Hope Mendy and Simic Something about Cannon doesn't excite me. Probably as its a bog standard English name
He's beyond weird. Plays well wherever he goes other than Celtic. He's been absolutely dog **** for Celtic
Can he do enough consistently to get in ahead of Jobe/Rigg/Browne/Neil? At present, clearly not, otherwise RLB would have him in ahead of the others. RLB mentions 'consistency' an awful lot and that is Pierre's achilles heal. If he isn't going to play regularly, his game is going to suffer. he doesn't really fit the DCM mould where we need the extra man in the squad, and needs regular playing time to develop that part of his game/much better consistency.
It’s a tough call and not helped by terrible coaching and judgment last season and I include Mowbray in that with his ‘clever’ tactics that made us worse. It makes us judge players with ability badly or at least be ‘unsure’. I own up to being wrong about Roberts who is like a new player, the same could apply to others
Mowbray is the primary culprit when it comes to any fall-off for Ekwah IMO. He hobbled him with the nonsensical switch of him and Neil as the player at the base of midfield.
Last year must have been a nightmare for these players...the constant coaching changes left a lot of them confused. Hopefully now,we can start...as you rightly say with Roberts...to give them the opportunity to thrive.
This is it really. Neil is suspended for Saturday and I still don't think he'll be in the team. Seems silly to carry a squad player worth that much when that money could be redistributed throughout the squad.
I mean you’d like to think so, but his wages be massive. A 6ft plus lad who can play DM and scores the odd goal for nowt? You’d hope we’d have a look but it’s probably not the market we are in wages wise. Be £35k or so a week plus hefty sign on fee.
Given the club's after him I imagine he'll be taking a drop in wage wherever he goes. Probably still too much for us though
