RANGERRAB 3,618 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Er.......why ? he’s no chance of getting into the first team squad 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,519 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'm intrigued by this. It looks to me like he has very little chance of breaking into the first-team, but it seems the club, and Gerrard, regard him highly. It says that he's only just been added to the first team squad, which surprised me, as it feels like he's been around for ages. Saying that, he's still only 20. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,552 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm told Gerrard sees a lot of himself in the lad so why not give him another year or so to see what he can do. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffer 1,665 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Our academy isn't just there to develop players for the first team. It is also a source of revenue and many of our young players can be sold on. Traditionally we've regarded success as an academy player making it into our first team, but other clubs use their academies purely to raise funds (by selling them to lesser clubs) that can be used to buy the players they need. I have not seen evidence that our academy is doing either though at the moment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-1000 174 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 In the snippets of games I have seen he always looks quite a tidy player who is seeking to play a meaningful pass. As I expect he is not on that high a salary probably worth keeping for another year to see if he develops. I suspect Gerrard might see him as having greater promise than Docherty who is about three years older and is currently not included in the match-day squads. In terms of the midfield I am sure a priority for Gerrard will be someone who can control the midfield and take over from Davis when he retires. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yeh a bit of a surprise. He did all right at Raith Rovers and 20 is still young. What I don't understand though is why he isn't on loan just now? How can he move forward without going out and showing what he can do at a decent level. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 2,007 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Often with players at this stage, a new contract triggers a loan move since we then retain an option on their services should they kick on. I fancy he will move to a 6 month loan in January. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
