Wade Garrett Posted 23 June, 2018 Share Posted 23 June, 2018 People writing him off before he’s even signed need to have a look at themselves. Perhaps I’m a bit old fashioned but I’ll wait to see him play for Saints. I also believe clubs our size have to sign some players with potential, there are 26 year olds in Scotland who are at the peak of their game. Obviously you wouldn’t want to sign one of them, but part and parcel of scouting is identifying the ones that can improve. Put the guy with better players, in a better league and he could blossom into it. Amateurs like us wont be able to tell, but a professional scouting set up, that’s monitored him for months, if not years, could do. Championship players don’t stay championship standard their whole career, some thrive at a higher level. Maybe he’s one, maybe he’s not, but £7mil is peanuts in the modern game. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk It’s great that we’re signing a player that we’ll get their best years from, rather than one that we’re looking to make a profit from.

Chez Posted 23 June, 2018 Share Posted 23 June, 2018 Celtic fans seem to feel he's the 4-5th best midfielder at the club just now.... if that is a true reflection of the majority of Celtic fans then it is deeply depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 23 June, 2018 Share Posted 23 June, 2018 If he is the replacement for Davis as many on this thread are suggesting, does that mean Davis is actually leaving? He has been terrific for us, all be it a poor last season, but if he legs hve gone then I can't see anyone interested that can actually afford his wages, thus he will see his contract out.

I cant see him going anywhere, which is a problem.If he was willing to take a cut I could see him doing pretty well at one of the better championship sides. He is a great pro, would be an example to younger members of the side. Wonder if Frank Lampard is looking to add experience at Derby County?

He has been terrific for us, all be it a poor last season, but if he legs hve gone then I can't see anyone interested that can actually afford his wages, thus he will see his contract out. Don't think it means Davo leaving. But he is not reliable as Hughes found out at the end of last season, makes sense to bring in a replacement/competitor/backup for his position going into his last season. They could probably play together in some circumstances. In the past I thought Davis might go back to Rangers, but can't see Gerrard wanting that (don't know why, just doesn't feel like the way Stevie G will go). Think Davis is possibly being lined up for a coaching role once he retires. have we even heard any news about his injury? Diid he have an op as was suggested. Can't see us offloading our club captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
