Essandoh 21,294 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I’m not saying he’s not rated - he obviously is with the cult hero status that he still receives whenever his name is mentioned. I just think that he might be underestimated given the level he was playing at, his trophy haul, international experience (39 caps for some very decent Bosnian teams with Dzeko et al), and the standard of consistency he displayed across all competitions including the Champions League. Anyway, I’m a bit cunted and this entire post has come from 2:05 in this clip ger4life_1872, BookWorm and AlbertzLoyalRSC 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Enclosure Row N 2,840 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Underestimated by whom? Papac was solid. Week in, week out. 215 games in 6 seasons. Reliable. Dependable. bornabear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dependable. My point is basically was he better than ‘solid’. How does he rank with our best left backs? I’m not saying he was the best I’m just wondering how highly he’s valued.

psb07158 33,613 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Defensively he was superb. Going forward he'd basically just shite himself when he got in the opponent's half (he had 20 goal contributions in over 200 games for us). Worked perfectly in that Rangers team though, we had other players to contribute the goals and assists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dependable and rock solid defensively. Was never the best player in the team but also I can’t remember ever thinking we should be looking to sign better despite his limitations going forward Walter moved him to left back from centre half which was a master stroke but there’s no way he’d get to play as a full back in the modern Rangers team against the 10 man defences we see most weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Will Follow Rangers 12,959 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 A 7 out of 10 player, but, consistently a 7 out of 10 player. Loved him, put it all on the line for us every time he played. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,981 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Solid LB in a defensive backline. Pish at CB. Wouldn't work in todays team, but did a terrific job for Walter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossS1873 1,688 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 If he wasn't left footed he'd have probably been sold when Walter came back. A dodgy first followed by 5 consistently great seasons. Seems to be in-between a cult hero and under-appreciated but he was just a solid pro who once moved to LB, never let us down Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ally Scores Again! 485 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Signed as a CB and it didn’t really work - Moved to LB and made the position his own Solid week in week out Enjoys a good status within the support based on the success he was part of and the 2008 run to Manchester. Nowhere near the best LB we have ever had but a dependable option during his time with us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofy The Scot 613 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Rock solid. You'd never get a 10 out of 10 performance from him, but equally you'd never get a 5 out of 10 from him either.
