Such a relief tying this up! Had me fretting ever since the mysterious virus! Can't wait to see our french speaking contingent having a decent crack at this league!
Am I the only one who is decidedly underwhelmed by this "signing"?
In his debut, he proved he can be as big a liability as Barton and Ciise with a suspect footballing brain and making rash decisions and badly timed tackles in dangerous places.
Ok so he then went on and performed reasonably well against the lesser clubs but his ability to "drift" passed players in the top 6 clubs will soon be found out and he will be constantly being caught in possession and put the defence on the back foot.
Where is the proof that he will automatically form an effective partnership with Ali Faurlin? - I think putting Derry inbeside Faurlin is a safer option until Hughes goes out and buys an experienced midfielder from one of the top 6 clubs.
And what's with the return to the 4 year contract. I thought that Mike Rigg was supposed to be the replacement to the madness of The Italian Waiter. What happens if we get relegated and then cant offload him because he will be too expensive to offload and no one else will want to pay his wages because he is probably on 60-70K a week so that he wont be upset by being paid less than Barton.
I think this signing shows a lack of ambition and a return to financial meltdown that we thought we had moved away from.
We have probably paid over the top for him when we could have put the money towards paying off the replacement ABC loan.
Much better players are probably available from the premier league clubs afte 1st July and if we waited until just before the transfer window shuts we could have probably bagged ourselves a bargain for a proven player.

YEP. I cant wait to see the new Viera strut his stuff.

Actually over the moon about it. They say that good and bad things normally come in threes and I was waiting for the third good piece of good news today and it arrived on queue.
1. My boss was called out to anothe office all day at short notice - queue manic celebrations this morning when the news broke. 2. LB Hillingdon after 4.5mths of waiting finally approved our planning application for an extension 3. The Mental Malian returns on a permanent.

LOL...you almost had me there. You were joking right?
A40Bosh, I don't think there is anything wrong with raising these questions.
Yes, he is unproven. Yes, there is a question over his temperament and abilities.
However, after starting off as a complete headbanger he did improve quickly, and played a part in our struggle against relegation. And we definitely need some younger players to play alongside the older players in the squad.
Edit: Oops, you got me

Have a feeling he will be the fans favourite this time next year
I think he's the fan's favourite now!
So chuffed about this, I hope we don't pile too much pressure on Faurlin and Samba, in the close season they seemed to have turned into Iniesta and Roy Keane in people's minds. Having Barton / Derry around as well is going to be important.
Great signing, true Rangers play if ever I saw one!
One thing i noticed was that after that Fulham game, he seemed to adapt and LEARN from it... If Hughes and the rest of the back room staff can get their teeth into him, and he can show steady improvement over the next couple of seasons, then.... WOW. We could have some player on our hands.
I don't want us to put too much pressure on Ali and Samba in midfield though, and would still like to see us bring in a 'steady eddie' in that area.

To be fair as bad as Rangers fans are when it comes to them vilifying somebody by the same token if a player is liked and popular they are forgiven for the odd mistake. Samba despite limited games has already established a good line of credit with R's faithful so I think we will give him enough time and support. Hopefully the progress we have seen so far carries on and he becomes what we all hope he will be in the middle and perfect foil for Faurlin at the same time
For starters, AT surely will want to extend his contract here. And if Sambas as good as i think he may be, it makes the club a far more attractive proposition for targets in the future.
I think the 'swerve and glide' that SD admirably performs needs a good name. It reminds me of basketball players when they seem to define gravity and glide horizontally in the air.
He will be playing for a top four team in two years. It would be a dream if it were us, but, if not, £20m at least. Magnificent signing, magnificent business. Sparky, you are da man!
