    Only has himself to blame for his fall from grace.

    Is space a talent. Given his criminal charges.
    How many clubs gave him a chance to get his act together.

    I wouldn’t want to be playing against him on a Sunday morning, still half cooked from the Saturday night booze up.

    He did one of the most amazing bits of control I’ve ever seen. Away at Peterborough, launched up to him ready for a flick on, instead he leaps like a gazelle, on his chest and dropped straight on his toe. He did absolutely fck all for the rest of his time here but that was mint.

    I agree. Brittain's got talent.

    Nile Ranger hasn't.

    If you buy a raffle ticket, you'll get lucky now and then I suppose

    Baffling wasn't it. Looks like his chances in the FL have finally run out though.

    My favourite Nile ranger anecdote though, is from his time at Southend. Despite his rap sheet, which includes robbery, assault, fraud and money laundering, he was sacked from Southend for 'poor timekeeping'. They were cool with everything he'd done before, but turning up late for training was just one step too far.

    Rape charge n’all, Acquitted mind. A marked man but not in the football sense.

    Aye, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and left it out as he was acquitted.

    I remember him breaking through at Newcastle & he was regularly used off the bench to replace Carroll & honestly that version of him is exactly what we need right now up top. Tall, quick, strong, brings others into play, works the channels, basically a better version of Jacob Brown.

    Massive waste of talent. Should’ve been a top end championship / lower premier league player

    Clearly got serious mental issues. While I don't believe that anyone is beyond redemption, it seems that enough people have tried to give him a second, third and fourth chance, but he's fcked it up every time. Sounds like he genuinely needs professional help.
