Arfield - time up?

[ElBuffalo20]

Unless injuries build up I don't see him getting much game time in what's left of the season.

Not heard if he is currently injured but if he's fit and isn't getting in squad that's without Raskin Lawrence and Hagi it doesn't look good for Scotty.

 

[Diego Maradona]

No. Decent sub for this season

Important squad member on and off of the pitch.

Continues to prove people wrong season after season and he's more than earned another year.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

I don't see him staying beyond his contract which is up in the summer, we have far too many quality choices in his position.

The likes of Alex Lowry or Cole McKinnon deserve the next step in his place, Arf has been great for us, though. A very handy player who's given us his all, good dressing room member as well.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

I think his game time will get less and less with the new players coming in, I think he was only supposed to be here short term but his form and fitness and attitude have made him indispensable at times.
Will be away in the summer.

 

[BWO]

Impact sub

We can't just get rid of all senior players in one go though.

He does a lot for Rangers off the park as well.

 

[IbroxForever]

Been a good player for us, but his time is up this season due to new signings and players coming back from injury never mind next season.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Arfield will get plenty time off the bench and continue to contribute when he does.

 

[The Canny Man]

Rather have him as an impact sub than Scott Wright.

 

[Kingging]

He has too much to offer to another club, whoever that might be, to play for just ten minutes every other week at Ibrox. I think he'll move on with our gratitude in the summer

 

[Awritenobad]

Arfield will pop up with a couple more important goals before the end of the season.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

We do if we wish to progress, sentimentality won't get us far. I like Arfield but as I've said, we have younger and fitter players in his position that more than deserve the nod in his place, especially with the home grown quota for Europe.

 

[kclarkhall]

Scott Wright that came off the bench and saved us against the sheep in the semi?

We need to upgrade but let’s not pretend Wright hasn’t had an impact as a sub.

Younger and fitter players that have zero experience of winning a league title for Rangers.

McGregor will go. Likely Davis too.

Scott Arfield comfortably has another year in him as an experienced squad player.

 

[Arkanoid]

I’d never discount Arfield
Would definitely want him in our 18 come the 26th that’s for sure

 

[adidasler]

I'd be happy with him off the bench occasionally - but much like Davis, he could probably play every week and boss it somewhere else in Premier league.

 

[GimmeShelter]

Times up for me, got plenty of options in that role now.

 

[SuperA II]

Love Scott

But we have loved and lost better players, maybe not any better people, but it goes with the territory.

Next year, a year older, a bit slower, and a bit less effective, even as a super sub.

I cant see another deal for him.

It will be a sad day.

You just love that salute

 

[Numans_Left_Peg]

Arfield will salute his way to another title before his time is out.

 

[Bigbluebear]

I thought he was a stick on for another season, but he's not featured much since Beale came in.

Equivalent of 3 full games he has played.

I think he might want to play more often somewhere for his last couple of seasons.

 

[The People]

Part of the old guard that's needing changing
great guy ,decent player and totally gets it ,but time move on imo.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

Younger and fitter players that have zero experience of winning a league title for Rangers.

McGregor will go. Likely Davis too.

Scott Arfield comfortably has another year in him as an experienced squad player.

We have Goldson, Tav, Jack and arguably Kamara and Kent as senior squad members. I just can't see us offering him an extended deal in the summer.

 

[TheLizardKing]

Time is up I think. Should be remembered fondly though, gave us some great memories.

 

[Coplandbear]

Should be released at the end of the season.

 

[sh3lldon]

No matter what he can still to this day come on and offer something different and sometimes its needed. Cant see him getting extended but wouldnt right off his impact yet

 

[stonewall Jackson]

Good servant who was well worth signing. Will struggle to get game time unless off the bench.

 

[OnTheWay]

We need to upgrade but let’s not pretend Wright hasn’t had an impact as a sub.

He didn't even say that though.

 

[barcelonabear]

Less of the he deserves another season, he’s not good enough to play on the deeper roles and we literally have loads more options in the 3 behind striker so he should be nowhere near the bench in a fully fit squad

 

[Craigie]

Unless injuries build up I don't see him getting much game time in what's left of the season.

Not heard if he is currently injured but if he's fit and isn't getting in squad that's without Raskin Lawrence and Hagi it doesn't look good for Scotty.

Some leap on the basis of not being in ONE squad.

 

[chilebear]

I really like Arfield but we can’t be too sentimental,
I’d hope we can find a you Scotty from somewhere

 

[mck1872]

Love him but he will rightly be away at the end of this season. Lowry can take his place in the squad.

 

[cambridgeblue]

Almost like some people don't grasp the concept of a "squad".

 

[pelem]

He has scored some important goals and is due some slack.

Never write a guy like him off.

 

[BucksBear]

Love the guy. He is everything you would expect from a Rangers player. His conduct is impeccable. Might be his last months in a blue jersey, and if it is, he will be able to hold his head up high and never have to put his hand in his pocket for a drink

 

[UnionBear]

Impact sub for rest of season then depart in the summer.

We want to actually win the league next season, hence the dire need for a clearout and reset in the summer.

No room for sentiment when it comes to trying to win league titles. We are way, way past that.

 

[TurnTheTide]

Think his time with us will end in the summer - been a fantastic signing, scored some important goals and gave us great moments

 

[HillsBill]

Aberdeen shows he still has a role to play. It may be less than before but still important nonetheless.

 

[ElBuffalo20]

Some leap on the basis of not being in ONE squad.

Hearts away is a very big game. If he's fit and Michael Beale hadn't mentioned any injury, he'll be very disappointed not to make the bench.

He has also barely played for weeks.

 

[roaring meg]

Nope

 

[Rangersnumberfour]

Already on seven goals for the season

 

[ElBuffalo20]

Never write a guy like him off.

I'm not criticising him in any way. Been a great signing and a cracking guy and role model for younger players.

 

[Sasa-]

Can't see him getting much more game time at all. We have so many good and better options now in the 2 positions he'd play.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

I just think now Beale will as he has been doing try to get the squad age down so all the players coming in will be younger and fitter and quicker and be able to mould into his team.
To play fast-attacking football you need fast-attacking strikers and midfielders.

 

[ElBuffalo20]

Already on seven goals for the season

My point is his game time seems to be getting less and less by the week.

Unused sub and not making match day squad aren't things you'd ever have expected.

 

[McCoist’sTinHat]

Rather have him as an impact sub than Scott Wright.

They can have different impacts. Arfield is great if you need a goal. Wright is more useful as an outball if you need to see games out or as a counter attacking threat.

 

[Empire]

Folk forgetting we can use 5 subs a season despite the manager pretty much mentioning it in any interview he does?

He didn't make the bench last night and has barely featured in weeks.

That was my point.

Jeezo, what a pointless OP. I really despair at the need of some posters to throw big wee blankets after a brilliant Away result

 

[Jardine72]

He’s still a fantastic impact sub. Wouldn’t mind him committing to another year, on reduced terms perhaps.
