Ayrshire_blue 0 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Panathinaikos Argentenian midfielder Sebastion Romero has spent years listening to Gabriel Amato singing the praises of Rangers. Quote:"I have never met a footballer who has played for so many clubs in his playin career.Gabriel could have told me stories about all of them but instead he only spoke of Rangers"."He told me that Rangers was the best club in the world". Scottish Mail On Sunday. Mr Amato,with Valentines day coming up,gies you're address & you will recieve a big bouquet of roses from one hairy arsed Scotsman.

the bears ba's 1 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Amato was class!! Pity he didn't see eye to eye wi Advocaat or he would have been a Rangers legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson 2 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Will never forget out first glimpse of him- 3-0 down to Shamrock and he ended up winning the game pretty much all by himself 5-3. What could have been... Cheers Gaby, the feelings mutual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy2212 151 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 could have done with him yesturday, it worries me how poor we were and now we cant rely on celtic being shite - they are starting to hit a bit of form WATP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 He was an exceptional player. Some of his skills on the ball were of a Cristano Ronaldo ilk. It's something I've not been able to say about a Gers player much recently, but I used to look forward to Amato recieving the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkiebear 1,013 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Nice to see a former player, especially a foreign one, speak so highly of us. Top man Gaby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 He was quality. The sheer ability of the guy was a joy to watch. I remember he tore celtc a new on in the 4-2 game at Ibrox in 1999. Was pretty sad to see him leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxblue 122 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Mikel Arteta said something quite interesting in The Guardian yesterday: "I have been very lucky because I have played with some of the best in the world: footballers who could be classed as superstars," he says. "I have always tried to learn from others, particularly skilful players. Ronaldinho was one but my favourite was Claudio Caniggia, the Argentinian. I played with him at Rangers and I loved watching him, the way he read the game, how cheeky he was. That's how I try to play." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbob1969 1,504 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thats exactly the problem, Rangers have been spoiled in the past, Laudrup, Gascoigne, Amato, Caniggia, we'll need a few coffers in the bank before we can attract such players again, till then Walter's way is our best bet, steady steady. Celtic do have the money though and all they can attract is shect of the lowest order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I don't think you need a lot of money to find players like this, instead, you need a good scouting network. Money helps but you can get some cracking, exciting, skillful, crowd pleasing players out there for reletively low prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejeff 16 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 christ i forgot just how good amato actually was, we could do with some of his imagination now ; he's another player that fell foul of advocaat . so sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I'm glad Ewan Chester is back on board at Rangers... we should be building our network, and his ability and knowledge is key to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
