Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 McKay is a decent player but far too inconsistent. Also has been shown to be quite lightweight in big games. If a good bid came in thennid be tempted to cash in n replace him with Walker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearInTheWood 220 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Barrie is frustrating. We all know he has a lot of talent and has shown us some incredible flashes and some excellent football but I'm annoyed at him for his massive inconsistency. Would love for him to wake the fuck up and realise what he's got here before he ends up at a boring and pointless club going nowhere when he could be a great for us. Needs to be much more physical and aggressive and be consistently reliable then he has a future here. If it's the same old Barrie then I agree with Pedro if he's dumped him with the kids. Hopefully a massive kick up the backside for the guy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 3,863 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 He should be a top player if he was consistent, but he's now at an age where he has to start delivering. If he signs a new deal, i'd be setting him a target of 10 league goals this season. Try and force him into taking more responsibility. He has one of the best shots in our team, but far too often he plays a simple ball rather than taking a risk when the shot is on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan 23 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 He has a great touch and can show class in flashes, but overall I don't think he's that good. Too easy to knock off the ball and not quick enough, the amount of times he's tried to hit the ball beyond an opponent and unable to out run them..

6superbarry6 14,148 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'd like to keep McKay as I still think he can improve with better players around him,I'd reluctantly take 2.5 million for him but we need a sell on percentage in any fee aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

archangel gabriel amato 240 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 This is not the first time with Barrie, if the rumors are true his attitude problems were the reason he was put out on loan to Morton and it looks like it's his attitude which is causing issues again, I just wish the boy would screw the nut before he ruins his career as on his day he is a class player.

Because people have an axe to grind I suppose, they have it for all last seasons players - and I can understand it. People want to think that Forrester is a fat mess who doesn't care, people want to believe Barrie McKay is a pussy who has no mental strength, people want to think Halliday has a poor attitude. It would fit right in with peoples thinking if McKay asked for astronomical wages - it would mean cutting ties is so much easier - it would mean he's a cunt and we're happy to let him go. Not saying this is exactly what every person is thinking - these are examples. It all fits in with what we want - to hate our players due to the shite they served up last season. I guess the papers know all this and ride on the crest of these waves, however I'm more and more moving towards not believing anything said in the papers and just waiting till it's official. I'd rather support a player on a slim chance that something printed is not true rather than believing a paper which is highly likely to be true. Simply because we don't lose if we side with the player - we show great support - and if he turns out to be a cunt well, at least we tried. Siding with the papers - why?

DrLaudrup 4,563 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think Barrie is a reasonable player but fully support the manager here, if this is true of course. The days of players thinking they are all that and acting bigger than the club should be long gone. In spite of his potential his performances have fallen well short of the consistency expected of a first team regular in my opinion. The issue with rejecting a contract extension hardly shows commitment to us on the part of the player. In spite of all the Leipzig 6M pish I don't see a queue of top clubs lining up to take the player. I would suggest he either recognises the opportunity he has to play in a better Rangers side this season, gets his head down and works on improving his consistency and end product, or we accept his attitude is pathetic and get him moved on to obscurity.

Falcoholic 1,348 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Barrie thinks he's actually bigger and better than he his. He always has done. Plays half decent in 1 out of every 5 games then it's back to the usual dross from him week in week out. His attitude is clearly honking, and no doubt believes he's going to get a big money deal for another club, but I love the way Pedro doesn't fuck about and bumps him straight into the 20s. I really think there is a player in Barrie but unless he sorts his own head out he'll only ever be a might have been. I think he will move on but I doubt it'll be the big club he thinks he will get. Forest will be his limit I reckon but he will see it as a move nearer the English Prem and hoping he gets scouted. I wish him well and will never forget that screamer in the cup semi. Ever.

Barrie McKay has a questionable attitude at best and is stalling on signing a new deal so clearly isn't 100% committed to the cause at this moment in time. If attitude changes or the contract is signed then brilliant, bring him back but until then I would probably agree with the manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 He should absolutely be staying, genuinely can't grasp any argument against. He's the most naturally gifted player in the squad by miles until any of the new signings prove otherwise. If he remains as inconsistent as last season in a decent-good team over the next couple of years, then yes, it's time to go. But to punt a homegrown player of his ability and potential off the back of last season would be too trigger-happy for me. Then again, if he's refusing a new deal and wants out then i suppose that's a different story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltire266 502 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Sick of his pish, plays 5 good games a season then the rest honking. Take the money and pay the 2.5 for Weiss now that we have oodles of cash Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,495 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I like Barrie McKay. He's the most exciting player to watch in the squad when on a game. Unfortunately last season that was perhaps only about 5 or 6 times in 40 odd matches. I'd like to see how he goes this season in a team that has the muscle and skill to dominate and impose themselves on all teams in the league. Hopefully we have signed the players to give us that platform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,779 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If he goes we must be more aware of his possible advancement away from Rangers and get a big percentage of a sell on fee in his contract. That way if it was a mistake to sell him we can plug the wound with cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
