In a perfect world, we'd sell him to a Premiership club in the North West (or even Leeds) who would lend him back to us for a season in League One to continue his development. That would also allow Carlos to remain in the area, something he said he liked when interviewed on Football Focus.

Not sure what that would be but if for example we got £500K for Carlos would they want £300K of that as a return for the amount they have and continue to put into or club or would they not invest any further and let the BoD use the money to finance future seasons with a few pennies thrown in the direction of DA to bring in some talented players....

If the club want to buy my 12 year old, I will let the lazy scruffbag go for a tenner!

A lot of clips from the reserves there that we've not really seen (I'm assuming the clips have come from Wyscout or something).
I think that JB gets lots of unfounded stick for 'letting players go' who've gone on to do well, when most of it was out of his control due to finances etc. However seeing those clips of Carlos in the reserves, I think he did drop of a bit of a clanger by not really playing him!

Little Shrimp the use of the word 'hype' is in my opinion misleading. A definition of the word hype is 'exaggerating something'. In the case of Carlos I feel this is unfair because he is improving at such a rapid rate that he is now more than ready to ply his trade at a much higher level than EFL2 and his talents are there for all to see for anyone who has seen his progress this season since he has been given a regular chance.

I'm more referring to the fact that they're getting excited about something that hasn't happened yet, and the only basis for it happening is some paper talk.

Ah fair enough. To be honest at this stage last season I wasn’t convinced by Carlos. He obviously had talent but wasn’t always using it to best advantage. This season he has matured and is now a real threat to the opposition. Teams have of course identified this and targeted him to try and nullify his talents but to his credit he is handling this well and is a real handful for them to cope with. If not Rangers I’m sure there will be others who will covet his services and hopefully pay us the appropriate fee to secure him.

Phoenix Shrimp, what is though the appropriate fee ? Personally I think we should be looking for from a team like Rangers, 7 figures.
