pcbear 10,924 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 What if he had held back on Chelsea he may well have been a first team fixture by now, I know he has had a few fleeting appearances for Chelsea but once their transfer ban is over the cheque book will be out again and getting anywhere near the first team will be pretty difficult for Gilmour, fair play to him for having a crack but I can see him out on loan to some championship team soon then seldom seen again anywhere near the first 11.

6superbarry6 14,159 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Don’t think he’d be able to handle the “physicality” up here yet, you just know the hammer throwers would have a free pass to kick him off the park every game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
don logan 8,076 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Don't think he would have been good enough to get in the current team. Would have been loaned out to MK Dons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very very young so a loan move seems likely but just depends on where he goes and how much he develops wherever he ends up, hopefully bulks up a bit and we make a move 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 577 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Can see him spending a couple of seasons on loan, doing well and then not breaking through at Chelsea. Back with us by age 25 👌 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo1872 4,065 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 A few years down there will set him for life. Hope he ploughs on 😎 would love to see him up here again but as has been said, he would get battered off less talented goons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,689 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Am sure hes asking himself that every day what if I stayed and become a Rangers legend under the guidance of a football icon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,647 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 He is 18 and making the odd appearance for the Chelsea first team and is receiving rave reviews in the youths whilst earning a fair whack. Highly doubt he has a single regret. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,610 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I watched him the game he played for Chelsea just kept things simple looked pretty average, he would still not get in our midfield at the moment. He could become a player yet but early days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,802 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 He's gone. I'm not saying fuck him, but he made his choice. We're a solid, experienced midfield without him. So fuck him 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt he has a single regret. I have heard we offered him more to stay than Chelsea were paying so it was not about wedge, he is a classy little player but 18 or not Chelsea will not stand still and will carry on hoovering up the best kids around and if a younger one is better he will be down the order, and once the transfer ban is lifted the ready made finished articles will be purchased. Regrets? maybe not right at the minute but give it a season or two of nothingness then we will see, don't tell me he is not watching the European games big scum games and not thinking that he could be slap bang in the middle of that lot.

jjbscotty12 3,560 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 His career would probably be over if he stayed here due to one of the leagues many hammer throwers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little or zero protection for technical players up here. Kinda holds us back on the international front, any environment that allows the likes of porteus to thrive is incompatible with developing and improving the game.

Laudrupsleftfoot 11,008 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 He'd be an absolute superstar for us, technical ability is off the scale for our level and the so called hammer throwers wouldn't be able to get near him.

bluenoz 30,943 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I haven't really seen much of this kid but if Lampard has him on the fringes of the first team then he must be really good. Still only 18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen I'm sure it hurts him like fuck, if he came out and said 'look I made a massive mistake joining the scum, I'd forgive him, he could complement what we've got but his ego would never let that happen, Hivs is his level now.

Billy (and his da, for one of them anyway) seemed sensible with his head screwed on and all out to do what he can to reach the top. Would love to see him on loan to us, not that I see it happening.
