I don’t accept for one second that Cantwell is ‘too talented to be spending his best years with us’, though. If we had the choice of £3 or £4m this month for Cantwell, or letting Clement see what he can do with him, I’d take the money. 2 hours ago, King Jela said: He's far too talented for us?

I meant our league rather than club but accept that’s not how it reads. He’’s got incredible talent imo that should be seeing him at a good EPL club at some point and us earning a good fee after a few more trophies. That’s not looking particularly likely right now but I hope Clement sees that as one of his puzzles he talks about rather than looking forward to moving him on.

You’re probably right based on how it’s looking. Hope Clement sees it as a challenge to get his ability and performances out of him rather than sell when his stock is low is what I’m saying my preference is. Down to Cantwell to respond though.

But just don’t see what Cantwell has to take him to the next level. He’s not blessed with great pace or physicality to do well in the Prem. Technically he’s ok but doesn’t score a lot. And he was schooled by McGregor in the last OF. Can still kick on and be a big player for us. But would put him same bracket as Aribo quality wise.

Agree Cantwell will know he has to find the form he had when he first joined Raskin as well for me. Albion and Bobby Hume 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even behind someone like Kamara I was reflecting earlier on what I’d posted before seeing your post and I did think about the physicality/pace element for the EPL. So that’s a reasonable point. What I think he has, but what seems to be dying from the game a bit unless you are a top top player with all/most of the other components that go along with it, is that ability to spot the pass others don’t see and can’t make. It’s not that he doesn’t work hard but he needs a bit of freedom of movement and most teams systems now don’t really allow that. Just separately on the ‘schooling by McGregor’ bit - that hasn’t half been overplayed. Was a game where we went long for most of it and they had most of the ball. Us dominating the ball and McGregor worrying about Cantwell on it is where we’ll see the best of him. Albeit he should have done far better with the couple of good opportunities he did have.

Moody Blue 9,515 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I want to like him, but I don't think I do. Far too often he's completely ineffectual, picks up silly bookings and lacks pace to do real damage on the break, most of which probably explains why he's at us in the first place. Like most in the squad, if a reasonable offer came in, I'd sell to give the boss as much money as we can to support him.

geneva_ger 9,453 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I think he has talent but he's 50/50 on determination to prove it. Holds the ball too long but capable of worldy passes at times. Not as all-round talented as Hagi. If he goes or if he's kept I'm not too bothered tbh but he needs to improve his stats if he's to stay.

VanVeenRangers 2,563 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Cantwell is immature and doesn't have the right attitude to play with Rangers. He keeps the ball too long and tries to take on too many people to show off his skills and more times than not fails. His performance against the tarriers summed him up. Sell him.
