Celtic Sign Liverpool Youngster

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | C | Celtic | SPL deal thrills Liverpool youth


So, does anyone know anything about this guy?


I think he's a striker, as it talks about breaking goal scoring records. So play him against St Mirren?

 

thought we signed him awhile back

 

He got injured, so the deal got cancelled.

 

seems a decent player

wish strachan would invest for the present and not for the future just now

 

"You can turn professional at 16 up in Scotland, which is not the case in England as you have to wait until you are 17."

That is something we should look to take advantage of.

 

John Marsden signs from liverpool!

Liverpool teenager John Marsden says he is delighted to have signed a professional contract with Scottish Premier League side Celtic.
The 16-year-old has penned a three-year deal with the Glasgow giants.
He told BBC Radio Merseyside: "The deal Celtic offered me was better than any English club could have done.
"You can turn professional at 16 up in Scotland, which is not the case in England as you have to wait until you are 17."
And Marsden, who broke a number of junior goalscoring records on Merseyside, believes moving to Scotland can help his development as a player.
"Because of a lack of money at most Scottish clubs they purchase young lads and bring them through.
"They can't just go and buy a Fernando Torres for £25m."
Marsden, a former trainee at Wigan Athletic, scored 91 goals during his four-and-a-half season spell with the Greater Manchester club.

My target for this season is to get fit and play a few games for the under-19s and hopefully next season you'll see the best of me



John Marsden


And after securing his first professional contract he said he is now focused on regaining full fitness following a metatarsal injury and returning to action.
"My target for this season is to get fit and play a few games for the under-19s and hopefully next season you'll see the best of me," said Marsden. "I was in the process of signing for Celtic when I got injured but they were good enough to still sign me and continue with my rehab up here."

 

already a thread

*merged*

 

That's a good point.

Although you have to watch these youngsters who want to run before they can walk, metaphorically speaking of course.

we wont be seeing him playing this season, probly not even next

 

He can't be a young footballer, he seems intelligent

Hopefully we can see him in a few years.

 

In the current climate, this is the way forward, we all want to see money getting splashed, but this could be a stroke of genius!!

 

play him on Saturday

 

Start him at left back

 

He played last few minutes in U19s Saturday and U17s last night and scored

 

play him on Saturday, i'm deadly serious

 

seems like a good signing, bit concerned about the injury, but seems eager, hope to see him do well

 

signed him a while back came on as a sub when the under 19s played inverness the other day

 

lets get him played, fleck vs marsden
