He's still technically a youngster for another 5 years! Expand It's what we do though. It's hard to imagine what fans expect Rice to do playing in a team that's struggling. He may show better qualities when surrounded by good, well coached players, just like his current manager did. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to Cammy, he knows. But don't worry because everything will work out apparently. It is straightforward, all we need is to get all the appointments and signings right. If only we had known that before. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we played our U20 team on next Sunday and they lost heavily, they'd be crucified and would be no way back for them. Glad you think exposing them to this is they way to develop them And you've yet to tell us which youngsters we should play and what they'd bring to the team. Or is it just any youngster? As for it being simplistic, your the one telling us we can't match them due to money - make your mind up Mr FlipFlop.

Expand There are four games left. Youngsters who are considered potential for next season should get significant game time, period. Rarely do we get opportunities (dead rubbers) to do so. When they arise, you should take advantage. Will that mean an under 20 team for the Celtic game, no. You have the secret to catch up quickly, you are a message board genius. I said we need to concentrate on becoming sustainable as a business. That is the secret of their success. We faff about trying shortcuts every year and get nowhere. Other than when they took their eye off the ball, appointed Lennon and badly fcuked up a transfer window. We weren't able to build on that because not being a sustainable well run business, we were broke. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our youth development is another failed part of thr footballing part of the business. Whisper it, there aren't any Barry Ferguson, Billy Gilmour or Nathan Patterson waiting to burst onto the scene. Well, unless you can tell us otherwise. The secret to their success is making the correct appointments (Lennon apart), getting most player signings correct, getting to CL group stages and having a player trading model.That, with 13 years continuing success gives them sustainability. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said was right now I dont see what he offers , we have loads of negative players who can play a square or backwards balls all day , probably a lot on here could.

Expand Rice is not a kid, he is eighteen and has had half a dozen apearances this year. Three in the league and three in europe and has yet to show anything that makes me think he could improve us. He is not blessed with pace, no great touch/skill and does not split defences with great passes. I'd like to see Nsio get half a dozen chances to impress. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
