CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Just noticed today that he's missing the Ne'erday clashes with the Mhanks (plus other games) due to his international commitments - none of which was unexpected, of course, but his 'previous' would indicate he's more concerned about the World Cup than the club who pay his wages. Good player (not as great as he thinks he is), but I'd sell him. Opinions? :pierre: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he probably is actually We must keep him, tho a bit miffed he's missing the old firm game His attitude to internationals is a real shame for us.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 No-one is going to buy someone that is going to be away for a month. Still don't see why people want to sell our best player?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwrfc 32 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 His attitudes shite, Bougherra is the type of player Rangers should have abundance of, its sad but i'd keep him sheerly for his ability, we need it atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnclosureBear 2,972 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If we are going to sell him, I'd rather wait off until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 People need to remember, Bougherra has been late once without reason - and was duely punished for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson 2 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Like it or not he is our best player Shagger aside. Selling him would probably see us blow the title and make little difference to our debt problem. Keeping him and getting into Champs L next year is a far more attractive option.

Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 no we need to scrape together every bit of ability in the squad that we can remember the other side are buying in more players, we can't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 As was publicly stated recently, his 'commitment' (or lack thereof) was noted by the rest of the squad. OK, so it was only Kenny Mhisser who went public with it, but the point remains valid. We need them all pulling in the same direction.....I'm not sure Boogie is.

Right_To_Censor 1,951 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 i say keep him and the reason for this, is simple. If boogie goes come january then we can pretty much forget about a good chuck of cash for him however when he goes to play in the ANC and turns in a blinding performence especially against the english then you can pretty much say we might just get between 5-9 million for him. i hear man city are looking at him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,734 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Keep. Also pretty sure he said recently he'd do his best to make the January 3rd OF game. Said he was desperate to play in it and repay the fans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmico1986 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 has it been confirmed that he will miss the ne'er day game?? I understood that he would be playing in this game before leaving for the African Nations. I heard Algeria wanted him to attend a training camp but I was under the impression that he wasn't going in order to play against celtc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwrfc 32 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 i didnt think that national teams could demand or force teams to let players play or train with them, can we not just tell them to fuck off? its unreasonable for them to demand this with that run of games.

Actually I think they can - the only get out (as far as I know) is an injury to the player whereby the club can deem him unfit to play nationally - unfortunately that then stops him playing for his club team (it avoids club's pulling a flanker). It's a mess, regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I would prefer to keep him and move him to right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza 21 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My initial reaction was yes, get him punted. Unfortunately, the poor state of our squad means we'd just be weakening the team further by doing so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Keep Bougherra, if he goes there will be no replacement and we need all of our best players to have a crack at the title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 1 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Keep him, he's our best player imo. We knew he'd be playing in the African nations and if Algeria request that he joins a training camp then we it's not Bougherra's fault. P.S I thought he was playing in new year game?

Muff 245 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Smith said: "He has asked if he can stay until after the Old Firm game, but so far he hasn't been given permission. "Hopefully there can be a resolution and we won't lose him for the game." They are away from 27 December," said Smith of players starring in the African Cup of Nations. "If they reach the final, they are not back until 3 or 4 February, so it's a long spell away, but when you sign an African player you know every couple of years you are going to have that loss. "It's something we have always known was going to happen, so we have to accommodate the loss of the player." Look's to me as if Bougherra has asked to be allowed to play in the celtc match. I see Paul Le Guen is allowing Landry N'Guemo to play in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo 28 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Bougherra has asked to be allowed to travel to the African Nations Cup straight after the Old Firm game on January 3rd. If permission is denied then he would miss the games away to Hibs, home to Dundee Utd and of course the New Year Old Firm clash. But Bougherra has said to Algeria he would like to stay for these 3 matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
