    Definitely bud..

    Was talking earlier about how I've always wanted ardt footed right winger who's rapid, can beat a man and assist/score. Early pre season before Chelsea and City I was desperate for a first team right winger in....and then this boy really came alive in those games and has been a different animal consistently to date..

    He's frighteningly quick. His close control and skill is top drawer and he is coming up with the goods all the time..

    I love him. As I said above. His turnaround from last year had been remarkable where he hadn't quite settled..

    A couple of times somebody should've played him in for a goal too. Great performance but more to come from him.

    To be fair mate, I thought he was decent when he first came in at the start of the year, indecisive but knew what his role was. You can see why he was at big clubs coming up.

    Think he’ll be a star for us for a few seasons, he’s like the perfect mix of a star for us but not quite top level, and I’m delighted wae that.

    Aye I hear you Doogs. It was the huns game away where I felt he was hiding that done me and he was sort of scared to impose his self on games, wouldn't take his man on when we all knew he was rapid and could skin * for fun..

    He's the man now, 100%..

    I honestly thought we’d have went with Jamesy from the start tonight mate, Brendan trusts him in the big games.

    Proved to the gaffer he’s got it tonight and that will only do him big wonders.

    The funny thing is, I actually think he'll do more damage for us against the better sides who play a high line..

    I'm really intrigued to see if we can replicate our pre season counters and quick breaks with him, Maeda and Kyogo..

    The speed he runs at whilst the ball is at his feet is frightening.

    Aye he’s rapid in behind, even against the league sides he’s finding pockets high up with them camped in.

    We’ve done well to give him a chance imo, quality player waiting to flourish.

    Close control and technique are outstanding. He’s also now tactically aware and a grafter.

    A fantastic player for us now.

    Great performance...

    He did take a few risks that may get punished by better opposition..

    Definitely mate..

    As mentioned and he's been doing all season, his close control at speed to go by players in tight spaces is as good as any. Was doing it on the weekend around 3 players edge of the box and you're thinkin * me how's he managed that..

    So much more to come..

    Definitely. Like Abada, give him a bit of space in behind to run straight towards goal and it'll be lethal.

    What a turnaround. Rapid and dangerous and full of quality and getting the numbers to back it up. Full of graft too. Delighted.

    Aye he’s a player mate, looking forward to seeing his progress this season. He’s the type of player I like, he suits the managers way of playing as well.

    When you think of the wingers we’ve had and left recently , Jota, Abada… and even Meada who’s still here, he kinda reminds me of a mix of all 3, skill, style, work rate.

    I've never seen anyone with his pace and energy for 90 minutes. People may say Agathe, but he wasn't winning the ball so much in the opposition half at 5-1.

    No as clinical yet as Abada but miles better, and miles better potential. Definitely lethal for the break..

    Much quicker. Much better close control. Can actually go by a man. Stronger in the challenge. Can pick a pass better..

    Just needs to occasionally snap a shot away. Definitely coming good.

    I'm assuming you mean apart from Daizen.

    He is playing with a flair and confidence that is so good to see this season, and he has certainly nailed down that right wing spot for his own, and I love the way he tracks back to help the full back.

    One of the first names on the team sheet for me.

    There is not a weakness in this current Celtic team, it's been a long time since we could say that.
