RuffRob Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 51 minutes ago, Bailey said: Looking at Transfermarkt neither player has played as a wing back for their club. Patterson played 20 odd minutes as a Right Mid but I imagine that was to shore up the defence than for his attacking capabilities. That just what I have been reading in the media, but will confess not watched either of them play. I though Rangers played 5 at the back when Gerrard was in charge, but dont hold me to that.

Palfy Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 1 hour ago, RuffRob said: I wonder if todays 3 at the back is going to become a more familiar set up with it looking like we will very shortly have two young lads who are both maybe more familiar playing as wingbacks as they are a conventional backs. This would make sence in helping both them bed in to a new team. I hope not when we play 3 at the back no one takes responsibility and they all seem to switch off hoping someone else will sort the danger out.

These types should have already been well embedded in to this squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question as I’ve not got the foggiest and don’t want to see us bringing players in to do that. Not according to the website quoted. I think the Ukraine play with wingbacks but he has barely played for them either. 10 hours ago, RuffRob said: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/how-nathan-pattersons-rangers-credentials-23592518.amp This is the article made me beleive Patterson played wingback role at Rangers last year under Gerrard.

msloan78 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Would it be cynical to say we've already sold Digne and that's why he's not been playing. Mykolenko and Patterson are quite close to what we would expect to get for him terms of transfer fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gers fan Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi guys Joined to see what you are saying about this young lad and to give you an insight from a rangers fan. There is no doubt young Nathan is a star in waiting has been talked about for a few years and came thru the academy at the same time as Billy Gilmour (chelski/norwich) He is a good raw player who has his faults but needs games at a higher level to progress he is fast and determined and a real trier many rangers fans expect him to progress rapidly with regular games and exposure to a better standard of opponent also if you like better or different coaching! He is pretty much nails down the Scotland nation team slot now which is a sign of his undoubted talent . He likes to attack and is not scared to shoot does not seem to tire easily. Many like me would like to keep him but he can't displace our captain JT who by any standard has been an incredible player for us in the last 2 years and is not looking like his decline is anyway near yet. So what with our losses last year £23 million and the requirement that wee need 8 million noted in December's accounts to finish season this deal makes a lot of sense for the club . Everton are buying a rough diamond if you can polish him he will earn the club a big fee going forward . I think if he settles in and gets a good confidence giving start over the next few months next year you will all be talking about him We all wish him well as most rangers fans do for you guys we have many fans who have a soft spot for the toffees over the mob across the road from you . Good luck for the rest of the season . Sibdane, Isaiah, Gwlad and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear you speak so highly of him, unlike yourselves our current RB Coleman who has been a great servant to the club but is coming to the end of his career, and we need a young talent with passion to come in and carry on from where he leaves off sounds like we have the right man in Patterson.

Bailey Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 I definitely see the rough diamond although I haven't seen the same pace. I suspect he will be around average for the league in that position. We bought a very rough diamond in that position a few years ago and that worked out OK albeit he needed more first team experience before he was ready. It will be interesting to see how that goes for him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gers fan Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Was talking to one of our own today who is gutted to see him leave he reckons his temperament is as good as it gets plus his good pal Gilmour has has a rough ride going to the big smoke will make him appreciate how hard it is compared to the spl which I am sure he will know already . The bouns for him in this move his family are not that far away if he feels unsettled etc but as said its thought he will take it in his stride. Be interested to see if he bulks up anymore now as he definitely looked a bit lightweight at times despite certainly putting some muscle tone on the last 18 months not as lanky looking as he is 6ft 2 tall .

No because SG is in a position where he probably has money to spend on a better level of player than the young man is at the moment. The most promising 2 players at Rangers I would be worried about SG taking are Joe Aribo and Glen Kamara Also over last year when both NP and JT were fit he always picked JT There is no doubt however SG and his coaches pushed the young lad on to where he is today.
