I’d say he’s a utility player, who could play right back, anywhere across the midfield. It offers multiple options. Would also say he’s better than polster imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when Morelos is suspended he could stand in as the lone striker. Solid and would not give defenders peace for 90 mins.

Wit? Think it all started when one guy said it in a match thread and cunt’s just started repeating it. We’ve had “Tav can’t defend” & “Docherty’s just an athlete”. Can’t wait for the season to start and hear what the latest parroted nonsense will be. BridgeIsBlue and GlasgowRangersFC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rgs649 37 Posted July 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 Everyone seems excited by the signing of Aribo. Docherty is the same age, scored the same amount of goals last season in the same league, got more assists and this was playing for a team battling relegation instead of chasing promotion. Should definitely be given a chance. Rangers_no1, trueblue 64, Roy Hobbs and 19 others 22 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RB option basically means he never plays. Maurice Edu was very much similar to Doc in that he covered some impressive distances. Some took to Edu and others constantly slated him. Needless to say Edu played his part in quite a successful team because our manager at the time knew how to use him effectively. I think Doc has a little more creative ability than Edu but going by some of the critism he gets on here, you might think he is no better than the players we have just released. I hope the boy does well as, like the article suggests, his attitude is spot on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time suggested to me that Dorrans ( I know ,fitness ) , McCrorie & Rossiter are better but maybe he has improved. We will see......... Edu took some abuse on here. I thought he was decent. sco22y and They Gnu 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the lad and honestly believe he’s got plenty to offer, it wasn’t easy for him last time and let’s get it right, he didn’t excel but was in a team who didn’t excel as a whole but for whatever reason he got picked out for being shite. I think personally he’ll do well this coming season when needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should definitely be given a chance. If we look at the detail though, Aribos overall form last season was stand out and widely reported to be much too good for the league. He also had a multitude of clubs after him (including EPL clubs) and will be one of our highest earners. Also, Docherty was actually very inconsistent last season and he plays further forward, so should have scored more etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
