ofb1988 61 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Would have loved marv to be a bit younger to play alongside cuellar I think it would be some partnership. Then again Cuellar and Boumsong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 To answer the question, Carlos and Marvin for me. Boumsong was vastly over-rated in retrospect of his time with us. He had bad decision making and wasn't as good as he thought he was. Hearts, 3-2 at Ibrox? De Vries owned JAB, Marvin would have sorted out Mark! I said the other day actually to my Dad that Carlos and Davie for that matter were the best out and out defenders since Marvin. Marvin didn't always see the danger, yes but when he did, he always won the challenge fairly be it on the ground or in the air. Infact Soti was also over-rated IMO and Marvin carried him at times. Marvin done the basics, the bare essentials very well and sometimes that is overlooked too often when some for ability in defenders. It isn't always essential for them to have pace or passing ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Newells Sexist Army 2 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Marv was a Broadfoot type signing, solid if not the best and will do a job in the SPL. I always loved the fact he basically had no cartilage left in his knee and the doctors told him if he kept playing it could go at any time and that would be his career, but he played on because God told him too. Almost as bad as Jay-Jay Okocha saying God told him to move to Hull City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, Andrews was an embarrassment - surel head the ball - bad had no ability, no pace, no lateral movement and was a liability every time teams came at us on the deck.

BAILLIESTONLOYALIST 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 big marv, as someone said, he wasnt the most gifted player, but his commitment was second to none, he played route one football, never tried to skin players and leave the back line vulnerable, always looked after his teammates, mind he played on for a while with his arm out its socket, and refused to go for treatment on his (foot?) and im 100% confidant, if it wasnt for big marv, helicopter sunday would never have happend, for a long spell that season, the team were playing with there heads down, no sense of leadership or anything, that was until big marv came out with the keep believin statement, then, and then only, did the team start laying togethher and for each other, so as someone else said, he is and always wil be, a legend. i know that was off-topic, but it had to be said, its a good point, big carlos is immense, but amo had a few bad seasons before he became reliable. the way i see it, defenders should skelp the ball tae feck every chance they get and leave the midfielders and strikers to play football,, the way big cuellar does, so i would say yes, he is the best since gough, or possibly weir.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,637 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Cuellar and Webster will be the next CB partnership at Ibrox I believe providing Webster stays fit. I hope not as neither have the organisational and leadership skills that any central defensive partnership needs. We need to go into the market for an experienced Centre Back with leadership qualities IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
