BIG D Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 6 minutes ago, English Man said: He has a chance of european football. Most prem clubs can't offer this. I'd say from us to Celtic then possibly prem is a much better road map for him. Nonsense. He will get more game time (or he should do) but look at the standard by of players he’ll be up against. Sign for a Premier League team and the standard even in training will be 10 x better. No one can convince me that wouldn’t improve his game more than turning out against Livingston and Kilmarnock. I’ve said time and time again that I don’t blame him for leaving this f**king mess of a club but let’s not pretend this is the best move especially if Premier League clubs were showing an interest. If it was the only offer on the table (in February) then fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Pulis pushing to sell for another few bob in his retirement coffers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him up...fine, Sell him...fine Do neither...f00kin stupid Exactly. To think of how much money we've misses out on due to a complete inability to recognise when to sell or not. At this level, you've got to know when to move players on. I see clubs like Bristol City, Brentford getting 20 + million pounds for players and then there is us. We've made decent money on Joao and that's it. Everyone else has left on a free or for a minuscule fee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can stop any talk about healthy club, long term planing or chairman who knows what he is doing. This one line says a lot and shows where big part of the problem is.

It is only the middle of February though. There was plenty of time for him to catch the eyes of the Premier League big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beany71 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just out of intersest how many times did Pulis play Shaw ahead of Joey? We've had the new Gazza in the the reserves all this time and we've persisted with Joey! Dc deserves all the critism he's getting but how many managers have missed him? Of all the youngters I have seen mentioned on here in the last 18 months Liam wasn't mentioned that much recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not have the finances to complete with the premier league anymore but Celtic are a big club. The first club from the U.K. to win the European Cup and in the 2019/20 season the only clubs in the U.K. with a higher average attendance than Celtic were Manchester United, Arsenal, West Ham and Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Oh, and training with the the Premier League under 23s will in no way be better for his development than playing in the Celtic first team.

He might end up playing for Staveley Miners Welfare. That's not the big issue. The issue is his stocks high at the minute and we've missed out on some decent revenue for him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
