SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The truth hurts, we made a total arse of Charlie's Rangers career. It was yet another blunder by Bain. I knew he would be a superstar somewhere, shame it wasnt with us. We should be the ones raking in £6million or £7million for him. Walter knows best though, eh, asking an attacking flair player to defend out of position with the boo boys inevitably destroying the lads confidence. Good Luck Charlie son, im just so sorry it didnt work for you here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I think Blackpool will get 6-7 million for Adam. Every pundit down in the EPL has been raving about him this year and with the inflated prem prices! why not get 6-7 or maybe 8 for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueben_d 40 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 There is no excuse for the physical condition Adam was in at Rangers.For a 21yr old professional footballer, his fitness levels were abysmal. As a fan, seeing a young player consistantly blowing out his arse after 30 minutes and struggling to keep up with play, I have to question his dedication and commitment (as well as the dietry advice and training methods at Murray Park). If he wanted it at Rangers he surely would of got himself into tip top shape? I always felt he was well within his comfort zone at Rangers, the move away spurred him on and developed him as a player.Bang on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechnology 2 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I can remember when he played on left midfield for us, the only way you would have got him running up & down the flank was to have put an Ice Cream van on the touchline.Done well & a big move in the offing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 941 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 It's not a taunt, it's just the newspaper looking for a more interesting angle on things.Holloway's more grateful to Rangers than you could possibly imagine for letting Adam go for £500k after a subsidised loan, the last thing he would be doing is 'taunting' us.

He wouldn't have become the player he is now without the move out of his comfort zone and Rangers have hardly struggled without him.End of thread.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Well it seems to be hurting Adam more than it's hurting us. Hardly a mistake by us is it? We've done fantasticly since he's leftIan Holloway the big man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC82 15 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 When you see Adam now, it makes you realise he was only part of the problem when at Ibrox. Somebody at Blackpool has had an influence on the boy that was clearly lacking at Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 56,444 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 He's a talented player, I don't think anybody can question that , but I truly believe that the lack of expectation at Blackpool helps him play his natural game free of the pressure he was under when he was playing at Ibrox.

Bonkgers 3 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'll be the first to say that he was quite average at Ibrox, in no small part down to the fact that he never had a run in his natural position. Part of that was his fault though as he never really got himself fit. He did have a good run, Under PLG he played centre midfield and in his first season scored 15 goals! Walter then thought Adam was a left winger and proceeded to play him there and ruin his Rangers career! A blind monkey could see Adam was never a winger!

Cappa 24 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Losing a player of Adam's ability isn't really the annoying part, players come and go. It's the fee that pisses me off. Losing a player for 500k who is now easily a 5M+ player. I agree entirely with DBBTB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes hardly the first player who blows out his arse, the SPL is littered with guys like that. We had one last year too who used to score goals for us.His ability was lost in a defense minded set up.

Maybe there's something in their methods?Charlie was his own worst enemy where fitness was concerned, but the management team should have been ensuring that he was at his peak, through fines if necessary. To be honest he's not the type of player who would flourish under Smith and the move was probably the best thing for him under the circumstances.
