No. He was never even professional with us.
I agree,apart from the CL, what's he going to profit playing in this tin pot league, absolutely, it'd be great if he came back. Absolutely no doubt he'd make an impact and one wonders what might have been. I feel a bit gutted for Rangers and the fans that he didn't get his first contract with us.

Playing in Scotland supposedly toughened James Madison up.
Comes to us he plays for a team that is expected to win every game, is likely to have a run in either the Champions League or Europa League as well as the mentally draining matches against the coverups.

Norwich wouldn't be bad for him, they try to play good football. Probably won't win anything but he would enjoy the play, in my humble opinion.

Surely there are better offers than Norwich?
Keeps him in the EPL
Might still happen but what teams down there would need him on loan other than the promoted sides or the usual strugglers?
think the stumbling block would be he wouldn't love to play for us

If this was 1996 then I’d agree.
However time has moved on and if we were to take Rangers out of Scottish football you are left with shite.
In European football terms next season, I’ll bet we are the only Scottish team left in after November.
Our astonishing achievement of not losing a single league match last season has 2 sides or reasons for that.
1. We have a very very good team and management set up.
2. All other teams in our league are pish.

Because the English watched how we played football at the Euros and realised that sending their promising star back to 1976 to play football won’t help his development.

Add in Italy, Holland and France, even Portugal to lesser degrees and I’d agree.
It would be infinitely better for the player than coming to Rangers.
HOWEVER, I’m a selfish and greedy old qunt when it comes to Rangers so, I’d like him here, helping us to fifty-six and direct CL entry.
Then maybe we could by him!

The BG fixation on here is bizarre considering that he never even played for us. He moved on - maybe we should too.

If BG can help us win the league to gain automatic direct entry into the Champions League then a large loan fee would be worth it.

Sounds like his agent fishing
I can’t believe how negative people are being about him coming to us.
Coached by two of the best midfielders ever to play in England (Gerrard and McAllister), playing in Europe, playing in a title winning side, a side expected to win every week, getting regular game time, what’s not to like.

How on earth is he going to develop versus St Mirren or Motherwell? And as for Europe.....no guarantees unfortunately. Cant see Chelsea going for that

Problem is..,Chelsea with all their riches may not be the host for the young man to ply his trade. They have so much money that he will always be competing with a multi million pound signing. Harsh but he may never find his home there.
He's good enough right now that he shouldn't even be a loan consideration. I'm surprised he might be.

I'd consider paying a few Million for his loan fee . I think the Champions league reward would be absolutely worth the gamble (not really a gamble, wee fella is class)

The Scottish league wasn't good enough for any of those players though, they were miles ahead of everybody else in the league. They came because we paid them silly amounts of money, not because they wanted to get better at football.

Norwich ffs. He’s better than that, even if it’s only a loan. They’ll have their usual relegation battle and go right back down.

If not us, then hopefully Borussia Dortmund. Perfect club for bringing along young talent.

We should be sending out on loan or developing our own youth players in the first team, rather than another clubs IMO.

I'm bookmarking this thread to GIRUY when he signs for us on loan.
I'd love him back at rangers and anyone saying different are daft.

Only a loan to develop him: he won’t be playing in the championship next season if Norwich go down. He’ll start most games and it’s EPL which is where he seems to want to be. Tuchel apparently likes Farke and trusts him with BG’s development. And might do BG some good to spend time taking responsibility for a midfield (as he did with Scotland the other day). I can think of more exciting places to play (for us for starters!) but it’s not that daft a move.

Certainly won't be cheap having him on loan for a season.
As already said, he would be better going to Spain or Germany.

I have a long held belief that players going out on loan are done so as an insurance measure by the parent club. No manager really knows whether a player at, say, 18 will make it to the top of the senior game. It's a matter of getting a youth player minutes in the senior game at a decent level and seeing how he develops to the rigours of playing against senior pros. I realise BG is now 20, but the same applies. He's probably still too inexperienced to be trusted week in week out at Chelsea, but they want to hold his contract. Chelsea have been burnt a number of times by selling promising young players who couldn't quite make it into their first team regularly.

If Chelsea don't want a loan fee and if they will pay his wages then it is a no brainer that he comes back next season.
They could give him to us for free for a season if they feel guilty for getting him for so cheap.
If we have to pay a massive loan fee and his big wages then I don't think we should sign him, we would be better spending the money on signing a promising youngster who we can make money on by selling at a later day rather than loaning someone and having million evaporate into thin air.
But then some will say he might earn his massive loan fee and wages by helping us qualify for the Champions League, but that is a big gamble and probably not worth it.
