Have to agree its unlikely to happen now. Looked great when he was on loan at Barnsley afew seasons ago, especially against us. (we have a habit of picking up players who play well against us Cooper, White)
With Poveda, Alioski & dallas if needed, waiting in the wings i hope the club would focus on a striker and CB first.

Re: Ryan Kent
Saw that too. I wanted to see how Roofe got on.YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 2:11 pm Saw him play for Rangers the other day, my thoughts were 'Meh!'
Livingston had parked a 40 toone truck in front of their goal.
Bad game to judge him on.

Re: Ryan Kent
Just been on the Rangers Bears Den forum. Seems the news hasn't found its way up there yet.

Re: Ryan Kent
To be honest that is probably the best kind of game to judge him on because in signing him we'd presumably be looking at him as someone who could unlock a defence with a moment of skill, even, or especially, if it was a parked bus defence. What use would he have been to us last year against parked bus championship defences if he can't prise an opening against Livingston?

None, but Costa, at twice the price of Kent, Harrison, who we have such confidence in we would rather not purchase and Bamford all failed repeatedly against the same tactic.
Watch Kent play in the Europa League and you might be surpised to see there is a decent footballer in there.

Re: Ryan Kent
I don’t really understand why, having seen Bielsa transform fairly average players into champions, everyone is so ready to write Kent off as the player they currently watch at Rangers or a have watched in the Championship in the past.
Bear in mind, the likes of Kent and Wilson were always regarded as having more potential than 90% of their peers - who knows what Marcelo can turn them into.
Maybe he sees something we don’t?

Think you have misunderstood the point I was making in that would Kent have been able to unlock the defences that Harrison, Costa PB, etc couldn't last season?Irish Ian wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 9:04 pm What use last season?

Not really seen anything of Kent to know whether he would be able to but if he can't unlock Livingston would he be able to unlock premiership defences?
Very hard to judge him as the standard of opposition, even most of the time in the Europa League, is dire.

Well Bielsa likes him and seemed unconcerned about your fears, despite probably watching the game on Sunday and knowing a hell of a lot more that we will ever do.
But you are safe, Kent doesnt want to come, he prefers another chance at gubbing Scott Brown. Dont blame him.

MB's list of targets, ranging from the ambitious and exciting to the meh could do a job.
Kent feels like the 4th or 5th choice.

Re: Ryan Kent
Yes it does have that sort of feel. I wonder who apart from the kiddies already signed, will come in.
Hopefully the White saga will resolve itself soon.

Re: Ryan Kent
Seems to have stepped it up this season for Rangers.
Goal and an assist today.
Favourite for the Scottish Premier league player of the year.
Bit unsure about signing players from Scotland but get rid of Costa and Roberts bring in Kent and someone else?

Re: Ryan Kent
He was Scottish Young player of the year the season begore last iirc. He was very good in the European games. He plays the wide N10 role. Not good enough for our forumites but Bielsa wanted him
Rangers paid 7.5M for him and wouldn't let us have him last summer.
He would be silly to leave Rangers yet, he is their highest paid player and Rangers are on the cusp of doing something.

Re: Ryan Kent
The Scottish league now is a million miles from where it was prior to English clubs being readmitted to European competitions.
Re: Ryan Kent
I would take him, but only at the right price. £15m I reckon would be a fair price and anything above that would be too much imo.
