Muff 245 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Davis played like a footballer today - pity he has been shite in that position in the previous weeks/monthsNo he hasn't, but each to their own.He has not been at his best, but he has not been shite.Cup Final, PSV (home), Killie, St. Johnstone, Sporting CP... in recent weeks, he played well.

If we had Hemdani to protect him then maybe, but he grabs the ball, twirls, plays a short ball which is immediately played back to him because he played his mate into trouble and he then has to play backwards or play a hopefull forward ball.Today was a display worthy of Davis but he is not consistant enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sticking up for Davis, because he has not been anywhere near as consistent as he should and has been, but he is still one of our best players.The defence and midfield is shite, that is not Davis fault. So we sell Steven Davis, who replaces him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we sell Steven Davis, who replaces him?Jamie Ness?Steven Davis is up for a freebie soon, and we cannot afford to entice him into a better contract - not that I would want him to sign it under Smith.I do see what you are saying and I think McCoist could create a better creative side around him but we need to keep the squad.Since when, by the way, did Walter Smith build a 11 man side around one playmaker that cost less than £5M?

TheBoyDave 123 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Would Diouf be any worse than Edu on current form at center mid? just saying.I think Diouf can link play, close down, tackle a bit, control the ball and keep possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An easy season for the new manager and a new era for Rangers FC?If we can compete with 7 or 8 experienced players on a Rangers budget, with the rest of the players coming from loanees and youth players, we could build for the future.If Whyte buys us, should Coisty spend the first years £5M or should our fan base declare acceptance on possible failure?

Plamf 39 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Davis and Bougherra are both going to end up leaving on bosmans or for tiny fees near the end of their contracts.What a shambles.If Rangers could do just one thing, I'd like it to be the ability to learn from mistakes.
