Dessers and Colak both nice guys but for some bizarre reason Colak is held in this incredibly high regard by comparison.

Laudrupsleftfoot 11,338 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 5 hours ago, SPWF said: Colak cost less than £2m and his finishing was light years ahead of Dessers. That’s why he’s held in higher regard. If he’d been retained and had played the same number of games as Dessers has this season I’ve absolutely no doubt he would’ve had a lot more goals. 3 hours ago, graeme_4 said: Knew where the goal was probably… It had to be given to him on a plate though, in general play he was often a man down. Without going back to check I don’t even think their goal scoring records are that dissimilar, Colak maybe slightly on the right side of 1 in 2 and Dessers slightly on the wrong side. Some of Dessers’ assists and quality of goals have been levels above Colak too. That’s not to say we don’t need better than Dessers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al 55 9,309 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 16 hours ago, Broxi said: Because Colak consistently finished his chances and Dessers consistently fucks up his chances. Would pick Colak over Dessers every day of the week Not going to overexaggerate how good Colak was either but there was a feeling at the time he was here that, sure he won't create things out of nothing, but if a chance fell to him then it was going into the net. And not just tap ins or poaches either, some proper strikes and some nice plays like his second vs St Mirren in the 4-0 match etc. How has he done since he’s left?

ForeverAndEver 72,130 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 What is the basis of Colak not getting that first chance? The ball was played by the St Johnstone player straight to Dessers, who just had to run straight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Ranger 3,195 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Some people seem to believe all any striker has to do is hang around the penalty box and they’ll get opportunities, that’s simply not the case. Dessers is up there with the best of Rangers centre forwards when it comes to making opportunities for himself, if he can hit a bit of form and start converting a higher percentage then we’ll be in a very good place.

PromDeAnglais 5,697 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Colak always scored barrel loads in a 4-4-2, he needed that supporting striker, think Boyd and Miller, I doubt Boyd would have been as prolific as a lone striker, they were both penalty box strikers that needed a strike partner. I remember I did a deep dive on Colak at previous teams, he had an amazing few seasons at Malmo in a 4-4-2 then a shite season in Greece in a 4-3-3. Then we signed him to play in a 4-3-3. I can't be arsed researching Dessers and my mental health will thank me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can go all the way back to the early days of super Ally at a time large sections of Ibrox regularly told him where to go. Up until Dessers I can’t remember any other Rangers strikers who gave themselves more great goal scoring opportunities in matches. Not the same as converting chances, he’s way down the list at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwellGers 14,790 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Missed the game yesterday but watched extended highlights late last night. I like Dessers and the effort he puts in, his goal return is decent. However I was absolutely cringing at the chances he squandered, absolutely terrible play for a striker. Taking ages to get the shot away and just blundering into defenders or making a total mess of it. If we were dropping any points at present I think he'd be getting absolute pelters from the support, hostility even. I do hope he can improve of course but doubtful.

He's nowhere near the best we have had at creating, that's a mental take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
