    :celt_2:Thought the wee man played a blinder tonight, for being out for so long, his passing was superb, his " shot " at the end off the crossbar, thought he played out his skin tonight.The pitch never helped any matters tonight but yet Crosas was as always so calm and comfortable on the ball, Can see him turning into a world class player in the future

    He's got great vision while the ball is coming to him. Miles better than Hartley imo. He can also win a challenge.

    great player but needs to work a bit on the Hartley/Lenny aspect of tracking runners. I think we have looked a bit open in the centre since Hartley lost his place. Much better going forward though! You can see Crosas and Broony being our CM for a decade now. Pity Crossas is on a buy back deal.

    I know what you're saying but I don't think he'd break into the Barca team tbh. Not when Iniesta and Xavi are there and when they also have the spending power to buy the best.

    I think he'll be a great player for us:50:

    Am I the only one who doesn't see what is so special about him? I think people may be overexaggerating because he's from Barca. I thought he gave the ball away a good few times tonight.

    I was the first to say "lets wait and see" regarding Crosas. But his eye for a pass and the execution of it is first class.

    He really looks a diamond. . .But lets not put too much pressure on him. He's still young and learning his game.

    the continuity player is often hard to appreciate but the team undoubtedly looks better and plays better when he plays. I think he thinks quicker and spots positive passes quicker than Hartley etc and that makes a big difference.

    Wouldn't worry about that. By that time they'll have Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas. :icon_mrgreen:

    Seriously though, I don't think I'm overrating him when I say he has potential to be a world-class player. I honestly think it's a fair claim.

    I love him already.

    He definetley sees a pass a lot quicker than our normal guys. He can also spread the play quicker. Thought a few passes tonight were exceptional.

    Still needs to work at his overall game, but looks a very shrewd signing from WGS.

    Also wouldnt worry too much about Barca wanting him back. If they do then he will have to be playing exceptionally well and at least we will have had the benefit of that.

    The man is a class act, just coming back from injury, just going to get better after each game he plays.

    I LOVE wee Crosas. I think he's the best passer we have...better than Naka. That ball he threaded through in extra time was just class. I want that man in the team every week playing beside Broonie. He's classy. Naka was good tonight also to be fair. HAIL HAIL

    Looked a class act last night. Great passer of the ball. Excited by what's to come from him.

    Hs range of passing is exquisite and his vision really is brilliant and he will only get better . For sure big ups to the coaching staff for identifying him AND signing him and lets hope hes the first of many
