According to these stats he has 39 league goals in 63 starts,.... is excellent for a 20 year old (2 years older than Ryan Hardie).

Very impressive stats for a 20 year old...we signed a player once who as a 20 year old scored 41 goals in 46 appearances for his club...anyone remember who this was?

next on Warburton’s wish list at Rangers?

 

Rangers boss Mark Warburton had scouts watching Chelsea U21s take on Sunderland.

 

Rangers boss Mark Warburton told The Scottish Sun that he had scouts watching Chelsea U21s take on Premier League U21 league leaders Sunderland on Monday night.

 

Gers boss Warburton is a big fan of the loan system, evident from his time at Brentford when he picked up Alex Pritchard and Jon Toral from Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal respectively.

 

At Ibrox, his mentality of scouring the best talent at the top clubs hasn’t altered and he managed to strike another deal with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, bringing in Gedion Zelalem.

 

The talented manager’s style of play is ultimately a huge factor when it comes to loaning in players.

 

When renowned coaches such as Maurico Pochettino and Arsene Wenger are happy for their youngster to join Warburton, it illustrates a trust and genuine belief that players will improve under his guidance.

 

And as such, there could be a great opportunity for Rangers to strengthen their squad further in January.

 

As reported by the Scottish Sun, Warburton had representatives watching Sunderland U21s at Chelsea and due to the latter’s huge squad, they are undoubtedly one club to keep an eye on.

 

Chelsea’s transfer policy in recent years has seen them invest so much money in youth, bringing in more players that they can handle prompting a good majority to immediately leave on loan.

 

Boss Jose Mourinho is seemingly happy for his youngsters to get game time elsewhere, and one particular player among his U21 ranks could be ready to test his abilities out on loan.

 

Warburton’s representatives would have seen Tammy Abraham heavily involved on Monday, as the 18-year-old scored one penalty and miss another as Sunderland U21s ran out 3-1 winners.

 

Abraham is predominantly a centre-forward, yet he is also capable of playing in wide areas and his versatility makes him a big threat in the final third.

 

Abraham has been a prolific scorer for the youth teams, netting 14 goals in 13 matches for the U21s this season after a whopping 41-goal haul over three different age groups last season.

 

He is an England U19 international, and scored twice in a victory over Switzerland last March,

 

Rangers have a prolific scorer themselves in Martin Waghorn, yet beyond the former Leicester City man they don’t have quite another player like him in terms of goals scored.

 

Kenny Miller is ageing, fellow loan star Nathan Oduwa is still very raw, therefore there is scope for Gers to try their hand at bringing in another attacking option in January – and why not Tammy Abraham?

Let's briefly look at the two forwards mentioned yesterday.

 

You have a 20 year old Latvian who was training with us and has scored 39 first team league goals and has already been the top scorer in his country over a season. IF he were to join he'd be our player.

Note that he is two years older than Ryan Hardie.

 

You have this speculation on the Chelsea lad TA and whilst it's distant let's consider the broader question.

He's 18, scores goals at development level and would be on loan for the rest of the season.

 

There is obviously an issue regards the level of the Latvian league but would the Championship in Scotland be that much better ? Looking at his goal scoring record and his age would suggest he will soon be too good for the Latvian league.

 

My contention and answer to the broader question is that when we have decent options, we'd be better bringing on our own players. To illustrate, IMO if the Latvian is considered a 'goer' then the likes of the TA (Chelsea) deal should be shelved.

No more loan duds please

 

I think it's a big ask for teenage loan players to hit the ground running in the first team of a club like Rangers, with such high and immediate demands. By the time some are coming to terms with it, it will be time for them to leave.

 

As time goes by we should have more of our own players that are good enough to push through the system, with the club being able to reap the benefits.
