Jordan Larsson

The difference being neither Kasper Schmeichel or Timo Weah were playing at the clubs where their respective father's crafted a significant part of their legends and legacies. They played elsewhere and made names for themselves without having to deal with the additional weight of expectation of not just bearing a famous name in the same colours.

 

He’s miles better than Johnstone and ajeti We have approx 60 games to play next season we need 2/3 quality players in every position

 

Rogic or Bitton should cover it.

 

Unfortunately he will always be judged against his father and obviously he will not be as good as his dad, Jordan carve out your career at clubs where your dad is not a club legend.

 

Maybe mate, he'd have been on big money in Russia..

 

Didn't he play at Helsingborg ?

 

Bit harsh to make one of them pay him direct.

 

You know he's both been managed by his dad and played in the same team?

 

If he himself doesn't fancy it because of comparisons with his dad then he's not for us.

It shouldn't matter who his dad is.

If he's good enough and got the right mentality then we should sign him.

If Ange isn't keen or doesn't get the right vibes from him then we move on.

We can't be signing him out of sentiment either.

 

If he comes here let's just no dae that. And pull c***s up if they dae

 

if he comes to Celtic he would be constantly compared to his dad, that is not fair to any player.
Let the lad prosper under his own reputation.

 

Give him 20% of the Larsson merchandise sales anaw then

 

He did, and no * really compared him to henrik there.

Looks like maybe my physio was onto something the other day...

 

He will be just fine...he's lived with and played under the worst of having to live with his Dad's legacy in Sweden.

Anyone who would honestly expect the same standards of him at Celtic would be best ignored in pretty much any aspect of football discussions.

The media can say what they want...rivals can say what they want.. right minded Celtic fans would love him should he sign and do moderately well for us.

Which under a guy like Ange and his system I think he'd flourish under

 

Only by people with poor knowledge of football.

I think the majority of Celtic fans are a lot more realistic about what to expect from Jordan.

 

Surely no one is that much of an idiot that they would be comparing him to his old man ffs.

 

Never said he wouldn’t.

 

Weah was at PSG when we loaned him. Not sure what level of pressure or expectation was placed on him by their fans though.

Schmeichal might not have played for the same clubs but still in a league where every fan, pundit and commentator knows his father was one of the best to play in it.

 

Personally I think as a support we are conscious enough of it that it wouldn’t be a problem.

Also all Ange would have to go is come out and outright say it and that would be the end of it.

This is the right time to take a punt on Jordan Larsson IMO.

Free, already moved for big money, really decent player and genetically speaking his Dad was a late bloomer, so there’s potential he could improve dramatically in his prime.
