The end of Paddy Mc Court at Celtic

pains me to say it, but it looks as if lennon has lost interest in paddy. Havent seen him feature in weeks/months. Today at 2-0, even 3-0 up was a chance to give the guy some playing time, yet and all he sits on the bench. The last time i can remember him even getting a chance was when we were 0-0 and couldnt find a way through, paddy comes on takes it round 2/3 players and plays stokes through to square it to hooper and we win 1-0

The guys commitment to the club cant be questioned, neither can his effort, I hope for his sake if hes not in lennons plans that he moves on to somewhere, where his talent can be fully appreciated,

In saying that I really hope im wrong and lenny gives him a proper run in the team very soon

 

don't think he is good enough for the big games and isn't as consistent as the people ahead of him

 

We didn't need him today, we only need to use Paddy when we're desperate because he's a luxury player that we can't afford. Lennon watches him everyday in training and he knows best.

I would keep Paddy if he's willing to stay, only playing a part at times.

 

He isn't the good enough to move on to the next level with us IMO.

 

Gary Hooper interviewed in The View couple of months ago said Paddy was the best in training. He has to move on for his own sake.

 

What id say too, we only need McCourt when we need a goal with 30 minutes or so to go in games as when games are won theres no need for him to come on and he isnt really ever going to get a start in midfield considering the amount of guys who are ahead of him Samaras, Forrest, Commons, Ki, Brown, Kayal, Ledley and Wanyama who we struggle enough to fit in.

Id still keep him though but if he wants to leave for regular football then I would wish him the best as hes great to watch.

 

I think Paddy is more of a trouble shooter and brought on near the end of games we have been struggling in. Judging by the run we are having at the moment his services have not been required.

I think the guy would be better to move on for his own good TBH.

 

good, overrated and sick of hearing about him

 

This, decent squad player for us. Wont be anything more.

If he wants out then we should loan him to a championship team until the end of the season to increase interest.

 

Different being good in training and being able to be a good team player and be fit for 90 minutes tbh. He'll only ever be a bit part last throw of the dice here. Not good or fit enough to be any more.

 

and what exactly did we need to bring on cha for???

i feel really bad for him, hes quality, he bails us out time and time again when called upon, dont see a problem with giving him a run out for 10 or 20 minutes a game to keep him sharp.

 

cha was the natural replacement for matthews and it would mix up the balance of the team to bring on paddy

 

hes * anyway. hate it when he plays.

 

McCourt needs to sort himself out before he should be playing for us. If he doesn't want to give up smoking/drinking excess amounts, then he doesn't deserve to be playing week in, week out.

 

I was raging when Cha came on, stupid sub. Bangura and Paddy have hardly kicked a ball all season they should have been brought on along with Izzy.

I love Paddy and just wish he would get more game time when possible.

 

Paddy McCourt is an absolute genius with the ball at his feet. There are other parts of his game which arent the best but his dribbling is up there with the best.

 

Not good enough. I actually wonder if he'd even be good enough for the championship, not many teams down there could afford a luxury player like him and he'd end up in the same positions he is here.

I'd say the SPL is perfect for him, a team like Hibs.

 

Complete ill informed bollox.

 

if i remember correctly, cha actually had a decent couple of games for us but was dropped for the old firm.

i like paddy, and happy for him to be at celtic, but i dont think 4-4-2 is the right formation for him to play, he should be playing either behind the strikers or the wide man in a front 3, buuuttt .. it's up to him. i cant see us changing our formation just to accomodate him, and cant see him being a first team player, so if he's looking for first team football ( which i seem to remember him saying at the start of the season? ) then he should move, and i wouldnt have a problem with it tbh.

good player, but we have alot of good players at celtic, and we cant play all of them!
