It's crazy that some fans want a striker that scores goals, dessers does that and we finally get a guy that can score 20+ a season and the fans say no not good enough. ?.
Igamane or Danilo don't score that amount of goals plain and simple. I had a poster saying today he doesn't get enough assists ?. The best goalscorer in the world right now is Haaland who doesn't get enough assists and what is worrying is that guy is working at Rangers.
17 May 2025 18:15:53
He has been tremendous for us. He's also a class act!
Well said mate ??????????.
17 May 2025 18:16:54
His all round play and decision making is awful.
Fair play to him getting 30 league goals in 2 seasons, but we need better from our main striker.
If he was in £10k p/ w I'm sure most fans would want to keep him as backup striker but on £30k that's not possible and ?we can replace him with better.
If not then we will be runners up next year as well.
17 May 2025 18:18:31
Lol, it's crazy that some folk want him to lead the line.
That's football for you!
17 May 2025 18:18:37
Gets paid too highly that is why I would sell.
17 May 2025 18:20:55
Correct Zikos. He will be sold and we will get a better all round striker ?.
17 May 2025 18:25:16
EHL I was slightly surprised to see your response but my sentiments exactly.
This summer iNK is going to have to be on the money with most/ all his targets. We need 1st team ready players like when we signed Arfield, Davis, Jack etc etc.
17 May 2025 18:32:59
Think his age and wage are the sticking points. If we can make a profit on him at 30, I'd have to say take it and reinvest. Love the big guys attitude and availability though, a few could learn from that.
17 May 2025 18:34:50
Zilos that's my concern. We shop in a market where we don't buy players fully ready to come in and contribute so unless that profile is changed we may need to accept next season as transitional.
17 May 2025 18:40:21
Bazbear, his availability is great.
His attitude?
Constantly falling over trying to get fouls, whining to the refs and laughing when he misses sitters…. nor for me.
Yes he does try, but that's not enough I'm afraid.
17 May 2025 18:43:40
If NK can get 50% of the signings on the money he'll be doing exceptionally well.
17 May 2025 18:44:44
He is not a league winning striker.
And it is beyond unfair to judge igamane who has spent the majority of the season out of position or not playing.
Dessers and danilo have to go.
But of course you don't like others having opinions.
17 May 2025 18:45:47
He also never seems to be injured.
We're not signing anyone that's getting those figures next season.
17 May 2025 18:55:52
If we get offers for Dessers I'm selling.
Is at his peak and value is only going to go down.
Unfortunately I think what we pay for him is too high, if he was on an average wage then fair enough.
Like the guy, great attitude busy financially I think makes sense to sell if we get a good offer.
17 May 2025 18:56:20
Mark, I agree but you need to tell some of the others that support us that, as they don't understand.
17 May 2025 18:59:40
Neither is Igamane a league winning striker unless I missed that. He has scored 50 goals in 2 seasons, not 30 and that is when we supposedly don't play to his strengths, so perhaps the new manager will play a style that better suits him. At the moment he is better than a perpetually injured striker and a young lad who is yet to play as many games as Dessers has scored goals this season.
17 May 2025 19:04:04
Raskin, he is not a league winning striker but has scored the most goals in the league lol man.
17 May 2025 19:07:37
I agree yes, agree with Storm and Mark, pathetic that a guy who scores 51 goals still gets abuse, he may not be the best all round striker in terms of the team but 51 goals who is scoring that, a new guy has no guarantees, MPH posted stats earlier in relation to where our probs lie, newsflash it's not Dessers. Good post btw MPH??. Posts early in the season saying we need a 30 goal striker, he got 29, just hang draw n quarter him, pathetic attitude towards an absolute Gent.
17 May 2025 19:08:39
Also agree with Gdog ??.
17 May 2025 19:38:05
What are we prepared to pay for a 25 goal plus, striker, transfer and salary?
Anyone?
17 May 2025 19:46:12
Royal Raskin, We are not a league winning team, It's not all Dessers fault by no means, He would be a league winning striker if he had a good team behind him, unfortunately he has not. He has scored 51 goals in two seasons and all I hear is that he is not good enough, So we just get rid of our top goal scorer then.
17 May 2025 20:04:38
I'd have Dessers and igamane as our two main strikers next season.
Danilo certainly needs replaced this window.
17 May 2025 20:09:39
Dessers is nice big fella, he also tries hard and is always available on top of that he's got a great goal return, all these things can be true and are but that doesn't mean people can't want better.
I think his all round play is poor and some of his decision making is baffling that doesn't mean I don't like him or appreciate what he does on the park.
I actually think it's both him not being the striker we need and other players not chipping in with goals to help out enough.
Dessers missed chances are highlighted more when nobody else steps up or we give away a horrendous goal in defense.
I think we sell him and try generate some cash and wish him all the best imo.
17 May 2025 20:46:35
It's all good having a decent striker, what we also need is a decent defence and on top of that a decent manager, the names being thrown about so far are not very inspirational.
17 May 2025 20:50:42
I have to say I'm no fan of Dessers but I'm leaning more and more towards getting shot of Danilo, who, misses lots of sitter too, is never fit, and looked today as if he didn't want to be there, so let's make that come true for him and he can take that truly useless centre half Propper with him. He is possibly the worst centre half I've seen in a Rangers jersey and there have been some belters in the fifty odd years I've been watching the Gers.
