Kirk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 If Harper and Gauld can both reach their potential, we could have some side in the next few years. I agree but feel Harper should move on next year if he isn't in the squad at lelast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I agree but feel Harper should move on next year if he isn't in the squad at lelast A loan move would be a better idea, IMO. Should add Calvin Miller into the equation. He is a class act too although a little younger than the other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 As said Madrid don't use their youth so leave when you can. Who is Calvin Miller?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Was far from Celtic's best player when they were up in Aberdeen for the Denis Law Tournament in the summer. I didn't see any of those games but he's the player that everyone around the club is talking about. Regan Hendry is the other. He's also been stand out in the few games I've seen him.

Cove_Sheep Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Regan Hendry was certainly the standout Celtic player for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan blood Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Apparently both Liverpool and Man City are scouting him. Long term, he probably should move away from Madrid but I can't see them letting him leave, this early, on anything other than a loan.

Blantyre_Braveheart Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Real Madrid rarely loan players out before they are 20-22. They tend to believe they'll do better in the B team (Castilla), which will hopefully be back in the segunda next season, they were recently relegated to the 3rd divison when Jese and Alvaro Morata stepped up to the main team. Real believe their players will develop better playing for Castilla and training with world class coaches in world class facilities. If he was at an English club I believe he would be better going out on loan at 19 but in Spain and playing for the B team I believe he's better staying with Real. If Jack Harper can follow Jese or Alvaro Morata and not go out on loan then break into the team in his early 20s, then who knows what kinda heights he can hit. ##Morata just left Real to go to Juventus for 20 million euros Edited September 23, 2014 by Blantyre_Braveheart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't really justify playing someone from Madrid's b team. (Same goes for Gauld) But the long term benefits to Scotland should be worth the wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 There was a report in a football magazine few years back that Real Madrid were planning to stop their process of snapping up all the best players in the world and concentrate of developing their own players (like Barcelona did and got major benefits from).... sure that was one of the reasons that the president of the club resigned in 2009 because he said the club and its youth set up needed a total over haul.

J o h n Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Not sure about that. Is the Real Madrid B team a worse level than the SPL? I'd give him a shot in a friendly (not yet like but hopefully at some point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHfaeGTA Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Blair Spittal, come on as sub for few DUFC games recently and scored one goal. Looks a player. Still only 18. Surely he should have a look in for this squad certainly before all those old firm players who are nowhere near their club's first team? Old firm bias once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old firm bias once again In fairness Tom Walsh is out on loan at Stenny, not the greatest team in the world but still first tea football. Walsh, after Telfer left is probably considered the most highly rated youngster at the club. Sinnamon is also very highly rated and I am surprised they never loaned him out, when they loaned 5 players out at the end of transfer window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHfaeGTA Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 yes and Spittal ahead of Telfer at Tannadice so far anyway, so if Telfer was Rangers best player, why can Spittal not get in this squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmcca5 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Surprised that he speaks with a Scottish accent actually. He shows plenty ambition anyway. That threw me when I played the video, I suppose that is the way he would have learned to speak English when he was a boy if his parents are Scottish. My laddies childminder said to me the other day that my boy says some words with a scottish bur and he has lived in England all his life.

runningtings Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Without getting carried away its really encouraging, he talks well, is obviously getting the best of training and coaching so there is no reason why he can't be a top player.

Just tried to find some information on the SFA website - what a disaster that is. The UEFA site is quite good now though http://www.uefa.com/under19/season=2015/matches/round=2000537/match=2013539/prematch/player-lists/index.html Looks like McManus pulled out and was replaced by Angus Beith. Don't understand why there are no Dundee United players in the squad. By my reckoning 5 players would have been in with a shout, but Spittal's absence is genuinely surprising.
