Feel free to talk him down all you want but he'll tear this league up if Celtic play to his strengths. He's no world beater yet but he's the best player in the league now.

Personally, I think if he was really that good he'd be playing for Chelsea (who tbh are rather ordinary at present, IMO). The guy is 21 y-o and has only played 27 first team games (24 in Spain for Betis and 3 for Chelsea) so a large %age of his games in his career so far have been at an age-group level. To talk about him being 'the best player in the league now' is, at best, premature. Let's see how he does up here before we judge him. Having said that, he'll probably rip us a new one tonight....

Chelsea are a fair bit better than 'ordinary' at present, through the group in the Champions League and top four in the EPL. I wish we were that ordinary; also the players in his position are far from ordinary so there is no shame in failing to oust them at any age, let alone 21. One is probably a £100m player for goodness sake. In fairness I haven't watched much of the teams in our league unless playing against us so I may have missed the other players who would compete for a place in team for the EPL Champions.

I'm not talking him down - he would clearly stroll into any team up here - but we have seen players come up here with amazing reputations and price tags, and not really lived up to it. It will come down to his attitude, and whether the celtc players can play with him effectively. I would let him make an appearance before labelling him the best player in our league right now (because, as we all know, that player is currently Christophe Berra ) And don't bother quoting this back at me after he scores 4 tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamos Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You have to love the spending power of the EPL, especially City. One of their main attackers is injured and out for a period of time, so they pop out and spend £60 million on Mahrez to head to Manchester today to replace him while he is out. Bonkers but for City fans, that must be superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamos Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The league's are completely different styles, mostly due to the difference in technical ability. There is no way any EPL player in his first game here would be able to cope with the pace of the game or the "robustness", it is simply a different version of football. However, if the player has the technical ability and is young enough with the hunger still, he should adapt quickly and make his mark. Sadly the majority on that list were at the end of their careers and simply picking up one last pay check. Scott Sinclair is a decent example of how a poor EPL player can do well up here, treated like Maradona at Celtic but struggled every club he was at in the EPL, including a shockingly poor Villa team. I can see this lad doing very well at Celtic unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
