Super Ally Scores Again! 472 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Think he offers plenty - Unfortunately we are playing him in an unfamiliar position (RW) and expect him to ‘set it on fire’ with a 3min/10min/20min cameo as a sub. Give him a chance - He’s definitely behind Morelos and Roofe but offers something different if we need it. Can’t argue that Dykes mite have been a cheaper option with a bigger impact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Not seen the game so can’t really comment but would like to see him get some decent game time to getter a proper feel of whether he will be a decent acquisition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 There's something about him I really like. He gets into good positions, has a great touch and runs himself into the ground. Wee bit of composure in front of goal (or maybe match sharpness?) and the goals will come for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Robot 21,150 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Apart from the nice two goals, nothing from him has impressed me. He’s missing sitters but I suppose he’s in the positions so maybe it’s just lack of sharpness. I’m not writing him off but he needs to step it up big time.

Itten is a year and a half younger and has scored far more goals in the Swiss Super League, has far more caps at youth level and actually has senior caps and goals too. If you are talking about sitting on the bench and coming on and making a cameo this season then yes, but long term in developing a player to be a first choice goalscorer who we can sell for a profit then there’s no chance Kamberi even gets factored in to that thinking for us.

Professor_Chang 1,055 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Should have played through the middle ahead of Defoe last night IMO.

RockwellGers 14,712 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Some players take longer to come good, Barisic is the best example of late. This might be a simple statement but it's a thing that happens all the time in football, we've all seen it. No use in writing him off at this stage, I don't get that attitude at all.
