Amac9 2,060 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Give me David Healy over James Beattie anyday.At least he can still run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It will be a Jelavic - Healy partnership. Could be a good one both hardworking forwards who can score when provided with chances. At least Jela wont have to do all the running for Healy. I think these two could really compliment each other well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H72 265 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It feels as if Beattie isn't even worth having in the team, so having Healy too doesn't feel much better.I'd say we give Healy the chance before Beattie now but if he's as bad as the latter, then it's time to give Fleck a chance up front. Although I don't personally think that would be his natural position, he'd surely do better than Beattie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvager 498 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Unlike you to be so negative nvager?I know, but Healy's recent form does not send me into raptures. We have lost 2 great goalscorers in Boyd and Miller for next to nothing due to managerial incompetence and more managerial incompetence paid 1.5m + wages for Beattie and now we are bringing in Healy. We could have gone for a younger player with some promise surely instead of these over the hill rejects. Healy could not make the Doncaster Rovers first 11.I hope Healy proves me wrong, but I have big big doubts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healy could not make the Doncaster Rovers first 11.I hope Healy proves me wrong, but I have big big doubts.Miller wasn't reviled as a goalscorer until he was asked by management to change his game a little and given a chance to prove that he could score. I'd afford Healy the exact same chance to prove himself before I wrote him off.There is quite a lot being said around him being a Rangers fan, but I think that is genuine. If I had lost my passion for the game and then I was given a chance to play for the club I support then I'd certainly feel a freshness in my legs and be able to run that step quicker and jump that bit higher. Healy will revel wearing a Rangers jersey and I look forward to seeing him do so.But I am a little biased, I'm a big fan of the guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this season he will just have 1 year of his contract to run. We will then be in the same position as we were with Wilson, Boyd, Miller etc.As for Beattie after this year he still has another year to go. We extended Webster's contract for 3 years and in that time he has played something like 3 or 4 games.Is this all just bad luck? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madina 4,023 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Probably Healy. I would give him a change and see what he can do. Beattie has been given umpteem changes and doesnt look like scoring at all Both are about 5 years past their prime though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest therabbitt Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Like I said before I will be delighted if he proves me wrong, but after seeing Beattie in action this scares me.Don't be so pessimistic! There's as much chance of him being a flop as there is of him being a success, just look at Davie Weir, this place was in meltdown when he signed and now he is a club hero. We should learn to not judge until they have been on the pitch.Stupidly perhaps, I've still not written off James Beattie as a Ranger. If he gets one goal then he would get a lift and could kick on from there. I'm the other side of being too pessimistic though, I'm the eternal optimist.
