Spectre 1,663 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 22 hours ago, LaudrupsPatrickBoots said: Aye I'm on meth because I'm questioning why a player that's been training with us for weeks looks well off the pace. Maybe he's still settling but IMO actually giving him more game time in these friendlies might actually help him instead of restricting him to a wee cameo. I didn't think he looked off the pace at all. The couple of times he got on the ball he looked fine and the rest of the time he was moving about and getting into decent positions, just no-one passed to him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowRangers1983 461 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Give the lad a chance before he is seriously judge. As the top priced transfer we will want a decent return but for now lets let him get on with learning to play with his new squad. I think he will be a good purchase and fingers crossed he's a bigger part of the Rangers puzzle for this season! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 19 international caps for Mexico. The most expensive summer signing the Manager has made. He's clearly rated highly by the Manager. But for some reason he's not been let loose to any meaningful extent in games so far to show what he can do. Is it that his fitness needs to be upped? Is it a language barrier? Or is he so good that live Alves he'll slot easily into the team and he become a bit of secret weapon - a box to box dynamic bull of a footballer or something like that - the Manager unleashes on an unsuspecting SPFL when the season gets going.

He is a big tall guy and I would guess after 5-6 games we will see him at his best. Glad we have a much more physical presence in the team now. Yep, he didn't break someone's leg and score s hat-trick in the first five minutes, overweight piece of shite that he is. some absolute fukking roasters on RM and getting worse M8. Unlike our journey through the divisions and the Warburton years this team is not going to be bullied by anyone, back to the Rangers way.

I agree, we already know how much we can expect from Jack, Dorrans and Kranjcar but we know nothing of Pena who we have spent a fair bit of Money on.
