Supersonic 4,658 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Article from a week ago saying he'll be coming back soon to be assessed by Pedro: http://www.belfastlive.co.uk/sport/rangers-young-gun-jordan-thompson-12844685 "I'll be going back (to Rangers) on a Wednesday for the last few weeks of the season just to be training with them and so the manager gets to see me before we break up for the end of the season. I'll go back and start pre-season and hopefully get into the manager's good books and push on." Anybody know how his loan spell has been going?

K.A.I 36,183 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Always found him a neat and tidy player. One of the better ones in the unders (although that's not saying too much) but always had doubts about his ability to step it upto the first team. Players like him where their ability isn't in question, I'd like to see more of them even if it's first team games where we're a couple of goals up or something.

Smile 26,622 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hopefully pushes on at us rather than loaned out to Raith rovers again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis1986 996 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Is that the boy that was loaned to Airdrie ? If yes I thought he looked decent Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Jordan has a better chance now than under previous managers ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Well he has a clean slate, go out and impress Pedro. Spaces up for grabs with Hyndman & Toral leaving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,600 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 No idea if he's good enough, but you'd think this needs to be his breakthrough year if it's going to happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Was discussing him the other day on another thread. He has played 29 games for Raith this season and has been getting good reviews so hopefully the experience has been worthwhile. From the little i have seen of him i have been impressed, a little bit lightweight but gets about and is decent on the ball and passing, would be a better option already than Halliday or Miller dropping back in there.

The year out on loan playing in the championship will have done him no harm. He will have his chance to show what he can do, from what i have seen of him he is quite an energetic lad and that suits the high pressing style Pedro wants to implement. I mind his interview when he signed, he was absolutely delighted and couldn't hide it, stark contrast to the other player who a lot of discussion surrounds at the moment.

KingKirk 25,779 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 tidy player hopefully the loan this season has benefited him isn't hardie at Raith with him another I hope shows up well Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thought I saw him play on TV against Hearts in the cup . Caused a goal by giving the ball away in midfield. Generally was pretty tidy in distribution of the ball but nothing spectacular. He also could do with strengthening up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeSS 512 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Saw him against Ayr a few weeks ago nowhere near good enough sadly he will be released soon I fear Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not the best time to bring him on imo, the lad is comfortable enough on the ball and this season looked as if his upper body strength is betyer. Not a great way to judge him if we are strolling it by 3 or 4 goals.......in at the deep end and we will know what he is really made of. Always looked a better player than Zelalem for him and he waz given plenty of game time at the club with zero competitive action under his belt, well very very little.

Dee 27 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 We need better players than him ffs, he might get a game next season if we have quite a lot of games just to give someone a break Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,476 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Personally, I don't think he's any worse than Toral and, given we actually own him, I'd much prefer him to be playing right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
