Ridvan Yilmaz

The least I expect from a multi-pound signing is a couple of good passes, which they were. I thought last night was his best game so far, but no more than a 6/10. He has youth on his side and can only get better, but I feel he gets more praise because fans want a change from Borna. Praising him for taking a yellow because he got roasted is hilarious.

I'm not sold on him yet, and with Borna in declining years, LB is a concern.

Sterling (if he signs) is a right back and the same for Devine (remember him).

Related but slightly different, I like how he also pressures the player far quicker when they get near the box.

Barisic tended to just back off and back off until they were in or around the area in a far more dangerous position, especially when in the box and adding to the potential to give away a pen.

Somebody said Barisic defends like someone is running at him with a blade and you can’t unsee it afterwards.

He didn't get roasted for the booking lol, he tried a backheel, it never worked and thd rebound fell to the hearts boy who took off, yilmaz pulled him back

Absolutely no part of it was a roasting

I’m not sold on him either but he did fine last night. Glad he’s getting a run in the team, only after a good 6m playing regularly will we be able to make a firm judgement on him. Personally, I’d rather we’d not spent that money on him as I’d feel better about him (not his fault) but still find it baffling we spent multi millions on a LB when we have so many other problems all over the park.

Crossing needs work and gets caught the wrong side occasionally but most full backs do. Always wants to support the attack and think he’ll be better with a preseason. Think there’s a player in there

You don’t think spending money on better defenders is a priority? Perhaps with better defenders we might not loose so many stupid goals

Promising however needs to work on his crossing. Usually overhits it.

No, a priority was a CF who could score us 20+ goals a season

So when we signed Colak two weeks before Yilmaz do you think we were trying to address that too?

Your dislike of Colak is utterly bizarre.

Eh?   I was responding to a poster who was questioning buying Yillmaz instead of a striker. I let him know we did buy a striker two weeks before.  
 

Weird post tbh.

Tbf we win that game comfortably last night if both our front line was better and jack (a midfielder) didnt sell the jerseys 

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,595]

Fwiw, had colak stayed fit all season i think he'd be top goalscorer the now, even under beale,

We scrimped on a CF and spunked money on a LB to play second fiddle to Barisic all season until the league was done. The same way we spunked money on a CB that’s as soft as a baby’s first shite to play in Scotland. Our front options are what’s cost us.

Sorry not keeping up with you. You’re all over the place

Let me simplify, up to £5m for a Turkish small LB was spunking money and stupidly spent and I am not convinced by him, despite others fawning over him, stop being a dick

Dunno how you came to that conclusion from his post. 
 

He was saying we’d already bought a striker before Yilmaz.

I said we did buy a CF BEFORE addressing the defence (ie Yumaz) his name is Colak - so a priority for a striker WAS addressed before the defence 

then you went all goo goo

I think Yilmaz looks promising. He’s not had the best starts with us due to injury and Borna actually improving at the start of the season and cementing his place. But lad looks quick, likes to tackle, has a decent range of passing and although his crossing wasn’t great, I think it will improve. He also hasn’t so far appeared to be intimidated by any opposition he’s come up against.  Oh and also thought his crossing improved during Hearts game  and to me Tavs crossing was poor against Hearts as well for comparison. 

For me, Borna’s time at Rangers has run its course. We should try and move him on and get any sort of fee for him and give Yilmaz the position for next season, we need to invest in a back up but Devine and if we get that lad Sterling can both play there. So we would have some sort of cover. 

it’s really up to Yilmaz to make the position his own now.  As for Borna, he’s done well for us over his time here, some of his crossing has been sublime, but I think we’d all agree that at times, he’s not been as strong in that position as he should have been. If he does go then all the very best to him.

Yeah I absolutely fucked this. I mixed you up with somebody else who hates Colak and I misinterpreted your post completely because I didn’t read the whole topic. My bad 

 

[Smile 26,610]

He's a better defender than I thought just has to work on his crossing.

Has a strange old mans face though.

I cant see why anyone would hate Colak before injury he had like 14 in 16 games and got us qualified for the Champions League.

If Beale played him as he is as a penalty box striker once fit he would get the goals once again.

Doesn’t really fit the system but he’s very good at what he does
