Ger for life Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Has anyone else wondered who this guy is and why we signed him in such dire financial times for our club? I've seen him named on the subs bench several times so why has he never even made it onto the park for at least a few minutes?
NorthernLights Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 There's a topic every week about it, mate. Most think it was to keep Boogie happy.
ClintonGrey Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 To keep boogie happy and provide a bench warmer I guess, would have loved to see him play at least a couple of times to see how good he actually is though.
stefc1992 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 i saw him play down toryglen with boogie and some mates, he looked not bad but nothing special, just a benchwarmer
King Jela Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 From what I've read of him on here he seems to be getting rated higher and higher after every game he doesn't play in ...
AlbertzLoyalRSC Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 There's a topic every week about it, mate. Most think it was to keep Boogie happy.O.K.
Rab_Rangers Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Don't know why we signed him tbh, I'll be amazed if we see him at all this season.
StayWestFree Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 The cunt is the footballing Keyser Söze. Don't think he is even real.
minnbear Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 The cunt is the footballing Keyser Söze. Don't think he is even real.[/quots e]Spot on, I haven't got a clue what he looks like.With our budget being as tight, some of our signings have been truly baffling.
radlord Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 he was signed when we were still in 4 competitions presumably for when the crunch came and we got fatigue/mounting injuries.
Plamf Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Something often overlooked on here is he was a 23 year old released from the third division in French football. Very strange signing. Signed to keep Bougherra happy doesn't sound all that ridculous anymore.

Davie2909 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Tell you what i as watching him in the warm up of the Sellick game on sunday and he has got some skill about him and a good left foot.
DinViesel Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 He was Ricky Fosters room mate on Saturday night. Surely if he was here For Boogies sake they would be room mates.
Sgt. Pepper Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I swear to god did anyone see him whack on in the top corner with outside of his boot in the warm up against the Tims on Sunday? All the players congratulated him afterwards.Pure class!

Right_To_Censor Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 can't be any worse than fleck, a guy that doesn't have it and never will.
Nicika Jelavic Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 This is the guy to fire us to the title with the remaining games When he comes on though we should all give him a HUGE cheer poor guy looks like a good player.
blueben_d Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Totally agree mate from what i have seen of him in the warm ups he looks a cracking playerWhile I agree he looks ok in warm ups so do the boys that do ball juggling at half times at football grounds. Funnily enough they have never amounted to anything as footballers either.
SteveJ Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Tell you what i as watching him in the warm up of the Sellick game on sunday and he has got some skill about him and a good left foot.My son watches him quite a bit in warm ups, and he reckons the same. Can't say I have done so apart from when the bairn points out something that he has done, but he is deffo rating his warm ups highly.One thing I will put out there is, Walter Smith is not a stupid man and he will have asked Ally to think about the future. It might just be that Walter has allowed Ally to get this lad, on a free, on low wages, in order to nurture him for the 2011/2012 season. Time will tell but I reckon Kerkar will be a player for us next season, rather than a bench warmer.
Irwin Sparkes Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I read on FF that he'd been playing at left back and centre half in training

WeirFleckNRothen Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 At the end of the day, Salim Kerkar hasn't played a single minute of competitive football for us and, for a new signing and someone who we put up a fight to sign after the compensation dispute, I find it incredible.When we leathered Motherwell on Boxing Day, for example, Walter only made two changes and Kerkar was on the bench. We were cruising, as well, something like four-one up. You don't need to be a fully qualified UEFA A-License coach to realise the simple logic in giving him a run-out.I also refuse to accept the "but he looks good in training and when warming-up" patter. I don't even think that comment deserves a response, to be honest.Like someone said earlier in the thread, the suggestion that he was brought in to keep big Madjid happy, now, doesn't seem as mental as it did.
