What are we offering him on length of contract and wages?

The most the club has ever offered any similar player apparently.

Plenty dollar. Not that the club ever divulge such info

I'd like to have seen more of him last season and this, but fuck him. He seems a decent prospect but he's 18, done sod all so far and is only on the first rug of the ladder. Bit early in your career to be thinking above your station.

This is agent fuelled . Don't  want this kid to leave. Far too good  a prospect.

I agree it is likely to be agent instigated.I don't understand the vitriol aimed at the lad. I doubt atb18 he is calling any shots just doing what he is being told to do.

Agents = leeches

I think we have always been guilty of bigging up our youth players. Very rarely have they gone on to better things. RHM  hasn't done anything to warrant the blind faith. Think of Owen and Rooney at his age. Plus, he's acting like a right tit so he can do one if he's not prepared to commit to the club. Can't see him being missed. 

re you last sentence, we won't know since SB ain't playing him!

Do I remember correctly in thinking that the Arse showed some interest in him a while back? Or was that Andre Green?

The same as Man Utd about to buy Steven Davis or Gabby to Arsenal or whoever. It's all bollocks in these days of social media where one tweet can go viral and be believed.

Are we about to "do a Pogba" ?

[SoccerHQ]

It's a difficult one to judge given he's played so few minutes for us. I didn't go to Newcastle or Cardiff so have never seen him play live.

Who knows what was said behind the scenes pre season....if RDM told him he'd get a chance this season, he's put the work in on the training ground and 6 months on he's made two sub appearances and Gabby waltzes in ahead I too would probably be questioning if this was the best club to go forward with.

He clearly just wants to play....again maybe he pushed to go out on loan in August and was told to stay so he feels like he's wasted 6 months of his career. You compare it to Newcastle who've been loaning out Adam Amstrong to different clubs every season and he's progressing well.

I really don't think it's about money...if it is I have little sympathy. If it's for football reasons then I can see RHM's viewpoint.

So who was our last highest paid academy player?  Who was our last good prospect?  If he was from more than 2 or 3 seasons ago, with wages going up dramatically and with this filtering down to young players, it stands to reason that RHM would more than likely be our highest earning academy player ever.

'Highest earning academy player ever' is emotive language when facts and figures are not known.  It could be £1 more than the last and the statement would still be correct.  I should imagine it is quite a bit more but you can understand what I am getting at.  I do not know and I doubt whether many fans know either.

I hope Bruce knows what he is doing on this because he is making an example of a young kid (again, assuming the story is correct).  He could have played it low key.  However, I could be looking at it from the wrong angle and the information has been leaked by the player or his agent.

I am not a party to the facts and so at this time I will not criticise the player or the manager based on assumptions.

One thing's for sure, if there's one club that's going to be throwing millions of pounds at a young prospect on a bit of a punt, it's not going to be penniless Rangers.

Probably the only club who can make Birmingham City's 2013-2016 spending look like Manchester City.

Stan Petrov encouraging him to go to Rangers in the Meaning evil

Club legend Stiliyan Petrov says young Aston Villa striker Rushian Hepburn-Murphy should join Rangers for the sake of his career.

Hepburn-Murphy has been offered a new contract by Villa amid interest from Ibrox and he featured in the defeat at Cardiff City because boss Steve Bruce was told he was close to signing a huge new bumper deal.

But there has still been no breakthrough and Bruce has decided to withdraw the 18-year-old from the group ahead of the FA Cup third round trip to Tottenham on Sunday.

Petrov believes Rangers boss Mark Warburton should sign the youngster to help progress his career.

“Rushian is a very exciting young striker,” Petrov said. “He’s very quick and he would make a difference for Rangers.

“He’s one of those players that you love to have in the team but you hate to play against.

“He’s a very exciting young prospect and I would like to see Rushian moving away from Villa and having a chance somewhere to progress because he’s got tons of ability.

“He hasn’t asked me about Scotland, but I’m going in next week so we’ll probably have a conversation if he wants to know anything about it.”

I think he might find that he's not going in after all.

[Risso]

I'm really, really starting to dislike Petrov.  The man has a complete lack of class and respect.

[olaftab]

With respect just fuck off Stiliyan.
