Just watched SG post match Uefa Official press conference. The way he speaks about Joe Aribo is exactly how i see him as a player. I know i defend and stick up for him a lot on here so i'm not getting carried away after one game. Gerrard said that he didn't sulk when he wasnt in the starting 11.
Was positive in the dressing room. Was more than ready to come on when he did. Played in more than one position and didn't sulk or ask questions. He said he was good enough to play in any position on the pitch. This is what I see when i watch him. I don't get the Aribo bashers.
He is only 22 and there is still improvement to come as well which is frightening. One area he could improve on is his tackling. he's a bit soft in the tackle for a guy his size but a class act and Rangers fans should enjoy him whilst we have him because he won't be here long I wouldn't think.

I don't know why people say this Aribo had an outstanding game but only when consistently can you claim for him not to hang around! Rangers are massive and play European football Players if showing a good quality will often get a move to a better league like the EPL and that's fair enough! What I will say, is those players are on a perfect platform to showcase their skills and are at a massive club with some pressures to deliver week in week out! Just want to put it out there, if Rangers were playing in the EPL your Aribos and all the exceptional players would only depart to clubs like your Real Madrids and Barcelonas of the world and maybe Liverpool at the minute Rangers and Celtic would be in your top 6 in terms of stature of support and size of the clubs in the EPL I'm not saying both would finish in the top half of the table with the team inherited but the quality of players coming to both clubs would be better given the better lucrative playground that both teams would be playing in.

I agree Kaz. We wouldn't lose players so easily if we were in a better league and we do provide them with a great platform but the reality is they will go and play in better leagues hence why i say let's enjoy players like him whilst we have them.

We'd get top dollar aswell Instead of looking at 20m plus for Morelos if he were to score 10+ goals in the EPL a Coloumbian international and only just turned 23 You'd be looking at at least 70m for him.
