Tez500 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) I am all for this transfer, much more than Watkins if it is one or the other. However, I cannot see why Celtic would let him go prior to the resolution of the Champions League Qualifiers. That would be middle of September, with round 2 starting on Wednesday.

He has been one of the best players in every team he's played in, has already has a world cup and could have a champions league tonight. I think he's made it. I can see what you’re saying but I don’t think anyone can say they’ve made it until they are 40 years old and they can look back at their medals and trophies and say ‘Yes, I made it as a professional footballer.’ Players that think that they have made it and still playing are foolish in my opinion. If a player had that attitude then he or she wouldn’t be respected in their dressing room for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And HTF does McGinn fit into that paradigm with Hibs? For VD see Maloney. For Dembele see McGeady. Some players have done alright, but it's stupidly easy to find those who haven't. It's such a piss poor league Scott Sinclair left us and went up there and scored 17-18 goals or whatever it was. FROM THE WING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Obviously the dangers of YouTube, but you can just tell yes different gravy. It’s like seeing Grealish in our team and the class is just obvious and not just highlight stuff. Get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 If you look at the players who've left the Scottish Premiership for big money most of them have done okay... These are the top eleven... Kieran Tierney, Moussa Dembélé, Van Dijk, Wanyama, Hutton, Fraser Forster, Alan McGeady, Jean-Alain Boumsong, Craig Gordon, Carlos Cuéllar, Stillyan Petrov...

Without at least 2 decent punathons, I think we'd do well to get past 80 before he signs though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Ignore the league he plays in and look at the player himself. Grealish was excellent in the championship but you could tell just by watching him that he'd have no problem in the Premier league, Édouard has that same quality.
