Why dont you take Scott Allan then and have him all to yourself.I'd take Scott Allan, I know it's not popular on here but if it worked out for 55....
Are you havin’ a giraffe?According to Football Stewart on patreon... Reckons one player will come in but no idea who.
I have, and in my opinion our midfield didn't have a player who unlocks stubborn defences. Stewart can be that player but I also think Allan can be as well. If Gerrard thought Allan could be better than Stewart then I'm for it it. I do t care about the past, 55 is all that matters so I'd be for it if it happened.
You’ll still be here for the upcoming Harry Forrester thread, admit it!Kenny Miller now Windass !
see you guys after full time tomorrow
Very true, my opinion is based on the fact he has talent and if the unlikely happened Gerrard would sort that side of his game out to the benefit of the team. I'd also like to think from an attitude perspective he would see this as the chance he shouldn't have and bust a gut to make it up to us for 1. Not holding out to sign for us and 2. Acting like an idiot when playing against us for Hibs.The problem with Allan for me, apart from the obvious, is when our team are out of possession, they work like %^*& to win the ball back as quickly as possible and show remarkable levels of fitness.
Allan simply doesn't have that level of attitude or fitness.
If you remember the pre Xmas game at Easter Rd, he couldn't get near our midfield mate and looked totally out his depth, resulting in him being substituted early in the 2nd half.
There's a reason he's playing for a mid table team.

Just my opinion which I know isn't popular so to the other poster calling me a 'dafty' give it a rest eh.

Usually I'd agree on this basis but I liked him as a player before and still do. Id accept anything to get 55 and support Gerrard 100% so if he did go for him then I'd be for it. 55 is all that matters not what's happened before.Imo that wee c*nt should be no where near our club. He's burnt his bridges
I agree with you Boab. Work-rate is just assumed under Gerrard so IF he was interested he must think he can get him to do that side of the game. Allen is a tidy player who is too good for Hibs and Davis isn't going to be around forever.
If he arrived, admitted he made a mistake years ago and got his head down he could be a very good player for us. You'd think there would be no-one more desperate to show them what he can do.
Windass, when on form, would flourish in one of those twin No 10 positions we have. But he's also got a huge ego and it's extremely worrying that A) Wigan would let him go so easily and B) his value has actually decreased.
With both it's a case of in Gerrard we trust.
Davis is in far better physical shape than Allan mate and has played at the highest level.
Allan is no promising youngster (28 I think) and has peaked at a mid table SPL club.
He couldn't get close to a game for an nferior Celtic midfield, so he won't be getting close to our's.
As I said previously, Windass had an excellent goalscoring and assists record for us, (even more impressive because we were shite) but there were huge attitude problems and attitude is a major issue with Gerrard.
I just can't see it happening.
It may be semantics, but that isn’t quite the recollection I have. My recollection (I may be wrong) is that Windass was a bit surprised and disappointed that Gerrard accepted an offer for him. Yes he was theoretically given a “choice” but when your manager comes to you and says he has accepted an offer and you are now free to talk to the other club, I am not sure how real the “choice” is. The writing is on the wall for you at that point.Even someone as daft as him must realise now he made the biggest mistake of his life choosing to leave.
Gerrard and the coaching staff rated him he wasn't forced out the door he was given the choice. The coaching he would've received could've helped reach his potential.
And when the going got tough Windass got going. Sadly more often than not in the opposite direction needed.When it comes to Rangers they all count
The board accepted the offer.It may be semantics, but that isn’t quite the recollection I have.

He interchanged well with Tav and doubled back to cover for him when required. Has a better engine than most in the team.The candy man was never good enough.
I don’t want to argue with you and it isn’t a big deal either way. But I don’t believe the board accepted an offer without Gerrard’s backing. If Gerrard had felt strongly about wanting Windass to stay then I am pretty sure all he needed to do was say that to the board and Windass would have stayed. The board and Gerrard seem to operate hand in glove and I don’t think Gerrard has had anything other than 100% backing in all his transfer dealings.The board accepted the offer.
Stewart and Jones still to prove themselves and Polster has never been given a real chance. Time for Halliday (sadly), Flanagan, Barker and Ojo to go.Is Halliday , Polster , Flanagan , Stewart , Ojo or Jones really Rangers quality ? Sometimes you need to accept we can’t attract the players we used to.
The board accepted it.He was had a meeting with Gerrard told the board accepted it but was up to him.He was in squad for game that night.I don’t want to argue with you and it isn’t a big deal either way.

No. A large number are the same ones that wanted Morelos punted for peanuts and Windass retained.Surely the posters saying yes to this are trolling?
You missed Pena then?laziest lady's front bottom ive seen pull on a blue jersey
