graeme_4 34,001 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Not too bothered really. Technically limited and severely lacked composure. His work rate was his strength, but he chucked it several times against the filth. Few amazing moments, but they were supplemented with some absolute shockers. With the narrow 3, Arfield, Jones, Ojo and Kent will all be ahead of him IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Prso's headband 34,992 Posted July 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2019 I find it amazing the amount of people claiming Candeias made Tav a better player. They’ve been playing together for 2 and a half years. It’s only in the last season that Tavernier has become an absolutely exceptional footballer, head and shoulders above anyone in his position in the entire league. That’s down to Tav, not Candeias and saying it isn’t is a total disservice to Tav himself.

pollok-bear 7,537 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Fuck him. Yes he gave his all for the shirt but for him to leave just cause he isn’t guaranteed a game every week just shows you his mentality. Not cut out to be a Rangers player and thinks he is better than he actually is. Ivybank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be more inclined to say fuck the likes of Grezda and Lafferty who’ve been told they’ve no future yet continue to sit and pick up a wage. But aye fuck him for not wanting to sit and take a wage and give us a fee when he could go for free at end of season.

Aye he may not have always been first choice but he would still have contributed and have had further big moments in a Rangers jersey. some of the attitudes on here are mind boggling JograBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t have played as much as he wanted so getting an unhappy player off the wage bill is good business imo. We need to start getting fees for players even if it’s 250k here and there. Our transfer income is shocking due to the absolute shite we’ve had over the years. KeyserSoze 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 14,438 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Tbf Players that have won stuff like leagues cups and that and play regularly for their national team will command a higher fee. Unfortunately Candeias has been afforded none of that so at 32 and a wage freed up its decent business imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he looked at the types of signings SG was bringing in and he saw the writing on the wall for himself so whilst still in a position to do so he looked after himself, I have no issue with his decision. Hopefully now this wage can finance or go towards a younger emerging talent who will fight tooth and nail to be part of the team/ squad moving forward...

MasterD 7,430 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Not a fan of his anyway but I don’t understand why anyone would have a go at him for leaving. A longer contract on more money (could be the last contact of his career), and probably been given more assurances of playing regularly than he would’ve got here. The replacement players are still pretty questionable at this stage but that’s the kind of decisions that will either make or break Gerrard and the success he has here.

cascadeshrimp 1,428 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Read a translated report from a Turkish source saying he didn't want his kids educated in Scotland, so fair enough Putting 2 and 2 together here but with him being Portuguese, was his kids in a sectarian school and getting it tight? i dunno Good luck to him, we have moved on a level and he has moved on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is worth more than that to us. We can't give him what he wants though, so I'd rather free up his wage, and get some cash, than have an unhappy player on the bench all season, winding his contract down.
