Whats the point in taking any risks in a type of match where we're notorious for fucking up? Gauld will be waned in, as will the rest of the younger players, over the course of the next three years. This is how it works. You don't have a squad of 23 who all vanish at the same time and need replaced. the same gibralter that finished the tournament with 0 points, 2 goals scored, 56 conceded and bottom of the group, you honestly dont think we could have taken the best 4 from the u21's, played them alongside 7 experienced players and still won the game?

I think we would of won the game yes, but considering Strachan was, virtually, one goal away from taking us to the Play-Offs and folk are screaming for his head, do you think it was worth his time taking any form of a gamble in that type of game? He used it to try different things with the players who'd be playing the rest of the qualifiers and potentially the Play-Off games, thats far more useful than giving Gauld five minutes when we're already leading by five goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny131 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 We were not 1 goal away from qualifying. Also looking at the euros as a whole the Russians were rank rotten and squad was oldest there. Yet they would still have roasted us. Youth being brought in now may not be the answer but it's a question we don't really know the outcome off or will. But 1 thing we all know is asking the same dross to try again will end in abject failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer at least has to be at least somewhere between the two , no young players at all for the qualifiers and somehow hoping the many time failures somehow do the business isn't going to happen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Loaned out to Vitoria Setubal (Portugese top flight): https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/ex-dundee-united-star-ryan-gauld-loaned-sporting-cp/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Seems like a good idea to go on loan in the same league. As someone said previously they would only loan him to the championship if they were looking to get rid, whereas they obviously want to see if he can do a job for them. Interested to see how he gets on, hopefully see him on BT who have decent coverage of the Portuguese league iirc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Good move for everyone. Sporting, Vitoria, Scotland and Gauld himself will benefit from this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faddy88 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Same place they loaned João Mario and Ruben Semedo to. Hopefully can follow what both those guys did and come back and win a first team spot. Edited July 20, 2016 by Faddy88 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAVIDB69 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yes good move and let's hope he gets some game time much better than going on loan to some shite like Rotherham 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggisbeastie Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Could be back at Sporting in December, to play for their first team, assuming he gets games and does well for Setubal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 decent move for Gauld - would have been disapointed if he had went into the English Championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hopefully he get's some first team games. Agree England/Scotland return would be a backwards step at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggisbeastie Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 He has been loaned for up to a season, with no buyout option for Setubal. The are building him up like they have players like Joao Mario, who is a 40 million target these days, seemingly. Sounds very positive & he will be hopefully in a position to get into Scotland squad again shortly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds all very well and good but for every Joao Marie they've loaned out how many guys have they loaned out that went on to have average careers? I'm not getting my hopes up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
