  1. In America we build (often taxpayer funded, wtf) temples to our athletes and here in Seattle we have the absolutely stunning, contemporary Safeco and QWEST fields (baseball and American Football respectively) but your stadium is more akin to Fenway Park or Wrigley Field -- a timeless wonder. I like how they incorporated the more contemporary sunshade and rain cover with the rest of the stadium. The brick work is excellent.

    You guys have a lot of assets and the ascent back to the top should be steady imo.

  2. hope they dont take him back at christmas? Is it our option to keep him longer or does both teams have a say?

    As a Champions Cup FM manager I would never pull my 18 year old loanee racking up MOTM performances with Rangers (and developing those mental attributes!) back at the winter window. But hey, that's just me :D.

    Seriously tho if Gedion is playing well and helping to lead Rangers to both league and cup success I have no doubt Arsenal will extend the loan. IMO there's no reason to rush an 18 year old with yet another move or to try and push him out of a great scenario. Rangers try and play a high pressing, total football with Gedion at the fulcrum and that is just what Arsenal (and UMSNT fans) want. I cannot see a better scenario for Gedion then where he's guaranteed 90 minutes a week at least and playing the pivot man in front of 50k while playing for league and cup titles. I wish Gedion was good enough to step into an EPL 11 and start twice a week but he's not quite there yet. Let him continue to develop in what is looking like a wonderful situation at Rangers.

    Again, I can't say enough how much attention Rangers now have in the US soccer world. You guy are getting a lot of attention. Hell, with the UMSNT struggling there are calls to bring in Gedion NOW.

  3. Glad you guys are liking him. As I've said repeatedly he's already the most technically proficient player to put on the USMNT jersey. He's also probably of the most tactically advanced. He sees the field wonderfuly and has the ability to put the ball where he sees it and shrug off tackles with just the easiest little movements.

    Hard to believe this guy was playing Maryland travel soccer when Arsenal found him. Whatever else you think about Arsenal their scouting of youth is unreal. US youth club soccer isn't exactly a hot bed of world class prospects. In fact most of our best players at the moment (Dempsey, Altidore for example) didn't come through the club system and instead were found in parks or in Clint's case honed their game against Mexican immigrants.

    IMO, and this is through all sport, the truly elite and gifted make it seem effortless. Gedion does that.

  4. The Inigometer is just fine, thank you. Otherwise he wouldn't be getting the benefit of the doubt.

    It's pointing to 'wary' just now, not to 'definite filth', which seems about right.

    Ha! You want me to talk baseball? I'm a White Sox fan. We suck. Luckily we can't get relegated. We have one of the worst offenses in all of MLB. The football equivalent would be Sunderland. Even when we win, it's not pretty.

  5. That's the way it should be Yank, but you'll soon find out that as far as the authorities are concerned it's fair game to hate Rangers!

    If one of our team did that they'd be all over him and us like a rash!

    As was said to you several days ago "welcome to our world!"

    Never Forgive Never Forget

    Wow, given you much money you guys certainly contribute to the FA in Scotland that is pretty awful in my opinion. Doesn't money talk? I don't see queen of the south drawing 50k for their games. Sad state of affairs if that is the case. Here I am getting involved in Rangers affairs 'cause of Gedion!

  6. I don't pretend to know the first thing about this Law fellow but if he has a little more bite in the tackle couldn't you sit him behind Zelalem and tell Gedion to run at folks a bit more and not worry about getting caught in possesion? Gedion looked a bit tentative today IMO.

  7. Tit Rae "Rangers have relied heavily on the loan market". Three players, only one of which started. Usual negative spin.

    not sure how you can spin it negative I mean if you are developing these highly touted youngsters it only improves the status of your club. Yea you'd like to rely on your own academy but it's not like half the squad is loans. Seems the announcer is grasping at straws to find negatives.
