gunslinger 270 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 When someone posted earlier they seen him in reserve,youth teams etc and he was always a stand out i was going to say about him being played left back for a long time but thought it was for another day!they played a reserve game, friendly i think v livingston. they asked andy haliday to run at him as much as possible. andy totaly destroyed him.

nvager 498 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 he is fast and direct, got pace. good cross, but still has a lot to learn. Given time he may well be a good one, but the jury is still out for now. He just needs time to develop. The great ones would have been further ahead - i.e. W. Henderson at 17.

real boydie9 17,992 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 He's a fantastic talent who will get better but I think he's got a bit to go before he's as good as McCann why we got rid of him is beyond me PS I dont really like comparing todays players to players of the past Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 That'll be why they were worried about taking him to Portugal last month.Oh you mean Neil McCann? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DietofWorms 2,067 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 He looks like a find...but he's a completely different type of winger than McCann.McCann was more a dribbler. Wylde looks more to push the ball into space past the full backs or get on the end of one-twos. If he gets the right service he could end up a very dangerous player. As I said in a previous thread he reminds me of the style of Marc Overmars (although has a way to go). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 A few bad games, a few mis-placed passes and this kid have the same bile thrown at him that our other players do. Why do we always have to make comparisons too with young players? Cant he just be Gregg Wylde, the Rangers left winger? And cant we just let him develop, let him play and see where the experience and games take him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERST1LLADIE 33 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 GReat at crossing the ball while running at speed. A lot of players have to slow or stop to put a good ball in but not this kid. GOnna be a great player for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think he's the current Greg Wylde. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOnna be a great player for usCould he do this at speed on the right wing???Reason i ask is that Smith has played him in his favoured position and he has ripped the defenders to pieces with his direct running and crossing.Why does Weiss struggle on the left i wonder when running at full pelt?

sdunsmb 43 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, he does have the pace, so who cares? You could easily say if Xavi didn't half the passing, he'd be binned - so it's a silly argument.Exactly, imagine Walcott without pace..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
