Seemingly Billy Gilmour offered £10k a week from Chelsea once he turns 16. Fee around £500000. Hope it's not true as we really need our best youngsters to come through.

Hope this is yet another nonsense rumour and if there is any truth in it the boy let's hope the boy and his family foresee that having a real chance to break into the Ranger's team next season is far preferable to being shipped out on loan for season after season by Chelsea or playing in their Under 19s.

Saying that it would be difficult turning down that kind of money at such a young age.

If he goes to Chelsea he could languish in the reserves for years or even disappear off the radar altogether. At least at Rangers he might have a chance of first team football and a bigger pay day in a couple of years so long as he can force his way into the team.

Course he's going to go for that money. Hopefully add a sell on fee. But how do you even find out this information? Nonsense

The last I heard was we offered him a 4 year contract but his dad has said he wouldn't commit to any more than two years at a time

Eezyeez. He'd be going on a free with compensation being paid to Rangers so no sell on fee could be added.

The boy Gilmour is just that, a boy. We are getting our knickers in a twist, he is a prospect although and a good one at that. John Fleck was going to be the next best thing but his career did not hit the heights expected. If we can tie him down to a four year contract great if not let him move on after all the club is bigger than Gilmour. If MW genuinely liked to give youth a chance then Burt would have made more substitute appearances giving the likes of Gilmour encouragement to stay longer.

Reading all the posts on this WHEN do any of our kids get a change at Rangers at best 3 sit on the bench then the usual suspects get there 60 min sub appearance money!

Well said Bongo, if we don't have a defensive midfield player or holding midfield player in the youth team that warrants a shift when the one thing we don't have right now is a fit player for that role, then we rally are in a worse state than I thought!

The use of the word "Seemingly" implies to me that this this "rumour" is made up. Seemingly!

It's not a rumour, Chelsea really want Gilmore, I just hope he stays with us. even for a couple of yrs, because if he really is good, he will get his move anyway

All I'll say regarding this is Feruz. Take note any young promising players.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and IF Gilmour goes on to be the player coaches think he will be then Rangers must take a gamble. If Cheeses are offering 10k a week then if we offer Gilmour 6-7 even 8k a week on a 2yr contract then it makes sense IF teams like Chelsea are still interested we could sell him on for a decent profit, anything over 1m after 1yr would see a good return, BUT the money some top teams are paying for talented young players is mental so 1m is a very low number if the boy is good AND I think he would stay if we could offer him a deal close to Chelsea's BUT it is a gamble and one I think we should take the money we would get now compared to what we would get after he signs is night and day. Thoughts Bears?

If we have no DM to bring into the first team from the youth squad the only other option might be another player on loan from the EPL.

Good point Copland 1, or if there is money available, (unlikely I know), maybe we could buy one that is out of contract in the summer!

Any thoughts on who we could get on loan?
