plumbGER 24,518 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Aye but he couldn't get a game for Angers. Good early promise and a lot more to come from him as he gets up to speed with the hoofball in Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,869 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Prime example of why you shouldn't judge players until you see them in the flesh. He has been outstanding so far and fingers crossed he can stay fit. It looked from the enclosure yesterday that he indicated he had tore something to the bench.

See I’ve read a lot of people saying that Gerrard confirmed it but did he really. I’m sure when asked he said can we not just enjoy the player just now ?

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,717 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has backed Lassana Coulibaly to go from strength to strength. The midfielder has made an impressive start to life at Ibrox following his loan move from Angers and netted his first goal for the Gers in the Europa League win over Maribor. Coulibaly has quickly endeared himself to supporters and become an integral part of Gerrard's plans. Rangers have an option to purchase the Malian international at the end of his season-long stay. And Gerrard is delighted with his instant Ibrox. impact Gerrard said: “He’s ahead of where I thought he would be at this time. "As a player, when I did pre-season, I always felt I needed four or five friendly matches under my belt, maybe two or three in the season, to feel in top shape and ready. "He has played three games in terms of maximum minutes. "Realistically he is still in pre-season in terms of match fitness, sharpness and game time. "So we believe there is still more to come. But he has found his consistency and the fans are buying into him. "As a player, when you play for a crowd as passionate as the Rangers crowd, if you empty the tank for them, and give everything you have possibly got in your body when you cross the white line, they are going come with you. "They are going to support you, they are going to be behind you. That’s the message for every single player. Lassana knows that. "He is committed to it and he has got the fans onside. "Now it is about him just polishing his game and finding that consistency and he will be a helluva player for us. "There’s an option within it, but let’s just enjoy him now and for the year. Of course we would love to have him on a full-time basis for many more years. "We admire the player and that’s the reason we brought him in, but at the moment it’s a year-loan and he belongs to another club. At the moment he is ours and we should just appreciate that we’ve got him in the short term.” http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/16411989.Rangers-boss-steven-gerrard-delighted-with-lassana-coulibalys-ibrox-impact/# Davie Mr Magic Cooper, MDYT2 and nelsonRFC82 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Mr Magic Cooper 515 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Cheers for that OP. That was an outstanding piece of skill from what looks like an exceptional player at this stage. He's powerful too, so won't be bounced about all over the place, like we've had to endure in the past couple of seasons. I heard Sportscene didn't show it. I didn't watch it, so just going with what I've heard. If so, why would they leave out such a piece of skill like that, especially as it was a real talking point with the tackle too? I think I can probably answer my own question right enough. If we do have an option to buy him, that would be excellent. I'd love to know how much that's for. In the meantime, let's just enjoy him. Great signings so far and a huge pat on the back for all concerned. SeparateEntityMyArse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkyrfc88 16 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Getting better game by game exactly what we have been missing in the midfield for years. How that tackle on him at the end of the video wasn’t a red card though is beyond me wee bastard made no attempt at the ball. Hopefully he will be ok for Thursday looked like he was struggling Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to the point of that fucker taking him out, was it not just after that (injury time ) he had to go off for treatment leaving us with 9 men. ( in front of linesman too).

They typically only show efforts on goals, I think they show red cards however yellows and most other fouls arent shown unless they are bad.

Right when he did this I remember getting flashbacks to the days of Laudrup/Gascoigne and the like. Hopefully we see a lot of exciting football and a high pressing attacking unit emerge.

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Unless we have an agreed price, option to buy means nothing if he has a brilliant season then they decide they want £10m for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
