pcbear 10,913 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I,m sure its been posted somewhere but this young man looks quality, i remember a few seasons ago he was voted the top player in a tourney in Hong Kong? and many thought then he would have done the biz in our first team, for whatever reason it never transpired and last night he looked really good,its criminal that this kid was allowed to go and flourish elsewhere, i know you cant keep them all but youth team/reserve watchers all predicted he had a good future with us.Did we get any transfer or was he freed?

Gaz92 966 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 He might end up with Ross McCormack in our XI of talents we've wasted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM1872 3,706 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Another baffling decision to let him go.What sort of team could we have had from our youth development scheme over the years had nobody moved on? Could make out quite a formidable side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 At the time there were maybe more players infront of him if he had stayed who knows how well he would have done.May have flopped playing for Rangers seems to be tough for the younger players given the expectation, even now in the third division its still hard to educate the crowd that shouting at young players or any player doesn't really help them.I like the odd shout myself when i think players should be doing better so i'm equally guilty at times.

superally07 387 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Just to add he didnt celebrate when he scored. I respect that :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 He was always well thought of with us but he had rotten luck with injuries and to be fair at the time we had players like Mendes, Thomson, Davis, Edu, all in front of him. Cant really say we did wrong letting him go at the time as he wouldnt have played....Also as good as he was last night the fact is our players inability and lack of work rate made him look even better than he is.

Amac9 2,060 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Always had the talent but never got the chance under Walter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain01 15 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I remember couple of seasons ago he came on in a friendly vs Newcastle and looked petrified anytime he got the ball, talents not always enough got to be mentally tough. I have friends who support the buddies and rave about Paul McGowan who never looked a player at the San giro, some players are destined to shine at a lower level. Fat Charlie classic example, predicted he wouldn't see a more than aseason at Liverpool Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,435 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 We were fighting for SPL titles and playing in Europe, he was below that standard at that time. What we should be trying to do more often is get the young guys on loan to SPL teams so they can get 1st team action and experience to see if they have what it takes at this level.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 i wanted to applaud him off when he was subbed last night but i think most of the fans near me forgot he played for us judging by some of the abuse they were dishing out seems a good lad. as already mentioned he didn't celebrate his goal and was praising both sets of fans on Twitter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE 4,880 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Just to add he didnt celebrate when he scored. I respect that :-)He ran to the Broomloan/West Enclosure to celebrate in front of us when we played them last season, sure he also made a few twitter comments - absolute cretin.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 We were fighting for SPL titles and playing in Europe, he was below that standard at that time. What we should be trying to do more often is get the young guys on loan to SPL teams so they can get 1st team action and experience to see if they have what it takes at this level.The likes of Hutton and Wylde still managed to get first team activity amid these aims, so don't think it's a full excuse. The squad still wasn't the biggest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Sometimes it takes a player to go to another club to find his feet and regular first team football which helps them become a better player, see the likes of Gerard Pique, Cesc Fabregas and Jordi Alba who were all in the Barcelona youth system before making their moves, only to arrive back at Barcelona as much better and more complete players.
