Diamond Scot Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Based on previous records at Chelsea he has a chance of becoming an elite footballer. At Rangers he does not. He will also earn multiple times the money at Chelsea and have access to the best coaching and facilities. Again something he would not get at Rangers. This concept of getting first team football is a red herring. For a start he wouldnt at Rangers and even if he did it would be in a lesser league. If first team football is so important why not encourage him to go to Livingston or somewhere that he would play every week from day 1.

Why our top youth players are asked to play on that i've no idea. Because it provides an all-weather indoor surface perfectly suited to the modern skilful passing game the SFA are trying to cultivate? Aren't we always going on about Iceland and Norway and their fantastic indoor pitches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our elite kids should be playing on grass, partly to prevent chronic injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progress? As i say, no issue if it allows training when grass is unplayable. It shouldn't be used for tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
