West Ham would be good option, I think Moyes wants to play Rice further up. A doubt Rice will score or assist too many as a CF. Which won't please many apart from G51 - who'll be fully onboard the 'Rice over Kane' Euro21 campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBurnie is his man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think there's no chance of that. Really? Worse move than the Indian super league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll no doubt show up in a minute with "I didn't say that" type noise. His hot take from earlier this week is Aberdeen are the 5th best team in the SPL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hot take from earlier this week is Aberdeen are the 5th best team in the SPL. In fairness if@G51 show us or not, he still advised et al on Forum that McBurnie should be first on teamsheet as CF, due to his exemplary prowess this season of 16 games with no goals or assists. A manager's dream! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same accounts that say he's left his last two jobs because he's not been given complete and utter control over transfers in/out and contract renewals. Sky linking Gilmour with Southampton this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky linking Gilmour with Southampton this morning.If it were guaranteed he'd start most matches then this would be a great move. David Ornstein said he expects Gilmour to stay at Chelsea but has kind of gone back on that. Not sure if he's just trying to save face though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 19 and he's breaking into the Chelsea team, and the new manager has watched him for a week and apparently gone from "telling him he can leave" to "wants to keep him around as he's impressed". Only Scotland fans would look at that situation and think "this is a disaster". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out to be play for another team as a regular starter is much better than "being kept around". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cover on his bench yesterday - Right wing back (James). Left wing back ( Chilwell). Centre defence (Zouma & Christiansen). Centre midfield (Kante). Attack (Pulisic, Giroud, Havertz). Jorginho, Kovacic, Kante, Gilmour. These are his 4 players for those 2 positions in the team. Next time he might have both Gilmour & Kante and have one less defender or attacker or maybe he will lose a midfielder to injury or suspension. Gilmour is in very good company. He would be stupid to move, they would be stupid to let him go. Chelsea have 3 weeks to gel, to play as a unit, as a team because in 3 weeks they play Atletico Madrid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's working with great coaches and training with great players at Chelsea. I just can't agree that he's better off elsewhere when the manager clearly likes him and wants to keep him around. A gaffer who was praised for how he brought youth on at previous clubs too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loan move to Southampton would likely have him playing regularly. Im not sure if having this opinion makes me a typical scotland fan or not. Just a sensible scotland fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can train with great players every day but if was went to another EPL team he is playing against great players most week. It's hard to justify taking him to the Euros because he trains with good players. We need him playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Some players are good enough to be fast tracked into the Scotland squad. Darren Fletcher hardly kicked a ball for Man Utd and he was playing for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
