Makis Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Can't defend, though. In the SPL he's ok since opposition is so shite but he's been badly exposed in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Is this why it's gone quiet on Stones? Chelsea have been told a sale depends on us getting a replacement first? Hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Can't defend, though. In the SPL he's ok since opposition is so shite but he's been badly exposed in Europe.I'd disagree he's solid defensively and as a side they all fall short in Europe not individually and I can't remember him being totally at fault or exposed badly? Many of our own have been caught out in Europe but we deem them good enough or potential superstars You can never be sure a player will cut it in this league but I'd personally be happy with him here Edited July 28, 2015 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 £10m doesn't look so expensive with West Brom about to pay £8m for James Chester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 £10m doesn't look so expensive with West Brom about to pay £8m for James Chester. He's probably worth £7m-£8m in reality, but Celtic are well off financially so you'll always pay a bit more when they don't need to sell. £10m is probably about right. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, you don't get many Center Backs who can scored from Set-Pieces either, so that's a niche on his CV,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Starts for Celtictoday. Nice day off today, it's pissing down so can't do the gardens (chokka about that honest) so gonna lay on the couch and run the rule on him against the mighty Ross County.

Paddock Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 what was the verdict paddock ? Hard to tell tbh mate, he was playing against Ross County and without meaning to disrespectful he wiasn't up against anything near the stansard he would playing against for us, but... He done ok like. It's hard to tell properly watching on telly but Ross had a go at Celtic especially early in the second half. He looks decent in the air and comfortable on the ball but looked like he was caught out of position a few times but Celtic kept a clean sheet so job well done in the end. Nothing I got excited about, he's a big lad though but not sure he'd be the type of player to want to put himself about. First time I've ever watched him tbh.

The BBC report suggest he made a great through pass for their second goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) The BBC report suggest he made a great through pass for their second goal. It was the penalty he played the through ball for, he played a nice ball in hence me saying he looks comfortable with the ball at his feet. He had no part in the second goal.

chicagoblue Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I think £12 mill would get him. Him and yarmelenko would be my wet dream. Durr? He is not having a good game tonight and any scout watching would be half way out of the arena by now Watched both legs of the qualifying tie. Thought he looked distinctly average in a tie lacking any real quality. Thought Celtic altogether looked quite poor, but he hardly shone above the rest.

Phenomenal Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 He wont replace stones but nobody ever will... Thats why chelsea are going to spend 30+ million on him So lets sign him hope he is allright... Crack on and sign yarmalenko.. Full cash upfront if not bernard Id go all out to try and sign hernandez also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I think he's a decent replacement to be honest. Definitely got the potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kant Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Based on the highlights of Malmö v Celtic, he would fit perfectly: can't defend a corner kick to save his life. Thanks but no thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomenal Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Check out this video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/0ZtNyq9gLKY Does the commentater say he is better then john stones at the end or am I making that up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
