GOAT 30,449 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 A boy that just started in my work was on our books until around two years ago. Anyway, I was asking him about our youth and this is some of the information he gave me.He was surprised Fleck hadn't made it yet, but has been told he has an attitude problem since he left.Says that if it wasn't for Wyldes pace he wouldn't be up too much.He reckons Andrew Shinnie was a fantastic player when he was there and thinks he'll make it.Kyle Hutton will be fantastic player the older he gets.Andrew Little is shite, and he reckons the only reason he got a contract before him was because he could play a number of positions.He reckons Steven(?) Stirling and Jordan McMillan could make it. Infact he said Stirling was brilliant when he was there, but I know nothing about him.He also said Charlie Adam and Pedro Mendes were the best trainers! Darcheville hardly trained and spent most of the time on a bike, and Weir never trained every day.He told me a few other things, but I can't remember it all. If it all comes back I'll post it in this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Cheers for sharing. Some of the stuff like Weir hardly training and Adam being one of the fittest I'd heard before.I personally think i'm the only person that doesn't rate Fleck.Disagree with him on Wylde. I know he is pacy, but I think he's good at beating a man and whipping in a good cross.Agree with him on Kyle Hutton too.No idea about the rest.

ScottBF2 3,540 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Little must be at least a decent player if Walter wanted to play him in an Old Firm match though, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no choice, I remember the day well. I think Broadfoot ended up at right back and Papac went to center half when Little pulled up after 20 minutes.

MisterC 11,806 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Sorry but I dont rate little, yes he is versatile but he isnt that great to be honest. I think too that Hutton will make the grade, he's a good 'un. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlippinEck 3,518 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Id like to think some of those players he mentioned will have improved in 2 years, otherwise they would have been given the chop like the likes of Steven Lennon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 That's what I thought as well.TBH, I don't think he is. He's fell away from the game by the sounds of things. He went to a few clubs after Rangers and was promised contracts by them all and they never happened. I think his last club was Clyde. He plays junior football now, I can't remember the team.His names William something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
