LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 A very bizarre signing. Even more so if he ends up actually getting games for someone else this season. The Archer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre from the point that we’ve waited until it seems like he’s ready to play football again and then decided to release him. Along with his insta posts a while back it makes it all seem a bit odd. Good luck to him though. hawkfalcons 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangersross 6,679 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Feel for the guy. Must be absolutely devastating to make it to a club like Rangers then find out you'll likely never play again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because it would be an absolutely fucking horrific move to rip his deal up while he was dealing with a heart problem that had stopped him playing. wully, WWTC, Jasper Blues and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripping it up as soon as we’re able to isn’t exactly a classy move either tbf. Could have loaned the boy out or tried to help him find another move. Of course this is assuming he’ll continue playing. It might well be a different career altogether. Maybe one day he’ll explain the insta posts though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we came to an agreement with him that two years out of football means he’s never getting close to the team here so instead of wasting another couple of years sitting here and not coming close to playing, we’ll pay up your deal and you can move on and find a new club without the need to do it before the end of the month - or a new career.

Yeah, it's pretty sensible. He's not going to get the time here to recover two years of lost fitness etc. The Dude and scottyscott1963 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be reading into it too much but I think the fact we’ve said he’ll purse “a” career elsewhere and not “his” could suggest he won’t be playing again. It’s a shame for the boy if that’s the case at his age. Obviously not his fault we’ve signed him before picking up on his condition either.

However if he is going to continue playing, had he remained here beyond the transfer deadline then that’s another six months of sitting on his arse not playing. Can totally understand why it’s best for both parties for him to move on now. LaudrupsPatrickBoots and J-Maestro 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reads more to me like he has been supported through rehab by us and now that he is ready to play football again we are letting him move on. Very unlikely he would make it here after being out for so long. Jasper Blues 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaka 1,817 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Good luck to the lad. It's a shame how his career has gone but I think it's best for both sides now that he moves on. With the condition he had, i think it's unlikely he will play at any significant level so he might risk it in the lower leagues or more likely pursue a different career and just play casually.
