Should McManus Be Captain On Return?

well if mcmanus and naylor are there next year we can kiss goodbye to title he played on sat against wba and an error caused a goal.the guy is a complete liability and i dont want to see him at cp we need to go out and buy a dominant centre half

 

nah time for someone else to have a go

hooiveld and rogne should be the partnership next season if they look good pre season

 

Why don't we sign a couple of decent CB's instead of bringing Mcmanus back? Something which has needed done for years.

 

No one said he was best defender only that he could be the captain judging by his reputation and his interviews.

Rogne lOOked excellent in the 1.5 games.

Certainly neither have played enough to merit being named our best defence

 

Can i ask a question! how many chances do you want to give our players?

he has proved to everyone that watch's celtic that he is not good enough
so my friend you want him in the back line next season going for the title

We have to move forward maybe another manager will get more out of him but can we accept the mediocre calabar of a below average defender.


oh and yes he will come back a better player playing for a pish Boro

 

If he comes back then we are asking for trouble watched him again at the weekend and he was all over the place, Lets move on and bring in some quality.

 

critisim of big mick on here is * terrible ! we lost the league 2 year ago because he got injured at the end o seson and defense could not cope , then he gets loaned out this year and we lost title again and defense is shambolic , it is my opinion to say this but i hope he can return and be the captain and stay , so many opinions saying he needs to move on and he is not good enough for celtic , we are an spl team so who the * we gonna get ? vidic puyol vermaelen ???/ live in the real world !

 

Celtic Bhoy81 - was replying to this comment mate

 

If you start a thread like this you have to accept critisim on this topic
i have read through it and most of what i have read is contructive critism
pal.would you like all of us to agree with you? would that keep you happy

 

thats true , but he did win player of the year in the swedish league, or came close to it anyway. I think next year year it will be Hooiveld and Mc manus /loovens

 

I agree with the football points of what you said. Don't rate McManus at all, i think he is just a disaster of a central defender, his reading of the game is poor as time and time again he has been caught out in no man's land as teams attack deep in the final third, he cannot man mark at all and he offers nothing when the ball is on the deck (like Naylor and Caldwell it is a long ball to nowhere). The only nice things i can say about him is he comes across as a genuinely nice guy, sometimes when he doesn't commit a challenge on counter attacking strikers it pays off and every so often he does put in a great block/last ditch tackle. If Kennedy's career wasn't sent into unrecoverable decline by that romanian yob then McManus wouldn't of seen the first team and likely moved on. Again this is just a opinion but he is just the same when he pulls on a Scotland shirt.

 

Artur Boruc for captain, have said it for a long time.

 

"Missing Player Syndrome" at work here; the anomaly that the longer a player is absent through suspension, injury, etc, the higher his reputation and perceived ability will grow. Shaun Maloney is another classic example.

That said, I think he'll come back and maybe form a partnership with Hooiveld in defence. For a little while, at least.

 

No way- leadership requires-
1. Lead by example- don't think he does that.
2. Ability to motivate others- he ca't do that.
3. Organistaional skills- aint seen him do that.
4. Give praise when someone does something good. Maybe seen hi do that.
5. Give someone is not putting their shist in a boot up the *- Never have a see that.

 

I'm not a big fan of keepers being captains. How can Artur shout at the forwards? Got to be someone outfield. My preference is a centre midfielder.

 

Central midfielder would always be first option, unfortunately we don't have any that are leaders.

 

Even though he's my hero I think Artur is too unprofessional to be Celtic captain. I suppose you could argue that he's a better candidate than Brown or McManus though.

Ach who knows...........

 

All great captains had a bit of the nutter in them mate:

Lenny, Aitken, Viera, Keane etc

He's the most vocal guy in our squad and the biggest character, it could well be the boost he needs as well.

 

NO! watched him toil badly on Sunday, i wouldn't have him back near the place.
