Mate I reckon you are late 30s early 40s....my hero growing up was Cooper....the guy was a genius but he had a lot of off days...infact if you threw up his career goal stats he is 1 every 7 games.....the problem with Kent is that he was the first serious money we spent in years....the expectation levels are fever pitch with Kent whilst we revel in signing Kamara for 50k....we balance the books eventually....it's unfair to always complain £7million, every cunt wanked themselves senseless the night he signed....I've witnessed a lot worse money spent at Rangers than Ryan Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose48 950 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 He may only have a good run and a few step overs per game as a few on here are saying but every time he does this he draws defenders to him which creates openings for others.

To put it in perspective, the British record transfer fee in 1977 was Kevin Keegan’s £500,000 move to Hamburg, which was five times the fee we paid for Cooper. If we used a similar equivalency with the current British record fee (Coutinho for £105m) that would equate to us paying £21m for Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh reality is he’s needing took out the team for quite clearly obvious reasons in that he has contributed absolutely nothing for 3-4 games in a row. Doesn’t matter but, does a couple of step overs and potentially assists these days. Right now yes Wright deserves a chance over Kent, surprised that’s so hard to comprehend. If you don’t believe that you’re just blinded by step overs and the fact we’re carrying him and Aribo over the line. It's not hard to comprehend and something I literally posted once the game finished. I'd start Wright, but I'd keep Kent on the other side of him. But what you're finding hard to comprehend is that you said all he brings is work rate, and you can't own that statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is, being fairly ineffectual from a scoring/assists point of view and failing to make the difference/really pinning teams back, is sadly his default. It’s becoming more of a surprise when he’s actually ON form and playing 8/10 (never mind 9 or 10). Most weeks, he’s 3 to 6 out of 10. Yes, he shows fantastic work rate every game, which is great, but playing in the front line for Rangers, especially this team, all his numbers should be at least double what they are. But what really frustrates me about Kent is his often complete lack of directness and decision making, especially given his ability. Yesterday, like most games, he’s the king of the 2 yard pass. On top of that, he has the pace and talent to take on and beat someone but it’s amazing how often he fails to make the most of 1v1s, 2v2s, 3v3s. Tbf though, Aribo should have given him an assist yesterday. That was a ridiculous miss. But, the truth is, we need far better numbers and decision making in the final 3rd if were to push on next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,585 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 He's capable of much more than he's shown of late, but anyone who doesn't rate him is blind. Double figures for assists and close to double figures for goals too, he should be aiming for 15 of each by the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
