Norwich going by the Athletic
Do we actually have a sell on clause with him? Seen various saying yes but I thought initially that we didn’t
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.Don't get me wrong mate, i'd take him in an instant.
But I think he will want to play either in the EPL week in week out or in Germany, Spain, Italy.
It'll be about the standard of league - that rules us out.
Would love to be proved wrong, but i just can't see it.
YeahNo. He was never even professional with us.
Playing in Scotland supposedly toughened James Madison up.I agree,apart from the CL, what's he going to profit playing in this tin pot league
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.Sky suggesting Norwich in talks with Chelsea at the moment
Keeps him in the EPLNorwich 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.
Might still happen but what teams down there would need him on loan other than the promoted sides or the usual strugglers?Surely there are better offers than Norwich?
think the stumbling block would be he wouldn't love to play for usWould love to see him play for us. Big ask to get to the CL though. Whens the final playoff game late August? Would not give us much time to get him in.
If this was 1996 then I’d agree.If the Scottish league is good enough for Laudrup, Gazza, Van Bronckhorst, Albertz, Mols etc then it's good enough for Billy feckin Gilmour!
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.If we make CL group stages why not? He could potentially play 10+ European games and be involved in a title race. Much better environment to play in that in a relegation dog fight.
I wouldn’t rule us out.
Add in Italy, Holland and France, even Portugal to lesser degrees and I’d agree.He should go to Germany or Spain and become even better
Yet another thread about us taking a Chelsea player on loan to develop him for them, lovely
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 thatIf we make CL group stages why not? He could potentially play 10+ European games and be involved in a title race. Much better environment to play in that in a relegation dog fight.
I wouldn’t rule us out.
100% we have add ons as per the official website said when it was announced he was going, did that include sell on clauses then who knowsNo. He was never even professional with us.
Usually it’s Pornhub that gives me an erection at this time of night.
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.Just read that, not much substance to the article, I think he should stay where he is, chances will come and I'm not sure a season with Norwich would help his development.
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)If he goes out on loan Chelsea will be asking a fortune for the year.Definately £5m+.
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.If the Scottish league is good enough for Laudrup, Gazza, Van Bronckhorst, Albertz, Mols etc then it's good enough for Billy feckin Gilmour!
I would prefer it not to happen great talent but we dont need a loan player playing 35 games who made the decision to leave anyway. We are in the position now where loans should be less frequent
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.Norwich ffs what a poor move that would be
