DietofWorms 2,063 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 When he was playing regularly in games, he often did my nut in for most of the 90 minutes but then popped up with a goal or brilliant assist. Still don't know what I think about him. plymouthranger, HG5 and beararse 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossco87 691 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I’d keep him and while maybe not a nailed on starter I would have him playing a bigger role. He can be frustrating as fuck at times but is also capable of doing things very few others in our squad can in terms of vision and passing which could be crucial when it comes to facing packed defences. Think a lot of folks opinions are based on the time he was pushed out wide under Gerrard latterly and Gio; it’s obvious he doesn’t have the pace to play that role, but the more central role dropping deep and linking up play Lammers was playing last night is ideal for him.

Nk89 1,289 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I would keep him and give him alot more game time than some, intelligent player, will hit a shot, wants the ball, isn't scared to make a mistake and gets what Rangers are all about. When he scored tht goal at Hibs it showed how much it means to him. The Archer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthranger 3,872 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 He’s not quick, but against a “low-block” he has that invention that few others do. One of these players who is frustrating to watch and often a 6/7 out of 10, but finishes the game with either a goal or an assist more often than not. You need players like him! Doubt he’ll feature much in European games, so we either need to give him the chance domestically or sell him. He’s well known around Europe so we’ll get a decent fee for him, but he’s also on decent wages we can’t just have sitting on the bench every week.

ElBufalo20 7,892 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Another player that fans have wild opinions over. He’s not as good as a lot say and he’s nowhere near as bad as some make out. Decent player to have in the squad but if a decent bid comes in he’ll be sold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,202 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Depends on what's on offer. I dont see him as a starter , but given his assists stats before his injury , he could be quite handy to bring on .

Darth Bear 15,096 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Would rather have Hagi in the squad than Lundstram to be honest. Would sell any player for the right price though and the squad is too big at the moment so a few have to go no matter what.

I wasn't referring to Hagi in particular. I was just stating what other players have been called on here. I like Hagi. He has great vision and can provide a wee moment of magic that can turn a game.

Flatcap 489 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Sell....his debut cameo was his finest (quarter) hour for us....what litttle pace he had was lost after the injury.

Agreed, if you take a proper no9 and try move him wider he doesnt score for a few games his head goes down. Loses form then gets dropped. Thats what worries me now we have dessers, danilo and roofe available now so he must play 2 up top imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertz85 940 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Seems a long way from being the player he was. I would sell but I doubt we have any takers for money we would want. Perhaps a loan to buy would be most realistic based on where he is at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glory awaits 284 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Against servette 5-6 players were warming up in front of east enclosure, Hagi being one of them, others were just going through the motions stretching etc, he was definitely doing a more intense warm up than any of the other subs.

I'd just love for him to get a few starts in a row and truly get to see where he is at, otherwise if we aren't going to do that I agree with most he is too valuable to just keep on the bench and we should sell.

gj923 1,457 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 No doubt we will be involved in a lot of turgid games in the league this season so having him at least as one of the 5 subs to come on and at least try something different other than relying on a Tav set piece, corner, penalty or cross would be good Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
