1320Lichtie Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Saying that heard Bates doesn't want L2, so might not be Bates to us Raith happy to let him go on loan though I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Bates sprung to mind as the obvious candidate, tbh. A "forward-thinking player" coming in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Jordan Thomson joins on loan from Rangers until January.David Bates heads in the opposite direction though, he joins Rangers on loan until January to link up with their development team. Weird one but an incredible opportunity for Batesy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Ross Laidlaw to Hibs and David Bates to Rangers. What a weird world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I suppose it makes sense to an extent bates going there rather than playing with out reserve team. Gives him a chance to impress at ibrox and if he doesn't he should hopefully come back a better player learning off the likes of weir. He would have been better going out to l1 and playing competitive games every week though. Martin we struggled to break down Alloa so the more the better! Hopefully it will see us move away from the 442 as it just won't work for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Can't believe Bates chose Rangers under 20s over us. After seeing Darren Ramsey and Julien Ogen recently I imagine hell look like beckenbauer in that league. Horrendous move IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Fair enough, well I didn't expect another new signing, albeit at the expense of the excellent David Bates. Not sure what it'll mean in the long term. But it adds another option to our midfield, which while containing significant numbers lacked creativity in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the guys billed as "attacking midfielders" so far have been played out wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Also, he's left footed and can play at left back if required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'd have kept Bates. He looked the part last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Batesy's attitude is a lot better than Bryce's. Bryce did that to himself.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Bryce's lack of footballing ability cost him a lot more than his attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
