Mikey1874 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Checking online see the Charlton manager saying last week he has work to do to get back to fitness after groin injury last season that ended loan to Blackburn. So might not be ready to play this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS86 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Don't think we said we wouldn't be signing British players, just that it was harder to get value for money from them. But don't let the facts distort your view of things I have no issue with it, merely suggesting/highlighting that what we say in the media and what we do do not necessarily have any connection. Not sure what you mean by this, what are my view of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 How do you know this though? Atleast Paterson plays for the jersey! Where've you been for the last few months! If you'd been on here you'd not need to ask that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Ingram Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Have met Tony Watt a few times. Not a bad lad by any stretch and not at all the arrogant individual as portrayed on here BUT... he isn't the brightest and the problem at Celtic was an appalling, lazy approach to training that used to infuriate team mates and management. Like others, I'm surprised we are looking at him but on the other hand he is the type who could really work. Would presume and hope all checks regarding his willingness to work hard and succeed have been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 From my recollection of him he's better than Reilly but sounds like he's had attitude problems. If he gives himself a shake & works hard I think we will see goals from him. Really hope he applies himself but as has been said before if he doesn't Hearts won't play him.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 At no point has Neilson said we'll only sign players with a great attitude. He's mentioned character plenty, but that doesn't always mean "good honest pros". If we only signed choirboys and work horses we'd be getting pumped every week. Skacel would barely break in to a trot some games. I like that Paterson has a bit of attitude and aggression about him. A lot of players we've produced previously have been a bit too nice and timid. If Watt can combine that with good fitness levels and isn't lazy to the point of not contributing then it could work pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macros Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Its actually a bit of a failure and a sad indictment that you couldn't really identify one young striker brought through at our club who is remotely ready for a chance. Nine external signings for our under 20's this summer. Almost unnoticed by most but hugely significant IMO. Suggests that not only are we not producing many players promotable to the first team, we don't have anything coming from the 17/18 group either. The number of new additions to the U-20's did not go unnoticed, if you remember Craig Levein had stated not long after the takeover that the youth set up had been neglected for a couple of years, we had some coming through at that point but the younger ones, 16's-17's then, who would now be hitting the U-20 age, obviously weren't up to standard so we've had to look elsewhere for now. Hopefully in a couple of years we'll start producing quality again. As for Tony Watt, I worked in Coatbridge for a number of years and knew one of his ex school team coaches, he said the lad had ability but his attitude was shocking. We had a young girl working with us as well who'd been in his year at school and she told of his big time attitude before being signed by Celtic and that he was insufferable after the signing. These conversations were just after he'd scored against Barcelona and both were big Celtic fans, at a time when most would be bragging about any connection to the lad they were basically slagging him off, not a good sign. That said, it was over three years ago and hopefully he's matured since then. He does have ability, he's scored everywhere he's been and the lure of the World Cup qualifiers and having Celtic loving Chesney as the national manager might be enough incentive for him to screw the nut and work hard, if so we could benefit greatly from this deal.

Rudy T Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Talented lad whose career is getting close to last chance saloon. We get him on loan he bags us goals and his profile is raised again...its win win for both parties. He makes an arse of this opportunity and he's gets sent back and he becomes another statistic of talented Scottish players who threw their career away. We don't lose out of that as he won't be around to disrupt the dressing room. Can't see why anyone would be against it and I don't think this negates the number one target being signed.

Willing to see how it pans out, obviously, but not sure it's a smart move. No idea if this will happen but if it does it's one where you really need to have faith in our management team that they can turn around a talented players career when many others in various clubs and indeed countries appear to have thrown in the towel. As a lot of people are saying it's a risk but probably one worth taking as it is a loan deal but it makes me wonder where his career goes from here if it doesn't work out, quite sad that potentially a talented young Scottish player is playing for his future at the age he is.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 To expand on his time at Cardiff he did okay there - the then manager Russell Slade (now the manager of Charlton btw) - was keen to sign him but it fell through due to a signing embargo. I know for a fact that other members of the coaching team (including possibly the current head coach) didn't want him anywhere near the club. However the owner, the notorious Vincent Tan, had/has a lot of respect for Slade and wanted to support him. The issues were all down to professionalism and fitting in with the squad. I've no details.

LarrysRightFoot Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 It's going to one of two ways. He either appreciates the chance he is being given and nuckles down trains hard and reignites his career. Or He isn't willing to put up with our strict training regime and ends up getting sent back to the Addicks. I hope as we all do its scenario 1. If it is I hope we have an option to buy already in place. If it's scenario 2 - as long as he doesn't disrupt group harmony - it'll be a case of nothing ventured nothing gained.
