Absolutely loving the "not surprised" brigade on here
Last season this place was raving about him, he was a mainstay for Hamburg at the time.
That’s just nonsense. When he was with us he was a very raw but talented defender.
He's honking. He was an FF favourite though but it'll now do its usual flip and say he was always sh*te anyway
He's a nice guy though and made a decent bit of money over there so fair play to him.
This forum is made up by thousands of people many with different, and some with similar, views and opinions.
‘This place’ had just as many people ‘raving’ about the player has it had those questioning his qualities.
Is that so difficult to process?

Tried a move that most British players don't, so good for him.
But being brutally honest, he's not very good, being better than Russel Martin, Danny Wilson and a 37 year old Bruno Alves who didn't want to be here is hardly a shining light.
Not really. David Bates is better than Russel Martin but he still isn’t good enough for Rangers or the Bundesliga.And we wonder why our explayers hate us in the media reading some of the comments on here.
How do you know that?
He was basic. That's the best I can say about him.That’s just nonsense. When he was with us he was a very raw but talented defender.
That can’t be right as he is a Scottish InternationalNot surprised to be honest.
He's not very good
I think he will be a David Weir type player who will blossom late on in his career, all the best to the lad!
Super duper for some last season.Not surprised to be honest.
He's not very good
So talented he’s been binned already?That’s just nonsense. When he was with us he was a very raw but talented defender.

Schadenfreude central.Seems a lot on here are happy that he has been told he can go
Never understand why some are so pleased to see ex players (in their opinion) fail
Maybe just jealous
Davie Weir played in the English Premier League most of his career, having been linked with a lot of top clubs before going there. He didn't just blossom late on. He was a top player.
I know that mate, but he didnt really "blossom" until he moved to Everton at the age of 29 mate.Davie Weir played in the English Premier League most of his career, having been linked with a lot of top clubs before going there. He didn't just blossom late on. He was a top player.
Was thinking this myself mate.. wasnt just me then hahaDo you really believe this jibberish? Weir didn’t move down south until he was nearly 30! After nearly leaving the game, shooting across to US, coming back for Falkirk then Hearts.
Honestly the amount of people who offer absolute statements without one iota of knowledge is frightening

He wasnt good for us at all yet, because he was better than Martin and Wilson, folk thought he was brilliant. Was really bizarre.
Nowhere near the class of Katic and Goldson.
However, fair play to him for taking the move on. What an experience.
An ‘FF favourite’? Well some contributors rated him but equally some didn’t.
‘it’ll’ now do it’s usual flip’, eh?
The forum has a range of views and opinions. ‘It’ doesn’t have a single voice.
Correct, He wasn’t .Not surprised.
Never good enough.
Bruno alves was rank rotten in a rangers jersey.He wasn’t better than Bruno Alves!

Bates was a very popular player when he was here mate that's not up for debate.
