Suggesting otherwise is just nonsense. I think when he has an off day we have an off day. More consistently he needs but at the same time when he's not on his top,game then some can't else should be stepping up. Easily our best midfielder.

Understands about a team ethic, even when not playing well he still tries. When he's subbed he doesn't throw the toys out the pram. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philiprfc 1,799 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Let's be fair, it's a nonsense story. I think he's class though, and I think the way we are starting to use him out wide is where we will start to see the best of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 £10m for Arfield Place is full of absolute moon units. I like Arfield, he's a good player and I wouldn't want to lose him but we got him for nothing and he'll be pushing 31 by the time next season starts so let's not pretend £3m-£4m wouldn't be a fair price. Comparing this to Southampton signing a 26 year old Stuart Armstrong for £7m is ridiculous as well Amokachi, TheKingObv and BlueSuedeSambas 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_rfc 122 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I am not debating whether or not 3m is a fair price for a player of his age etc... Like I said before he might be worth 3m but if you cant find an upgrade on him for that price then you may as well keep him. The most likely scenario is you sell him for 3m, buy some retard from down south who has an inflated price tag who gives you nowhere near as much on the park.

Down there if ithey gets them 2 good seasons out of him and they stay up then it's a success, I agree about the age factor but nowadays players in their 30's go for millions. Me I can't get my head around players price tags , like £14m for Kent, as good as he is £14m? We all don't have big fancy sky deals , some of us still rely on season ticket money, cup games , Europe happy with group stages and merchandise for our main source of income. You could take many a player like Gough ,Gazza, McCall, Hateley, McCoist , Laudrup,Numan, Van bronckhorst, I could go on but how much would any of them be worrth in their prime at Rangers If Kent is worth £14m I would rather get very good bosmans and pay them the wages for 2 seasons than pay crazy prices like championship teams down south do. The truth is we can't compete money wise but who would not want to play against the taigs or a top European game at Ibrox ?

Are you mentally challenged or something? We’re comparing him to players he plays against in the league he plays in and he’s the best in terms of contributing to goals. So he’s better than every attacking midfielder in the league he plays in. How hard is this to understand lol You wanting him compared across Europe aye? Which is a totally irrelevant.

Don't know how else to write this. Even tried using google translate but they had no language option for mongo. You are basically justifying him being good because he is better than midfielders in the fucking Scottish league. Im saying thats no a good enough method to measure a player for Rangers.

Bobby Hume 13,045 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 One hat trick and Arfield becomes Messi ..... all good and well having huge TV deals .... but up here Arfield is a decent player compared to the rest in the SPFL .... if Southhampton are prepared to pay£3 to £5 million? .... I think we may be tempted to let him go .... don't think he will want to leave though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant_rfc 122 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I cant understand why we would be tempted to let a player go for £3m when it will cost more than that to replace him and with no guarentees they will be as good. I know eventually everyone has to move on at some point but unless the offer is £5m++ which may or may not be realistic (nothing to a Premiership club) then I can't see him being sold. Then again maybe Gerrard/Mark Allen have a shit hot prospect lined up to take his place in the team already but I doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant_rfc 122 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 People also have this notion that because we got him for free we can't ask for a big fee. Lots of players move on at the end of their contracts in other leagues and are then subsequently sold on at daft prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
