Would be quite happy to see him go out on loan,for two reasons really
Firstly in all fairness he has come nowhere near the level of performance that he was supposed to be able to achieve. The hype was not deserved and prob really did not help his cause. For years we heard he was thr next great thing and i suppose he listened and believed the bull. He seems to have a swagger when he plays and we can see glimpses of his ability.
Secondly it would do him well to see that its not always greener on the other side of the fence. He thinks he has made the big time, i think he lost his appetite because he is making a comfortable living plodding away. The training facilities are great at murray park he shares the first team dressing room and all the other perks of a pro.
Regular football will be great for him his fitness will be far higher, his game will improve and so will his confidence. And he will come back a far better player.
Id just hate to see him fail to make the grade at Rangers then turn out great for another club.
Thoughts?

Evidently I exaggerated in saying he kicked a couple of balls. I was however making the point that we put far too much pressure on our young players after little success on the pitch. I agree that he looked very good on occassion and has plenty of time to develop. As I said I hope he gets a good move and comes back a more complete player.

The Cruising Avenger (U6395)
I get what your saying, but at 19 you would expect he to be pushing for the first team, but he is nowhere near that quality yet. Lafferty, Naismith, Davis (prob a few others) were all coming together at 19

Its hard not to hype up such a tallent.
Look at the Ferez situation and what was the American kid called.
We have no idea how they will go shi7 they are still boys still growing.
Give a Glasgow kid a grand a week when his mates are on the dole or at best getting a quarter of that and it takes a strong mind to keep the focus.
I think that where Fleck made his mistakes.
From what I hear from my tic buddies Ferez has his feet on the ground so he has a chance but its probably no more than 50-50.

If you are good enough you are old enough. It seems some "future star" just can't cut in at the first team where as others like James Forrest who were not stars in the peer group can cut the mustard at the step up.

fleck will come good. I agree, he needs a season loan. Even to somebody like st mirren would be good.

spot on murney and sheriff.
Whoever he goes to, it has to be a team who he will get 30 plus games for.

Sorry but hold on. I thought the championship was of a better standard than the SPL, or so everyone keeps telling me. How is he all of a sudden going to get a game playing for a top level championship side who are going to be playing for promotion?
