Danny 9 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Keredine Idesane says it's unclear whether it's pre-contract but his understanding is we're gonna sign a St Mirren defender Kirk Broadfoot.All I can say is 'u wot'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 505 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Young lad who has made himself a decent reputation over the last few years.Can play anywhere across the defence so would maybe be a decent signing for next to nothing for next year's squad.

Boab 73 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I went to see St Mirren 2 seasons ago and was was impressed with Kirk. He reminded me of a 'modern day libero'. Ie, an attacking Central defender in the mould of Franz Beckenbauer.I think it could be a good signing, Gus seems like a good guy to learn from and aye, good from me.Lastly, slightly surprised at Danny's comments I thought more of him than that tbh or maybe it was a go at the unclear reporting from the BBC reporter.

Ibroxblue 131 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I've seen him make a few blunders, sometimes through overconfidence. But he's still young and would probably be worth a go on a Bosman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreckedroy 33 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 From what I've seen of Broadfoot, which admittedly isn't too much (couple of games live & and a few on tv), he struck me as a journeyman and no better than that. If he IS coming to us then I hope I'm wrong, but surely there are better players out there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,304 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Shows how poor our youth development was in the past few years!

californiadreamin52 339 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Daily Express said Rangers had informed St Mirren that they were inviting Kirk to signing talks next week with obviously a view to signing him, also I believe he is an x-hibby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac444 6 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 tbh I haven't seen any of this player so can't really pass judgement on him, but if its true then I trust Walter 100%, he generally has a decent record with identifying defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 9 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 St Mirren manager Gus MacPherson has confirmed that Rangers have made an enquiry about defender Kirk Broadfoot.The 22-year-old, who can play at left-back or in central defence, has been with the Buddies since 2002.The Scotland Under-21 international will be out of contract in the summer and is therefore free to talk to other clubs about a move.However, MacPherson told BBC Sport that he was not aware of any agreement being reached with Rangers.

Briton 394 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 He's much more skilful than Ian Murray imoI bloody hope so! I notice this: MacPherson said: 'He is just a kid, he is still learning the game'...he's 22 FFS. Is this peculiar to Scotland I wonder? OK, you're always learning the game, (same applies to anything as we all know), but kid at 22? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 56,380 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I don't think he can really be considered a journeyman at the ripe old age of 22.I think most managers consider players to still be learning at that age simply becuase most players don't reach their peak until they hit their mid twenties. Seeing people questioning what the guy can offer us when they have seen very little of him and he hasn't even played a game yet really disapoints me. People not backing the guy from the word go will probably make him more likely to not make it as a Rangers player.Some people can't grasp the fact that we need to build a squad who can compete in 4 competitions each year. There is no garuntee that Broadfoot will command a first team spot every week, but he is a reliable defender who can come in an do a job. Yes we already have players that can do that but at least Broadfoot knows the SPL inside out and will as a Scottish lad know what it means to be a Rangers player.I trust Walters judgement. Broadfoot's an under 21 international so the chances are that Walter has seen him play many times when he was at the SFA. I am certainly not going to judge the boy until I have seen him play and I think more Bears should take that approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