17 May 2025 19:13:20
I like dessers a lot for his goals and attitude and will always have a soft spot for him but there's no room for sentiments. His all round game is just not up to scratch unfortunately. Whatever happens i'll wish him well weather he stays or goes but i think the way to go is with an igamane/ danilo or a new signing who can hold the ball up, bring others into play, lead the line properly and if we are lucky score the same amount of goals dessers does.
17 May 2025 20:55:03
My star did we win the league? Did he score a thirds of his goals in the last 3 weeks when there was absolutely 0 pressure? Yes.
Did he do it when we were still in with a chance of 2 trophies? No. Did he miss sitter after sitter and have atrocious hold up play whilst being offside 4 times every game? Yes.
Shankland scored 30 last 2 seasons. Want him as your starting striker?
17 May 2025 21:13:47
No but are you saying that is all Dessers fault Raskin lol again man.
17 May 2025 21:22:30
Dessers is not the reason we don't win the league. Yes he misses chances but 50 goals over two seasons is league winning form. If he had other players around him contributing and taking less of the strain of him we would not be moaning at him. Two wingers and a new back 4 is a far bigger priority this summer than a new striker.
17 May 2025 21:32:17
Did we get 41 goals against us, yes, must be dessers fault there aswell.
17 May 2025 21:49:56
My star I haven't said its all his fault once. I'm talking about him as he is the subject of this post. For your sake, here is a list of players not good enough at the club that need moved on in the summer:
Dessers, butland, tav, souttar, propper, ridvan, jefte, lawrence, hagi, bajrami, mccausland, matondo, danilo, fernandes and sterling.
Hope that's of use.
17 May 2025 21:50:02
Ehl At least your living the dream working for the famous mate ???.
17 May 2025 21:56:41
Did he score a third of his LEAGUE goals in last 3 weeks yes . he also scored two thirds of those when there were still league trophies to win. did he miss chances yes but name me a striker who you think will replace him and not miss chances. don't say Igamane as it would take me 5 minutes to put together a montage where he hits row z with his shooting. were his offsides by the width of a toe nail and how does a striker judge that small margin. they play on the shoulder of the last man and they get caught offside. the more you write the more I realise how little you know about the game.
17 May 2025 22:11:17
Raskin your opinion only ?.
17 May 2025 22:13:05
But the leagues topscorer not being good for a league winning side does make me piss myself laughing Raskin.
17 May 2025 22:24:46
Angus I said 30 League goals in 2 seasons. It was actually 34 but the point is still valid - not nearly enough.
Simon Murray on a fraction of the wages and about £5M less in transfer fees has 30 (with a game to go) at clubs fighting relegation battles.
In terms of being offside constantly - loads of strikers play on the shoulder and aren't offside nearly as much as CD. Maybe he should try arching his run rather than running in straight lines all the time.
17 May 2025 22:33:59
Storm anyone that doesn't agree with you is embarrassing, can you not just disagree? One of the most respectful posters on here, yet you have a go. What has working at Rangers got to do with it? Does everyone that works at Rangers need to agree with you? All your really saying is it's worrying because he has a different opinion.
17 May 2025 22:53:38
I might be mistaken but did Maeda only score 3/ 4 more. Player of the season i believe. Crazy selling Dessers. Maybe EHL and others know more about the big guy.
17 May 2025 23:01:40
Raskin is not a league winning midfielder then because we didn't win the league. By the logic its all his fault as midfield didn't protect defense enough or create/ score enough so he must be binned and branded a serial loser teehe.
17 May 2025 23:27:32
Agreed boyblue. Anyway it's taverniers fault dessers misses so many chances.
17 May 2025 23:33:13
Okay, take your pick.
Who would be better in a league winning team in the 9 position next season. Dessers, who finished top scorer, or maeda, who finished 2nd?
Maeda. All day, every day and twice on a Sunday.
18 May 2025 00:45:31
Huey if you don't understand the point I'm making then just say.
Raskin could easily contribute to a league winning team, he has the ability to make a contribution with better players around him. Dessers doesn't.
The mark of the man is taking a penalty to be top scorer but bottling it in a penalty shootout for a trophy.
Sell sell sell.
18 May 2025 01:09:38
Dessers has improved quite a bit since the temporary team came in he's more instinctive and Fannie's about less and gets his shots away quicker, big credit probably goes to Billy Dodds for that. With current form we should be keeping him unless a right good offer comes in, but we also need to bring in a striker that can lead the line and hold it up better because in Europe and the old firm games it's key that we have that option, and we know that's not Dessers strength.
But you can't argue with his goals tally and credit to him for that.
So let's have different options as we tend only to play with one out and out striker.
Going back to Walter Smiths second spell we had Cousin, Darcheville and Boyd as our strikers, Boyd scored goals against most of the teams in the spl but was often left out of games in Europe and old firm games as we required something different.
Let's play to Dessers strengths more and have options when needed and hopefully this starts close season.
18 May 2025 05:03:28
Clement picked the order of the penalty takers that day. He came out n said it on several occasions after the game in interview, you're talking mince and u know it because it doesn't fit your negative narrative as per usual.
