He's playing a game of football ffs 4.nobody looked good? A couple of Bournemouth players actually looked decent the last thing we need is another young player,with limited experience,he's hardly going to come in and dominate the midfield against the tims is he? They have lego heid, Armstrong, Rogic in there plus wide players in Forrest or Roberts. Big expectation for a player to come in and dominate against that. Unrealistic really. Maybe 3 or 4 good new signings could, but they wouldn't come cheaply. And that's assuming they settled quickly. No obvious, easy answer. But not doing anything isn't the answer. And if the money isn't there maybe this is the best we can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Only worry is he's another Zelalem, where the talent is obvious but struggles with the thugs in Scotland and can't make a big impact on games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
insider 123 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I hope he is fantastic for us but I seriously doubt it.. Even if he is fantastic, a five month loan to a club of our size is laughable.. Wtf are we playing at.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crooks played in his first match on 20th September, if he isn't fit by now he'll never be. Even if he was unfit why would anyone want to loan an unfit player? Loaning in a guy for 5 months to make him better for someone else is pointless, Warburton should promote from within or just play the players he's already got.

It gives us a good player that we could perhaps get back on loan next season or sign or until the summer so we can sign someone else that isn't available right now. He is far better than any youth player we have and far better than Crooks at the moment. We can't complain that the players aren't good enough and when we go down whatever avenue we can to get better players complain that they aren't using the current ones.

I've no issue with quality loan signings, short term, provided we are laying down something behind the scenes for next season (which I have my doubts on - but in that case, I'd rather have this than neither) The issue plugging is the gap isnt so much us but no one is beating them..

How are our players supposed to get any better when they aren't getting a game? Where is the resale value in loaning in guys when we could be blooding young players of our own? We always say they aren't good enough and loan in other guys that aren't good enough like Billy King, Ball or Oduwa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve to be top ... hate the cunts but to be into the 2017 part of the season and they're undefeated and only dropped 2 points in the league is fantastic. Even if Advocaat was our manager with the superstars or Walter in his prime seasons we still wouldn't be top. That's not the issue, the issue is the size of the gap which is about 22/23 points (once they win their game in hand, need to check the table to confirm) and the fact that if Aberdeen win their game in hand we aren't even second. That's embarrassing and unforgivable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 By that vid he's a Warburton type of player but can he manage the knuckle draggers in the Scots Prem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think Warburton indicated a few times in the last month or so that it was likely that anyone coming in would be on loan deals. For us right now and maybe for a fair few seasons to come this might be the only way financially for Warburton to be able to freshen a team up / improve it albeit in very short term measures. The very low objective for this season seems to be to win a European slot for next season and to finish a strong second. There is a very long way to go to secure these objectives so I ,guess that if he can't buy quality players to help do this the only route left is for affordable loan deals to tempt emerging quality to come to Ibrox for game time and experience. If it works it gets the objective met and keeps Warburton's job secure for another go next season. It's hand to mouth stuff living on the edge of what passes for success this season. In large measure it comes down to money.......or more accurately lack of sufficient investment money. Money which many thought and were led to believe would be coming from King but hasn't materialised in the numbers he was talking about when campaigning for control of the Club. More promise than actual delivery it seems. It's the Support who have to continue to endure the dearth of investment and to hope that somehow Warburton's signings and loan players to the job this season and we'll see what King's objectives for next season are to be and whether there is sufficient financing for it Meanwhile if Hyndman joins on loan I hope he has a very successful tine at Rangers.
