Bearman Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 A wee rumour has broken on Rangers forum https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/andy-king-on-loan.85673/ about Andy King a done deal to Rangers on loan, he’s in Manchester having a medical now. No-one is sure if it's rubbish or not as the poster just joined today and this is his only post. Anyone here heard anything?

All stealing a wage from the club and not fit for purpose in the Premier League. I wouldn't mind seeing them all leave, use some of the wages to get Sturridge who is available on a free. Sturridge can't be any worse than Slimani or Iheanacho... Maybe even Llorente, also a free agent. You really don't get it.

Gillies Apprentice Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Another League winners medal to add to his collection too !
MPH Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 that’s a cracking move for him. richly deserved to. he’ll score a fair few i’m sure.
Ric Flair Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 Mustard for Kingy that is, buzzing for him. Go and complete the hatchet job on Sutton and Hartson.

FLAN Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 I’m thinking king won’t suit that league at all. A lot of hustle and bustle and he is way too pedestrian for that.

If he can handle the EPL he'll have no problems playing in the SPFL, Defoe has had 11 starts and scored 11 goals, easy peasy.

It’s not as black and white as that tbh, as poor as the general standard of our league is plenty of ageing EPL players have come up and really struggled. Joey Barton for example who got ran out of town he was so poor and went back down south and done well for Burnley in the EPL thereafter. As an aside I’ll be interested as to where King fits in at Rangers as they already well stocked with central midfielders.

I imagine he will play in the hole behind the strikers in their 4231 formation. Ojo has been playing there but hes more suited out wide. I think he'll do very well. He won't be asked to track back in too many matches and he is an expert at arriving late in the box without being picked up by defenders.

It’s more of a 4-3-3 they play which was why I’m curious to see where he fits in as he’s a number 10 type almost King is that right and they don’t really play with a central player in that role. Also Ojo has been playing wide for them not centrally.
FLAN Posted 14 August 2019 Posted 14 August 2019 His finishing ability is massively over talked by some city fans. Could be wrong but I doubt he will make much of an impression up there

Hopefully he'll find his touch again if he gets regular game time. Good luck to him, about time he moved on for his own sake.

Bearman Posted 15 August 2019 Posted 15 August 2019 The Rangers fans are absolutely thrilled about Andy joining the club and have no doubt he'll be a brilliant addition to the squad in our quest for #55. Can't wait to see him wearing the Rangers Blue.

I think the trouble with Barton is that he got far too wound up with the him vs Scott Brown thing and it affected his game. He didn't really do that much when he came back to Burnley though to be fair.
