He’s been playing regularly. I think it was just a case of rotating the team whilst they have a lot of games.

craigkillie Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think we can safely say that Hepburn is going to be nowhere near making it Bayern if he is being loaned out to the Scottish Championship as his first port of call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been stuck in the u19s most of last season and barely got a look in for BM II. Typically, the players that make it at Bayern make the move from the second team to the first at around 20, so I don't think it's going to happen for Hepburn there. Morrison is potentially still in with a chance. No shame in not making it at Bayern mind, hopefully he can get a move that's good for him. He's definitely too young to write off from a Scotland point of view. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Scotland captain did a season at Queen’s Park when he was the same age. Ended up at a better team than Bayern. Too early to write him off either way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about saying he's not going to make it as a player, it's about the chances of him breaking through at Bayern being extremely small. And I think that is the case now. Even a stellar season in the Scottish Championship is hardly likely to make Bayern think he's ready to go into their first team squad. Hepburn will probably have to take a step back to take two steps forward. Andy Robertson is the example to follow for players in that position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the guarantee of minutes must’ve been a factor in this and considering he’s only been playing youth football until now, that’s got to be a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afca32 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The chances of any player coming through the Bayern youth system are incredibly low. They have Musiala and Stanisic currently making an impact, but the latter is 23 and has only played 40 games there (he only broke into the second team at 19, similar to Morrison for example). Muller is also still kicking around. Before Musiala you're probably going back to the early 2010s for the last time an academy player properly broke through with the likes of Muller, Kroos, Alaba and Holger Badstuber (maybe Diego Contento too who was a back up left back for a few years), unless I'm missing anyone obvious. The chances of Hepburn, or Morrison really, making it at Bayern have always been pretty slim but I'm sure they'll have had an incredible experience and should be all the better for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The Queen's Park move is a strange one, you would think a good few teams in the premiership would have had him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens Park can probably spend as much as the lower end of the Premiership and teams at the bottom end won't spend decent money on untried boys to get them out of relegation battles. Hepburn has so little actual football experience that nobody can really set a bar for him right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QP are making a big deal of their environment, the type of football they intend to play and also the exposure they will guarantee for players. This is possibly a part of the agreement with Munich and the player which allowed it to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jives Miguel Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 While on the subject of the Bayern Scots, a few comments from Wigan fans on a forum of theirs regarding Liam Morrisons first few games for them: "Clare was good again and Morrison looks a great find, there'll be championship clubs kicking themselves." "Morrison - excellent again but probably not getting the full credit he's due because Hughes has been so impressive. Stong defensively and good on the ball. Looks so mature for a player making only his 3rd senior appearance." "Hughes was fantastic and Morrison looks a great find, they played well together." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks ever so slightly lightweight when taking a man on IMO but incredibly tricky on the ball, he's going to give plenty of defenders a torrid time this season. Scored against Arbroath on Saturday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Sunday Mirror saying that Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal all preparing bids for Hickey and that Brentford want circa £50 million for him.
