I must have watched him, but I can't remember. Is he a 6?Brilliant.
I was saying a week back, if there was one player I want to take from Celtic thats only Hatate.
Not comparing directly, but his style on ball, low center of gravity reminds me of Modric
Hope we get him.
Who was the last player we signed from Scotland? Was it Alan Hutton?
He was alright but the step up is huge. Players are basically going from league one to the PL.
In a traditional back4 , his role is similar is more of a 8. In a 4-3-3 he can play further forward , operating in inside channels and between spaces. He is the creative hub of Celtic , a player we lack the mostWhat position, who would he see off in the XI/squad?
Personally I’m not entirely convinced, I think it’s very risky taking players from Celtic and there are others I’d prefer for the 8 position.
I wasn't, I’m saying that more from a point of view of the games I’ve watched of him whilst also taking into consideration the league quality and other targets. If I hadn’t of watched him I’d agree, one shouldn’t make a judgement on any player they haven’t watched just on the bases the league isn’t good.I wouldn’t put a blanket no-go on players from SPL. Which signing isn’t risky ? Let’s not forget we got Ndombele & LoCelso from top leagues as well.
Ange scouted him out of obscurity & got him to Celtic for 1.4m - if he believes same player can step up to PL , so be it. At least he knows the player inside out - that makes the risk less
What’s the release clause supposed to be?He looks quality and if that release clause is true, it’s an absolute brainer.
Harry winks was superb then. I'd love that winks back. However he never looked the same after his ankle injury.Hmm … what midfielder can we remember being dominant against Real Madrid in the CL? Oh, yes: Harry Winks!
Jokes aside: support the manager to get the players he wants. When it is a player he’s managed previously and knows well - get it done. Within reasonable economic limits obv.
