When he turned 16 was pedro not the manager? That may have had a bearing on him leaving, it would've been hard to turn down Chelsea anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finny 5,482 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 All the best to young Billy and it's a shame we couldn't keep a hold of him but how much does it sum up Scottish football that this is the 1st player we have produced anywhere near competing in the premiership at his age or even prematurely I may add being world class. There are so many small countries that have produced world class players every few years. Scotland really is a backward country for producing talented footballers.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 You think we would use what has happened with Gilmour and realise that we need to be getting the likes of Kai Kennedy on the pitch now. We managed to keep ahold of him but apparently the likes Liverpool, Bayern, Man City and Roma were looking at him so he obviously has something about him. There is absolutely no reason that he shouldn’t be getting run outs from the bench now especially when it’s people like Barker, Ojo and Stewart who we usually turn to.

The interesting one will be how we handle Leon King. By all accounts he could be the next big thing. I can see him getting a run-out this season.

AGM_72 3,631 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Leon King should be getting game time now to see if he's capable. If he doesn't get any between now and the end of the season then you can pretty much guarantee we won't see him next season - not a chance he gets thrown in, untested in such an important season.

Once he sees pathway then that 2yr might become 4 or 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was discussed the other day and someone posted the other day that at the age of 16 a two year deal is the longest that can be offered, how true it is I don't know.

He was a classy player who could stand up to that, in hindsight I don't think a lot of us appreciated just how good he was. I think the standard of player he was brought in alongside is superior to what we have now. Not to mention we weren't desperately trying to stop them doing 10 in a row so managers could take a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aird 3,774 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Due to clauses stuck in the youngster's contract when he moved from Ibrox to Stamford Bridge, Gilmour has already earned the club an additional £250,000. Rangers received this when the Scotland U21 international made his full Blues debut last year. The Post say that they will earn the same amount once Gilmour completes ten starts for the Blues. Other bonuses will take the full total to well over £1million. However, the most significant nugget for the Gers, is that they reportedly have a 15% sell-on clause. According to the sun.

A foul in France is still a foul in Scotland Only difference there is that the likes of France and Holland are bringing through young players who are becoming top class players and therefore are bringing French and Dutch clubs high income from transfer fees. With very few exceptions, Billy Gilmour being the classic example, this isn't happening in Scotland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That if true will be an excellent clause, if he carries on to have a spectacular spell at Chelsea and Modric's legs run out at Madrid Gilmour could earn us more as a sell on than any player we have transferred😃 All tongue in cheek.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The lad interviewed at the end of the game. Becoming a bit of a personality down there being so young and playing so well. Lampard singing his praises of him again. 18 means nothing to me says Lampard. Plays in the middle of a midfield three and they bossed it says the pundits. Our midfield three are obviously doing something wrong. Well done that lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
