Ryan Kent

[Mustang mad]

A guy in my work has a mate that supposedly works at Auchenhowie, I know, I know. Anyway his info is that Kent was willing to sign a new contract but not if GVB was manager.

Please note I'm only passing on what I heard and not saying this is gospel.

As much as i have criticised kent this year,if his problem was with Gio, then thats good news. if we could get him back in the mood he can be a game winner for us. Even get a good final 6 months out him, win both cups and he could go with our thanks.

Think about it though.
How would a guy that works in Auchehowie know this?

 

[sami_rfc]

Unlike what some posters have said about Kent I don't think he has given up, I just think he is not as good as we thought he was.

 

[punksnotdead]

I'd imagine, like most workplaces, there will be a lot of gossip and rumours flying about. There might be something to it but it's probably bullshit. As we're on a Rangers message board talking about Kent I thought I'd share what I heard.

Bye bye Ryan your 30k per week will be spent better elsewhere on guys who can score goals and actually care

 

[The Doctor]

I haven't read the full thread, so apologies if this has been mentioned before.
Seeing as it's almost exactly a year since Ryan Kent was told: “Keep it simple, tricks are for the circus,” I thought it might be pertinent at this time to revisit that quote.
In my opinion all RK's form issues can be traced back to that sleight by Roy McKaay. That might have been enough for him to spit the dummy I reckon.

If that is the case then he needs to work on his mental strength. One comment should not cause this kind of dip.
Having said that, someone who fully believes in you can make you so much better, so hopefully we see the best of him in the coming months.

He’s not even on half that lol.

 

[mathers1]

He’s not even on half that lol.

As if that makes it acceptable

I’d expect & probably get more output from someone on 5-8k a week, and he’s definitely on more than that.

 

[Staff Jr]

I hope Kent gets a new deal, Alfie feels like a different situation at the moment

 

[Scotia]

1 goal in 2022 but it's everyone else's fault.

Totally agree with you mate?

I have not missed a game this year!
So, I don't know what and when all this action took place,
Via kent that is mentioned in this thread?

I must have been asleep or some of the punters,
In this thread, we're wishing and dreaming???

As they say! It never happened on my watch?

Id like to think Beale would tell Kent to go and play fearlessly and hopefully we get the arrogance and swagger back with him.

 

[UnionBear]

More than happy for Kent to leave.

 

[Bromp Carlisle]

I remember when Gio had just taken over and videos of training were coming out there was one where they told Kent "tricks are for the circus". Never felt they'd get the best out of him after that.

Cutting out his main attacking threat/attribute can cause this kind of dip.

Mental strength. Jesus christ.

A professional footballer should not be that effected by one comment. Jesus christ.

 

[BigDadosBandage.]

He will 100% be affected by playing in a poor system, with a left back who plays in a way that it makes it easy for teams to double up on him and at times point blank refuses to play the ball forward quickly.

 

[Brizblue]

if Kent is to leave, lets see if MB can get the best out of him till end of season

 

[SuperAlly1990]

Why have you made up that he's on 30k?

 

[Crispy Bacon]

What you even talking about.

His main threat is his trickery

He’s told not to do tricks

But his form dip is because someone said something about the circus or something.

Mental strength gies peace.

 

[sinaiger]

Danny Murphy is absolutely dreadful

You trying to drive Ryan out with slights on former Liverpool heroes?

 

[Caldow3]

I can't help thinking enough has been said about Ryan Kent, it's upto him now to shut us all up.

 

[sinaiger]

ooooops

 

[chrissyp84]

Balls is he on less than 15k. He cost us 7 odd million he will be a high earner

 

[steve84]

Ryan Kent has been poor in the final phase his whole time. ( shots, falling over, running into players) but Borna is a negative slow thinking full back so nothing happens quickly for Kent ever as Borna looks backwards first at almost every opportunity. Although Borna has been our best player this season I’ll be told, lowest Bar Iv seen in years that people hold onto this.

Ryan Kent is up there with Nicky Law as a hide n seek champion.

Maddest sentence I’ve read on hear in a while.

 

[ronadamus_prime]

I remember folk lapping up Makaay's 'circus' comments to Kent at the time. Which was utterly bewildering to me. Why would you actively aim to stifle a player like Ryan Kent from being expressive!? Makes very little sense.

For me the issue was Kent's position under Gio. Don't think it was a coincidence he played his best football in Europe last season, were he was deployed more centrally. Domestically he was stuck hugging the touchline, usually with two men, man marking him out of a game.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

I really like kent. I hope he signs a new deal. Like those who moan about goldson, they wont know what they had til its gone.

I understand the goal’s domestically etc. But, he occupies and creates space and has been incredible in Europe for us. That run to seville, he was invaluable

 

[bearspaw]

Just maybe it want the only comment, just the one we saw

 

[Boldvale]

Of course he will be affected, his coaches are telling him to cut out a huge part of his game.

 

[Russell]

Anyone giving RK big grief didn’t watch our Europa League run last year when Kent was unplayable in fair few games.

Granted…domestically he has flattered to deceive but he was doubled up on by opposition & wasn’t giving the licence to roam like he did for 55.

I’m hoping Beale can get him back to his best with more consistency. I think Ryan Kent could & should be a 20+ goal a season man.

 

[ThreestripeS]

More than happy for Kent to leave.

So you've said

 

[ThreestripeS]

Bookmarked for when he signs his new contract

He must have the mindset of an infant if that's the case then. Not even my 4 year old would go in a mood over that never mind a grown man

 

[ElBufalo72]

I'm curious if and how we play him and Yilmaz together once the latter's back. Yilmaz looks to love coming inside as a full-back while Kent's best stuff comes centrally. You're going really narrow leaving nobody on that left flank in that case.

 

[John MacKenzie]

Getting Ridvan back into team would benefit Kent as in his short cameos he made quite a few defence splitting passes and they were on the deck.

He can't score. Cheerio in my opinion.

Which in turn has the knock on effect that Borna can't play the ball forward to him without losing possession, so he has no choice but to recycle it back the way to jeers and boos.

This is absolute made up in your head fantasy.

Whenever Borna has the ball, you always without fail see him looking forward for options. All too often there is nothing, due to the static nature of our fwd line

 

[Bigbluebear]

Kent is at his best when he has players close to him for quick link up play.

I expect him to flourish again under Beale.

Completely agree with your last paragraph.

I've never had any issue with Kent in the vast majority of games in Europe. In a large number he has been one of our key men.

My issue is with his domestic form. He has scored 26 goals in 140 league and domestic cup games. Nowhere near enough for a 7m player imo. I know his assist stats are much more favourable but he simply hasn't scored enough domestically for us. That's my issue with him.

 

[Otto Bear]

I don’t think it’s much of a secret but a mate met Nathan Paterson in the airport lounge. He said the players weren’t on board with GVB and the Dutch coaching team. Said they were arrogant.

 

[FFGR1972]

I would still class Kent as our best player personally, by a fair distance.

Even domestically last season he was the one who made the most telling contributions the most often and generally pulled us out the shit the most often

Clearly he can give more this season, but that is applicable across the board, the football we play has done our players no favors domestically for a long, long time.

 

[Brother Moses]

He was obviously told to stay out wide by Gio and his mob.

Let us wait and see Kent playing more inside as one of the 10s under MB.

This kid will shine again!

 

[Diego Maradona]

I expect him to leave Under Beale

 

[6Counties]

4goals in 68 games and posters want him
kept?

Blame Gio all you want but Kent’s inability to score started long before Gio.
