TheGoogler 324 Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) The Scottish Sun (link to the Daily Record repeating it as I don't like the Sun) are reporting that Rangers are keen to take Cantwell north of the border and are considering whether to do so this window or wait until summer when he's available for free. Can't help but think it would be a good move for him. A chance for a fresh start north of the border in front of an audience which, if he succeeds and gets back to his best, would really love him. And if it means we get a big earner off the books and maybe a bit of cash in January (going to be a very small fee, I suspect) I can't say I'd be too upset. Even if it does mean losing a player capable of showing the sort of creativity this side is really lacking. We can't deny he's not been hitting those levels. Thoughts?

Petriix 2,834 Posted January 7, 2023 I don't think he's a big earner. He refused the contract he was offered so is probably still on a comparatively low wage. I suspect he won't be short of offers in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,889 Posted January 8, 2023 Good luck to him, whatever happens. He's clearly had issues away from football affecting him. We easily forget players are just normal people with everyday problems too. I hope he rediscovers his form. Be it here or elsewhere. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted January 8, 2023 Good luck to him, hasn’t been the same for the last two years and not really worth a starting spot, so could probably do with a fresh start elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,437 Posted January 8, 2023 A league maybe at his level, but still a physical one so err maybe, but does he have the attitude to be one half of the old firm. Abused by one half of Glasgow and abused if not up to scratch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtopia 517 Posted January 8, 2023 I really hope it works out for him, he will do well in most games, and may even get time in the European games, so good luck to him. If he goes there he is not choosing the easy option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Greenthumb 746 Posted January 8, 2023 If we get a fee for him we have been lucky. So pointless him being at the club in recent times and it’s a real shame, he is a good player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helsinki canary 240 Posted January 8, 2023 We won’t get much for him, better just to release him and let him find a new club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxy2600 297 Posted January 8, 2023 I used to rate him but as time went on, I think it was more about him made to look good by the other players around him. if you aren’t fitting in at Bournemouth you ain’t ever gonna fit in with SPL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,834 Posted January 8, 2023 He's still vastly better than Hernandez, Sinani, Sara and Nunez. It's nothing to do with his attitude, he's been frozen out because Webber doesn't like him and he refused to sign a new contract. I've got a feeling he's going to make a lot of people look pretty stupid after he finally gets his move. We should have been building the team around him after Buendia left. Instead we removed his position from our formation. He's the perfect demonstration of what's gone wrong at the club. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted January 8, 2023 I can't believe it's a Webber thing. What would be the logic in effectively devaluing an asset? I find it really strange that he didn't even make the bench today. Was he so bad in yesterday's training match that Wagner thought 'no-way'? I can only assume we have received an offer or didn't want to 'cup tie' him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted January 8, 2023 I'd have hoped Wagner has come in with afew ideas for players he'd like to bring to the club, and hopefully those on the fringes, like cantwell and rashica can be sold quickly to free up those funds. There's definitely a good player in there in Cantwell, but let's face it, we can hardly say we'll miss him, as he's hardly played this or last season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,286 Posted January 8, 2023 I’m at a loss is there anything official or just lazy journalists? I don’t think Cantwell will be here come next season but can’t see Rangers taking a chance even on a free he’ll demand a hefty fee to go up north. I think he might find it hard to find a bigger club than he’s at now! He’s got two year of warming the bench at two clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt if Cantwell moved to Rangers he would be living in a scheme. If he does move and he thinks it'll be a cakewalk. It won't be. He should ask Pukki how easy the SPL is. First off Darko... Helen Flanagan? She's a complete Dipshoite. Secondly, i have it on good authority that he will go ro Rangers, what no one has realised is that hes on a mission to get gis own back on Wee Billy by shaggging his sister, Mum, Granny and school dinner lady PS Nothing against Glasgow, had great craic there in 1979.

Appreciate the response, not sure Scottish footy is as tough as the Championship but I wonder if Todd’s nemesis is social media rather than opponents on the field! For me he was our best pressing option this season! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,092 Posted January 8, 2023 People question his mental toughness but he went on loan to Fortuna Sittard at the age of 20 and made a success of it. While by no means unique for a young footballer, it isn’t easy to move abroad and come out on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
