Juanjo15 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Is he better than Milinkovic? I would doubt that and the region of fee he will be sold for (if true) will possibly justify Genoa’s valuation I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I , for one , hope he continues this Exactly. Maroon tints all round here. The lad's a good player, I've always thought that. Make himself available, can pass a ball, great delivery, works hard. We'd be happy with him at Tynie. So great to see him try his arm over in Italy. Hope he gets a move to Serie A, and hopefully to a team that does well and where he plays. Fed up of seeing our players follow the easy money to England. It's bullshit: their teams treat us like a pound shop and our players very rarely develop once they get down there. Agents are the real issue, and if more guys would be a bit more headstrong and either forge their careers here for longer or look to go try a different style and way of life, we'd be the better for it. The more players do it and do OK, the more of a market we create here. Think about the Dutch league, it is still held up as a great place to pick up young players and there's millions spent there from across Europe and, while there is quality, there is so much of that spent looking for the next Wesley or Van Dijk or whatever, that a lot of it is speculative based on perception rather than the specific player. There's a lot of money been spent on a lot of shite from that league! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call that a success. From there, to West Brom is a very strange career move imo. EVen if Leipzig didn't see him nailing a place, you'd think his involvement in that season would be a enough to get a better move that West chuffing Brom. Even the way they play football... was Olly Burke ever going to progress under Tony Pulis? Was he home sick? Was it money? It was exciting for Scottish football to see the lad go there and do pretty well and I felt a bit deflated when he came "back", even before seeing how his and West Brom's season went.

jamboinglasgow Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 He will be playing Serie A football next season after Hellas Verona won the Serie B play off.

Funny thing about Robertson, he played against the rangers in the third division for Queen's giving them an up close and personal look at him, and they were so impressed they signed Nicky Clark.

Take a budget of 10m, give 7m to one player, 2.5m split between another 10 players - whoever they can get, Sam Nicolson or Barry Robson or someone - and give the rest to a bunch of students.

Great attitude, plays fair and he is a wonderful passer of the ball. Hope he does well in Serie A He could have easily stayed at Celtic and not got a game or gone to a lower English clubs, but he took a chance. Even last summer when Bari went under, he had options to sign for a few Serie A clubs but turned them down to stay in Serie B with Verona as the manager who brought him to Italy was now managing there. He has showed bravery and it has really paid off for him. Plus he is loving the culture and lifestyle out there. Here is a good interview with him from back in April http://www.espn.co.uk/football/italian-serie-a/12/blog/post/3807711/youre-not-in-scotland-now----why-liam-henderson-left-superpower-celtic-for-the-italian-second-division He is a good example of the benefit of taking the chance and going abroad to play.

Liam Henderson was indeed at Hearts before he left to go to Celtic (similar to Aaron Hickey) after playing for Hearts at U11 and U12 (I think) He was born in 1996 and left for Celtic in 2008, so probably joined them for his U13 season.
