RFC55 108,957 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 A pretty nomadic career so far,being at big clubs but never really breaking through.Farmed out to everycunt and any cunt and never finding a "home"......sounds familiar.Technically he left barca for city. I think it was something mad like 60k pw he went for.Barca wanted to keep him.and city took him off them. From then on though I agree his career has spiraled Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If he is a good player with the right mentality and attributes for us Magic Hat will sign him, I think Partick Thistle are meant to have signed an ex barca youth captain like 1-2 years ago and I haven't heard of or seen that player since then, so just because he is ex Barca I wouldn't jump at him as it seems like Barca youth can produce some mediocre players too.Of course. Just like how a team like Queens Park can produce players like Andrew Robertson. Good players can come from anywhere. Just look how small NI is and they produced one of the world's greatest ever, George Best. A lesson on keeping your eyes peeled and having a great scouting system. You never know where the next superstar will pop up so it's best to have as many scouts as possible rather than the "system" we had employed under the last regime.

johanhentze 14,089 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 As mentioned in the article.. This tends to be the type of player who MW goes for. Tipped for great things and somehow lost their way a little.. MW could probably get the best out of him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat 4,511 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Interesting move - if a little from left field.Could be a cracking move for the player and the club if he has the right attitude and wants to progress under MW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson1872 2,923 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 A bit like Tavernier, in the sense that they have moved around a lot of clubs and haven't found their home yet. Lets hope he shows his potential and Warburton signs him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLawMan 6,240 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Sounds like a washed up injury plagued failed wonder kid like fleck.If he has the right attitude and is injury free I would take him tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Some players just need the right environment, the right manager behind them. Sounds like the Messi tag has weighed him down. Warburton and Rangers could be brilliant for him.I trust the gaffer to make the right call, nothing to lose, potentially a big transfer fee to gain.

We Will Follow Rangers 12,921 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Warburton probably knows him from his next gen days, wonder how many more players of that age he's aware of that haven't quite lived up to expectation for one reason or another? in this guys case it seems injuries have been a problem, the guy wont have lost the ability that attracted man c and barca, if he can get him fit could be an inspired signing.

Prso's headband 35,459 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Good to see hes getting a trail and not a contract straight away.

Sometimes likely they end up even lost to the game because they never made the breakthrough.There will be loads of kids like that in their early 20's who just need a chance, an injection of hope and an arm round their shoulder. Warburton WILL know a lot of kids like that from his NextGen days. It could prove a real benefit to us over the next few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he pulls these kind of signings off, then you are looking at significant resale values and more ofthen than not, free to get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinty 1,445 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I've never seen this boy play - so am unqualified to give an opinion on whether or not he would be a 'great', 'good' or 'poor' signing. The fact that he is currently unsigned would indicate that he is not in the 'wonder kid' class he once occupied. If he impresses whilst training with us, Warburton sees a place for him in the squad and mutually agreeable terms can be negotiated then that will do me. He is, however, a footballer and could break his leg tomorrow so forgive me if I don't get overexcited just yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If we can get him back confident then he is young enough to be a star for us maybe he just needs a home like a certain Great Dane Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Technically he left barca for city.

From then on though I agree his career has spiraledFrightening that boys,as young as he was and still not playing first team football,should be earning 60k per week.Feruz is supposed to be on a similar deal at Chelsea.No wonder the game is fucked.

Broxi 11,484 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hmm I mean yeah he's been at Barca and City but he hasn't really done much. I'd be more encouraged if he had more than 1 international cap as well.No harm in a trial, maybe he'll show why he was highly rated as a youngster Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to earn the right to play for Rangers for a change.Could be a good acquisition if the kid applies himselfTotally agree. I often think that players coming from Spain etc struggle with the pace and aggression of the game here, no matter how talented they are. Excellent to see the club using a trail period to properly suss out his fitness and suitability. We've definitely fallen into the trap before of signing people on name only, or people that are clearly injured. Love the way we are doing things under MW.
