Lone Striker Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 2 hours ago, davemclaren said: I still get depressed when I recall Ralph Callachan getting sold to Newcastle then six months or so later moving to Hibs. And let’s not talk about Eamonn Bannon… 🧐 Yes, agreed - but they (and Cammy Fraser) were pretty much the only good young sellable players we had, at a time when the club was heading south financially (not for the first or last time). Eamonn was a bit unlucky at Chelsea - apart from him not being ready for top-flight English football, Danny Blanchflower got sacked a few months after signing him. Sad to say, Eddie Turnbull & Jim McLean were very astute managers when it came to identifying players to improve their teams. I reckon if Wallace Mercer hadn't made the swift approach to Newcastle to buy Robbo back in 1988, Hibs or the OF would have done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 His presence brings negative vibes. We don't need the distraction. Rangers want him now and we're happy to get rid if the price is right. Hopefully it will be done by midweek so we can get with more important business. If not, I'm sure he will give 100% until the end of the season and will help us to European football and cup glory. Both have their positives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) We are in a dammed if you do dammed if you don’t scenario. I feel playing him against Celtic gives us a better chance of a win, but for as long as Rangers are comfortable he will keep getting game time then they won’t stump up the fee. If he is likely to sit out or on the bench till the summer then they are more likely to pay. For me he has to sit out and we move on, move Smith in or play Moore. If Rangers still don’t pay the fee come Feburary then we can reassess as to when we use him. Edited January 23, 2022 by Gorgie_Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly not booing him. We want him to play well and help us achieve European football and a cup final. That's all that should matter to us as supporters. Nobody has to cheer him either as that just creates more negative vibes. Don't let Rangers and John Souttar undermine the positive direction the club has been heading in.

Simple Yes or No answer please, if John Souttar was signing under the exact same circumstances for Hibs and not Sevco would you be prepared to boo him or still wish him all the best at his new club? Interesting question. But not entirely the same situation. Hibs are our direct rival at our level, and don't pay the sort of wages which one of our players would jump at. Like it or not, Rangers are a level above us in wages and trophy-winning ability. To answer your question though, I wouldn't play a player if he'd signed a PC for Hibs - largely to set an example to other players thinking of doing the same - and start giving game time to his replacement right away. The same "get-out" is available to Robbie now - but if Rangers don't come up with a decent offer in the next 9 days, he has to decide what to do with JS for the next 5 months. Just a reminder - there's a big gulf between booing him and wishing him all the best at his new club. I'm doing neither, thanks Edited January 23, 2022 by Lone Striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
