harlands plater 17,169 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 So, will it be Senderos and A.N. Other as our preferred partnership ? Senderos and Kiernan, who seems to be the manager's blue-eyed boy, or Senderos and Wilson? Is the signing of Senderos an admission that signing Hill was a mistake, how many experienced central defenders do we need? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wilson is slower, and lacks fight to win the ball, can`t defend a set piece nor win a header, no thanks, Senderos and Kiernan/Hill, not out of option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without any doubt in my mind, we will be found out in this department for the weak decision making by management here. Simply not good enough but I do hope I'm made to eat those words. ??Great and honest post .You will be right as I think we will take a hiding next week and I don't normally say this .

If he gets his positional sense right then we have a cracking defender right there. Very harshly criticised He does do it rather slowly after all.

bluenose48 979 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Welcome to Rangers and Scotland big man, hopefully you will prove all the doubters within our support wrong. Any player who has played in a top four EPL team and won trophies with them and been capped for his country which is ranked way above Scotland, will do the job in the SPFL. He cannot be any worse than our present centre half pairing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans keep banging on about plan b etc but show me teams that actually have a plan b? None than I can think of. Ok some get desperate and go long but that's about it. Our fans go on like the manager should have a master plan but again no one in football does.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Too late at night for the Rangers media team posting its transfer roundup report of who joined and who left. I see from the website that we have signed Philippee Senderos. Welcome to Rangers Philippee. Ah well. I suppose it was a busy night and a lot of names to check before releasing the summary.

Teams with 2 young centre backs will make mistakes but again he will be trying to coach them out of it rather than buy his way out of it. It might not work but then again it might. Let the guy build a team with the tools he's dealt and see where it takes us. This is what we wanted after all when mccoist was in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish .You just don't know a player mate .I said it before he signed I wanted beggars to sign him ...He came to us . He is a shocking defender and will never do for Rangers We also lost the cup final because both him and Kiernan can't attack the headers I will never forgive for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Wilson does come in for some way OTT criticism. Put a good centre-back next to him (like he had with Weir before) and he's a quality centre-half Hopefully Senderos is the man to bring the best out in Wilson again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
