SPWF 8,117 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 We’d be mental to get rid of him after spending the best part of two years rehabbing him. He’s a very talented player, could be fantastic for us. Let’s give him a pre-season and see if he can stay fit. If not then it’s probaby time to offer him a mutual termination.

Its hard to be optimistic when our playing squad is mediocre (giving them a compliment), the board largely inept and a DoF who has made one decent signing out of many. I will be optimistic when some decent talented and more importantly mentally fit players sign. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new deal is silly talk. Let’s see if we can get a half a season from him and if so then offer him a deal. people suggesting he gets a deal on the back of an hour against hibs need a shake Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be here for the next season. Gerrard is putting emphasis on the players attitude from his interviews and Rossiter has that in spades. He’s also got technical ability and showed the other midfielders how to make a run beyond the defence and finish with ease. He wants to play, even after all these setbacks he wants to play and still has a smile on his face. He got stuck in on Sunday, he got assaulted by that wee prick Allan and still didn’t hide. The key thing is keeping him fit. It seems the general consensus is he’s hopefully over his long term injury and now just into the standard footballing injury territory. He’s got 2 years left so I’d imagine this season us make or break. To Be A Ranger, Ozblue, Malvern and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the point of his talent and if he can overcome his injuries. But it’s a big if Andy I personally would not gamble. You have got that totally correct, Hutton and if Rossiter can't get 100% fit then he's not worth keeping, but I'm sure Gerrard and his medical team will be on the ball. I still remember we signed Daniel Prodan for £2.2 million and in 3 seasons never kicked a ball for us, and also Andy Webster who ended up costing us an absolute fortune yet ha played 2 fucking games for us in four years, then he became a free agent and miraculously became fit and played over 200 games when he left Ibrox.

He's contracted to May 2020, so if he proves his fitness next season then perhaps look at his contract and not before. Hutton2008 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kid's had a horror few years, so he deserves some luck. He certainly deserves some luck on the injury front. He has an enthusiasm for the game that's infectious......he seems to be permenantly buzzin. Plays the game with a smile on his face and with a totally commited attitude. Really hope his troubles are behind him now. Regarding Gerrard if memory serves he was out injured regularly when he was about Rossiter's age and he managed to overcome it and have an incredible footballing career. Not comparing him with Gerrard at all in terms of footballing ability, just pointing out that he's not the first young player to pick up lots of injuries early in his career.

If he can put his injuries behind him he can go right to the top. Not doubting that in the slightest. He deserves time to prove himself.

He does deserve to have a run in the team as we have only seen him in what, about 9 or 10 games? It would be unfair to say he's pish when he hasn't played 3 games in a row........yet It would be mental to pay his wages for 2 years then punt him as soon as he seems to be getting fitter. Are people actually suggestimg we extend his contract? FFS. No need to extend it anyway as he has 2 years left I think. If he stays healthy and in the team next season then we could offer him new terms at some point. He may or may not turn out to be an outstanding player for us but he at least deserves the chance to show us what he can do when fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 On reflection and overall he played better than I expected him to for someone being out for so long but only after we settled down at 3-0 and got our act together, But he was still part of a midfield that was severly over-run and looked lost for almost half an hour. 5-5 and this great advert for Scottish football line conceals some major problems in that team especially in midfield and at the back. We need an upgrade on them all - Holt, Goss, Docherty, Rossiter. Sunday changes nothing for me. Felt bad for Rossiter though after criticising him so much, he comes in and (along with the whole team) has a shocking 25-minutes or so, get's it stinking (and rightly so) but shows character after that, doing alright and then fucking assaulted and has to go off - which is the normal now for us in Scotland - players can assault our players with ease, literally injure them and they usually get a booking at best. I think McCrorie was a massive miss on Sunday. Him in there was don't concede 5-goals. Was happy with McCallister's comments from Dubai in the aftermath - they have both watched that game and have serious food for thought and know now what needs done (if they never before) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I see a player there and he needs to be given a run of games to finally judge Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
