John Lambies Doos Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Right... let's get this one started. Half a million, 15 yrs old, signed for Chelsea... tipped to be the next big thing; where we seen that before.. Thoughts p&b ers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy2015 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Can't blame him for wanting to leave rangers it's a really badly run club but Chelsea had 24 players out on loan this season which is ridiculous UEFA / FIFA need to do something about it in my opinion. Scottish players that have done ok down south have generally got a good few games under there belt and first team experience before moving i.e. Mcarthur maloney mcarthey Robertson Dorrans Snodgrass Kingsley Naismith Hutton steven Fletcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Few loan moves await before being released. Vitesse, Bolton, some Belgian team, and Wigan are my guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Comparisons with Feruz are only relevant if Gilmour is a lazy waster with attitude problems on and off-field, a casual attitude to the law and delusions of grandeur. I predict by the age of 21 Gilmour will have accrued more first team games (whether on loan or otherwise) than his age, which is more than can be said for Feruz.

Lex Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think we've all learned over the past few years that it's a pointless exercise judging young players until they've made an impact at senior level. This kid might be the next big thing and a future Scotland captain, or he might never get a cap and be out the game by the time he's 21. The only way to find out is to wait and see.

lanky_ffc Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 As bad as Chelsea are for hoarding players, the majority of these guys still get game time at a decent level: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelseas-37-loanees-who-they-9780137 Also worth noting that Chelsea have won the FA Youth Cup in 6 of the last 8 seasons, so they must be doing right in terms of scouting and youth development.

Comrie Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Great youth set up down there, but the amount of talent Chelsea hoard is scary. He'll certainly get some useful time out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Without knowing much about the kid it will really all depend on his attitude and work ethic. If he's able to avoid the distractions and take advantage of the quality coaching he'll receive but if he (and his parents) have pound signs in their eyes and he gets an over-inflated ego then I fear that he will go the way of the Feruz.

We don't know if Feruz was always like that or developed those traits due to the obscene amount of money and flattery thrown at him at an age when most lads are still trying to work out who or what they are.

If it was a recent modification to his pesonality, he's had plenty of time to reverse it. I'll give Gilmour the benefit of the doubt. Having a father that played the game, albeit only semi pro, should hopefully help him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, not coming from as grim a background as Feruz (asylum seekers from Somalia I think?) might lessen the meteoric rise trajectory a bit.

resk Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 He's no John Fleck. Spoiler Hopefully. Inspired by this post, I looked him up to find out if he was still making a living from fitba, only to find he's at Sheffield United who'll be in the English Championship next year.... Don't even think about it, ya wee ginger fud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Coventry's player of the year last year and has been a big part of Sheff Utd's league win this year, scoring the goal that won them promotion and being a virtual ever present in the starting 11. If he keeps doing it in the Championship next year he will be knocking on the door of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
