hi fellow bears
a good result for the boys tonight 3-0 at home to dundee that's more like it delighted for them wish rangers would put up more on their pages about them though e. g twitter or something i could only find it on the dundee twitter page?

I agree, I like hearing about the youth team but sometimes struggle to find how the game went and who scored. I'd like to have all the stats.

07 Dec 2016 12:07:10
As we have pretty much no money, but are demanding that the club goes out and buys a goal scoring midfielder or a new defense or a striker that can actually score. I would like to take a moment and point a few small pointers out. Warbs is supposed to be changing the Youth set up. the same youth team that tore apart Hearts 5-2 the other wee. There was one young attacking midfielder who scored from 40yards and a striker who took the match ball home with him. If we are supposed to be living within our means and developing these young wee players, surely it is about time to see wee Liam burt and Ryan Hardie in the starting XI?

07 Dec 2016 12:55:11
But are they ready for the jump up to the first team? Burt is only 17, you'll see him a lot more next season. Warbs does rate him highly. Hardie on the other hand, well I've never seen enough of him. I'd wait it out and see how he does on the rest of his loan before commenting to much about him.

Teddyof the south. when did the youths beat hearts 5-2? I can't find it anywhere. i only see the 2-1 victory of two weeks ago.

07 Dec 2016 14:25:44
Im not 100% convinced being at st mirren is doing anyone any good they're hopeless rather they were with an other side who are winning some games even if it was top half of league one.

07 Dec 2016 14:28:47
Johnny G they done it on Monday.

07 Dec 2016 15:18:25
Im sure it was burt that scored it, have a look on twitter sure its on there.

07 Dec 2016 15:45:39
Hurt scored 2 and hardie got a hat trick, that was after going down 1-0 early on in the match, I think that's them putting a few win together now.

07 Dec 2016 15:58:41
The youths that are highly regarded train with the first team when they can. Flinging them straight into starting XI would be foolish and would hinder their career more than progress it. They have to develop physically.

07 Dec 2016 20:35:24
Scotty I do not think putting the youth players in the team would hinder them it is only going to wonders for there development going to teams that are not playing well is going to harm there development
These two Pacific players are more than good enough to be in the team why at rangers does it take us so long to give youth players game time down England the motta seems to be if there good enough it doesn't matter about there age they get put in the teams and other clubs in Scotland do this we are lacking behind on giving youth a chance instead buying players that are not much better than these young lads these young players will end up leaving to further there career.

You seriously can't compare the kids down south to the ones in Scotland! They are cherry picked from all over Europe. Our kids aren't. Look at the Man City side that just beat Celtic. They are all big strong, physical specimens from all over .
Unfortunately our kids just aren't ready! The ones who are ready or could have been ready all went down south already after being cherry picked. The Celtic "wonder" kid will be at Man City very soon and fingers crossed our lad getting all the attention isn't taken. He has a very good chance but again he is very small and immature in stature. An fully grown adult would hurt him in a challenge. He needs protected.

07 Dec 2016 22:43:05
I agree. If they are good enough it shouldn't matter what age they are. Give the boys a chance. Get them experience and let's face it, we like all other Scottish clubs are 'selling' clubs. Process should be to get them into the team. Be part of a successful run for the club and then sell them on for a good fee. That's the business model nowadays. At least that's what it should be. Good to hear there's a few decent prospects but would like to hear a bit more reporting on development teams.

08 Dec 2016 01:05:50
It really has nothing to do with their age, 16, 17, 18, etc and everything to do with their physical and mental development. Some boys are ready quicker than others, but on average (including in England) boys will be more prepared to challenge and to play senior football by about 18 or 19. Burt is only 17 and still physically looks like a kid. Hardie might be pushing after the new year if he keeps doing what he's doing. Ian Durrant and Barry Ferguson, two exceptional talents, were 18 when they broke through, so we need patience with these lads, not pressure put upon them before they're ready.

08 Dec 2016 12:54:52
are they better than Miller or Rossiter? No. Then why would they make the team?

08 Dec 2016 13:04:59
Great call Teddy - surely hardie and burt must be due a start.

07 Dec 2016 06:06:24
Can't believe I'm seeing people say sell windass. He's by far one of the most exciting prospects we've had in a while. Give him time, he'll get fit and he'll get back to regular football and only improve. Selling him for £1m or £2m would be a disaster. Give him time and we'll be talking £4-5m. Same with Rossiter. Patience Bears, it's been 6months. Follow Follow. In Warbs We Trust.

07 Dec 2016 08:06:22
He's going nowhere, why would we sell the only player who has looked good this year?

07 Dec 2016 09:54:25
Oh he will be going somewhere if we are offered 1 million to 1.5 million we have no other means of income.

07 Dec 2016 10:08:57
Coz we're skint that's how we'd sell him if the money was offered. plain and simple.

07 Dec 2016 10:37:21
1-2 million is a disaster what planet are you living on? A 200k investment to tenfold over a six month period? Exact same with Rossiter. I agree with you in the sense that we should be investing in the future but we can't make that kind of money anywhere else. Rossiter would have cost at least a few million anywhere inside England as would Windass and that's why they command this fee. They haven't actually improved as assets in that sense, from a board perspective it's a very easy flip considering both haven't got off the injury bed yet. With Barton's wages, the two out-going players (Rossiter and Windass) for an exaggerated estimate of 4m total, would allow us a further 55k a week on the wage bill. This could allow us to bring in a quality player but that isn't how Warburton approaches the transfer market. The wage will 100% reinvested but who would we acquire for that kind of money that would actually benefit us? Baring in mind Championship clubs can but 15m+ for players meaning our market is even worse.

07 Dec 2016 19:25:15
You should do well on the sale of windass, 3/ 400k is a healthy return.

08 Dec 2016 12:00:23
Does he not have a 3.5mil buy out clouse?

07 Dec 2016 01:12:01
Would anyone take Stephen mallan, looks a good creative player.

07 Dec 2016 08:05:53
Yes 100% goalscoring midfielder who can only get better. Pop along to hibs and bring Jason Cummings with him.
