der Berliner 3,231 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks for the input elfideldo, rest assured we appreciate it. Still, it both was not nor is it going to stay like it is now. They have a better crop now - it seems. But there are more reasons to this than them having a certain setup. For you do need players willing to actually sign up - no matter how hard you strife - and you actually need players that are "good" enough. We can and should make sure that we get the best out of what we have, and get the best that is out there. But wishful thinking and expections cannot be met each and every time. And, BTW, at the end of the day, the respective national coach selects the squads and whether these squads actually represent the best that is out there is very much open to debate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I thought there was to be a review of the Youth System, and Murray Park as a whole. Any idea if things are in the pipeline ? Anyone? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfideldo 406 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Surely the fact that there are 12 players that used be at Rangers would suggest we are recruiting good enough players but somewhere down the line poor decisions are being made. It's not an exact science and mistakes will be made, but 9 in recent squads, and there a few others around these squads that were released by Rangers. Maybe if it was 2 or 3 it would' t be a concern but when it's hitting double figures alarm bells should be ringing,. As for questions, without even commenting on the style of play, the facts above must be one question. Why is there such a poor record in players we have paid development fees progressing to a pro youth contract, 80 % + never got pro contracts. The latest two lasted 1 season at the club before being released. Why do "Rangers supporting" boys choose to move to Celtic, players that in at least 2 occasions Celtic have been happy to pay fees for. In my opinion that is three questions that should be asked without a fan a fan having to suggest it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards the first paragraph, generally speaking being good enough for sccotland is a lower bar than being good enough for Rangers. So players getting into national squads that we let go does not necessarily say anything about us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuznetsov 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Bar this exceptional season it is still the case. But I'm used to your contributions being amusing. rubbish. most, if not all, of the scotland squad based in the premiership have been out of our league for quite some time. you can throw in kris commons, james forrest and scott brown in there too.

I would say it says an awfull lot about us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
