Haha yep but you can basically apply that to everyone. Aribo always looks slick for Rangers but when he’s in green he looks like garbage.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I've seen Rangers a few times this season and he's impressed me every time. He's a proper presence down his side.
Leicester fans are gutted that they let him go.
This guy is the real deal. Whoever grabs him first is going to get one hell of a steal. United should be after him for his versatility alone. Athleticism is off the charts and will only get better as his game matures. But from the 20 or so Rangers games I've watched this season he'd replace Shaw or Maguire easily
Has anyone ever seen him play at centre back? If so, what is he like?
Think he needs the stepping stone move to a decent side in the PL to see if he’s worth it, though.
He played Centre Back in the Europa League final and was outstanding. Man of the match today playing left back.
I’ve watched a couple of Rangers games this season and this guy has impressed me every time. He was signed as a LB but has looked just as good at CB too. Looks great both defensively and offensively when he drives forward.
Definitely will be a few clubs in for him this summer and won’t be surprised if his former manager Gerrard wants to take him at Villa next season. Still young and definitely one to monitor going forward.

I like the look of this guy. One of them ones where if you sign him now you’ll get him relatively cheap, otherwise a club like Leicester sign him and he ends up costing you £50-60m a couple years down the line.
Been really good in Rangers Europa league campaign, I feel a move to someone like Villa is probabl the right move for him at the moment.
Looks really powerful and decent ont the ball but Evra and Rudiger comparisons or replacements a bit OTT for me.
Liek him and enjoyed Rangers Europa games, but then there have been a few like Kent and Moreno looked like world beaters that simply arent, they are decent players. Bassey may be better but personally dont see him beign a starter or star at the big premiership clubs
Is Cash an upgrade on Bissaka? I knwo he is right back not left back but to me he seems like a heavily diluted version of Chilwell. ALways been a fan of Bissaka and thoguth he would be a great signing, he hasnt progressed and it is time for him to go and be replaced as Dalot certainly isnt the answer. Cash is doign well at Villa but I dont see Cash as an upgrade.
Close to Villa according to The Times.
Saw that.
Said the same, that Villa would be in for him. Its a shame our scouting hasn't deemed him worth the 15-20m he will go for.
Will move to one of the top 6 teams within 2 years for a far bigger sum than Villa will pay in my opinion.
So many bargains to be found in the Scottish game.
Would be surprised in as much as Villa are already well stocked on the left-hand side of defence with Digne and Mings there already, so they'd likely have other priorities to tackle first.
We'll buy him for like 60M in a couple of seasons.
Wait what?!?!? Why?!?!??
I love him. No I’m not at all biased being a Rangers fan 
tremendous season and has many attributes (fast, strong, fantastic engine, crossing ability, goal threat). Yeah he plays up here but in Europe he’s been excellent as well. I’d love to take a chance on him.

Villa are going to finish above us next season
Cry babies on here. Villa won't be finishing anywhere near us. Even in our worst season in ages we slept walk into 6th. We now have one of the best managers in Europe over the past 4 years and he will get his players and get the team playing again.Stop the moping and negative rhetoric. Kamara and Bassey are not taking us up from 6th to the Top 4 so calm down.
Are they feck, got a spine of clowns.
At this point, I'd take Shirley Bassey.

Could be a really good move for him to continue to grow as a LCB
They're spending OUR money
Don’t know much about him. Is he any good?
I've only seen him play twice (europa and Scottish Cup finals) and he was excellent in both.
Mate of mine is a big Rangers fan and thinks he's brilliant. His pace/athleticism is what stands out the most.
Fast rise for him though. He wasn't even getting in the Rangers team at the start of the season. Cracking business from.them.to be honest, they only paid about 300k for him.
I was sceptical at first when I heard the rumours. From what I remember in EL final I thought he looked quite poor/uncomfortable in possession, which usually doesn't work well with Ajax. On the other side he did look impressive defensively, which is obviously very important for a defender. Given all the positive reveiws on this guy, I think I'm happy we signed him. 22m is a lot of money, but after what we've sold Martinez for, can't really complain about that.
Doing brilliant for me in FM22 for Oldham. Will lose him in the summer transfer window though
Shirley’s lad?
He’s definitely more of a ball carrier with his pace and strength than he is an insightful passer
Surely.
Timber replacement..
Thanks mate, sounds promising. Not happy with the 10% selling bonus.
Yeah, those 10% will be a lot of money in a couple of years
I’d have taken him in a heartbeat at Chelsea.
Not a huge risk for the money quoted, very young and a physical specimen.
He has also played left back regularly, played cb in the Europe League run and got motm in the final. Left footed cb who has played in a back 3 and can play left back and has the energy to attack after attack. Very very quick and ridiculously strong. Would have been ideal replacement for Rudiger with guidance from Thiago Silva. We would never take a chance on a player from SPL though. We will buy him for Ajax for 80m in 3 years.
Going to Ajax it seems.
