Shuggy 1,308 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Has he ever travelled with the Columbia squad? He must be busting a gut to try and get in that World Cup squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smell the hotdog 4,015 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I’m sure @denya said he was quite down the pecking order when it comes to World Cup squad. Think they’ve got quite a few decent strikers who could go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and no disrespect, but the bit about smelling shyte seems reasonable as well, given the context of your comments. Stock market 101, buy low and sell high, well Alfredo's 'stock' is not high just now so good time to lock him in and benefit hopefully in 2 -3 seasons when his value goes way up. Think you're right about the shite part btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First season in Shitlands top league against dirty bastards that call thmesleves footballers, thousands of miles away from his own country, only 21, different language, different culture, trying to get to know his new team mates and team formations, how they play and the demands of playing for us, some shite players in our team, no decent experienced supportive forward, the behind the scenes bullshit with the manager and board. And as so many others have mentioned if he was wearing grey and green he’d be touted in the media as a raw future £30m player with all the talent in the world. You are having a fkn laugh. He is a raw talent that is averaging a goal every 2 games in the league. Given another few years he could be a great forward however right now he is not. He still gets caught offside too much, misses the target half the time. Given proper coaching we could have a 30 goal a season striker but I think it’s madness to suggest after 6 month he should get an improved contract. He is still under contract for 2.5 years should any bids come in. Half we learnt nothing from spunking money away.... what happens if he gets an improved deal... who else is then wanting one?

What happens if he gets injured or suffers a drop in form. Can we take the contract back. Will it be the same for the rest of the squad... decent 6 months and they get pay increased. Let’s wait 6-12 months and if he is continuously improving increase his terms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he score so many goals but he wont be near the team, there is many strikers for the team it is difficult. Maybe in the future and in friendly games first.

bluenoz 30,836 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I never doubted his work rate but the way he took his two goals yesterday makes me belief that he is going to be an excellent player. I was one who had my doubts because of his missed opportunities and heading abilities but yesterday proved otherwise. Sometimes I forget that he is only 21.

I know we have had some crap forwards in the last few years but unless he finishes the season on 20-25 goals in the league including a few against them he is not deserving of a new contract. Why don’t you do what grown ups do and judge players for things other than goals scored? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay why don't you elaborate why he should be given a new contract 6 months after signing the last. The average salary in the league he came from is about 24k and whilst he was at the largest club at 20 he will have not been on much money. He will be on a much higher salary here.

I’m not going to repeat myself. If you can’t see why he shouldn’t be tied down on a good wage, long term, then you should probably give up watching football.

He defo is deserving of a new deal, Current contracts as you say would have probably been for a new young untested player. He has established himself and we can all see there is Talent. New longer deal makes sense and keeps him happy at Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxblue 122 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Alfredo is a very good prospect, one we might sell for a good fee some day - but not any time soon, I don't think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
