The Mystery of Paul Hartley?

Sno and Brown are sheer quality . Its just Brown plays out of position and Sno has been injured . When they play regularly i will bet they are cracking for us

 

sno's not been brill. thers been FAR FAR Too much slack given to him because hes young. he gives the ball away, he has little composure a dono who said he has composure you'd expect from a 30year old but i disagree. the ball gets lost at his feet sometimes and hes not quick enough to realise the ball. he always causes ALOT of fouls.
all this might smooth out but hes no world beater.

 

For 500K Snoman has been brilliant for a 20 year old.He's already broke into a very successful young Dutch squad

 

I think big Sno looks a quality player, fiesta i don't know what makes you say he doesn't look composed mate, he looks more composed than a lot of other dud's in our squad. I think his range of passing is * hot aswell, like anyone he is prone to some slack balls but that can be worked on and will be. The point is the ability he possesses makes him an extremely valuable member of our squad.

As for Hartley, biggest waste a socks i've seen in a long time. His header that got tipped over yesterday is the only thing he's done in a Celtic shirt, and that is not acceptable!! But no, Strachan is being an ignorant wee *. Same with the Deeks situation.

 

I saw Hartley touch the ball about 3 times the whole game, hes one of the worse players ive ever seen in a Celtic jersey. Jarosik is a better player than him.

 

Cudnt agree more , was totally against us signing him
Hes a waste of a good squad number McGeady could have the number 11 shirt

 

why would mcgeady want number 11? :S

 

then you weren't watching the game.

 

Ok including the header... 4 touches. Regardless hes * *, ive never seen him create a goal for celtic or do anything productive for the squad...

 

last season it was clearly obvious he was playing a defencive roll. maybe strach thought it would be best to try him there for when lenny leaves i dono.
this season, he plays the best game he has done for celtic so far when hes went forword he back tracked and stopped a few killie attacks, he was winning headers, up the attacking end he was holding up the ball well holding off defenders.

i watched the game again, purly to see what hartley did so wrong. he did very little wrong , took a bad corner and a bad freekick.

 

I don't doubt that he is a talent but come on.If he was one of the most promising talents in world football he would
1:be first choice
2:Would have rich clubs nosing around him
3:We would not have got him for a quarter of a million pounds

BTW that Holland squad he got called into was a training squad of around 50 players and he was not picked for the final squad.

 

Evander Sno is a great player and I agree with MonTheHoops07. He physically strong, a good passer and his a big presence. He called up to the Dutch squad which just highlights his achievements.

 

He was actually on the bench with Big Jan but he never got on
Just because Real Madrid dont want him doesnt make him a bad player
He has been injured and is only 20 that is why hes not 1st choice

 

Good post.

 

Hartley's corners are over hit ALL the time . He does a gay run up aswell

 

I was pretty sure he got sent home .I never said he was a bad player,as a matter of fact I rate him quite highly but not nearly as highly as you .Also your reasons for him not being 1st choice don't hold water with me.Think of Messi,Aguero,David Silva,Higuain,Gago,Nasri,Rooney,Ronaldo,Fabregas,These are all potentially world class talents[in some cases they already are] who are regulars in teams that are far more talented and richer than Celtic.Sno has Paul Hartley in front of himand he can't get into the team

 

i wanted us to sign him....the first time we went for him. at that time, he was playing really well and controlling the midfield. he got him too late and by the time we signed him, he was not playing great and looked a shadow of his former self. has contributed nothing to celtic in my opinion, and is a waste of a space on the team sheet.

 

I hate saying it, cos I was pleased as * when we signed Hartley, but he has done nothing to justify being in the squad, never mind the team. He should be sold as soon as possible. He is as much use as a one legged man in an * kicking contest.
Funny. Kenny Miller and Neil Lennon did more for the team than Hartley yet he doesn't seem to get half the stick they got last season.

 

hartley is gash. hes not very good at all and i dont know why we signed him?

He is a small fish in a big pond.

 

Yes but managers like Fabio Capello ( not now ) Alex Ferguson , Arsene Wenger and Frank Rijkaard are in charge of these players . Remember players have to be protected at a young age . Remember Michael Owen played lots of games for Liverpool at 18-19 and now he has hamstring trouble all the time .And if 99% of The TC people had to choose between Hartley or Sno in the team i think wed choose the latter . A Mr Strachan is the man needing convincing
