    hmm, an injury prone Scottish player. Will have to reserve judgement and hope for something decent.

    Barely looks 24 in the picture, and looks like he is tiny. (maybe just not a very flattering picture)

    Was a decent prospect about 4-5 years ago.

    This is the first time I've heard his name in the best part of 3 years....make of that what you will.

    Apparently he brings his own furniture with him :grin:

    please log in to view this image


    Some comments on various Celtic boards:

    "every time he loses the ball, he spends more time fixing his hair and pulling up his socks than trying to win it back" / "couldn't cross his legs" / "the fact he was even offered a new contract tells you the ineptitude of our management" <yikes>

    I think the fair-minded among them thought he had potential some while back, but this was never fulfilled, whether through constant injury problems or some other reason. I really hope this doesn't happen.

    WHY, do we keep buying players that are either injured or have a long injury history?

    Pacey, direct flair type winger Works his a**e off, up and down the pitch, although in no way a defensive player. A Redmond type. Although might take players on and get the the byline more. He is injury prone, but he is a raw talent who could improve a lot, if he can play a few games in a row without dieing.

    Are these comments about the same player? That's cleared it up then.

    Thank goodness those two posts don't contradict each other! <laugh>

    I could reel off dozens more derogatory quotes from fans who've actually seen him play (when he's fit), so no idea where "works his arse off" comes from. I won't be unkind and post those too, suffice to say he appears to have been flattering to deceive for a few years now, and it's hard to find any Celtic fan who'd be sorry to see him go. <ok>

    Sounds more like an assessment of a poor player!

    Can't be that poor if they have offered him a contract and club legends are urging him to stay. If he was that poor, they'd just let him leave.

    Sounds almost identical type of player to Redmond from what I've read.
    On that proviso, it would make little or no sense to pursue him - unless
    Redmond is off somewhere in the summer? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    From the looks of this

    http://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/ce...tm_campaign=Feed: co/IRuC (Celtic Quick News)

    It appears to me that the legends are more surprised he would turn it down as he hasn't been the consistent at all. One even suggests that he was lucky to be offered 4 years.

    Or because Redmond probably hasn't hit his targets this year and doesn't seem the same player?
