JR 1,480 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I think if we can get a Davie Weir kind of 3 or 4 years it could be ok. We'll see...Just can't see it from him as Defence Mid, but you never know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG5 11,112 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 To be fair, that's very similar to what's happening now.Given who is at the club just now, I think an incoming captain is inevitable and completely understandable.Yup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jafrfc 614 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Nail on the head. By all means he could come up, play maybe 75% of the games, use his experience to help the youngsters, come on as a sub to sure up games etc.But for a relative unknown at 35 to walk straight into the rangers captaincy? Don't think soThere's not one player at the club that deserves it right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie1690 5 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Might work as a temporary fix but not really the direction I was expecting from the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik2402 1,319 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Just been told it's Danny Wilson, 100%. Fuck knows what to believe, but if it is wilson why build it up as something it's not.Good contacts mate ? Smile and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,926 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 What's he like is he a good passer or just someone who breaks up the play and goes for the simple pass?He's a sitting midfielder, I'd imagine he'd break up play and play simply. He's not a creative spark anyway. But his sitting role may be crucial in some kind of well balanced passing system which Warbuton wishes to adopt anyway.

Marky. 6,926 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Although he was before my time, didn't Terry Butcher do just that?Couldn't tell you, a little before my time too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,926 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Still, Butcher is a little different. He was a massive coup and frankly one of the best defenders in the world at the time. He was captain of England and he was massively respected in the football world.Sometimes players like this will come along and deserve to be captain instantly,Not John Eustace.

Smile 26,600 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 This is from a derby forum hated him at first it seems but by the end he had got more popular. mixed bag really.http://dcfcfans.uk/topic/11925-john-eustace/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markem 7,251 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 So many people unhappy about him immediately being our Captain because the Daily fucking Record says it's so. - Incredible.IF it is true then the Manager clearly fancies this player to be one of the experienced players he has referenced he wants in his squad. He has been very clear on his preferred age and style of play so let's trust the guy to get on with the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Most likely.Just hope he stays fit ~ he'll be fuck all use leading from the treatment table.More the worry really. With the knees, as you say, he ain't leading anything if he goes down again for a lengthy period.Might not even happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's the man to be captain instantly then the uncomfortable feeling amongst supporters will be justified.If not, great, but he's not officially been made captain, hell he's not even signed.

He was captain of England and he was massively respected in the football world.Sometimes players like this will come along and deserve to be captain instantly,Not John Eustace.I think captaincy is far more about personality than reputation. I don't think there's any reason that Eustace can't do a Butcher if he's got the personality for it.I agree that ideally people should earn their stripes, but that aint happenin this time, and we aint going to get someone with a Butcher pedigree. So if this guy has the characteristics of a captain, then seems fine to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you can conclude as you do if you have read this whole thread.....Varying perceptions I guess however 'chill out' is my point. The record has previous for being FOS, and if it is true lets trust the manager, we are rebuilding a squad and this guy could be a great addition.

ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I doubt we'll sign this guy, but people need to get it into their heads now that Warburton will sign a couple of older players along with the younger players he will bring in. I think he'll bring in two more experienced players and the rest younger type players with a sell on potential. markem 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your correct, however if it were to happen I suppose I'll be disappointed in the sense that he goes against the very ethos I believe this club should believe in, and that of what I thought kings and warburtons vision for the club...that being young, hungry players who can improve and the club can benefit financially. I might be wrong but we don't need someone at 35 for experience- why can't someone at 25/26 provide that experience? Whilst I appreciate he would give us something in the championship, where is the foresight? Warbs/king talked about bringing in players for spl and to benefit rangers for years, eustace is not that hence why if would be disappointing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
