Well going on this seasons performances he’s got no chance. All well and good thinking it but saying it is quite disrespectful to the team especially when his performances have been sub par for a while. He will be lucky to get a move to the English championship at this rate Ivybank, Leftpegcoopz11, Rangers_no1 and 8 others 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,595 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Never took to the guy at all , one of these players who calls off for a sore finger🤦♂️ ( my ex source at ibrox said!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintbob1969 1,473 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Morelos used to have this claim, doesn't bother me if the player produces incredible shop window performances. Its when you see Kent, Kamara, and others unable to maintain the highest levels and then sell for way below what they once were valued at.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,815 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 We should be a stepping board to the EPL. We should be selling ourselves as that to foreigners and not shy away from it. If they have the same ideology great. We just need them to perform well, and get them their move and us the transfer fee that we want and everyone is happy. Unfortunately we don't do it well whereas across the city they've done far far better. We're a selling club, in a selling league, next door to a world of riches. Its an opportunity for us and one we should exploit without any embarrassment or anger towards the situation or player.

OrangeRab 2,780 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I’m happy with a few players who come here as a means to progress to a higher level as long as they perform. The bit we f up is not selling them at their peak. Then they become disillusioned, their performances drop and they drag down the whole squad. Seen it too often with Kamara, Kent etc. We have this reluctance to accept this new model. Where we buy young, hungry, talented and ambitious players and sell them on. Instead we cling on to the old guard for dear life. And/or sign guys like Dessers with no potential for improvement and sell-on value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast 9,230 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Our mythical player trading model is just that, bring in promising young players from abroad for a smallish fee, get 2-3 good years from them and if they perform well they get noticed by EPL clubs that offer the player and us big bucks. I don't see anything wrong with what he said. Or is he meant to have grown up in Belgium with an ambition to play in the SPFL as the pinnacle of his career?

.Williamson. 82,643 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I’ve no problem with him or any of our other players having that ambition but he’s miles off it, I don’t think he’s that great at all. I think so far he’s been incredibly overrated by some out-width a handful of performances here and there delparlane, Albion and BlueAvenger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenger 10,310 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 If he wants to move to the EPL in the future and we get a big fee then brilliant. But by fuck he needs to do more and improve Albion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal72 11,374 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I wish players would shut up when it comes to things like this. We have been absolutely shite, Raskin performances included. Absolutely no position to say you want to use us a stepping stone to the EPL or whatever. Do your talking on the pitch, and if someone from a better league thinks you're good enough, they'll let you and us know, and we'll make big cash. Embarrassing.

I was just thinking lets face it, your an idiot if you dont realise most foreign players final aspirations wont be to play in the spl. But why bang on about it over and over.

Bigdave30 8,717 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Raskin hasn’t hit anywhere near the levels we seen from Kamara during 55 or the euro run, needs to concentrate on not playing shite before talking out his fucking arse.

Most players don't move to a club and say "I'm using this as a stepping stone" it's such a shite mentality. Here's my thoughts: Lucky you're getting the opportunity to play Infront of 50k. It's a privileged position. Play well, do your best, earn the next move by actually playing Football. Talking such things, especially when your performances have been so crap, is embarrassing and could be written off as pure delusion. Another stick to beat us with, players can't be arsed here, but they're so shite themselves dreaming that they'll play for Chelsea and the likes. Away ye go.

Cantwell seems to have went down in some fans estimations since he's been injured, or this season. He was a standout 2nd half of last season, then gets dropped for first league game of this season (to fit Lammers in) then is played in a less influential role. Fuck all wrong with the player, more the manager tbh. Raskin flatters to deceive, but think he's better than what he's shown so far. Maybe not quite EPL standard though as he thinks. bluenose244 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the right money comes in we have proven we will sell. Bassey and Aribo are examples of that. With Morelos the right money at the right time didn't come in. The fans would have been accepting enough of the right bid. Same with Kent. Same with Kamara. I think we as fans do accept this model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie0202 12,367 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 See before we all really get tore in to Raskin what is the article in the paper and what are the quotes from Raskin himself that @AGC123 is refering to? Papers, especially Scottish sport pages have a habit of misinformation. AGC123, Polo and ElBufalo20 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatcap 491 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Bassey and Patterson both went while young and at their peak value. Had we unloaded Kent, Morelas and Kamara at the same time, we might have had enough money for the sort of rebuild that is now needed. Sadly, we missed the sailing times and we are now on the slow boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris182 6,317 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Surely no-ones shocked by this now? Any player with ambition wants to play in the EPL, I wouldn't have it any other way.
