MOTM as third choice RB alongside third choice GK when we had the filth on a string.
Happy days.

In hindsight he should have been given another year
The first of his appearances on this pod was during the summer after 55. It’s good. He talks very well about us and a huge section on Mick Beale. The first half is all about Rangers, then the second half is on other stuff.Really enjoy listening to big Leon.
He talks about his time with us, how he left and about Beale (filmed before he left QPR).
Better than Helander, Souttar and Davies. That must be about £50-60k per week of unavailable talent.65 appearances in 2 years Some of the current crocks won't manage 5 appearances
Shouldn’t have been allowed to go.
There was some fuuckin fanny on here who was telling us Souttar was the best defender in the league too.
Panned out well then.He was one of the best defenders in the league last season which is why he made the team of the season.
It wasn't hindsightIn hindsight he should have been given another year
Why?
He was another guy that couldnt keep himself fit
Did he ever manage 3 games in a row for us ?
Letting him and Katic go was another masterstroke by Ross Wilson.
Seriously, I didn't even think he had a good game against us.He was one of the best defenders in the league last season which is why he made the team of the season.
Katic said it was Gio that froze him out and Balogun has confirmed Wilson wanted to keep him and tried to convince Gio to keep him.Why Wilson and not gio?
Exactly mate but same shite is peddled on here how it’s Wilson that’s deciding the signings and not the managerKatic said it was Gio that froze him out and Balogun has confirmed Wilson wanted to keep him and tried to convince Gio to keep him.
I’m not Wilson’s biggest fan and I think he is a bit of a del boy however let’s not bash him for something he didn’t do.
The manager got the last say and that’s how it should be whether we like the decision or not.
Ultimately they live or die on their decisions and unfortunately for Gio it came back to bite him.
I assume you didn't watch the Scottish Cup Final?Seriously, I didn't even think he had a good game against us.
Yes, I watched it why would I not I've never missed watching a Rangers game in as long as I can remember.I assume you didn't watch the Scottish Cup Final?
The problem for us is currently he would still walk in and be a mainstay in our team which is down to poor planning and poor investment by Ross Wilson.I really like Leon Balogun but he's taking on the Thomas Buffel mantle of getting higher praise the longer he doesn't play for us.
He was an alright defender, that's it.
Yes, I watched it why would I not I've never missed watching a Rangers game in as long as I can remember.
I did not think he did any better than the average run-of-the-mill defender.
I don't think he's a bad player but I do think he's quite an average player with decent techniqueHe had a very good game that day and performed well throughout the season. Another couple of standout performances were when they beat Celtic at Tyncastle and also when Scotland beat Denmark. He's shown he's a very good player when fit. I certainly wouldn't be writing him off as a dud this early into his Rangers career.

What is your end game here I have told you I watched the game and I gave my opinion on the player not your opinion of the player as they obviously differ?You said "Seriously, I didn't even think he had a good game against us."
If you genuinely believe that and weren't jut chucking out a soundbite then you could not have watched the Cup Final.
I'm not trying to achieve anything. Of course we are all entitled to different opinions but to suggest Souttar didn't have a good game in the cup final is somewhat churlish.What is your end game here I have told you I watched the game and I gave my opinion on the player not your opinion of the player as they obviously differ?
What is it you are trying to achieve?
Do you want me to lie about the player or can you just not accept people watching a game can form different opinions about players?
Good at least now you accept that instead of questioning whether I watched the game because our opinions differ.I'm not trying to achieve anything. Of course we are all entitled to different opinions but to suggest Souttar didn't have a good game in the cup final is somewhat churlish.
Agree 100% brother. Balogun always seemed like a terrific character, well respected and a leader. He was definitely worth another year imoSometimes it's not even what a player does on the field. Balogun was popular in the dressing room. I wonder how messing him around in the summer and then eventually letting him go was received amongst his friends in the dressing room especially if Gio was seen as the one pushing him out the door.
He was indeedI thought he was offered another year but wanted a two year deal?
He was offered one, turned it downIn hindsight he should have been given another year
He was indeed
He was offered one, turned it down

His agent was sounded out and they advised he wanted 2 years, hence no offer was madeSee above. He confirms in the podcast thay no offer was made by Rangers.

Guy is an absolute gentlemen. My wee sister wanted a picture with him, not only did he do that but he arranged for a photo signed to be sent to her. She was over the moon. We should have kept him another year though, not because of the photo, but because defensively we have needed him.Really enjoy listening to big Leon.

Reckon that one was on GVB Bear.Letting him and Katic go was another masterstroke by Ross Wilson.
Where has this come from?
Interesting. The big man made it sound like he was desperate to stay and the club (well, Gio) just dingied him.I think it's been mentioned on heart and hand.

Ross Wilson does not sign players he stated that at the AGM.If you listen to the interview, it was Gio who wanted rid of him. Wilson actually tried to convince Gio to keep him for another season.
