don’t know him all that well, but he is capable of anything he wants to do. He’s a good quality player and I believe if he keeps working hard and keeps showing what he’s capable of then he could play at the top level in England. “I don’t see why not. If he continues playing his game for Rangers, anything is possible. He’s a great player and he’s shown that.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/449446/oliver-burke-tips-rangers-star-barrie-mckay-to-win-big-money-move-out-of-Scotland/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Tend to agree with him. He is our main asset right now IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth_Campsie_Ger 17,865 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 How come the press aren't saying he is a £10m player? Thought that was the standard price for a good player or is that just if they play for the scum Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,096 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If he can become more consistent he won't be at Ibrox very long. In my eyes, currently, the only real asset we have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzGers 425 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We need to get him to commit to a new deal, then he's worth 10mill or more if he keeps up his form. With 18months left I worry we will get buttons for him in summer if he doesn't sign Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If he can find a final ball, toughen up a lot, keep his performance on a consistent level. Then I agree the world is at his feet and we won't need a loan to keep the lights on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He is correct in what he is saying but so far he has been very inconsistent for us. Remember his performances prior to being dropped from our starting 11? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsey 1,540 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I love the wee man, has such natural ability. Just needs to find consistency and we have a hell of a player on our hands. He has so much going for him, but his first touch is absolutely sublime. 18 months remaining, we need to get him a new deal asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Wingers and consistency - is an enigma. The thing about them is that they can be having a quiet/bad game and then out of nowhere one flash of brilliance ................you have to tolerate the fact that they get closely marked, largely play in cul de sacs and doubled up on frequently. In the here and now current evaluations can be harsh. But history is always kind to their type. Anyone remember a guy called Davie Cooper? Consistent?

JR 1,480 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He's the best we have, undoubtedly. That says as much about where we are as a club, as it does about his ability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrfc95 4,255 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 We rely on him far too much IMO, he's the only one in our team that can actually make something happen going forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the Davie Cooper that ripped Rangers apart ,single -handedly, for Clydebank. Took us two Cup replays to overcome him and he scored in every game. He was younger than McKay is now and playing against one of Rangers greatest ever teams. If McKay reaches the Cooper level of inconsistency god knows what his value will be.

teddybears1872 129 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He is a talented Young Boy, But needs to up his physical side of the game, I don't think it will be long before we sell him for pennies tho.Can only hope they get a good sell on clause in there.

It's a trend that keeps going Unfortunately that's the only thing holding him back. He's far too inconsistent. He made Lustig and a few more of their international players look like amateurs at times but in the 5-1 game couldn't have looked a bigger shitebag.

He's blue he's white 717 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Aa some have already mentioned, if he can bulk up a bit - put in a tackle and work on his final delivery then he will be worth some cash. Right now, not anymore than 1/1.5mil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish he was always direct instead of turning back looking for a pass. He has the ability to beat most defenders in this league and he's not the slowest either. Bit of confidence and he could be worth a lot more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BailliestonTB 270 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 He's our best asset but very frustrating to watch at times. He's got bags of ability but inconsistant as in when he wants to show it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
