Cal Sold to Aberdeen

Have to say I if you took away Richardson's pace, he would struggle to make a living from football, IMO.

He’s young and, as others have stated, will hopefully learn and develop. But, I can understand your comment. At times, he just seems to completely switch off.

I think he’d struggle under LW or would LW get more out of him?

I’ll pull you up on that one Rangers are the best team in Scotland and also the most successful one.

To be fair it's a massive step up. A tough place to make your debut, against the best team at the biggest stadium. I guess he'll have more luck against the other teams.

This. It's a huge step up, away at the champions of Scotland in front of nearly 60,000 - and he's thrown on with 20 minutes to go when they're chasing the game (and shadows by the sounds of it).

I don't really see much of Scottish football (although Rangers were very impressive in Europe last season whenever I saw them on TV), but I would imagine that the likes of St Mirren, Motherwell and Kilmarnock will be more to Cal's liking than the Old Firm duo.

Talking of Scottish football, I see Jorge Grant is now at Hearts after an unsuccessful season at Peterborough in the Championship.

I see Cal was taken off injured 18 mins after coming on as sub for Aberdeen this afternoon, it confirms what a shrewd bit of business it was by us, to give him his move.
I know the club made it sound like he was a big loss, but on the quiet I think they would have been pleased to get more than the valuation we put on him, at the same time as solving the problem of how/where to shoe horn him into the starting eleven.
I hope he can limp to the required amount of appearances needed to earn us some more dosh. I don't hold out much hope of extra cash from a sell on fee.
It is sad to see a player with his talent suffer from a run of injuries, but it seems to go cap in hand with his attitude.

What "attitude" is that? I only saw a player with a burning desire to win.

Seems to be a fan of getting his mates to act like t**ts on twitter about the club.

Another member made a few remarks about other off field stuff.

Basically he doesnt fit into a 352 system and he is starting to pick up a few injuries now.

I don't do Twitter, I was talking about his attitude on the pitch.

I never saw him give less than 100%.

Troll.

EP just something in his body language that gave me the impression he has an attitude problem, backed up with his going down way to easily when in contact with an opponent, along with the Twitter rubbish.
As far as I know he seems have been the only player to not see eye to eye with IB. Just my opinion
