He's here to get first team football, and provide Rangers with cover in defense, it's a mutually beneficial arrangement. I may be picking your post up wrong but I was pretty much saying the same thing, I agree he's here for his own personal gain. Apologies if I've taken this the wrong way but wasn't sure if you were digging me out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,302 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Only thing that bothers me is we could be playing/developing Katic, rather than developing a player who won't be here next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally we loan our players to clubs where they are up there with the clubs best players, usually means loaning them to clubs lower down the English tier. Aye it's for experience in our case but it's a player they usually wouldn't be able to afford In Worrall's case, we've got a guy who isn't better than what we have (opinions differ) & means we're sitting with a guy in Katic on the bench who we've paid money for and could be developing If Worrall was head & shoulders better than Katic I'd have no issue with him playing every week Bobby Hume 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It’s all well and good saying we should be playing our own players before a loan signing, but what if the loan signing is playing better and training better? i thought katic was immense in the early season games and then got injured, if he’s not recovered fully or is lacking abit of confidence from an early set back then it’s only right worral starts. I’d much prefer katic back at 100% because another performance like the Hamilton game would be bad for him. Also criticising worral for stating the obvious is really scraping the barrel. does anyone really expect him to say anything different? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,121 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 He's not our player, came here for game time. I'm not worried about what he says more what he does on the pitch. He needs to start concentrating on putting performances if he wants to get back into the Forest side or get a move, because if anything this spell has probably, so far, been average at best. I though we were getting a 15m rated, Premiership bound,future international. I know he's only young and learning but he's nowhere near that level. If he was offered to us for 3m I wouldn't take him. A non-story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm one of his biggest defenders on here. Not really got an issue with what he has said either. My hope is that we do have an option to buy for a low fee and would be happy if it does transpire as I rate the boy, even if he didn't play great in the last game. If we don't have an option and it is clear that he is going to go back at the end of the season, I would like to see Katic get more game time though. The only thing that would change my mind on this is if there are issues with Katic behind the scenes. Either with performances in training or if he has off the field issues. Don't have anything to suggest there is such a problem, so hopefully not and he can flourish here. I think Worral is a little bit better than Katic at the minute, but there ain't much in it. I do have a bit of a worry that people have too great an expectation on Katic at the minute though. When he does get his chance again, I hope folk temper their expectations as he isn't as good as Goldson just yet and will make the odd mistake.

Inigo 32,526 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 There're solid reasons for loaning players. Getting guys you couldn't normally afford and/or to ease the burden of the wage bill, given that the owning club normally continue to pick up much of the wage. Obviously one restriction is that most clubs are going to want to see their players get game time. I think we're going to have to learn to live with that. As long as we're careful about who the loan player his, it's fine. If we make an arse of that judgement, it's a millstone. In this case, Worral probably isn't good enough to justify a 'must play' status (if he has it), and it's probably come round because we needed another CB and were running out of time and options. So basically, like many things, it's something that's useful if you use it well and a problem if you don't. Hopefully with fewer time pressures and improved networks our use of loans will improve, because I doubt we'll ever be able to afford to not to use them. I mean, we have 3 loans just now. Could we have afforded to buy 3 good players instead and pay them full wages? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backup 4,724 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 We pay around £2 million for Katic and he is below a not very good loan player in the pecking order, economics of the mad house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 If we just keep repeating that Worrall has a clause in his contract, that he must play then it will eventually be passed off as fact. It's a bit taigy, as they have been doing it for years, but never mind. Tiger Shaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
