    What do you guys think about him? I think he's a good prospect just needs to be given the chance, has shown he can play well in midfield. What do you think about him?

    i think hes got a bit of class about him and there are a few challenegers for that spot but id give the likes of him or nguemo a bit about whoever is in form etc because both look talented

    I think he needs to be given a lot more playing time, he was very good at Lyon, Playing him every couple of months is not going to help him, he may start slow but I think he needs to play every week, he and nguemo would make a good pair with Brown and Mcgeady alongside

    I think Marc Crosas is the best passer of the ball in the Celtic side, I think he keeps the ball moving well, & proberly completes 90% of his passes per game that he plays.

    I think his build maybe lets him down abit, with the SPL, its abit physical, & he doesn't have the room to pick the ball up & play a pass comfortably as he would say in Spain, you have to be more on your toes & keep the ball moving quickly, but I think for the European stage he would be a great player & even in the SPL, think he is a good player, but I think N'Guemo has nailed that sitting role in midfield, so be hard for him to get in the side, but would like to see him this year, hes a good promising youngster :50:

    Needs a run of games really, I can definitely see plenty of class in him. He has game intelligence a couple of our other midfielders lack.

    hes about the only player in our squad who can hit an accurate pass further than about 30 yards, iv always thought he looked a class act just needs his defending sorting out. i dunno why n'guemo gets a free pass off some in here because tbh his passing on sunday was woeful at times, twice he hit what should have been an easy ball straight out for a throw.
    I reckon marc deserves his go in the side

    I think he is a classy little player who is going to get fed up with life at Celtic and will want to leave if he isn't given a proper chance to show what he can do. That would be a real shame because we will never have got the chance to see the best of him. :54:

    i reckon mowbray and peter lawell ar enot playing him because they know of the buy back clause and will try and not featute him too much because they know what a prospect he is

    Spanish football i would say he is a top quality player, has all the attributes to be a class act in the spanish game. However in the scottish game i dont think he is going to progress as a player. It is too fast and physical for him in my opinion. When he has 2 rush he is often caught in possession and he is very lightweight with his tackling ability non existent.

    i agree with some of the above, if he´d had a fair bit more of physice about him i could see him actually being a genuine playmaker for us...but sadly i think, before he reaches that level he´ll be * of and gone. he´ll just have to bite the grape bein down the pecking order and with even more cometition coming in...dont really see it, with his kind of talent.

    I like him, he's a good reader of the game and his passing is excellent, but he needs game time now or he will want to leave

    I think he is a great player and should get action in the SPL and Europa..especially the way Brown has been playin I wouldnt mind seein N'Guemo and Crosas together in midfield with Maloney and McGeady on the wings.

    Clever Bhoy that can last for 90 minutes. N'gwemo seems to have a problem doing that.

    He can disappear in games, but a bright prospect.
    Hope to see him in diddy cup games.

    I think its a case of use him or lose him. I'd like him to get a good shot at it. I think we should play 3 centre mids and try Crosas Robson and Nguemo, give Broony some time off

    I met BTM last week and he said he likes Crosas but feels he has to impose himself more in games. He says that although he isn't the tallest and strongest he's told him he needs to learn to use what physique he has to influence his game as he's too easily knocked off the ball.

    I like Crosas, but the question is who would you drop to accomodate him, esp. as it seems (and I agree to some extent) that McGeady, Maloney and Brown are guaranteed starters and N'Guemo as well has been very solid. So by the looks of it he'll just have to wait for his turn atm.

    First off, nobody should be a guaranteed starter.
    Second, Brown deserves to sit out for awhile. With N'Guemo on we can afford to have a guy like Crosas -- whose more of a "controlling DM" than a "physical DM" (which would be N'Guemo) that can also act as the starting point of the attack.
