Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Has played 7 games so far, conceded 1 goal after 6 shutout's in a row. I know he's playing for a massive club in the "wrong" league but I have a feeling we are going to regret letting him go big time. On a side note, £8 million for Worrall? Then how much is Bates really worth? With it being a free transfer, we won't even have a buy back, or sell on percentage. https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=72597 https://www.transfermarkt.com/david-bates/profil/spieler/272539 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,913 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Bates was growing into a good solid no nonsense defender, it seemed like his choice to leave but yes he could have been a first pick by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefootwillie 1,518 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 It's probable that he is playing more first team games there than he would have done with us. I hope he does well and comes back and at some point plays again for us. He looks much more comfortable on the ball than he did when he was with us .

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 He’s playing more than he would have played here. Goldson and Katic over him every day of the week. I did like him as a no nonsense back up though and worral is still an improvement on him aswell markem 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 He was told he wouldn't be first choice which is absolutely correct. If we had been going into this season with Bates as one of our main centre halves people wouldn't of been happy. kanjo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'd have kept him but he wasn't that good that I'm going to be pining after him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 4,437 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I thought Bates had potential but in my opinion both Goldson and Katic are better than him. The fact he was one of our better performers last season says more about how poor we were. The moment he decided not to stay even though he new Gerrard was coming in was when I stopped really caring about him to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did, was it the sort of contract you would expect for a first team Rangers player? It has been reported by Bates of the process that took place. Hamburg came to watch him at Ibrox a few times - they contacted him - whilst that was going on Rangers or Murty were dragging their heels - and low & behold he gets talked I to going to Hamburg. Not the first time a player has been given an offer he canny refuse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
