BouncingBear 23 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 He won't be in the team once Edu, and Thomson are fully fit after having a good pre-season under their belt!Davis, Thomson, and Edu, when all fit, should be in the team ahead of McCulloch.Can I ask why you think that? McCulloch has been nothing but outstanding for us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunnyLoyal 1,136 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Big Lee has been one of our most consistent players this year and he has dug us out of a hole a few times.I would not be against it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordo7 147 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Not for me, i agree that McCulloch's been good for us this season, but i think Thomson, Davis, and Edu are better options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfajerk 23 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 if everyone's fit i would go with mcculloch and davis in the middle because then you've got a bit of eveything height , power ,skill and pace then you could stick anybody you wanted on the wings , as for captain i'd give it to shagger.

I also agree that his private life should be indeed PRIVATE but a Rangers captain should reflect abit of responsibility and self discipline to wear the armband.

Imodium 412 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I don't remember a player who has had a bigger turnaround in a year than Big Lee. He was playing at CB last year FFS, then finally found his position in the holding role. He digs deep, wears his heart on his leave, fights for the cause and I would love to see him as captain next season when Davie calls it a day. A great example for the rest of the squad and shows the ' No Surrender' attitude that a captain needs. Well done big man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the brown brogue 1,934 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Not really even worth speculating on next seasons captain as we dont know who'll be manager, who'll be bought/sold etc.On the subject of McCulloch however at the moment he is in the team on merit and until he suffers a drop in form then Edu will just have to kick his heels on the bench until he gets his chance.

BlueHunter 0 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I can't see a reason why not. In our current squad we are lucky to have at least 5 players that could be contenders for the captaincy McCulloch, Davis, Thompson, Miller and Mcgregor.....but i'd give it to either Thompson, Davis or McCulloch, lead from the middle is best imo.

Big Lee has been one of our most effective players this season and is not far behind Davis in the Player Of The Year stakes imo. He would be as worthy a candidate for the captaincy as Thomson, who has shown little leadership abilities so far in his Rangers career.I think that's an awful post.Sounds like you get your opinions on Thommo from Jim McLean's column, instead of watching him yourself.

Muff 245 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 The part about people only wanting Maurice Edu in the side because of his goal last Sunday against celtc is a load of rubbish!I think we all see what he brings to the team, and his performances last season showed that - replacing the disgraced Barry Ferguson was one of the reasons why we went on a winning run, that guided us towards the league title.Some on also mentioned Kevin Thomson, and having to up his game. I don't understand that one? The last four games he has played well, he had a decent enough game yesterday but was still struggling with a bruised foot.I reckon after a good few more games this season followed by a full pre-season, and both Edu and Thomson will be as fit and ready as they have been for a long time. Both bring more to the team, both can handle playing in the big games. At times, McCulloch looks out if sort in the midfield.If Edu's goal supposidly made him a hero, what did McCulloch's at celtc park make him... ? A lot of people changed their mind re McCulloch just because of that goal. He has had a good season but there are better options, and when available, should be in the team ahead of him, and thst goes for everyone and every position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEDIGNITY 33,715 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 ... captain us once big Davie retires?In my opinion I don't see why not. He knows what it is to play for rangers and he at the moment keeps the midfield together and has great communication with the rest of the team. Tbh I would rather see a Scot captain us than a foreigner and in that case I think big Lee has the capability. Whats your opinions on this?This is what's gonna happen anywies, telt ye this months ago but keep up the good work son ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyboy2009 11 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Big lee has certainly changed my opinion in the past few months, I've went from thinking he was utter shite n should be nowhere near the first team to thinking he's a decent squad player but should be out of the team when we have our other CMs available. Rangers captain? No thanks. That would mean him having to play every week and in Europe where, let's face it, he was found out. Thommo n Davis as my central pairing with Edu as back up n mcculloch there to make people laugh in training lol. If thomson was captain I think he'd rise to the occasion, I hope he gets it.

I've yet to see the Thomson that's talked about on here, and yes, I have been watching him. His tackling is generally poor although he has shown some improvement since he came back from injury, his movement off the ball is often distinctly average and his passing........well, nuff said! He's also shown a tendency to disappear in some games.I'm sure many will disagree, just as I'm sure some hold the same opinion as myself. That's what a forum is all about.
