Muiry12 7 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Can see potential but not quite getting as excited as a lot of people on here, he doesn't do anything special really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muiry12 7 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 How can you argue with that point really? He does have a good touch and is strong on the ball at times. The boy certainly has potential but he hasn't done anything really out of the ordinary than show a bit of promise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cos88 283 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 IMO, the reason he's only signed a two year deal is so it'll be easier to sell him.Clubs might be put off if he's got four years left on a deal due to the extra cost.So you think we're going to try to sell him for as little money as possible?

nvager 498 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 That's why God made Harold Davis, minstral. Yes, him and Shearer took care of THAT side of the business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesyboy93 2 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 So you think we're going to try to sell him for as little money as possible?Can we not just enjoy seeing the boy playing for us at the moment instead of talking about how much we are going to sell him for , when it comes we can start talking about it.

krisboyuk 6 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 people only make the Jim Baxter comparison cos Football Manager says that....Looks a fantastic prospect but ffs he has played 6 or so games, dont get carried away giving him unrealistic comparisons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the late and great Jim Baxter throughout almost EVERY game in his career and having spent my life being a football player and a coach/manager, I can tell you the similarities between Jim Baxter and Jamie Ness is spooky.It has nothing to do with passing a ball (although young Jamie is getting good at it) and it certainly has nothing to do with the way Baxter strutted around the field as if he was the only one on the park...and I hope to fuck that Jamie Ness never gets as cocky as Baxter was.If you REALLY can't see the similarities between Ness and Baxter (That's as long as you actually witnessed Baxter on a park and not an old newsreel tape) and you really want to know, send me a pm and I'll gladly detail them for you.PS...Don't forget to tell me what the fuck this "football Manager" is.

Amac9 2,060 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I don't see how anyone can say Jamie Ness has done nothing special since he came into the side.He is our only midfielder right now who looks comfortable on the ball, can make a tackle, keep possession and not be afraid to ping a ball 60 yards across the park.The wee man has been a revelation.

Don't give me it broadfoots one of the greatest to grace such a stadium.....Maybe in a st mirren shirt Thought ness wasn't to good the other night but I'm not going to be jumping on his back as he was still our best player in that midfield, the rest of them really need to get a grip or every game we see we will be dominated in their.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Cheers lads. Brilliant turn, vision and then the pass.As I've said in another thread, we need to tie him down to a long-term contract and then stick a £10m pricetag on him. We can't afford to lose him in the summer because Premiership clubs will be interested. We can't let him go on the cheap either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I saw Baxter in the flesh @ Ibrox many times. There is more than just a passing similarity. Ness is the closest I've ever seen to Slim Jim. Just the way he 'looks' when he's running with the ball. I swear I'm watching Jim again.Unbelievable.Not to put any pressure on the lad mind.

JamieD 19,013 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ness really is refreshing to watch. He has an elegance on the ball that we haven't had for god knows how long. I'm too young to have seen him play but I've watched enough videos to see what the old guard are saying about similarities with Baxter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minstral 5,375 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If he turns out to be half as good as Baxter that will do me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocky Broon 207 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Undoubtedly Ness is a huge prospect but the comparisons with Baxter are not justified.There will only ever be ONE Jim Baxter.I was only a young schoolboy but I saw Baxter play for Raith Rovers against Dundee Utd. I think he was only 18 but he was an absolute standout that day. I then saw him many times play for us and what he did with a ball at his feet was the stuff of dreams.They say he couldnt tackle but I once saw him nail Jimmy Greaves in a 50/50 at Hampden.Jamie Ness has really impressed me but as Minstral says if he turns out half as good as the man then that will do me.
