    Just because he comes from Chelsea on loan shouldn't guarantee him a place in our team. the hype was too much , He obv isn't ready physically to compete. Hopefully he stays and has a good pre season but I won't be bothered if he goes back to chelsea.

    Roberts will be away in the summer, possibly Rogic and Armstrong if they don't sign extensions, he should have opportunities next season, going back to chelsea now would be jumping the gun.

    He obviously has a huge amount of skill, but he is very noticeably small and needs to put on some muscle, not that a player of his type needs to be a tank or anything but I think most spl players would make a point of flattening him. I'd guess he probably gets brushed off the ball in training by most of our guys despite his ability.

    If anything, we are the ones who should be * off.

    Nah at the end of the day the boy has skill and the fact he's not 'big' enough is our fault not his, it's not as if Rodgers hadn't seen him before. Don't buy this not strong not big enough bullshit, Scotland's a tough league but people are going on as if because he's a small lad he's 100% gonna get clattered every time.,

    He's a good player who id like to see get given a chance these last few games

    Don’t know how many times it needs to be said, he’s playing a bigger part next year.

    He's barely had a chance here, all this talk of him returning to Chelsea is surely a bit premature.

    I too think he will play a bigger part next season when Roberts goes back to City.

    Even Roberts hasn't been getting a chance of late though.

    apart from the instagram antics, he doesn't seem unhappy one bit, was part of the celebrations against the huns and looks like him and the french lads are getting on well on holiday. His celebration when McGregors goal went in was priceless, 99% sure he will be involved next season

    He needs to improve his strength, there is absolutely no doubt about that. You only have to look at Lionel Messi to see that you do not have to be a monster to hold your own against bigger players.

    Gary Mackay-Steven had the same problem.

    He’s gave him 6 months to settle in. It’s why he went for an 18 month loan. Calm yer * folks

    I spoke to a current player after the game on Sunday who played with him at Chelsea and he was very Candid in saying that he is bad news and won’t even sign autographs most of the time, by all accounts someone within the management told him to change his attitude towards the fans and he just ignored it and seems to think it’s not something that’s part of his job, it looks obvious something isn’t right with this guy and when his fellow players are happy to criticise him publicly I would take that as a very bad sign indeed.

    He is still young and hopefully he will change and the talent he clearly has in abundance will be what we are talking about

    gary mackay stevens problem was he looked confused/scared every time he had the ball, looks like he was instructed by deila to do the safe stuff which takes away most of what he was about- Not surprised he is doing well at Aberdeen. Musonda has looked like this at times as well, skilful winger that's afraid to take on a player with the risk of making a mistake and would rather play the simple ball. only time will tell I guess, also who gives a flying * what chelsea fans have to say about him, how can those * comment on him when they haven't watched him play 1 game ffs.

    Current Chelsea player? Or a current Celtic player who played with Chelsea?

    Messi is a monster though, people always use Messi as an example of a smaller player but Messi is absolutley solid - Messi is probably even physically stronger than some players who are taller than him like Aguero, Hazard, Coutinho. Musonda isn't even small height wise he's probably taller than half our squad, he's just very thin with no muscle on him.

    I actually can't think of a single good player in the top Leagues who is very lightweight certainly no-one even anywhere close to Musonda.

    The Celtic squad now are in probably the best shape they've ever been and it was badly noticable how out of shape Musonda is compared to them.

    All paper talk. I’m sure he’s working very hard in training behind the scenes to get into the team come the qualifiers

    Theres no reason why Musonda couldn't be that well built.
