Matt O'Riley

What a * player.

 

Increasingly likely that we will get a big bid for him this window. Cant see us entertaining anything until the summer though.

 

Was he one that signed a new deal in the summer there? Hopefully he's been bumped upto the top tier and we can say to clubs 'we need him to win this league, if you want him now it will need to be astronomical money'.

£40 million now or £30 million in the summer.

 

smooth operator.

 

I just love how much he enjoys it here. It’s so refreshing.

In the past we’ve had the likes of Edouard and Dembele who at times towards the end just looked like they would rather be anywhere else.

Then you had the likes of Ajer who would be fully committed and show passion but you knew deep down they couldn’t wait to head.

But O’Riley, whilst we know he’s probably away in the summer, just shows so much love and emotion playing for Celtic. We go 3-0 up at St Mirren and he’s the guy buzzing the most for his teammate who’s scored.

Just has a genuine love for the club which feels * amazing as a supporter. Really want him to score in the derby before he heads

 

Remember last season when a lot of us said he's a player that we'd sacrifice to free up space for new players. * me in glad we didn't. What a * player.

 

He is some player for us. Where will he go when he does leave is the question. I think the EPL is too fast for him, for all that he is a brilliant technical player he does lack a bit of pace for that level, in my humble opinion.

 

Went to another level under Rodgers. We will do well to get another season out of him. Quality player.

 

He's been unreal this season. Classy, classy player.

 

Reassuring interview from him about his future here, but left a wee gap just incase by ending it with lets see


Just make it to the summer with him here eh, I don’t expect us to be able to have the pleasure of him here next year. He’s one who can go onto a very high level, he has everything bar being pacey but his positioning and football IQ more than makes up for that.

He’s a joy to watch. Composure for that goal was a pisstake

 

He’s easily good enough for the EPL.

Tielemans has done well down there and he’s running through treacle. O’Riley covers the ground much better than him, for example.

Loads of duds have good, lengthy careers in that league. O’Riley would have no bother.

 

I've got the fear he will be sold this month

 

0% chance. I bet my life on it.

 

Best attitude to have.
It means when the time comes we wish him all the best and even for the player themselves it’s always gonna look better for them from other clubs when they can see them performing and giving their All whilst also being passionate and showing their happy.
Must be a major turn off for a club to see a player they want become stroppy and performances to really dip whilst they’re trying to sign that player.

 

I think he’s got even better this last month or so even though he hasn’t been scoring as much.

The thought of McGregor, Hatate and O’Riley all at their best is ridiculously high at our level. All too good for this league.

if you are a Newcastle, Villa etc down there you’d be absolutely daft not to be in for him for about 25m considering some of fhe * going for 50m+ down there.

 

Player of the year IMHO so far. Absolutely top drawer on a consistent basis.
