    Ah right, you really think Roberts is suited to playing that centrally? He creates so much space moving inside and dragging defenders out of shape that allows him to shoot. Rogic is probably more suited to that role with his quick feet and eye for a pass as it's where defenders will be closing down the quickest. That's just cause of progression though, Roberts has the skill set to do it, big Tam has already got the experience.

    Mind you isn't that Johansen's best position?

    I see what you mean about Armstrong and Allan on the inside left position, with room to breathe they can create a lot more. Armstrong seems more pragmatic while Allan seems more adventurous.

    I mean inside left/right assuming the diamond means the wings are for the full backs?

    His best position is behind the striker.

    I don't think his favourite team has anything to do with whether he stays with us or not. We've signed many a Rangers fan who've given their all for us.

    He was but I think most of the furore bout that came from Andy Halliday did it not? In the least subtle attempt from The Scum yet at tapping up a player

    I don't think his favourite team has anything to do with him staying with us either. I think he'll leave because he's not good enough to play regular football for us, and that he'll end up at the Huns because he'll be good enough for them.

    Shouldn't we adopt the same stand as hibz and not sell to a (supposed) competitor?

    I thought we didn't do direct business with 'them' anyway.

    Doesn't mean he couldn't end up at them further down the line

    Yeah, that's what I meant. I can see him * about down south for a year or two before coming back to "take his rightful place with the mighty Glasgow Rangers" or some other * like that.

    Just think Roberts plays regardless of formation.. He could play at the tip of a diamond..

    Johansen is done here, think we'll cash in..

    If Allan is good enough, then he will flourish under Rodgers.

    If not, then he can go.

    Unreal :31:

    If he doesn't look like being part of BR's plan I wouldn't rule out Stubbs making a wee bid for him, as hardly going to kill his budget........around £300k.

    Why's that mate? Seems fairly inoffensive?

    Hasn't had much of a chance but must admit was more impressed with Henderson than what I've seen of Allan

    Biggest drawback about Allan for me is he's not a young guy anymore, 25 in November. He's shown glimpses of great play but I can't see him nailing down a place this season. Fresh start for everyone tho, be interesting to see what happens with the fringe players.
