Can't wait until he's off the wage bill.He’s been a disaster of a signing. His only good season came the one we didn’t really need him.

Roofe should be nowhere the starting XI.
Dessers is a large human bring, but also offers zero physicality.He offers zero physicality when leading the line which is why Dessers is getting the nod over him. He doesn’t occupy defenders. He is only a viable option when playing next to another striker who offers a presence.
Great finisher when fit though. It’s no coincidence we won the league when he had his most consistent run of games
Must be the case. Was clear it wasn't Dessers day.Thought he might have got some minutes off the bench on Sunday but looks like Clement doesn't rate him.
Sadly accurateEven if he plays and even if he scores colllum will rule it out for some perceived infringement about 5 mins earlier.
Whatever the question Dessers should not be the answer.Dessers is a better option now, certainly wouldn't be playing Roofe ahead of him
He'll leave in the summer and score 20 goals next season.
He won't, he really won't.He'll leave in the summer and score 20 goals next season.
I know what you mean, but he will be at a lower Championship club and struggle to score in a brothel.I suspect Roofe does not, let's say, give 100% in training, hence the manager's reluctance to play him in games.
He will be well aware his next contract will more than likely be his last, and he knows full well it won't be at Rangers. He'll be making sure he doesn't pick up (yet) another injury, in order to give himself a better chance of earning his last big pay day from some desperate club looking for a forward.
He'll no doubt end up playing 50 games somewhere next season and bag 25 goals, such is our luck.
I’d actually even forgotten about him this time around.
Mental.
Is he remotely fit? Can’t remember his last injury.
Exactly what I was going to say. He’d previously shown us how good he could be. That player hasn’t looked like reappearing this year. Frankly, and it’s a shame for him, he looks absolutely done.He started the game away to Dundee recently.
I've been a big fan of Roofe over the years, while accepting we'd barely ever see him, but any time he's played this season, even in the games he's scored, he's looked nowhere near the player he used to be.
He’ll not make 20 appearances.
Amazingly he has 22 (twenty two!) appearances this season. Not so impressive when you realise that he has averaged 31 minutes per appearance.Let's be honest. He has been an absolutely dreadful signing. He contributed in the 55 season, as the majority of the squad did.
But he has played 100 matches in 4 seasons, and of those 100 games the majority have not been for 90 minutes.
Between his fee, wages and contribution he has been a catastrophic waste of money.
I do feel sorry for him as he was a talent and he had some brilliant moments but I cannot wait until we can shake hands and wish him all the best, and he is no longer on the wage bill.
Roll on August for no more roofe theeads.
For an over 50's walking football team perhaps.He'll leave in the summer and score 20 goals next season.
Yip - seems fit to train rather than fit to playHe’s been hopeless since he came back to “fitness”.
Equally though if we bring him on for the last 30 minutes say, he could still only last 10 minutes and we may have subbed Dessers off to put him on and we would be in a bigger messWe don’t want to be using a sub in the first 10 minutes though, so that’s probably not a great idea. He’s done. Kaput.
That is the weird thing for me about him, he used to be a handful at Leeds, like a battering ram with 2 up front, but that deserted him a few seasons ago.He offers zero physicality when leading the line which is why Dessers is getting the nod over him.
Fully fit.Even when fully fit I’d have always started Morelos over him.
He'll start banging them in elsewhere and the threads will be all about when can we bring him back. Standard FFRoll on August for no more roofe theeads.
Depends how you look at it mate. He's definitely a quality player. Ultimately that doesn't matter when you cant stay fit enough to get a run to show it.Not as good as he's made out to be IMO, outwith that goal at Betis he's contributed nothing this season.
Dessers was really poor at the weekend.
The fact that Clement still never replaced him with Roofe tells it all.
When he started at Dundee he didn't even have a shot on goal, never mind a shot on target.
