elfideldo 406 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yet another Sinky got wrong Just got a move to Norwich City that could net Falkirk £1 million. I watched him play in the same youth team as Darren Ramsay and Charlie Telfer for a couple of years, where as he may not have been the standout he wouldn't have been a candidate for release in my opinion. Gary Oliver who recently scored for Hearts, Lewis Spence and Lewis Martin who are now regulars at Dunfermline also played in the same team on occasions although they are a year younger. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfideldo 406 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I should have mentioned following Murray Wallace and Jay Fullton, Conor is the third player they have picked up from Sinky they have sold for big fees. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good saying that, but where would Rangers play all of these youngsters? We can't afford to take the time to give them all their chance and wait for them to develop in the first team. We HAVE to win the league each season. How many teams play a young team and win titles and cups consistently? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLeod, Aird, Gallagher, MacKay, Gasparotto etc. You would hope that we get the majority of the best. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmu 0 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 In that case why do we have and spend a lot of money on a youth system at all ? With the current management team and philosophy the whole youth set up appears to be money wasted. Sad sad sad... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I with you, but the five players you quote sums up the problems with the youth system is. Only McLeod and to a lesser extent Gallagher(who came from Boys Club football quite late) were discovered and developed by Rangers. The other three's first contact with Rangers was a professional one, having been developed elsewhere. Having been at most of the games the three played as trialists you would have to have been blind not to sign them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That's all well and good saying that, but where would Rangers play all of these youngsters? We can't afford to take the time to give them all their chance and wait for them to develop in the first team. We HAVE to win the league each season.How many teams play a young team and win titles and cups consistently? Don't know where to even start here. Last season in the third tier of Scottish football we played two youngsters regularly and not a single new youth player got introduced on a regular basis. Even when the season was over and we were playing meaningless friendlies we still didn't give them a chance. A club in our position needs to be bringing through as many youth players as possible because we're certainly going to be signing no great players in a hurry with no scouts, a clueless manager and no money. We have just gone through two piss easy leagues where we had all the time in the world. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
