Listen I really like Barron but many on here are going well over the top of how good he is right now, let's see what happens when he has a few bad games, Raskin is a just a better footballer than him right now and better at a similar age.
22 Nov 2024 13:04:00
Don't think when he was signed was ever expected to be a mainstay of our team so think he's been brilliant signing so far. And now Raskin is fit again and back on form got a good partnership working there.
22 Nov 2024 13:12:43
Definitely not the finished article yet mate but i wish more of our squad had his determination and drive. Raskins problem has always been injuries. Been impressed with him recently though.
22 Nov 2024 13:15:52
Nobody is going over the top, he has been our best player since the season started, playing out of position, some would argue. He has carried or midfield when playing alongside guys like Diomande and Lawrence who disappear for long periods of the game. Raskin may be a better player but its only now he is showing it after his injuries and whatever else was going on in his head.
Raskin and Barron have looked good as a pair if they can stay fit they may be the combination that we can build the rest of the team round.
22 Nov 2024 13:25:54
Barron isn't technically great, but works harder than most and can comfortably play (in the SPL) across a number of positions.
Raskin is as technically gifted as anyone else at the club and has tonnes of potential.
22 Nov 2024 13:52:23
I like Barron, too, but you are correct (first time for everything mate ?), he isn't as good as some make out on here, and nowhere near as good as Raskin.
22 Nov 2024 13:55:43
It’s because he tries and that can’t be said for most unfortunately.
22 Nov 2024 13:59:25
My star I think its a case of Conner and Nico showing heart with the badge on. Which is not being shown by at least seven of the eleven players mate.
22 Nov 2024 14:14:11
Wslgers many were going well over the top, as said i really like Barron and we need dig like his but Raskin will have a far better career baring injuries and our best player this season is Soutter in my eyes.
22 Nov 2024 14:22:29
The issue we have atm in that position is if Raskin and Barron are fit then they play regardless of form because we don’t have anyone else. We need another 2 players in there competing and pushing these lads on.
That said it’s not the main priority going into January. We still need a new front 3 that’s better than what we have.
Bajrami, I like but not a winger. Cerny, only a loan deal that I wouldn’t make permanent - far too predictable. And Dessers, well we all know.
We also need a dominant LCB to partner Souttar.
22 Nov 2024 14:22:37
That's a fair point guys! If we had 11 players on the pitch with as much drive, commitment and passion as Barron, we'd be in a much healthier position than where we are right now.
22 Nov 2024 14:30:56
And I thought we didn’t like being negative about our players
Both are playing well why can’t it be left at that and pray it continues
why we pitting each of them up against each other.
22 Nov 2024 14:39:54
Who is being negative Stingo? I'm only pointing out the truth in my opinion.
22 Nov 2024 14:40:43
Zikos when a cm is signed Barron will spend much more time of the sidelines than Raskin.
22 Nov 2024 16:00:50
Something about the boy I really like.
22 Nov 2024 16:17:32
It’s not often I agree with Mystar but he is right on the Barron one said it for a while now vastly overrated by some fans and I am not saying he doesn’t do a god job just some go overboard.
22 Nov 2024 18:09:17
Storm, considering his age I think he's done well.
22 Nov 2024 18:09:29
Tremendous young player and gives 100% on the pitch. Works for me. More concerned with our shortcomings in defence and up front. A good job no player reads forums like these.
22 Nov 2024 19:01:55
Barron reminds me of Gattuso but better.
22 Nov 2024 19:12:04
Barron reminds you of Gattuso but he better???you are seriously having a good old laugh here Tjbb56 well I just hope you are mate.
22 Nov 2024 19:27:17
This is typical of us, Barron comes in and has a reasonable good first three or four months and we praise him to the high heavens. Then for the next few months he continues as he has started but more and more of us start pointing out little flaws in his play . As the season goes into the last quarter and it absolutely clear we aren’t winning anything the knives sharpen and all of a sudden he’s no better than the rest and some of us want rid of him .
We start over praising the new player, then we settle down with opinion divided before we decide he isn’t Rangers class.
How often is this the script for a new player.
22 Nov 2024 19:29:37
My star stop trying to sell your opinion as the only opinion that matters and everyone else that thinks differently must not know anything about football.
Barron has shown more in his short spell here than Raskin has in 18months. I'll be amazed at anybody arguing that.
Does that mean I think Barron is a world beater. no
Does that mean I think raskin is useless. no
It means I think one is ahead of the other, that's it nothing over the top, you're the one making statements like Raskin is by far the better player and Barron will be on the bench out of the 2 in the future, I hope both kick on and perform for our club.
Heaven forbid anybody disagree with your by far and away superior football knowledge and opinions.
Anyway Rangers 4-0 the morra.
22 Nov 2024 19:30:52
C'mon, of course he's taking the P!
22 Nov 2024 19:43:37
Mark am not saying he is a bad player at all just saying he ain’t as good as some think on social media you would think he is the 2nd coming of pirlo.
He is industrious that’s about it for me.
22 Nov 2024 20:09:17
Absolutely nowt wrong with praising young connor barron because the young fella deserves praise from our supporters from his start to his career with us, so far ?I think he'll go on to be a very good signing for us with his terrific attitude and willingness to continue to learn ??.
22 Nov 2024 20:14:25
GMW who is saying there's clueless here mate, if you think Barron is a better player than Raskin that is very cool mate but in my opinion he is not even remotely close man.
Hopefully he was sunshine.
22 Nov 2024 20:16:33
Hopefully he is sunshine but you get them on here.
22 Nov 2024 20:24:32
Sws he is already a great signing mate, I said before we signed him I like him and we need the dig he brings, all I'm saying is Raskin is a better footballer than him at present time or at a similar age and Raskin has never had the praise that Barron has had on here.
22 Nov 2024 20:39:29
Ibrox4me mark44 barron imo has been decent against most teams, but has went missing like most of our team, against celtic Aberdeen lyon killie we need our better players to stand up and be counted against these teams. There has to be a strong argument that most, if not all our team aren't playing well, as we are 9 points behind our 2 biggest rivals that have also both beaten us this season.
22 Nov 2024 20:47:56
Raskin has never had the praise because he had done nothing in the past 18 months to deserve praise, he done ok when he first came in not bad not great just ok.
He's been one of the better players since he's came back into the team and is now getting some praise and rightly so.
Just because one player didn't get praised doesn't mean we shouldn't be talking another up.
I've said my bit on it. Enjoy yer Friday night.
22 Nov 2024 21:10:34
Barron has been our most consistent player this season by a mile, he doesn`t just put the work in he has a terrific range of passing too. Whether he is better than Raskin is irrelevant, they are both our players and look like a good partnership who hopefully can keep Diomande on the bench.
Souttar has had a couple of good games but the only time he has played 3 good ones in a row have been for Scotland. Needs to cut out the lack of focus that crops up most games.
22 Nov 2024 21:14:41
Barron is better off the ball than Raskin and vice versa. I still maintain that Raskin will make us decent cash, technically much better than Barron.
