Blues to extend Ranger's deal until the end of the season

Forums New posts
Was not over the moon about having this guy at the Hall,but seems to have proved to PB he is worth a punt. We shall see.
 
Probably a lot more early termination clauses in Ranger's, but if he keeps his nose clean then I'm not surprised he got a longer deal
 
Interesting statement from PB

“It’s the first time in my career I’ve ever signed an injured player ......"

Is that true?

I guess that you could swap "injury-prone" for "injured" for certain PB signings.
 
'if the player had come through what I witnessed then I would have brought him in,” said Brown.

Does this mean that he didn't come through what PB witnessed[FONT=&quot]?

Injured? Replaced? Not picked? Not good enough?[/FONT]
 
There is no doubt in my mind that if Ranger gets his body and head fit then we have a Premier class forward on our hands. I'm inclined to see this develop a bit more yet.

Hope there's a extension Clause for us in there aswell. If he goes on to have a good season wouldn't want him to be snapped up for nothing next year

In the article..

“I’ve spoken to Nile and the chairman and we will be extending Nile’s contract until the end of the season,” confirmed Brown.

“There are clauses in the deal to make it longer if we want to do so."

Exactly my thoughts.

If his head is now screwed on as we are led to believe, he will score goals comfortably at this level. Hopefully there is an option of at least a second year.

An in form Mooney, Cox and Ranger is as good as anything at this level. I'm sure certain Championship clubs will be envious if they stay fit.
 
Phil has completed his individual check on Nile. Will he be ready soon? we just don't know, now read on:thumbsup:

 
For clarity Ranger was never on a monthly contract.

He signed a contract for an initial 1 month with the option for us to trigger a 1 year extension with the further option of a second year. The contract also includes the ability for us to terminate under various circumstances.

So no need for a monthly contract, a pay as you play contract or any of the other types of contract that might get a mention. To the point made with his head screwed on it was important that he could not use us to get fit, show he is a reformed character and the go and play somewhere else. Fit, sorted and banging them in he is a valuable asset.

I suspect with Sokolik we have an option after 5 months but don't need all sorts of other clauses to terminate like we enjoy with Ranger (and probably wouldn't get them).
 
IF we'd had SZ back in the day, a large number of you would have moaned about the ex-con we signed called Ricky Otto. Or the troublesome forward from Palace called Stan Collymore. Jeezuz, we even signed someone who lived in a caravan.

Nile Ranger, POTENTIALLY, could be the difference between us and everyone else. Yeah, the key word is potential.

I'd rather take the gamble he pays off, than not. A partnership between him and Cox has the ability to be the best in this division. But it's all potentially and hopefully. But its better than there being no potential or, worse, no hope.
