Transfer Deadline Day: Michael O'Halloran signs until 2020

[Tannochsidebear 2,429]

Any chance we can keep this thread to what the title says and keep all other discussions to other threads. Seen there was over 20 added comments and thought we must have signed someone only to spend 20 minutes reading interesting but nonetheless irrelevant content.

 

Apologies to admin if I am out of order in this request

Seems that Zelalem is staying with is (longer than January):

 

“Gedion is staying with us. We talked to Arsenal, that’s an on-going process.

 

Warburton, meanwhile, has admitted that players could also leave Ibrox, although it’s not a scenario he envisages.

 

He said: “I don’t expect anyone to leave, but I’ve always said the what if scenario in football.

 

“If a big offer comes in for one of our players.

 

“What I do know that if any player leaves, it’ll be on our terms.”

Good stuff it's a marathon not a Sprint....

Would have been quite happy for the boy to go back to Arsenal. He has a chance to be a good player, but he needs to develop a killer ball and not take the easy option without looking at what else is available. Neat and tidy is a good grounding, but it won't be enough to become a top player.

 

Now that he is staying, I really want to see him push on and be coached properly in the areas that need work, and see some progress in the pace he works at, and his awareness of options, including shooting opportunities that he never seems to consider. He could be a valuable member of our promotion push if he progresses.

He certainly has a lot of potential and I believe he will become a top player. As you say he really does have to become more dangerous.

What gets me is if law and shiels get a run and cock it up some fans will be wanting young zela back...

I personally think the team struggle when he isn't in the team it would be interesting to see the stats with and without him playing?

I don't know his percentage successful passing rate is, nor his goal assists...I do know he hasn't scored for us though.

 

Maybe something can be taken from these stats, maybe not

I think our team is physically too weak just now and even more so when we get promoted!,this is Scottish football full of cloggers and poor referees and we will struggle when we get promoted.
