Sadiq Umar

[KGR98]

It's not a signing thread so don't panic but he has been on top form for Partizan Belgrade a club with very demanding fans who aren't shy in letting you know what they think but 16 goals and 11 assists he only started the league cup semi against Aberdeen should he have been given more time until the end of last season rather than cutting his deal short ?

 

[Stevie]

Nope. Donkey

 

[Brian Laudrup]

He was shit and didnt want to be here,a disaster of a signing all round

 

[Barrymoped]

Absolutely not. He was honking

 

[Gio 8]

He cut his own spell short with that dive against the sheep.

 

[Bigbluebear]

He didnt apply himself properly for us.

 

[KGR98]

Nope. Donkey

16 goals and 11 assists this season would suggest he has something about him at least

 

[Ruben Sosa]

Didn't seem to understand the offside rule.

 

[Joebones]

I watched him for Partizan in one of the Euro games where he scored two goals and fair play he put them away well. Rest of the game he still looked like a baby giraffe on an ice rink.

 

[HenningBerg]

Wasn’t as bad a player as people think , but had a lazy attitude including being late for training nearly every single day , didn’t want to be here . If he screws the nut he could be a useful handful up front at a team like partisan .

 

[Stevie]

Diving to try earn a penalty when all he has to do is shoot suggests hes a gutless donkey with no capablity of handling the weight of the shirt.

 

[TheStandardBearer]

As much as all the keyboard football gurus on here will brandish him shite etc because of a couple of mistakes the truth be told he was never given a consistent run to truly show us what he’s capable of.

Clearly got something about him considering his performances this year and the fact he’s still employed by Roma. Has seen a hell of a lot more first team football than a lot of other 22 year olds too in a number of countries. All the best to him.

 

[Viatrophy]

Haha I was going to post something about him yesterday as I was checking his stats for Partizan, but I figured I already knew the reaction of most people. But it is a funny old world, he must be doing something right this season.

 

[Necro]

He should have never been signed in the first place but once he was in the door he should have been given more opportunities.

 

[GF7]

When Gerrard was asked what sadiq had to improve on to get in the team, he answered everything. Sums it up for me

I feel there will be a similar thread on sheyi Ojo next season. Banging them in somewhere for a team with a tonne of assists

 

[Monty_greenock34]

He wasn't suited to our league and as ojo is experiencing a loan signing pretty much needs to hit ground running or it'll be very hard to come back from, loan signings don't have the luxury of being allowed a great deal of time to settle in given the short time they are here.

 

[Clay Davis]

Remember him coming on against Livingston (I think) not long after he signed and he looked like he’d never played football in his life.

Partizan and that league are probably shite

 

[Greig]

I’ll never forget that horrific semi final performance against the sheep , so out of his depth .

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

He’s useless. Found his level!

 

[Oduwa]

Arguably better league than here.

 

[Eddie Doc]

Heid was too wee for his body.

 

[The Hooded Claw]

Maybe his time with us made him realise he had to apply himself more and work harder

 

[55 and counting]

Maybe the kick up the arse at us has made him apply himself.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Never really got a chance, doing well in a better league.

 

[Monster]

Didn't want to be here. Didn't matter if he got a decent run in the side or not really.

 

[Main Stand]

held up the ball well against aberdeen , played generally alright. dive was ridiculous tho and had a poor attitude , weirdly was going to start a thread on this earlier , stats are actually better than OP says , he has 16 in the league and 4 in europa groups

 

[CumbrianBear]

Come on lads remember some of the worlds best strikers don’t score goals

 

[dunn1872]

Kilmarnock away. He came on for the last 15 minutes. Was caught offside by 3 yards at least 4 times in the space of 5-10 minutes. Genuinely looked like the first game of football he'd played in his life.

 

[Gary]

16 goals and 11 assists this season would suggest he has something about him at least

By that logic, we should have resigned Sebo. Sadiq was honking.

 

[Tagsbear]

Is it a better league? Red Star did well getting to the Champions league but they got humped when they got there, other than them no other side did anything in Europe,

 

[WinkieWATP]

Played like he had put his boots on the wrong feet.

 

[Main Stand]

Is it a better league? Red Star did well getting to the Champions league but they got bumped when they got there, other than them no other side did anything in Europe,

TBF partizan got 8 points in the europa groups , and sadiq scored 4 in the groups

 

[bud_light]

I'll just make do with having Defoe as his replacement

 

[Tony75tfc]

Anytime i saw him play for us it looked like he had won a raffle to get a game he was awful

 

[si72]

All he had to do was stick the ball past the keeper but he decided to be Tom Daley and make a c unt of himself and us.He,s a f ucking nobody and his name should never ever be mentioned in the same sentence as Rangers.

 

[Ger572]

Absolute fucking donkey

 

[Peter Venkman]

 

[Kirbys House]

Given a sustained run as in you'd have dropped Alfie to accommodate him?

Nah you're alrite.

 

[Hehaw]

Maybe just maybe he went back to Roma and realised what an opportunity he had here under Gerrard and decided that he would apply himself better in his next loan spell.

 

[cooprfc]

He was useful for the manager in that he was an easy situation for him to use to make a point of the standards required and if you don't meet them then you're out.

 

[Gallant_Few]

Playing for Rangers always has and always will take a different breed of player.

Umar Sadiq did not have the minerals.

All the best to him?

He said he didn’t care about us after he left, so the feeling is mutual as far as I’m concerned

 

[Bob Belcher]

For his second goal on Thursday he did exactly what he should have done against Aberdeen; rounded the keeper and rolled the ball into an empty net. So fucking frustrating.

 

[D-Von]

Was decent on Love Island

 

[nemessis]

Was more of a sprinter and fan dancer (except he danced around the ball rather than with it ) than a football player it was embarrassing to watch him, he needed his brain re programmed or something to develop into a football player.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Never really got a chance, doing well in a better league.

He never got a chance because he treated our club with utter contempt.

 

[govantrueblue]

Wish the guy well. However what he does in another Jersey is irrelevant, he wash gash in ours.

 

[Steviegee55]

Saw highlights of a game earlier in the season and he looked very decent. Has had a great season and must have something about him to have played for Roma rangers and partizan. But hes definitely not a rangers player. And it doesn't matter if he goes on to score 40 goals this season, it was the right decision to get rid of him

 

[Empire]

He definitely wasn’t as bad as is being made out.

His issue was he didn’t bother his arse in training or reach the high levels in training Gerrard set.

See the Aberdeen game at Hampden, he looked a very intelligent player up until the dive. His running off the ball and over the shoulder of their centre backs was really good but unfortunately the team at that moment in the season was finding it hard to break defences down and creativity wasn’t the best.

He’s a decent player but just wasn’t suited to us.

He was caught a mile offside about 10 times in the first half alone of that game.

He just ran in a straight line. Probably the least intelligent movement I’ve ever seen for us
