I agree, was getting a bit mixed up there.I was suggesting extending his loan until January and then either recalling him then or selling him with 18 months remaining on his contract. He doesn't become 'worthless' at the 12 month point either so why would we release or pay off?
I think he has shown he has enough potential to try and make a real crack at getting into the 11 and at the very least a regular on the bench.You still believe it? I think he'll be sold.
Spot on.Rather get some money for Docherty and leave Kamberi at Hibs - that's both their level.
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a player to succeed more. His attitude appears exemplary and he’s one of us.Delighted to see Doc back.
Said from Day One, I believe he will be a first team regular.
If we’re swapping with anyone from hibs I hope it’s Boyle.Would swap for Kamberi tbh.
Tbf mate, I watched Doc against Hearts for Hibs and he had a very poor game.
Equally, I went down to Shrewsbury to see him a couple of times and he was the best man on the park.
I don't get your comparison with Davis though.
Davis is a deep, holding midfielder, while Docherty is a box to box athletic type of player.
He would struggle in games when teams are defending deep against us, but may offer something when teams come on to us.
I'd love to see him make it with us, but I've got my doubts tbh.
Biggest pre season of his life coming up, whenever that may be.
Would swap for Kamberi tbh.
I think he should be given the chance to prove himself in the role they played Kamberi. When quick feet and dynamism doesn’t work (Kent) he has that “run through walls” approach that might be the alternative we need against a 10 man defence. He has a good touch and a very good finisher from almost anywhere.
Sorry MU, I wasn’t meaning a direct comparison there between Davis and Doc.
Just in general, we willingly cut our midfield numbers down by letting the likes of King and Docherty go last year and ended up having to flog Davis within an inch of his life after the break.
Who? Allan is the only one that would get close to our bench and that wouldnt exactly be popularHeard we’ve been offered another Hibs player as a swap..
Hibs want crazy money for Kamberi.
we shouldve been giving the docherty or mccrorie a chance before signing the likes of coulibaly or king imo
Calling his loan spell at Hibs a success is a bit kind tbh.Docherty has been a success on every loan deal he’s had what more does he have to do
He hasn't really shown that at a rate worthy of considering him an option in all honesty.to be honest we are going to need a squad, not just 11 players..it's a long season.
Greg has shown at Hibs he can score and assist, he will be on low wages, I would definetly keep him.

I don't disagree with this, I just don't see who else they could offer without it being a laughably bad oneScott Allan is murder. He's nowhere near good enough for our bench.
Docherty wouldn't make our bench and Hibs didn't exactly miss Kamberi when he was on loan at Rangers.
Boyle, Kamberi, Dykes... jobbers just like Barker, Jones and Stewart.
Outwith us and them, Allan is easily the best player technically in Scotland.Scott Allan is murder. He's nowhere near good enough for our bench.

I'm not advocating signing him as he sold his soul for mentally challenged cash, but he isn't "murder".Who barely shows it. Gis fitness is also pathetic. He's a jump the dyke bheggar.
I agree. Think it would be a mistake to get rid.I think he should be kept. We still need squad players and I think he could play a part.

This is it. Gerrard and Beale don't rate him in possession of the ball.Based on nothing. He lacks composure in his passing, sadly, and you won’t make it here without it.

Fair enough - but then Gerrard and Beale need other options when the pitch is like a cow field and the opposition are committing foul after foul after foul.
For the most part you're absolutely right.I think he’s unsuited, in large part, for a career at Rangers when teams don’t come and have a go at you but shite it and pray for a point or a mistake.
It’s no surprise he’s looked best at teams where it’s frenetic and unstructured and open.
He’s a driving runner into space. We don’t see much of that.
Its a pity, I’d hoped he would get a proper chanceDoc is a good Scottish Premiership level midfielder.
He'll have a good career when he moves on, it just won't be at Rangers.
