Marky. 7,114 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Don't really know how many threads people make about Fraser Aird, but I wanted to just make this one anyway.I think Fraser could become a very good Rangers player in the future. He's got potential, for sure, and talent as well, but one of the things I like about him is how genuine he is. Seems to love his football, and seems really proud to be playing football for Rangers.His attitude to putting on the Rangers jersey makes him come across as a good guy, and he certainly shows the class that a Ranger should.I hope he does get a good run in the side this year, because I think he could go a long way, and its a player with his attitude I love to see doing well for our club.How highly do we rate him on here then? And how do you feel about his attitude towards putting on a Rangers shirt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I rate him and think he would do well with a sustained run in the team his pace and trickery are good and he's very direct and loves to cut inside and get his shots away. I fear he may be a victim of the massive squad size and not get many games or be loaned out but I hope he gets his chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,209 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I rate him and McKay very highly as future wingers. Both are far better than Wylde and have shown very able technical ability Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 7,114 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Another point, in that FM update I posted in the gaming forum, he is class. Signed him for Wigan and gave him a start for a laugh, scored a nice wee solo goal, never looked back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Reckon we'll see a massive difference in him this season. Looks like he's put on a fair bit of muscle since last season. Hoping he looks to take on players more often as he's got the skill/pace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 i thought he was 1 of the only players in our squad who looked to have improved as the season went on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Aird won't be going out on loan and he will have game time also think he will suit this 4-1-3-2 formation which Coisty seems to prefer and there is something wrong with my computer lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI like the switch from 1 forward to 2. 2 forwards in this division will be ideal because we can play a quicker, more entertaining style. We do have many central midfielders, but imagine a midfield ofMcLeodMcKay Templeton AirdWont happen, but imagine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 15,093 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I rate Aird highly. He has pace, trickery and is pretty good in the air. He didn't score a lot of goals last season, but the ones he did were important ones. Given time, I'm confident he will repay our faith in him.

Goianegra 4,710 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I don't think he's got a tonne of potential, but think a lot of other attribute will make u for it and he could be a rotation player for many years. Novo-like Rangers career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo 708 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He has potential and gives 100% every game.Hopefully he can continue to improve, he has the attributes to be a good winger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsons Army 4,146 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is he good in the air?I always thought his eye for goal could make him a decent man to play off the front man!I don't know about being "good in the air" but his favoured position is just being the striker. but I can see why he is played wide.I like wide players to get past players and put balls in early, most strikers prefer this too, defenders don't Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attitude towards playing or Rangers makes a huge difference to me as a supporter. He's one of these genuine youngsters who is absolutely delighted just to be able to walk on and off the Rangers bus!Would very much like to see him up front though, but unfortunately I don't think it will happen.

alukotheblackmessi 22 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Don't rate him, scored a few goals last season but he never exciting me like a winger should, and very rarely got the better of the full backs.....would like him to prove me wrong but just can't see him playing on a regular basis!

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hard to dislike a young player who works his balls off and clearly loves the club.It's difficult to say what level he can reach but if he keeps working hard, I think he's got a good chance of being a good Rangers player. At the very worst, in a league as limited as Scotland's are, his pace alone mean he can be a useful player.Really like the lad and hope he remains involved this season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What's his natural position? I like wee Aird. He's done better than McKay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Fraser is a youngster who has great potential, to me he should play out wide, the one criticism I do have and put this down to his age is that he doesn't attack enough this can be a confidence issue which is getting worked on by the club they want him when he has the ball to run at defences all the time because they can see he does have the ability to take players on and they know like we all do defenders hate that sort of player, the fact he has beefed out a bit now might help in that area as it will be more difficult to take him down and injure him.

nvager 498 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Fraser and Barry McKay both have a ton of potential. Aird seems stronger than McKay, but McKay I think is the more skillful.They both lack consistency, but that is only natural given their ages. Both need to cut out mistakes in their games, but that will come with time and experience.They need to keep possession and not give the ball away so easily at times.I think we will see a big improvement in both this year, but maybe more so in Aird who appears stronger. McKay needs to fill out and gain upper body strength.They both will do well but need some time is my thinking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
