Glenn Middleton

[K.A.I 36,183]

Thought Middleton was excellent yesterday - akways getting the ball down and attacking in the right areas in behind and right to the by line

Let's hope his natural ability of which he has a great deal, isn't coached out of him by athletic coaches.

Ahh the well known athletic coaches, Steven Gerrard and Gary McAllister...

He's a very exciting prospect. I would start him on Thursday in place of Murphy. 

[Broxi 11,505]

I was one of the "too early to start him and rely on him in big games" people but fuck it, I'd play him now too.

He reminds me a wee bit of McCann, a proper old-fashioned winger, not like Murphy who literally tries to cut it on to his right every single fucking time

Think people are too hard on Murphy he’s a much better player than people give him credit for - maybe better used as a number 10 type behind Morelos or something though

Anytime he moved into the middle last season he did look a lot better.

Even though he does cut inside a lot, he can glide past players with ease - people need to remember that as we’ve not a lot of players capable of that 

[TheKingObv 10,647]

Not sure charging aimlessly across the pitch counts as gliding past players with ease. He is one of our better dribblers, though.

I think he can glide past people tbh it’s the end product I’d say he lacks

Put a 10 million buy out clause on him 

Why??? Ideally we don’t want any buy out clauses.

Aye but unfortunately we'll never in a million years get close to 10 million for him

Murphy isn't a bad player he is however a terrible left winger. He is so one dimensional and predictable then when he does cut in he beats two or three players then loses it more often than not.

Move him in behind Morelos and let Murphy be our creative spark  I think he would excel there and let young Middleton star in the left wing role.

Get him signed on a long and improved contract with a hefty release clause NOW

Thinking about it release clause is probably not best as we may not maximize the fee that way. I suppose a release clause is usually dictated by player/agent so they can go if the player gets a better offer easier.

Sadly I'm starting to agree with this. He's also too lightweight and not quick enough to trouble the scum from the wing.

We need to build a team where we can be confident that 5 or 6 or more of our players can better their direct opponents in theirs consistently.

Goldson looks like one, Mcgregor too, then we have five or 6 maybes and the rest just aren't good enough (some yet and some never will be).

I think Murphy could easily be a part of a title winning side but not at left wing. 

[RangersMedia 35,961]

Easy to look good against absolute shite. He hasn’t played a good team yet so I think folk need to calm it 

He should continue to get opportunities to play over the next few weeks and if he continues to impress then I’m sure Gerrard will give him a start

But why the buy out clause? The market inflates every year and clubs in mid level European leagues always end up losing players for pennies because of them.
