Well fair play, he has offloaded everybody he wanted to, which is no mean feat. He must be a right wee bastard Ever get the feeling with Pedro that he is trying to say the right things; nice, repectful, using phrases to keep the support on board in front of the camara, but behind closed doors he is a demanding and ruthless. I get that feeling about him and it makes me happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope the guy isn't trying to put too much info into the players in one go. There's parts in games where you think "what an improvement " and others which look like the game is getting away from us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too fond of the sunbeds and trying to look like a fucking popstar when he should have been knuckling down and training hard tells it all really A talented waster you do know he is of mixed-race don't you? probably never been near a sunbed in his life ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZed 4,510 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 i just get that feeling he is trying to buy a bit of good will from the support (we are the people) by trying to say the right things in public; as he is sheding the unrequered and trying to bring in better quailty in a rush. I think he knows the standards expected and is trying to get something in place to build on but he also knows we are unrealistic at times and demand sucess now with no excuses. He also knows moving that many people out and replacing them with better players takes time as it causes disruption. He appears to me to be focused on one thing above all others; the right attitude in players. As Harry Forrester proves you can have skill but the attitude is all important. I have been satisfied with how Pedro has moved players on and who he has brought in. He /We need them to bed down, settle in and produce on the field of play. I think we will see others coming in but Pedro like to play things close to his chest, I like that also. I think things are shaping up but we have not seen anything like the finnished product yet, i am hopeful and think Perdo may have a bit of the Jock Wallace about him.

McEwan's Lager 30,570 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 He will do well in that team imo. They suit his style of play and he will get a lot of balls played 3 yards in front of him to run on to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoGeo7 10,544 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Remember him doing the flip flap against Annan last season. Think he has raw talent/technique but not cut out for football as a job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alves, Jack, Dorrans, Cardoso, Candeias, Morelos, Pena, Herrera and Dalcio have come in. 9 new players is a lot to expect to start off as a well-oiled unit. Having said that, they are professional footballers and it really shouldn't take too long to get to know each other's styles especially with full-time training.

Alves70 393 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just goes to show how awful MWs signings were that we had to get rid of 12 of them since the end of last season. The majority of them had only been at the club for 18 months or less as well. Good luck Nottingham Forest you'll need it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 good riddance if true the type of player we should be avoiding - successful rangers sides have always been hardworking in the extreme and ruthless - forrester is not this also - it's nice to see fans chatting about something other than bad decisions and statements is that really what we've become now, blaming everything on refereeing decisions? always cheated - never defeated? sound familiar? i've been baffled by it all - that's why i've not commented until now. we need the right players, the right attitude and the right management to be a success - not the right refereeing decisions to go our way - that is a loser mentality. we should be aiming to win regardless of a ton of decisions going against us - it's that simple the long list of players now gone from our club being replaced with the correct type of player, with the same uncompromising mentality will help us no end - i just hope these players have what it takes and that pedro knows what he is doing. bye bye forrester, completely uninspiring in a blue jersey Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
