The Moonster Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Slightly incorrect or will I prove you wrong on some of the players I have mentioned ? Put him on at list at 19 then b team. N then we can see when he breaks into the team? Like I've done for players I have mentioned See, you say that you don't want to see him fail then display confidence in the assertion that he won't break into the first team. And all you're basing that on is that some of the best players Sporting have ever produced were in the first team before Gauld. I have two questions: Why do you want him to fail? If you are adamant that you don't want him to fail, why are you trying to argue so strongly that he's shite when all of us have seen very little of him play, apart from when he was very good at Dundee United? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Where have i argued he is shite? Was a simple question , when do people think gauld will break into the sporting team? A tricky question it seems. I've seen zero of him playing for sporting b. So I don't comment to much is why I ask the question I also believe this thread was started in 2013 and I believe it was a few Dundee United fans said he would break into the team at 21. Of course it's a tricky question. How can you expect anyone other than the Sporting manager to know that? People have pointed out that Sporting will play him when he's ready and you keep coming back and saying "aye but when's that gonnae be?". We don't know, it might be never, but until the time comes that Gauld either a) breaks into the first team or b) gets moved on from Sporting, all of this discussion is largely a waste of time (which I'm actually okay with as work is a fucking chore today). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The answer is b. The discussion is a waste of time. Nailed it. Nae c**t has a clue. So let's just rubber him until he progresses from a b team to wherever ? What are your reasons for you being absolutely certain that Gauld isn't good enough for Sporting and will be moved on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I haven't said he would be moved on? Show me where I've said this. I've said he is now 21 and Dundee United fans (mainly) have said he would break into the team. So I asked do we think he will get put into the team? You then told us sporting puts players who are good enough at this age into the team. So should be exciting times He turned 20 4 months ago. He will make the breakthrough there at 21. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Brilliant. Good to hear. Do you think he will break into the Scotland squad? OF course. Any other stupid questions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Out of 8, 5 of them made it through straight away to which I stated. Have a look again and when you get a minute show me my mistakes . Valente 20 and Moutinho 18 as far as I can see. And you're only backing up my point with they rest, they certainly didn't all make the full breakthrough at those ages. And if you have a look you'll see plenty of decent players at Sporting who broke through at 20/21. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 OF course. Any other stupid questions? What's your views on Ian Cathro? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I think Billy Preston wrote a song about this shit... I haven't said he would be moved on? Show me where I've said this. We don't know, it might be never, but until the time comes that Gauld either a) breaks into the first team or b) gets moved on from Sporting The answer is b. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Decided to look at the first season that players currently involved with the Portuguese National Team made their "breakthrough" season (10 league games) with Sporting...Jose Fonte, Beto, Silvestre Varela, and Rui Fonte never managed to play ten games for Sporting before being papped out.Cristiano Ronaldo was 17Ricardo Querasma and Joao Moutinho were 18 Rui Patricio, Nani and Adrien Silva were 19Daniel Carrico and Miguel Veloso were 20Cedric Soares, William Carvalho, Joao Mario and Danny were 21 (Danny played 9 games before January then was sold off to Dynamo Moscow) So taking away Ronaldo, Querasma and Moutinho, who were all exceptional talents, he's on course. If he played ten games next season he'll be starting the season at 20 years old same as, or younger than, six current Portuguese internationals. Everyone needs to calm the f**k down.

The Moonster Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 This part You asked me to show you where you said Gauld would be moved on, I showed you. I have no idea what point you were trying to make with the second part of your post which is why I dingied it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 The point is we have no clue . Which makes your demands for knowledge on when he'll break through to the first team entirely redundant, and exactly what everyone was saying two pages ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Brilliant. Good to hear. Do you think he will break into the Scotland squad? No. Because Gordon Strachan's an idiot. Refuses to call up Rhodes or Douglas and won't call up Gauld unless he plays in the Champions League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 No. Because Gordon Strachan's an idiot. Refuses to call up Rhodes or Douglas and won't call up Gauld unless he plays in the Champions League. Rab Douglas is way too old and we've got three good keepers anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Jordan Rhodes is not what Scotland need. I've no idea which Douglas you mean, hopefully Rab as Barry is a terrible shout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Rab would genuinely be a better shout in goal than Barry Douglas at LB. Probably at LB too. Horrific shout. We've plenty LB's coming through/already floating about that I'd have ahead of Douglas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Barry Douglas who is playing for Konyaspor in Turkey (3rd in the Super-Lig) after playing for Lech Poznan who won the Polish Ekltralasa (or whatever it's called). He's better shout than Tierney who's played less than 35 first team games. Definitely deserves a call-up for the Scotland squad.At LB:Robertson > Douglas > Shinnie > Tierney Edited April 5, 2016 by Marr1 -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Have to admit it's surprising Douglas hasn't had any involvement whatsoever considering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
