Luis Palma

I think he’s a good player, probably just doesn’t suit our system that well.
I wouldn’t be against giving him another shot to make it here, but not against selling him and getting in a new winger in January either.

Wish him the best wherever he ends up!

 

MLS is a perfect move for him.

His style of play would make him a valuable asset over there.

 

I'd be half tempted to loan him to the MLS rather than sell. Think his value would go up similar to Bermabei if we did.

And with Kenny and Bernie's loans ending we'd have room for him and Nawrocki to go out, do well then sell when they come back.

 

Get him out of here, it’s obvious his heart is not here, move him on and get some money for him and hopefully he shines elsewhere as the guy has talent but has not settled in Scotland.

 

Hes a very good player but just doesn't suit our style. Sell.

 

Just not the right fit for our style and squad. Any kind of half decent fee will be a bonus that we can reinvest hopefully.

 

I could see the point in such a move and think Nawrocki and Holm would be a decent shout for such a move but if one of the MLS teams want to offer us close to what we paid for him, given all the other income avenues such as CL Performance, Bernabei likely sale, possibility Frimpong sell on (I know again), if we got our money back or there abouts on Palma I would take it and move on.

Kenny for me is similar in that if we think he has a future here try loan him in our league. If we see him going back to Shamrock Rovers ask for a decent fee of at least £500k and let him move on. They will have decent money coming in from their Conference League performance and can easily afford it.

 

There’s a report this morning that Luis Palma is apparently attracting interest from America, how do you view his position in your squad?

I haven’t seen anything on that but there's nothing really to comment on it. Luis hasn't played a great deal of late. He’s still a part of the squad. There's nothing else more. He's a good guy. It's been difficult for him.

Players have come into his position where he's played and done really well. If you look at the goal return of Daizen this year, the pressing and all this side of it.

He was out for a few weeks injured then Yang comes in and does really, really well. But he's working hard every day. He's a good guy. He's well liked within the squad. But of course, I can only pick a certain amount of players. But he will continue to work and may get the opportunity as we go along.

 

Seems out the picture now. Don’t think he’s a bad player, imagine he may well be looking for a move

 

Palma out, Jota in.

Happy days!

 

Moving to an MLS team is probably the perfect move for Palma. Hopefully it can happen for him in January as its clearly best for him and for us while he is IMHO a good player he just doesn't suit how we want to play so best to move on. We paid 3.5m for him so hopefully we can make a small profit and a sell on clause would cover things fairly if he sets the world on fire in MLS and gets a big move somewhere else.

 

Feel like there is a bit of Elyounoussi about him.

in the sense that he's clearly a talent and shows in flashes with his goals that there is a player there.

But styles don't quite fit with Celtic.

 

Hoping you are Peter Lawwell

 

I know it's pure fantasy booking. But the damage that Jota could cause in a game with this current form of a Rodgers side would be insane.

 

Jota, Daizen and Kuhn. Would be insane to have to start with one of those 3 on the bench.
