Player Mikey Moore

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Think Madders spent some time on loan in SPL developing
He played a season at Aberdeen and scored a screamer of a free kick against the blue bigots.
Tottenham play teams all over the place if they are Tier 1! Academies.
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.

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

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.
 
He’ll certainly have to bulk up a bit...
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.
You get a fresh start for the group stages. Not sure if he can be eligible to play in the qualifying rounds.
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.
 
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.
 
Look at him in EL, he will torch the SPL imo
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.

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.

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.
