The only issue with Gilmour is he could be technically brilliant and have a Hammer of a shot on him, attributes oozing BUT the lad still has a fair bit to go physically! Haven't seen the lad in the flesh only pics . So if he stays and he turns 16 do we think Pedro will give him game time in first team? Should he?

The chances of him getting clambered by a thirty odd year opponent would be devastating! Billy may want to know if he will get a shot next season and I know some players have made their debut as young as 16 I even think the lad Knox played for Livingston at poss 16 maybe 17 and I know Rodney did but he did look a lot more built than our Billy does! So do we pay the lad 7-8-9k a week knowing that he'll be playing Academy football next season as the risk ogre putting him in the first team may be too soon for him physically!

If Billy does decide to stay and I hope he does I hope he is truly confident in his ability and knows that he doesn't need to go chasing the wages Down South! I do think the lad would stay if we offered a package close to what Chelsea are offering. Hope we sign Billy up on a 4yr Contract AND put a minimum fee on him of at least 4-5 million.
This deal could also do a lot for King IF he sanctions this deal I for one will tip much hat as at end of the day its a gamble! Its knocking back 400-600k so if Billy stays then fair play to King. All he needs to do now is realise that he should communicate with the fans more and 1st up tell us where we are financially and how much he is giving Pedro!

Surely Caixhina would have been informed just exactly how much King would invest in HIM, Caixhina would not have took the job unless he was told that a minimum would be given to him but HOW MUCH? Do NOT tell us what we want to hear then hop on a plane to South Africa with his fingers crossed just tell us our situation and this is what we're doing because of it! Anyways thoughts Bears, will Gilmour stay? And how much do you think Pedro will have to spend?

He is tiny, even for his age. Still built like a boy, at 15 you can look as good as Messi, doesn't mean he will end up anything special.

Personally for the sake of 500k I'd love to keep the lad and get him involved in the 1st team next season, I totally get the point about not being physically strong but neither was Ryan Gauld and he looked pretty decent in the spl.
Even just training with the 1st team regularly will toughen the boy up then we can start giving him 10/ 15 minute cameos at ibrox and see how he does.
Obviously it would be a win win for everyone, us, Gilmour and even scotland if the boy can get regular football with us, then in 3/ 4 years pick which team he wants to play for and know that he won't have to go out on loan.
But if he moves now who can honestly blame him
