Colin Kazim-Richards

A nuisance isn't what we need when we're trying to break teams down domestically.

I admit he'd have his uses away in Europe if you were holding onto a result bur a battering ram isn't going to help us break down Dundee or St Johnstone.

 

Pretty much sums up my thought son him.

I think he gets a very hard time on here, lets be honest 20 min at end of every game isn't enough for any player to make there mark and he has never been a goal scorer in his life so giving the guy 20 min to prove him self isn't gonna be fruitful in terms of goals.

What Richards does offer is hold up play, anyone that says he doesn't hold the ball up well and lay it off is blinded by apparent hatred of him or of Deila but they just wanna take it out on this guy, back to goal this fella is far better than Cole or Ciftci and we got him on a free.

If he was given a run of 5 games with Griff up top I reckon we'd see an entirely different player, he wins headers and he holds it up well however as a striker he doesn't score enough goals which at the end of the day he will be judged on so bringing him on to put up front on his own is never ever going to get the best out of him.

He's a passionate player and has shown he wants to work hard and get involved but he is never going to be a goal scorer so chances are it's not gonna work for him here but he isn't nearly as bad as people make out on here.

 

I agree with that. Although to be fair, last night I thought it was creativity in the middle of the park that we lacked. Didn't have anyone on the pitch who could cut Dundee's defence open or get a goal out of nothing. We missed Rogic that way, and how McGregor and/or Commons didn't get on was beyond me.

 

When I seen that he's covered in tattoos I immediately made my mind up - Absolute *.

 

Your a * then if thats how you judge people.

 

You're judging scottbhoy to be a * because of one comment.
You're a * as well then.
Don't jump

 

Big strong and the goal threat of a bollard

 

There is a few players out there with tattoos wed be lucky to have. Vidal has a few,is he a *. Messi has a sleeve. I wouldn't give a monkey's as long as they were players.

 

Take it he was horrendous when he came on the other night? General opinion changed from offers something different to absolute *

 

he is useless but the good news for him is he can now sit in dirk boerrigters seat and steal a living off us until some turkish side take him off us.he is a big guy but unlike hartsson or sutton no skill no pace infact no good and thats saying something for the spfl

 

He was honking, not the only one, but talkceltic loves a scapegoat.

 

The best thing he has done in his time here was pull that stewerd off the fan at killie.

Biggest problem for me is that when he comes on and we resemble a 4-4-2, Griffiths disappears. No link-up between the 2 at all and CKR just fannies around gurning and chasing after his first touch

 

I think you answered your own ponders Paul. I think he can offer something in the shape of 20 minute cameos against a defensively packed team where maybe the aerial option is the better one. I don't think he's a starting player and I just don't see goals in him, more so when the balls on the deck. I think a full game of him shooting and missing would only end up him shooting and missing more. Keep it to the cameos and play to his few strengths.

 

He's the type of player where the focus goes to the 3 behind the striker to provide the goal threat, he'll hold the ball up and drag defenders about, it's up to others to exploit that space. Commons would thrive playing behind him, he's the only one who picks the gaps currently.

Rogic's coming on a fair bit at that right enough.

I think he can do a job for us in the SPL, in europe though i wouldnt be to confident of him changing a game or offering much. I think Stokes offers far more if we are to play 2 up front. But in the SPL for sure if we have a lot of games he can do a job in the league and cups.
