Ndombele's list must be twice that long
He’s not that puny at all. Also, he grew up playing in London. It’s no picnic for youth players. Trust meHe’ll certainly have to bulk up a bit as he’s going to get the living shit kicked out of him up here.
Fullbacks up here are hardly what one would call elegant and graceful.
Pretty sure he’s been playing for us since he was 7. Doubt he’s spent that much time toughening up in the Croydon Cages.He’s not that puny at all. Also, he grew up playing in London. It’s no picnic for youth players. Trust me
Dom Ball won the league (Scottish Championship) there after Nathan went back to Spurs in January.Tricky move. Oduwa went there and did a rainbow flick vs alloa. Proceeded to get booted every game from then on.
Moore will need to toughen up quickly if he is to be successful.
Tottenham play teams all over the place if they are Tier 1! Academies.Pretty sure he’s been playing for us since he was 7. Doubt he’s spent that much time toughening up in the Croydon Cages.
He played a season at Aberdeen and scored a screamer of a free kick against the blue bigots.
I get that, but it’s hardly the rough and tumble of street football. But, you may be correct and he’ll glide through without a scratch. I think hes going to get FUBAR.Tottenham play teams all over the place if they are Tier 1! Academies.

Honestly no idea. Just hoping he has a positive experience really. Gets a lot of games against the bigger boys. Hopefully it’ll show him that if he doesn’t stick in and improve, this is where he spends his career. Should strike the fear of god into him.What’s a reasonable target for Moore in SPL?

He’s going to be by far the most valuable player in the league, even if one of the youngest
Whenever I hear the expression "bulk up" on here (and it's pretty frequent), I can't help but think of some oiled- and roided-up Adama Traore type.
It might be past the time for Rangers to be able to register him to play in Europe. I think there's a rule where two players can be changed in January. It's what Postecoglou did in the Europa League last season with Spence.
Made a slight mistake on my last reply, the 3rd round deadline is 31st July and can be a completely fresh squad and you can make 2 changes after the deadline up until 24 hours before the 1st leg so Mikey has about 6 days to complete the move to make the 3rd round squad (providing Rangers go through). Obviously if they do lose, it'll be exactly the same for Europa League qualifying registration.You get a fresh start for the group stages. Not sure if he can be eligible to play in the qualifying rounds.
10 starts would be good.What’s a reasonable target for Moore in SPL?

They should be, if they can really bed him in and give him a run of opportunities he could pay gigantic dividends for them.Mikey Moore from Spurs on year long loan - Sky journalist reports

Most seem very excited by him.
People are really overlooking the opportunity for him in Europe for Rangers, if he starts most/all of their games he will very likely get into double figures starts in Europe, that's massively invaluable experience for him, plus Rangers is actually a fairly good fit as they have a big stadium, draw good crowds to every match which will give him some experience of coping with the pressures that bring, the SPL is about even with the Championship in terms of the top 6 IMO and those teams play each other 4 times a season, that's 20 fixtures at (or slightly above vs Celtic) championship level football. We could do much worse than sending him there IMO.
You're talking utter fucking shit.Just been on a Rangers fan site and no ITK, They are not exactly over the moon at the potential loan.

SPFL hammer-throwers would use his shinbones for toothpicks up here.
The Championship is comfortably better than the SPL imo, people have no idea how bad things have got up there football wise since Rangers got relegated to the third division and came back.People are really overlooking the opportunity for him in Europe for Rangers, if he starts most/all of their games he will very likely get into double figures starts in Europe, that's massively invaluable experience for him, plus Rangers is actually a fairly good fit as they have a big stadium, draw good crowds to every match which will give him some experience of coping with the pressures that bring, the SPL is about even with the Championship in terms of the top 6 IMO and those teams play each other 4 times a season, that's 20 fixtures at (or slightly above vs Celtic) championship level football.

I mean everything you've said pretty much corroborates what I've said, I'd rate Celtic as a relegation battler in PL, Rangers in the promotion convo in championship, the likes of Hibs, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd would probably stay up in the Champo, certainly if clubs like Rotherham and Oxford United are capable of surviving a championship season as both have in recent years any of those three would be in with a shout of it, and the top 6 play 4 fixtures against each other, so a good number of the games he's going to be playing in the Scottish league will be at championship standard. If Rangers make the group stages of EL he will play better teams than he could possibly play against on loan at a championship club also, so I rate this as equal or slightly better than a champo loan tbh.The Championship is comfortably better than the SPL imo, people have no idea how bad things have got up there football wise since Rangers got relegated to the third division and came back.
Celtic are about the level of a bottom half Prem club, Rangers slightly worse, but the rest of the league is mid table Championship to League One quality.
I think Moore will massively benefit from this loan and will do quite well there, but it’s a really poor league.
