    People on his back will be the same helmets that wrote off Trusty.

    He's young in a new country playing a new style of football. Give him time ffs so he can settle in.

    Said after the RB game that I like that he has a bit of nastiness about him but he got far too wound up on Sunday. Played right into Kilmarnock's hands.
    Wouldn't be surprised if he got sent off soon. Needs to keep the head and let his talent do the talking

    Delighted for him.

    Shows other players that they'll get their chance on the international scene here.

    He was okay, they were basically playing a midfield 2 of him and Onana and they struggled to hold the ball.

    He looked quite composed, put a few decent deliveries into the box and was good defensively. Only real complaint would be that his positioning was poor at times, but I think that's more down to the setup and that he (and Onana) were given a lot to do.

    Noticed he was taking the corners from the left side too, which is quite impressive with the quality that Belgium have.

    Guys career trajectory is to the moon and folk think he’s been poor for Celtic.

    Utterly mental. Guy is going to be a serious baller for us this season never mind moving forward.

    Come end of the season I agree 100%.

    I do believe the glimpses we've seen, once he's settled fully and adjusted to moving to Scotland. Next season he could go onto next season and do a relative Kuhn and just go on a ridiculous run of form from CM.

    Bearing in mind, the fans seemed so mixed on him when he's come in and is already got 9 goal contributions so far this season.

    4 goal contributions in 4 Champions League appearances, full Belgian international, hasn’t even settled yet. As you say, going to the moon.

    People worried about his price tag need to chill, those comparing his cost v his performances are the people who think he’s poor.

    His price tag is an absolute pittance in the world he’s already operating in.

    Some think 11 million means you should be signing a finished article Lubo/Henrik hybrid when in reality it shouldn’t even be enough to sign a Belgian international. We’ve actually got a bargain before he’s even settled and developed.

    Even in the games he's not played that well in I still watch him pulling off or attempting passes and making runs other players wouldn't even think about.

    I've no doubts he'll make it to the top.

    We’ve been crying out forever to get the money spent and as soon as we do there’s certain sections of the fanbase who are using the price tag against him/the club.

    As you say it’s a pittance and some of these reactions are a tinpot mentality. If we want money spent on good players, these fans have to learn to take the good with the bad, but most importantly allow these players to flourish and reach their potential before hounding them out on their performances.
