Mathias Kvistgaarden

None of us here will have watched him regularly, those that have watched a game he’s played 90 minutes in at the most 4/5 games would be it.

We have clearly identified him as worth it and that’s a rarity in itself. We have money there to spend, after nearly getting him this summer we’ll have continued to watch him and suss out if it’s worth trying again (another rarity that, usually we move right the * on and refuse to deal with a team again after goalposts have shifted)

If we go and spend big on this guy, we clearly have done the homework, bucked the trend of how we usually do business to get it over the line and have so much confidence in him being worth it. Lets not complain about spending money if we actually do it

 

I watch Superligaen quite often. He's a decent player with potential no doubt. If we could get him for a fee between £5-6m I think it would be a good deal for all parties involved. I doubt he'd be a starter for us when everyone's fit, but he would add more quality in depth.

He's also known for being the best/worst diver in the Danish league.

 

I’ll complain if I think the odds are it’s going to be misspent, and I’ll complain about yet another attacking signing who’s neither a true striker (apparently) nor left-footed, which minus Tilio, we lack altogether in our attack.

That amount of money for yet another right-footed wide forward seems like a waste to me.

 

I’d quite like to get somebody on the right Palma’s quality. I think Abada will be away, Maeda’s a player that is priceless and wasteful at the same time and MJ, along with James Forrest should be getting limited time and edged out the club now. Yang as a young back up to make better, a guy who plays off the right and can backup Kyogo and Oh as well I think is the exact profile.

 

No, he isn’t. I’ve literally just said we’re lacking a left-footer (minus Tilio). It’s the right-footedness that’s the issue; it’s so much not to do with which side he plays. A Rodgers system will work best with a left-footer on the right side, hence why Roberts did so well.

So he really isn’t the profile needed to be a right-sided Palma, as Palma plays opposite-footed to the wing he’s on (right-footer on the left), which allows him to cut inside more effectively.

 

But Roberts could never make that position his own above James Forrest, a right footed player who’s numbers scoring and assisting in that period were very good.

That system under BR thrived the most first time round with a right footed RW and a LW that’d cut in and be dangerous as * with his right. Palma has that RW covered.

Another winger cutting in and not stretching the game can make the game too narrow rather than stretching the play.

 

Which is why you play wing-backs rather than inverted. See Klopp’s Liverpool: left-footed Salah on the right, right-footed Diaz or Jota on the left (as was Mané before them); does their attack look narrow? No, mostly because they have wing-backs bombing on for width.

I’m still at a total loss as to why we should be skooshing £5-6m on this guy, apart from the blind faith in our scouting system that you were encouraging in your earlier post. With their track record, why would we trust them on this purely on the basis that we’ve seem to have gone for him a second time? Utterly nonsensical.

 

Classic wing backs is definitely the plan long term for BR, but you also don’t just force through tactics not suited. Right now we are kinda half and half, not fully inverted but not classic attacking full backs.

Even earlier this season before the freedom to move a bit inside was there, the full backs weren’t bombing forward as overlapping attacking full backs though. They were wide and supporting the man infront, we’ve just started allowing a bit more freedom of movement both to move inside or overlap though.

Think that’s more to play to the strengths of the personnel available than the end goal of how BR wants to play.

And it’s still adapting, Calmac looked far more comfortable further forward against Hibs, Tomoki more natural in that position. Whereas with inverted full backs and that support last season and year before, Calmac was a natural in there.

 

I watch him quite a bit actually, I live in Denmark, watch the Danish footie on the TV and go to AGFs games. I have had a keen interest in him since we were linked in the summer. He is has been stated really bad for diving, apart from diving the highlight of his season has to be this nightmare from the goalie.

I liked the look of him when we were first linked and think he's looked good this season too, from highlights at least. 5 goals and 7 assists for a young player is an excellent record.

 

Nowhere near worth the money imo.

We need cover. Not a new number 1. 7m? Gtf.

We should be looking at half that for him.

 

Shouldn't be signing a notorious diver, sounds overpriced as well

 

For those who have seen him how would you compare him to edouard? Cause apparently brondby value him at 8.5mil which is just under what we paid for odsonne.

 

7.5m in the record. 8.5m in the sun.

Obviously papers talk absolute pish, but if his price in anywhere near that we should move on. He's not even a full international ffs

 

He's Danish. Matt O'Riley only just got his first cap and we're asking for £20m+.

I'm very surprised by the comments here. Those who have watched him, fair enough, but for me he looks a proper live wire from his highlights, excellent finisher too. Versatile, young, I see so much upside to this.

 

‘Spend money Celtic’

*complains like * when it looks like we might spend some dough*

 

We spent 1.5m.on MOR, do you honestly think we'd have spent the numbers quoted for this guy on him?

Not a chance.

I'm not saying he won't be a good signing, I'm saying we're all familiar with how our board spends money. If we * the best part of 8 odd million on a striker/ forward for "cover", it means way less in the budget for the signings which we need to kick on long term IE. A * left back, and a DM.

For me, this way to high a fee.

YT highlight clips are usually complied showing the absolute best of a player, so there's no basis to sign a player on that.

Theres a video on YT called in "Mathias Kvistgaarden is unstobbable", and he literally stopped in most of the clips, running into people and falling over. Hes also starting to garner a rep for being a diver.

Again, could be a great signing. But not a chance we should be paying that type of fee.

 

Does it not get exhausting being so relentlessly negative about everything to do with the club you support?

It's certainly exhausting seeing another thread poisoned with your pessimistic ranting.

 

Have you not been screaming about our unwillingness to spend on players? Now you’re greeting because we’re linked to a guy, not even bid, linked, to a guy that might be a bit more expensive than normal?
