Thug Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just watched a highlight reel on YouTube and can draw only one conclusion. The defending in the SPL is awful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I have no idea how good he is. He scored 22 goals in a season, in a league where 4 years ago Leigh Griffiths scored 31 In 34 appearances. This was 2 years after managing 12 in 26 for league 1 wolves. £30m is far too much for any player in the SPL. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Got 4 goals and 1 assist so far this season as well in only 4 games. Last season he finished with 27 goals and 19 assists in 45 games. And got 6 goals and 5 assists in European competitions in 13 games. So not really a bad haul. If we signed him it would be an unbelievable signing he is tall fast and strong but most importantly skillful. If we have him and Wesley off the bench cbs will get no rest and will have to play someone who can physically contend with them for 90 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did van Djik at the time, and they sold him... to that big club Southampton. They can fart all they like about them being a massive club, but in that tin pot league they have zero pulling power compared to the premier league.

jacketspuds Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Really hope this one happens. Bringing in Edouard, Watkins and a winger would transform this team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Never seen him play, but has a good reputation and is doing it for France u21s as well as Celtic which shows he has something about him. The French set up up at the moment is very impressive. I like the fact that he has numerous assists as well as goals which shows he has more to his game. For those who scorn, coming from Scotland, the last few years Forster, Wanyama, Van Dyke and Trippier have all done well since moving south of the border. From what I’ve read about him he seems the type that if he joined another team, there would be comments after a season along the lines of “Why do we never take a gamble on these type of players”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Leigh Griffiths also came from the PSG stable, and had a 2 goals per game at U21 level. Surely the better comparison would be Moussa Dembele (also from PSG, via Fulham)....

You cannot claim that. And I completely disagree. He would and does earn way more money at Villa than he ever would at Celtic for one thing. Villa sold him the vision of being a premier league player and that's what he is, and it trumps being at Celtic. Easily.
