Celtic can afford to take punts. We can't. That's a major difference. Souttar might be the one where we get a decent fee out of him, maybe more than CP13. But scouring the depths of the Amazon Basin for the next Ronaldinho, isn't something I think we've got a luxury of doing in time. I'd rather we develop the Cochrane's, Irving's, Smith's & Hickey's of this world, buy playing them more regularly, & giving them the exposure they need to go on to further their careers down South or abroad, and boost their earnings for us & them. I think we can do all 3 and have been - proven, youth and punts. None of our punts recently have stopped youth progressing that I can see. They’ve either established themselves like Souttar or have bombed like Aankwaa, Martin and co. Edited June 6, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what you are demanding this season, I'm just pointing out we improved our performance in all 3 competitions v the previous seasons. You have to be more SMART in your objective setting. Improvement could mean 1 more point, could mean 30 more points. Anyway, we do need to improve our league postion, we agree there.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 14 hours ago, maroonlegions said: Couple of things that caught my attention, one, playing a player out of his natural position AGAIN. And he had generated interest from a couple of big clubs. Thr 18-year-old was deployed on the left, despite being a central midfielder by trade, as the Doonhamers recorded a 2-1 win over the Jambos. However, reports today suggest Hearts are ready to offer Nombil a three-year deal, beating off competition from Club Brugge and Schalke in Germany. Being played out of position is normal at that level or in trials. They wouldn't be looking for him to win a match but how he copes in different situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Is God Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Always good to see a highly regarded youngster getting signed up. (assuming visa is no problem) The next Yaya?! I'd be happy even if he's the next Ya. I know he apparently played poorly in the bounce game but he was played out of position and it sounds like the whole team played poorly. I think he has spent quite a while training with us, so he must be doing something right. Anyway, welcome Cletus, hope you are a star in the making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
