Ethan Laidlaw from Hibs to Watford. Almost like he fancies playing football and didn’t get a chance at Hibs.

Are they? Clubs don’t have youth teams with strikers in them now apparently.

Could always offer a choice of actually playing proper professional football.

I never mentioned the Irish kid. Absolute pish that they’ll get a game if they are good enough. The top clubs are not bringing through strikers. You need experience of playing against better players to become better. Who was the last striker the Old Firm gave a chance to? They can’t afford to risk it now. Same in England. Out of the traditional top 6, I can only think of Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane coming through in about 10 years. One got a game because about 6 other strikers were injured (could have actually been more) and the other had about 5 loan moves before Tim Sherwood took a gamble on him.

I refuse to accept Scotland doesn’t have them. Other nations have clubs who actually give youngsters a game. SPFL clubs sell their young players at the first sign of a pound note. The majority are too scared to try young players from their youth teams. There is going to have to come a time when clubs are forced to play a certain amount of Scottish players.

I’ll leave this here.

He’s literally been in England squads and that’s where his loyalty lies. If he cared about Scotland, he would have been in squads years ago.

There was over 30,000 members last year.

Mikey Johnston to Vitoria Guimaraes on loan. Decent player in there. Hopefully he gets games and stays injury free.

David Bates to KV Mechelen

Dapo Mebude to Oostende. His brother Adedire has been linked with Club Brugge for the past few days too.

Chelsea letting Billy Gimour go to Brighton seems bizarre. A lot of their fans are not happy with him going.

Decent performance too

Another thread?

Great thread. what about them?
