Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I like Rossiter,he's a real talent and has a presence on the pitch when played. He's been very unlucky wi injuries,some happening in training but hopefully he's regained full fitness and match fitness at Bury. Don't get some on here who dismiss young talent and at the same time criticize experienced players we've brought in.All about opinions I know but ffs support the lads and wish them well.

He played in arguably out worst European result. I said further back I don't think he's good enough at present. He may in future be but at present he's not so we'd be as well to sell him to a club down south with a good sell on clause. I don't think I have ever heard anything so absurd...most people who have seen him playing can see he has ability and a very good pedigree, I would even say that he was thought of higher when Gerrard wasnt at the club, so I cant work out how anyone would treat him favorably because he looks like Gerrard (which he doesnt). As for him not contributing, how is he supposed to contribute when he is injured? The worst result in Europe? I would suggest might be the 2-0 defeat by Progres? In which he played 70odd mins, he came on in the 70th min as a sub for Niko Kranjcar in the first leg, but played the majority of the second although I don't know how those minutes can be used to judge him? Especially when he didnt do anything wrong at either goal. He has shown for me in the games he has played, especially Hibs last season, that he is more than good enough to play for us at this level. The manager even said that in pre-season Rossiter was the stand out performer before his injury so I think there is scope for him to be given another chance this season and see where it takes us. His contract runs out next year (May 2020) and given that we paid £200-300k for him, its not a huge gamble to take, giving him a chance to prove his fitness and ability.

Fine let's spunk another three year contract at however many k a week on him just on this vague concept of ability and pedigree. Happy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy? Who said anything about "spunking" another 3 year contract? He has a year left, he has shown promise in the time he has been here, the management team know him better than anyone, the management team rate him, but you think it would be a waste of money? We have nothing to lose by giving him another pre-season and next year to earn a new deal.

Especially when he didnt do anything wrong at either goal. I remember, following the away leg (bearing in mind his age and restricted appearances through injury) he fronted the televised post game press interview at the side of the pitch. A truly terrible night and result but the lad showed character and strength to stand up and do this when it should have been the responsibility of a senior player if not the captain. He is a talented lad who I believe (should he now remain serious injury free) will progress in to a highly thought of good player be that with us or if/ when he moves on. Genuinely hope he makes this progression by coming back to Rangers... smartypants, terry739, whatnobeer and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Jack is a replaceable player. If there's an interest in him from England as rumoured Rossiter has a chance to take that role. He can also play deeper like Davis who is unlikely to manage 40-50 games next season. I'd keep Rossiter and I'd play him I can see a talent there that a functional player like Jack will never reach. Rossiter has only ever needed fitness and if he plays this season out and can be relied on he's a part of the team for me.

Inigo 32,524 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Personally think we've found a better version of that kind of player in Kamara. I reckon Rossiter's chance of making it with us has been and gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,592 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Will be tough for Rossiter if he showed the form Kamara did when playing I could understand the clamor to play him but he looked average in his few games played for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I don't think he's enough of an influence on games for a starting centre mid. He's average at everything so he gets by but in my opinion he is no more than a steady player.

Our gaffer will be looking at him closely as he was highly thought of at Liverpool and if he thinks he may get an injury free Rossiter then only an idiot would say no. If he gets injured again up here then punt him next year when end of contract, a few more months isn't going to make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things.

Ayrshire Blue 2,051 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I’ve got a feeling that under SG, Rossiter might be a player. As a boy, SG was a tear away BUT with a shit load of talent. Maybe he sees the same in Rossiter? I’d give the boy a chance under SG. 🇬🇧 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
