    A bit harsh, most of us are frustrated that he has not stayed fit or developed his undoubted potential.

    I can't see him making it with us, but would not have used the language above. Maybe needs a move to a league where not such physical demands are on him.

    But we need to free up wages to get players in who are not seen as susceptible to constant injuries.

    Most of us wanted him to make it but there has to be a limit on how long we are prepared to give him.. Maybe if he could just stay fit that would be a start.

    He will be gone in the summer, sold or on loan. For his sake and Celtics.
    Years of injuries and promise that never arrived. He is not 16 anymore and still not in the first 11.

    He's got a contract until 2025. Won't be easy to move him on if he can't get fit and contribute. If he does get fit and contribute, we might all want to keep him, even if it's just as a squad player.

    I probably cant put into words how much i dont want to see us waste one more minute on this lump of wood.

    Don't see what part of his game is nearly good enough for Celtic.

    It’s a pity for the boy, and us, that it just won’t work out.

    I have been critical of him since day one, I always thought he was too lightweight, like an empty packet of crisps swirling in the wind in a playground and a sand dancer that flatters to deceive.

    He could well be the most skilful player on the books at the park, but his end product is lacking, decision making is appalling and he leaves the left hand side dreadfully exposed, which doesn’t help our left back who is definitely not a fans favourite in the first place.

    The Scottish game requires strength as well as guile. Win the battle to win the right to showboat.

    Sadly he is made of glass so there is no fight in him whatsoever.

    A real shame as injuries have hampered his career, had he not suffered so many set backs he may well have added strength to his game like Forrest had to do (and did do very successfully).

    We simply can’t afford to have any lightweights anymore as we play in a league that is already stacked against us like a rigged American Wrestling “competition” and we need to be “on it” in every game and every player needs to know the drill and not * about like a show pony then collapse the minute he gets a knock.

    Hopefully kicks on from here.

    He’s not still here through some fluke. He’s one of the most talented players we have. Coaches/Managers/Players always talk about the skill he has.


    It’s one of they ones if we let him move on and he does actually keep himself fit, we’ll all be kicking ourselves. He’s younger than Jota who’s only really having his first good season.

    but for now aye he’s frustrating as *

    As do the players. He needs confidence, he came back with fire in his belly and got injured again. One of his first game’s back he hit the post and you visibly seen the confidence drain from him.
