  1. Find me one post on this entire forum where I've said we should get rid of a player, bar Torres. I certainly haven't said that about Josh, have I? Or maybe I have. Please quote whatever you're referring to. People constantly did and still do comment on Lukaku's 1st touch - because it was awful. He was always given chances by our fans though. In that same very thread you'll see posts constantly saying "He should start ahead of Torres"; "I want to see Sturridge and Lukaku start together"; "Bring him back, he's better than Torres and ready to start games." Sure, some people didn't give him chances, but saying that no one did is a lie. I've watched a few games of Bertrand playing on the wing but that doesn't make him a winger, does it? Oh he does cover, definitely, but he doesn't take this deep role you're talking about at all. He plays central. Not advanced, not deep, central. He doesn't have no goals just because he sticks back lol. He's been right in front of goal numerous times and simply failed to finish. You can't say again with conviction THE reason why he has no goals when you've just confessed you've only watched a few games. If there is nothing to mock, how on earth am I attempting to mock you? I'm also assuming the comment about not being a good poster is sarcasm given your history of lying to the entire forum etc. A little name change doesn't change that. Edit: Just noticed what some would call a 'personal attack' at the end of that post of yours. I'm pretty sure that shows the way this is going and which poster is actually posting more substance here.
  2. Nani was once 19 and showed potential. He's not exactly Figo or Ronaldo now. Aquilani was once 19 and showed potential. He's not exactly the Xabi Alonso type of player he was tipped to be. That American kid hardly anyone can even remember was once 19. Age is absolutely irrelevant. You don't just have a hidden ability because you're young. There's no such thing as 'peak' years for players or 'breakthrough' ages. Messi turned into the world's best in his early 20's. It could be argued that Xavi or Pirlo turned into the world's best in their 30's. Get what I'm saying?
  3. @Kojo, This isn't Fifa or Football Manager. Just because you're young doesn't mean you have special hidden away powers which are only unlocked once you reach a certain level/age. He's not 12. He's not still learning about football. "No one gave Lukaku a chance" is probably the most false statement I've seen on here this year so far. "We are way too impatient no wonder we don't have any good youth products recently, we just want rid of our young players." - I doubt my or any other fan's patience has anything to do with the board deciding which young players get their chance here or not. The comment about him being a very good player if he leaves and joins somewhere else is a complete guess and variable. As for being a deep player, he's played deep probably less than 10 times in his club career, so that can't really be said with such conviction. He's not even playing a deep role at his current club. He's either been used out wide, behind the striker or in a normal central role. I see this post as one of those ones which sound very nice and supportive of a player with the typical "HE SHOWZ SKILLS AT YOUNG AGE SO HE WILL BE BEST IN WORLD SOME DAY, JUST GIVE HIM TIME." but with little to no substance, sorry.
  4. This is what I've been saying about us regarding sentiment etc. Lennon said Ambrose started because he was 'happy' and had a 'shine in his eyes' after winning AFCON; not because it was good for tactics etc. and it's down to him that Celtic are losing as bad as they are.
  5. NOW I'd write them off lol. Ambrose has been absolutely awful.
  6. Lichtsteiner and Padoin should be playing in the Six Nations
  7. I wouldn't really write Celtic off yet considering what we did last season y'know.
  8. If Celtic had John Terry they'd be winning 9-1.
  9. Regardless of this game, Celtic really need to learn how to do well from corners.
  10. One day I will have a beard which rivals Pirlo's.
  11. I must say, I cringe at some fellow Chelsea supporters on Twitter when they call PSG "P$G" considering how we got our quick success
  12. That McDonalds advert is quite good. Will never touch the food though.
  13. Lucas Moura really does actually remind me of Kaka - only with more pace and better dribbling (which is scary). Who turned Kaka into the player he once was? Which manager? Was it Carlo? Or was it someone before him who got the best out of him? If it was Carlo, I expect great things from Lucas under him! Surprised to see him doing so well though on the right hand too. Didn't think he'd adjust with such ease.
  14. Why was there only 1 minute added on lol
  15. There is absolutely no way that Celtic shouldn't have got at least 1 penalty for Lichtsteiner's karate on Hooper.
  16. Yep. Apparently more magic from Moura! I didn't think he'd make the step up from Brazil. But he really is.
  17. I genuinely believe the ref is favouring Juve. I'm not even a Celtic fan! Some of these decisions are just awful. This forum would be going absolutely mad if it was us playing.
  18. Celtic should have had 2/3 penalties. Serious.
  19. Lich and Hooper will be fighting soon!
