KeyserSoze 15,299 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 @Nieto11878 Can't seem to make a comment on that thread ? So started this one Novo was 25yrs old in 2004 when he joined Rangers - he left when he was 30 so what do you mean "prime" ? Two players who are polls apart not in the same poll ffs Pedantic loyal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 There is no discussion, Novo in his prime couldn't even lace Millers boots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,519 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Liked both players but Miller was at a far better player than Novo ,both however always gave 100% every game and Miller is still doing so Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 A football thread...?? In the Bearsies Den?! OoOoooh!! Well done for starting such a thing, KeyserSoze Esq. May I humbly suggest a poll...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam English Loyal 945 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I never appreciated Novo when he was here. Thought he was a weak link. Actually think better of the wee guy now. Better than Miller though? Naw, Kenny is ending his career at Ibrox, Nacho at the Oval. Therein lies the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Miller played in a front three with Mols and de Boer in the Champions League when he was but a nipper and he scored* and mixed with some big names. I couldn't have seen Novo getting much game time in European competition under Advocaat. Endeavour alone was never good enough for the Wee General; you had to have a side-salad of savvy along with your energy. Nacho and big Dado were a great partnership though. Certainly more dynamic and exciting than Miller and Boyd. So, take from that what you will... *Funnily enough Miller and Prso were on the same park together in the game against Monaco where Miller scored. A Desmond, as DJ was no doubt heard to say on the night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 21,712 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Always loved wee Nacho, always such a threat to the opposition goal but Miller was far and away the better player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 God knows what the question is but I don't think there's any definitive answer for when someone's prime is. It depends on the player. Davie Weir - his prime was late 30's with us when Walter signed him when he came back. Watched him play for Falkirk, Hearts, Everton and Scotland before coming to us and in all honesty thought he was utter shite but he won me over. Miller is another who IMO played his best football in his second spell with us when he was over 30. Guys have their prime early .. I remember the likes of Jeffers and Cadmateri at Everton at about 18 in the late 90's and mid 90's and they looked absolutely outstanding then fell away to shite. Just depends on the player, really.

kaiser1041 9,107 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Wee cunt was always offside and I used to moan constantly about him. that was however until a big game came up and he shut me the fuck up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,624 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Novo even when he had chances to establish himself couldn't he was always better as an impact player. Great with the support though and really seems to love Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr3_bear 15,591 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Miller was a better player still annoys me to this day that novo never started in Manchester though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,312 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I think Miller is/was a better all-round player than Novo but not sure if he was a more important player for us. From memory, Novo scored quite a lot of vital goals in Europe and against them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalfollower 1,543 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I think if we had signed Miller when the rumours surfaced in xmas 07 that we could've actually won the UEFA cup that summer! In any case the only prime is optimus Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never forget mate, helicopter Sunday, 22 May 2005 Novo's goal won us the title. I travelled 10,000kms to get there and on the Monday travelled 10,000kms back.
