HMFC86 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Maybe why they’ve been reluctant to sign another keeper if they see him as a number one in the near future. Anyone seen much of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Great news. I'd been saying we should have been looking at Zander Clark, but if the Gordon rumours are true, we could potentially bring Gordon in to help coach Stone and have him playing semi regular football by next season? 2 years only takes him to 19, so would hope we'd be looking to get him signed up longer with some sort of handover from Gordon to Stone.

Beast Boy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That's good news. Hopefully keep him a good deal longer than the two years. Always feels as though clubs have too much access to rival clubs' youngsters these days. Although obviously it's something we do to smaller clubs as well. Just wish we were able to bring through really good players knowing that you would get to see them mature in to first team regulars every time. Ah but for reality though, I suppose.

Just a quick question, as you seem to know a bit about him; is he quite small for a keeper? Looking at him in the photo next to Levein, he looks quite wee.

Morph Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Seeing players like Cochrane and Hickey making a big impact in the first team will no doubt make us a good option for any younger players. I'm not a fan of him as a manager but the management of the academy has been great since Levein has been here and we're starting to see some really good prospects coming through. They'll never all work out but it's still encouraging to see it producing players who can play at this level.

rudi must stay Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Very good news, in the past we've lost guys to other more lucrative offers. Levein in the photo with him, at 17 that's interesting and maybe shows our hopes for him. 2 years, do well for the reserves then ready for a new deal and maybe the number 1 spot. That's maybe the plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein gets a lot of stick, some of it rightly so but we're begining to see the fruits of the his labour over the last 5 years. Next season we could very well see Morrison, Cochrane, McDonald, Irvine, Smith, Hamilton, Stone, Hickey coming into the first team. Even if the majority only make a handful of appearances thats still pretty significant. Future is starting to look very maroon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As harsh as this may sound, we need cautionary tales. The grass is not always greener. Its frustrating because history seems to repeat itself all too often in this regard. I honestly believe Levein and his team do care about the lads welfare and they are actively trying to do their best by them (Carrick & Beith coaching roles for example). Instead of blindly following their agents advice, its maybe better following the advice of a man who is striving to build a strong foundation centred around youth development (and therefore its not in his interests to poorly advise players as will negatively impact reputation).
