OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 To put it politely, they don't like him.Hasn't figured since West Ham debacle.I think he'll be back with us in May. How long has his contract got? Surely a free transfer beckons.Shame, looked so promising once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 He won't be given a free transfer. Fleck and Hutton could well be our CM pairing next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle 3,734 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 It is a real shame given that he seemed to have the assets to be a strong, powerful, direct forward, but I am not sure if the ability wasn't what we thought, the desire wasn't there, the workrate wasn't there, or if he just lacks the self-belief. I honestly believe that in only a few weeks we have seen more potential to do serious damage from Salim Kerkar, than in years of hoping with Fleck. Other younger players like Little, Hutton, Ness and even Kane Hemmings seem more likely to be part of our future than John Fleck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 He is over-rated, he looked good for a couple of games, then was called the next rooney etc which was rediculous. I think some fans actually believed that guff, anyway, he has been pretty much shite since. so i don't really see him as one for the future anymore. i think he'll leave us and end up having a shit career down south.

Gazzanova 328 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Shame, always wanted John to do well. The pressure of being the 'next rooney' seems to have gotten to him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 72,082 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 He would be needed for us atm, It's frustrating that we loaned him just before we lost Laff and Jelavic. This would have been his best chance of game time with the lack of options in the forward areas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 72,082 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 We still had Jelavic though, you need a run of games if your going to have a chance to show what you can bring. A game here and there was never going to be enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Did you get this from a forum or something mate? If so can you link us?Hi. I work near the ground and work / drink with loads of Pool fans. Was on a leaving do last night and so got talking to plenty of Pool fans just back from Peterborough.So, apologies, but's its anecdotal; albeit from a relatively sizeable sample.

ylfb 21 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Flecks problem is hes an arrogant we shyte who management dont like especially mcoist dont forgey they have all ready had there run ins cpl seasons ago due to fleck thinking hes to big for his boots Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig 14 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hes not a machine, hes a wee boy from Glasgow, barely out of puberty, thrown away to another country in a strange town and strange team and asked to go in and make an immediate impact. It was never going to happen. This is his home and under the right coaches he will be a useful Rangers player. I sincerely hopes he gets his chance here. It will be one hell of a wasted talent if we force him out like we have other footballers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much expectation piled on top of lack of playing time is Flecks problem.To say he will not be good enough is crazy imo given his young age.

In fact, I know he is popular at Rangers. Arrogant: do you even know him to say that? Unlike you and I, he has had to do his growing up not in the public glare; so if he has found that hard to navigate at times then that is no real problem in his character.

pcbear 10,924 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I honestly think that he is not a good footballer, not once in any of the games has he done something that marks him out as a potentially great player, Aluko has shown is his short spell at Ibrox that he has "it" Fleck imo has not, its not his fault he was megahyped as a kid though.

He obviously showed pieces of magic or skill which the ordinary footballer didnt. The comparison with Aluko is unfair i think. Few years difference in age and maturity and Aluko has also got over 100 first team games under his belt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
