The mysterious godlike status of Alejandro Faurlin

[Rangers77]

My pal loves him.......

[dave58]

Dont have a problem with Faurlin other than i think Huddersfield away his form has been nothing special, at fault for the 2nd goal at Fulham really poor pass on the edge of our box, dont think he's ever fulfilled his potential due to the injuries he's sustained, and his contract renewal should've been pay as you play,

Very odd thread. Yes, Ale is liked by the fans (me included) but I fail to see this "God like status" talked about? Hardly thread after thread started in his honour.

He obviously isn't the player he once was, after 3 ACLs that is hardly surprising. It's pretty incredible he si still playing at all after such injuries tbh, massively admire his attitude and determination.

That said though, he is hardly a carthorse now, I mean ffs he was (by all accounts) our best player vs Hull! Terrible game vs Fulham (along wit every single other player so not saying much). Really don't think he warrants a thread started to dig him out, he is far from our worst player. Christ, he isn't even anywhere near our worst CM, let alone player.

Still has enough about him to be in & around the 1st team for sure - would have him above Henry & Toszer all day long.

Liking a player cos he's a really nice bloke who has a rapport with the fans is now not allowed either.

Serious question here, has the OP ever made one of his threads praising qpr or anything to do with them?
As I have definitely never seen one, only constant coat offs.

I do see the OP point of view as have had many discussions similar to his opinion before games this season but sometimes a player comes along who just connects with a club and Ale is one of those players. He certainly fits in with Ramseys seemingly style of play too hence why he got a new contract, which nobody knows the details of, so he may be on a much reduced wage. He clearly loves the club and after all that have come and gone in last 4 years I like the fact Ale is still with the club.

Crazy post. Faurlin is liked and respected at Qpr after all the crap he's been through with injuries over the last few years, to be back playing is testament to the blokes courage... Factor in he's one of our best players even 50% fit and generally a top bloke, I really don't get the bad vibe.

As for god-like status? please? What a load of bull.

[Ginger Ninja]

It seems that being liked by fans because of his loyalty to the club is wrong judging by the OP.
Injuries have hampered his ability, without those injuries he would be, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best centre mids we have had in years, perhaps ever. It's a shame he did get injured. But there was a time long serving players were well liked by rangers fans. Maddix? Hill? Ainsworth? None particularly great players, but all thought of very highly. Not sure where the whole "god-like status" thing comes from. Perhaps just a phrase for the OP to bash Faurlin.

Simon Barker played like a headless chicken in most games but Clive Wilson was a very classy full back..Faulin looks unspectacular but provides quick simple passing that some of our current players lack.

You must have been the feller that used to sit in front of me.. Simon Barker headless chicken.. Seriously

[MINCER]

Yes seriously..£400k from Blackburn was big money then..very poor player who probably would not get in our current team now !!

[Bracknell Neil]

Each to their own but against man Utd New Year's Day and Liverpool in 89 he was far from pony..

[MINCER]

Went from us to the mighty Port Vale..hardly any sort of legendary player for our club or any other..a powder puff Ian Hollaway type player imo.

He did but he was 35 then.. Must have been the worse Rangers midfielder to amass 300 appearances 30 odd goals and finish in the top 10 more often than not... Double gobsmacked

I don't go with this nice bloke thing either, my lad who recently was a mascot at a game met him and he wasn't very friendly at all, if anything he was borderline ignorant and my kids went way after meeting him very disappointed.

[ChiswickHoop]

Very harsh Post

Faurlin has come back from 3 ACL injuries, is clearly still trying to regain his confidence and build up his strength and match practice. 3 serious injuries, anyone would be playing with fear of breaking down again. I think in a few months people will be eating their words.

He plays with a passion, loves the club, and if it wasnt for the ACLs I have no doubt he would be playing for a spurs level type of team. He adds a balance to the team, great range of passing and can win a tackle.

Player of the season in his first year and instrumental in the year we went up.

[Shepherds Mush]

Struggling at the moment but still one of the best passers of the ball at the club. Would rather a 75% fit Faurlin to a 100% fit Henry.

I was wrong Godfather.. You have taken a bit of a bashing.. Still reckon your onto something. Yeah, maybe a bit over the top with the 'God like status' but definitely one of the 'protected' players.
