Don’t think the term ‘journeyman’ is fair on any of those mentioned considering not many of them are actually journeymen.Well done to the young lad.
You just wish he was given a chance.
Wider point, giving money and time to journeyman like Polster, Flanno, Ejaria, Andy King, Ojo etc over guys we have in the academy is so disheartening.
Why "trust" players like the aforementioned over a young player? Fear, probably, but you have to be braver than that. Give them a chance.

Most I mentioned were punted about on loan or transfer every year/6 months.Don’t think the term ‘journeyman’ is fair on any of those mentioned considering not many of them are actually journeymen.

Being a young guy going on different loans doesn't make you a journeyman. That is like calling McCrorie and Middleton journeymen.Most I mentioned were punted about on loan or transfer every year/6 months.
Is that because Gerrard is sabotaging his own management career by not playing a player who has done massively well at Ayr United in the second tier or, because said player hasn’t demonstrated that he is a better player than others available for selection?He’ll be lucky to get 3 games under Gerrard, you can argue the rights or wrongs of that but it’s the truth
I imagine we’ll be looking at a higher quality loan move next then he’ll probably move elsewhere.
Woukdnt always agree with this, but in this case I see what you mean. All of the above had good and bad games, it would have been better for him to experience that. If young fans make mistakes we will be more understanding, it's harder to watch young players who wont be here next year make mistakes.Well done to the young lad.

Gerrard is a big fan of him. Gerrard also needs to put the best team out he can so I understand the fear of playing a youth player. If we had a league win under our belt we would have some breathing space.He’ll be lucky to get 3 games under Gerrard, you can argue the rights or wrongs of that but it’s the truth.

He may well get his chance with us now due to that loan spell at Ayr, getting game experience, doing well and toughening up. We will know soon enough I suppose but he is at an age where he will either be involved with the 1st team squad or released.Well done to the young lad.

Good luck to the lad.
Gerrard will look at him in pre season and then decide imo if he's showing up well them he'll be included Gerrard seems to like him by all accounts. You can see why as he's not a kick and rush midfield good technical ability and passer of the ball. If he's not quite ready a good spl loan wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at Livingston as we seem to have a good relationship with them regarding loans. If we're getting rid of a few midfielders like docherty Kamara possibly Mccrorie then he could well be includedGerrard is a big fan of him.

Only one left and he is no to bad a player.Wider point, giving money and time to journeyman like Polster, Flanno, Ejaria, Andy King, Ojo etc over guys we have in the academy is so disheartening.
Because the gaffer doesn't think he's ready for first-team football. Simple as that.Well done to the young lad.

If he doesn’t make the squad this coming season,and SG brings in another useless loaner,I for one will be calling for answers why.Said it for the past year or so that he is our best young player.
He is 20 now so getting near now or never.
Because the gaffer doesn't think he's ready for first-team football. Simple as that.
So he brings in 2 or 3 useless loaners instead.Because the gaffer doesn't think he's ready for first-team football. Simple as that.
