Reckon David Bates might be regretting his exit?

[pcbear 10,913]

I really think the big man has it in his locker to develop into a top class defender, I think he might have been a touch hasty with his exit.

[Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133]

Fuck him, he is dead to me.

[livibear101 248]

He will turn out to be a great defender he is by far the best we have at the moment and would liked to have seen him stay but he made his decision so hopefully we have someone decent lined up in the summer 

[TMB 14,167]

We need players that want to play for Rangers as Mark Warburton once said.  Bates had every opportunity to stay and he didn't want to.  He'll be playing in the German lower leagues next season. 

[K.A.I 36,183]

Nupe - not one bit. We apparently offered him a pittance and he got good security and a good club in Hamburg.

Gerrard is a feel good factor just now but that’s all it is - nothing has been won or lost with him yet no ones knows how it will go.

[ForeverAndEver 71,484]

That's life, best of luck to him. 

Only two players on that park today, would have been 'worthy' of doing a lap of honour and he is one

The truth indeed 

[Tearjerker 28]

We offered him peanuts, he’ll be regretting nothing. 

[Bluekev 43,909]

He'll be back

We offered a guy who has played less than 20 full games for the club a very decent percentage in his increase of wages.

He ultimately chased the money elsewhere.

1.5k is a decent wage?

[Billythebear77 10,386]

We ripped the pish out him, that said we need better than him if we’re going to take back our title from the beggars

I’ve no idea if that’s true or not but the question is do you think he regrets and imo no - the feel good factor around Gerrard would change nothing as it doesn’t mean anything as of yet 

[plumbGER 24,518]

Good player the big man, we missed him when he was out.

I have no clue the difference in the club/players value, but a blind man can see he will be a solid defender and if we have lost him over a couple of grand a week that is scandalous considering the fortunes thrown at Mexican and Portuguese wasters, 21 years of age ridiculed by the fans at the start found his feet and form then became a first pick, that makes fuck all sense to me.

Compared to what he was on before and as I said not even completed 20 games for us

Was offered more than that anyway.

[sandyboyblue 226]

Sad to see the boy go, bags of potential. Timing was all wrong for him on this one, if only he had known. He may of stayed?

He’s alright - he’s basic - he can do the basics 

I think he looks better than what he does due to the other options being so bad.

i won’t lose any sleep over him going and I didn’t lose any sleep over Wilson going - they were the best of a bad bunch but ultimately we need money spent at the back and an improvement on both 

if Hamburg stay up I’d be amazed if David Bates plays more than 50 games for them the 4 years he’s contracted

According to David Edgar that’s what he was offered it’s a disgrace tbh. Dunno where you’re getting the “not completed 20 games for us” he has played 17 times this season and 8 last season..

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,720]

He's left to further his career. He'll improve there but he'll never be a top class defender.

Gerrard coming in and folk are bothered about David Bates ???

[Cracked Actor 722]

Most of us on here would have walked over broken glass for the chance to go up against broonaldo and boot his balls or spit in his twisted fenian face. Let"s not make excuses for cunts with no balls. 

[Lloyd 10,756]

I’m gonna miss that cunt when he leaves, gives everything every time he steps on the pitch and I love it, not top class by any means but he stepped up when we needed him this season.

How’s he got no balls?

[TMB 14,167]

Bates chased the money, not the 'feel good factor', so I doubt he regrets it.

I have no doubt Steven Gerrard will have his own players in mind, but imo big Bates is a proper old school defender and will be a goodun, to lose that over no money at all seems daft but hey its all about opinions.
