Bluetiful 64 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Following on from the best debut thread, and in transfer d day, which bears spring to mind who you've been almost glad to see leave or go on loan, and then become pretty decent or certainly a lot better than their time at Ibrox.Or I guess which players as well have you seen go and then get worse?

Although some people on this forum are a little too bitter to admit it.I rated Adam and never wanted him sold, but you can still see flaws in his game done well since he's left us though and good luck to him.

Papa Sasac 164 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Probably Arteta. Would get into most squads in the Premiership.As for gotten worse, I'd say Boumsong. Fantastic for us, awful for Newcastle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones 3,009 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Charlie Adam. What a player he turned out to be. Although some people on this forum are a little too bitter to admit it.He showed that he had the attributes to be a player while he was at Ibrox. Although he must take a share of the blame for his fitness, he was badly handled by Smith and his 'square peg, round hole' selection policy.

Although he must take a share of the blame for his fitness, he was badly handled by Smith and his 'square peg, round hole' selection policy.He showed all the attributes when he was loaned to Blackpool. People were raving about his halfway line goals and set pieces. Walter and Ally weren't interested though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter and Ally weren't interested though.You could also say they were vindicated in their assessment as we just kept on bringing home the trophies.The problem for Adam was was highlighted for me at games, Mendes would play a shite pass with the outside of his foot going to the opposition or out of play and everyone would shout nice try Pedro.Adam would do the same and everyone would be calling for his head.

My thoughts on the likes of Hutton, Little and Fleck are that they will likely end up in the same boat as Adam, whether they impress or not.Little especially, what a debut he made for us starting at right-back in an Old firm game and nearly conceding a goal. Then we found out he was a striker all along? Wouldn't surprise me if his confidence is still suffering to this day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better players try a pass "oooh unlucky"... Poorer players try same thing "oh fuck off you cunt, why are you playing for us?"Been happening for years and will continue to happen for years.Then we have the players who don't do very much positive but because they've endeared themselves to the fans via one way or another, the avoid huge criticism from the stands. (Diouf a prime example, the only player I know in recent history who could be shite for 70-80 mins, but kiss his badge on the way off to an ovation).

King Jela 20,544 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Still don't rate Adam, people seem to prefer to miss his overall performance in a game as long as he produces at least one long range pass. Can take a cracking corner mind you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
