If Gerrard was here a year earlier, maybe have convinced him to stay. Probably be starter for us as well. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah tbf given the choice was between being coached by a guy talking bout Caravans or going to one of the best youth academies in the world plus having the back up of a private education i think it's understandable why he left (Particuarly given the state we were in at the time) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre 1,663 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It's hard to say how good he'd be if he'd stayed. I'm not convinced we'd have given him first team football any earlier due to the standard "too wee" mentality of Scottish football. I'm also not sure I'd want to see him getting halved constantly by the hammer throwers we play against. I've almost no doubt being part of Chelsea's academy has improved him vastly over the last 2 years though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,524 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Even if he stayed and was fast tracked into our squad, later that season he would have been playing alongside Russell Martin and Declan John, getting pumped 4-0 and 5-0 by them, and returning to a greeting Murty in the dressing room. It could have fucked his development and ruined his confidence. He made the right choice. It's a shame we were such a fucking shambles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 You would think this was the new Messi the way folk go on about this boy, surely if he was that good he would be in their first team, just like an even younger Messi was scoring for Barcas first team.......

Have you been drinking? That “piss poor” Chelsea side are sitting top 4 and top of their Champions League Group. Not to mention having midfielders like Kante, Jorginho, and Kovacic.
