Misteral 2,932 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Seems he's off to Chelsea in the summer, according to HITC. Hope they're wrong. http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/03/27/report-rangers-starlet-billy-gilmour-agrees-500000-ibrox-exit/page/1-2/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,532 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 young players, they always chase the life of golden unicorns and Rolex watches..... He will be lost at that club if true........ sad really as he may just regret jumping so early in his fledgling career as many others have done.

CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Think the only sticking point previously for Chelsea deal was what they were offering his family if that's sorted then he will be off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollok-bear 7,537 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 completely wrong move for him it will ruin his career. He should stay at us and then in a good few years look to a move like Chelsea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaby Bear 411 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 silly boy, he will fade into obscurity like the many Chelsea kids thus far. Who was the last player to come through their youth system into the 1st team? Only really John Terry jumps out. Bad move for him and us tbf.

They buy them with the intention of developing them and selling them on to other clubs. Unless of course they uncover a real gem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,520 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Up to him really. Chelsea move will probably set him up for life, even if he never kicks a ball for them. Could remain at us and just be the next Gregg Wylde, just as easily as he could be a Barry Ferguson. Bit gutted if true, as there's clear potential there.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,722 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Wrong club to be going to. Will become another loanee. Do understand him wanting to go to an EPL club tho. 500k ain't bad, for a 15 year old refusing to extend contract. Hopefully get a sell on clause inserted too. We'll survive.

Cant turn down that kind of money. Best for both parties if he signed for them/had the first option on him and loaned him back to us chelsea will rightfully want to decide where he goes though. Same thing will happen to the young lad dembele at them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmour would be better off going to somewhere like Southampton who have a track record of producing and developing youngsters and probably don't pay them stupid money so that they keep their feet on the ground. Lookmat Gayle look at Feruz, the next big thing that makes a big money move and fuck all happens from there, put out on loan a dozen times and fades into nothing. That feruz has played 19 games in his career and scored none, he's now 21 and has had 3 games this season for Swindon town in League One. Gilmour should really be looking at things like this. Does he want a successful trophy laden career or a lot of money? also if he stayed wi us until 21 or so he'd have first team experience, European experience and then a much better chance of getting a move to actually challenge for a place rather than taking a leap of faith for a big wad of cash at 15.
