papaguy51 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I've never understood why it's all about what's best for Barry Ferguson. Surely it's all about what's best for Rangers, even if it doesn't involve our captain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Leaving his captain on the sidelines to wait for an opportunity was not an option. Those who believe in the credo that "no man is bigger than the club" underestimate the extent of Ferguson's influence both on and off the field at Rangers. Shifting Thomson to a berth wide on the left of midfield seemed the most likely outcome until the former Hibernian player suffered cruciate ligament damage that has ruled him out for the season. I wonder if Mr MacPherson has some inside info. Probably not. I'd be furious if we wasted Thomson out on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seal Walter's dream of 4 CBs, 4 CMs, and 2 ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Why the fuck would you 'shift' Kevin Thomson out onto the left Davis____Ferguson____Mendes____Thomson Thats why the person who wrote that article is a journalist and not involved in football, to even suggest that outcome is absolutely ridiculous! Surely Wally wouldn't have been that stupid to even try that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Wally wouldn't have been that stupid to even try that? Thomson has played on the left about 3 times in his career. I don't know to be honest, unless he goes one up front. Can you really see him dropping any one of the four? One of them will be sold in the summer, it'll save him a gargantuan selection headache.

Muff Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 No doubt Ferguson will get a new deal - I wouldn't be suprised to see Davis, Thomson or Mendes sold in the summer. Ferguson and Mendes can't play together so who do we leave out? Ferguson doesn't want to leave and you can't play all four! We are stuck with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvager Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Conjecture. My hope is that Ferguson is offered so little money he leaves. He has not been worth his wages for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thomson on the Left shouldn't be a option. As said above Barry always will get shoehorned in regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWWBK Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised if Thomson was for the off in the summer, sadly. Although Ferguson and Mendes must be on £60,000 p/w between them. Those kinda figures are a bit rich for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 King Barry will always play even if we had Paul Scholes and Patrick Viera as 2 midfielders one would be dropped for captain Fantastic.. Sad reflection on the team....train all week boys we have 10 places up for grabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw69uk Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Conjecture. My hope is that Ferguson is offered so little money he leaves. He has not been worth his wages for a long time now. Do we know what they are now? There was a piece in some paper somewhere the other week that it has been dropping since he came back from Blackburn regularly, in which case, the scenario isnt as bad I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornelius11 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 -------------Ferguson----------- Davis--Mendes--Thomson--Fleck/Aaron would rather have davis in centre mid but if Barry is non removable from the first squad then i feel this may work best if all midfielders were fully fit.

ManchestGer Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Moving Thommo out on the left to accomodate Fergie would be the most shocking tactical decision ever, IF any manager goes there then their coaching badges should be given away on Blue Peter. Plus what does that say for the likes of Aaron and others who can play on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radlord Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 We'd be better of selling Thomson if we're going to play him 'wide'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
