DrewDon Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 3 minutes ago, The_Kincardine said: He will certainly improve us over last season. What's your take re. his fitness? He missed about four months last season after picking up a knee injury at Reading. He had a couple of minor issues at the start of it too, IIRC. If he can stay fit and there is no big recurrence of those problems, however, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be Rangers' most successful summer signing. I rate him. His reading of the game is impressive, his distribution is generally good, he can retain the ball, link the team and he carries a goal threat from midfield. I last watched him for Norwich at the end of last season against Brighton (the game after they had been promoted to the Premier League), and I thought he was arguably the best player on the pitch. I'm a bit surprised Norwich didn't make more of an effort to keep him for another season or two, but if he wasn't fully settled down there and Norwich are going through a rebuilding process then it perhaps makes more sense to offload him at this juncture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Don I read the Old Firm threads regularly just to laugh at the bile and hatred the fans of the respective clubs have for each other. Tonight though you have posted not 1 but 2 really sensible and well articulated posts. Well done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is that our fans see him as a bit of a mid-field enforcer. Someone to put a bit of stick about. I think they are wrong - having watched him playing for Scotland. In his pomp he's ore cultured than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are wrong - having watched him playing for Scotland. In his pomp he's ore cultured than that. On paper, a really good signing for the club and a year too late imo. The sort of player The Rangers should have been after in the first place in the Premiership. If he can be a leader in the midfield then The Rangers have got themselves a potential player that should improve the quality in the middle of the park. Downside, apparently injury prone in his latter years and will he fit into Pedro's tactics and philosophy or will Pedro waste his talent playing him in positions and tactics not suited to his playing style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, although there can be an aggressive side to his game, I wouldn't describe him as an enforcer. Having watched Jack for several seasons, he might be a suitable partner for Dorrans in most Premiership games, especially if opposition teams are content to give Rangers' midfield time on the ball. Jack's tackling can be a bit of a mixed bag too, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Always thought Dorrans was a great no10 and was wasted in a deeper role. I actually had high hopes for him for Scotland as a youngster, he was the championship player of the season at 21 iirc. Looked like he had the potential to go all the way at that time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
