minstral 5,375 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Will be the next superstar of British football. John Fleck, Scotland's next great hope, continues to attract attention from Europe's major clubs. Barcelona were one of 27 clubs represented at yesterday's Under 19's 3-0 victory against Kilmarnock. Sevilla, Valencia, AC Milan, Manchester Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal were also in attendance, with their focus of attention on the brilliant young Rangers forward. At 16 years of age and with the build of a certain Wayne Rooney, Rangers have already tied him to a 3 year professional contract. Sources within Ibrox believe that the future sale of Fleck could gross as much as it cost to build their Murray Park training centre in 2002. Extract from todays Scotsman.

Jimenez 1 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Walter needs to take a leaf out of Wenger book and blood these young talents into the team That's all very well, but our fans demand success here and now Arsenal went through a spell of poorer performances to reach the stage they are at now The Rangers support won't show that same level of patience I think we'll see two or three getting a run out against East Stirling Smith is in a dificult situation where he has to develop these youngsters, as nurturing youth will be a big aspect of Rangers F.C, but the support wont tolerate losses in the SPL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, Everton had nothing to lose We are in a two way battle with our fiercest rivals for the SPL, it may well come down to one point Not the time to be experimental I hear what you are saying and agree to a certain extent, but we have to pick and choose what games our youngsters will feature in carefully Totally agree with your second sentance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets take a gamble - get him in ................ IF he is good enough! I have not seen him play. From what I've been told he still has a wee bit to go yet before being ready for first team action England had the advantage of seeing him play in the EPL thanks to Evertons not so big gamble so it really wasn't that big a gamble to pick him for the England squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a time for taking massive gambles The youngsters should only be getting a run out against lesser opposition like East Stirling When we are winning convincingly Or when the league is done and dusted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
