    i know the whole way through it they were like trying to undermine him and make a fool of him, that * of a reporter that always used to be on real radio was the main culprit

    Don't know if it's been posted, but this video gives you a better idea of his play - shows the negatives to him as well:

    Looks handy there. Needs to learn to pass more often. A lesson the coaches taught Sammy and McGeady. Hope he improves his all around game while here.

    Likes a late goal:50: Also looks like he can really turn a defender which is brilliant.

    Makes good runs and his awareness (without the ball) of where he should in relation to others in possession look good from that video. Good strength and uses it well when turning defenders under pressure and dangerous when he has space to attack.

    His finishing not so great (maybe he could just header everything) and his awareness of others with the ball need work (although he played a great pass for the Soudani goal against Braga in the video).

    Looks like he cannot take a penalty which seems to be a strength of the the Celtic side.

    Young guy who can be developed into a better version of the current form, interested to see him develop.

    IF (very hypothetical) we get Hooper on a new contract next season I think he could form a dangerous partnership with this boy that would do a serious amount of damage. . . cue the * dastardly picture.

    Obviously a little rough around the edges but he looks to be exactly what we are needing upfront. A real physical presence who will win his fair share of knock downs, aerial battles and generally give defenders a * of alot of trouble throughout the 90mins. His link up play looks excellent, as someone said above if Hooper signs on for another year or so the two of them could be a fantastic pairing. The power and direction this guy gets on his headers' is amazing too :97: excited about seeing him in the hoops now.
