One thing I'd like to see moving forward is Bradley paired with Zalelem in the midfield. Bradley in the role many of us like him in coming from the back as a DM.
If Hyndman develops as well, you'll have a nice middle 3 in your 4-3-3.

Rangers scored 3 goals in the first half. Per ther twitter accound He almost scored and had his shot deflected for a corner. 4 min after corner he made the secondary assist ("hockey assist") on their 2nd goal then had an assist on their 3rd goal. Seems to have fit in pretty easily. He could compile some monster stats

Some will try to devalue his debut. But the kid has to start somewhere. Sometimes in life you to take 2 steps back in order to take one step forward.
Really good debut for him.

Exactly. Yes looking good vs a 3rd division Scottish team (It was a cup match for those not aware) isnt the same as playing against Mexico. But he was dominant, he was involved in the attack and didnt look over whelmed playing against men.
Im in no means saying assisting 3 times in a game should guarentee a call up but if he keeps performing like this it'll only be a good thing.

Not sold on Alashe yet...give me Acosta there. Fatai is having a good year but he's being played more forward than the role you're asking him to play as the sole CDM, a role that Acosta has been playing in and acclimating to quickly. Don't ask him to create too much, but with a Hyndman/Gedion attacking midfield pairing, you won't need much more production from the central midfield.

Lol, didn't see that the roster came out already and Acosta isn't on it. In that case, I'll take Trapp over Alashe for the same reason I preferred Acosta.

Good news, Gers are on the cusp of extending Zelalem's loan for the rest of the season. Zelalem is in a good place at this point of his development. He's getting plenty of playing time and has 5 assists. Hibs have closed the gap for automatic promotion so Gers has a battle on their hands the rest of the season.

I agree its best for GZ. Id be ok with him staying next year assuming they get promoted. Every week starter for Rangers in SPL is better than Arsenal reserves and not making gameday 18. Could also see a load to a low level EPL team (whoever gets promoted from Championship) or whichever Championship team loses in promotion playoffs (reading, burnley, the usual top Championship suspects)
Now if Arsenal sell off some players and dont bring in additional CMs and he'll be in the mix for minutes then I hope he fights and earns time at Arsenal. I just don't think thats likely yet.

I agree with your points MSantoine. As long as Gers are in the Premiership it would be a decent spot for Zelalem. I'm trying to hide my Rangers bias of wanting to see Zelalem shred Celtic.
Objectively, I can say that I am massively impressed with Warburton as a manager although Fulhamerica are rumored to be trying to make a play for him. Worth watching that situation for the sake of Ream, Hyndman and De La Torre. Personally I hope he stays in Glasgow.
