Wish all the lads the very best
He just didn’t improve the way he should have.Aidan Wilson the CB that made a couple appearances?
I would have guessed McAdams would be going in January, his contract was up and went the N.I league for game time.
Wilson I’m sure was in the same boat but rarely playing in the Scottish lower leagues.
I’m not sure if the others as I’ve not seen or heard much of Balde, McKechnie or Anderson.
Was Anderson not brought over from the states and thought to been a good prospect.
Not sure if there was a down payment but the deal could have risen to £150kDid we not spend over £100,000 for the Goalkeeper?
following the closure of 2020/21 season
No that’s Umaro Balde, Joao Balde is the one that’s leaving.Is the boy Balde the lad we only recently signed from Sporting Lisbon or somewhere like that?
I honestly think the club,and Craig Mulholland in particular, handle this type of thing magnificently. They go out their way to give these guys a glowing reference and to take care of them.
We really do have one of the best academies around now.
After all of the years of downsizing and cutbacks, the academy has only recently become top level again. We have some really promising young players right now.We really don’t.
Still waiting on one achieving anything in the first team.
2 Aidan’s and a Keiran? Staunch work Rangers.
In all seriousness I hope the future works out for them. I always thought Wilson looked a player.
We really don’t.

Don't you feel there has been too many strange and not so good signings and contracts at youth level,when will we see the fruits of the academy do you think elf.A couple of strange signings among the five in my opinion.
A goalkeeper Celtic were looking to get rid of and we managed to pay them a fee. A year older and not as good as Kieran Wright, thought it was a strange one.
An American who has hardly played and when he has played he has shown very little, including his trial period. Came from Philadelphia Union - Head of Youth at Philadelphia Union - Tommy Wilson - A favour ? Seemed bizarre.
Joao Balde came into pro youth pretty late from Spartans, probably did enough to justify a contract but not enough to justify another one.
Aidan and Kieran have been at the club since a young age and at one time or another looked decent prospects. Both have struggled with injuries, Kieran has hardly played in the past two years. Aidan struggled to play regularly on his loan periods, with injuries playing a part in that, now 21, time to move on.

The work we will do to help these boys find new clubs is fantastic and will really help when we try and persuade others to join our academy in the future
so freeing a player then find him another club will encourage a player to join are you serious chief
Yeah, we've been hearing this for years with every new 'crop' that is coming through. It's never really materialised.We really don’t.

Continue to work hard and one day you may come back and start for us. This is only the beginning and not the end
All clubs do the same..I think it shows that if it doesn't work out then they won't just be sent on their way so it is probably reassuring for young players to know that there will be support there for them if they get released
