I see your point but Is there such a thing as fake pace ?
Hope not
There’s somebody out there on YouTube wanting Celtic to sign him
I think he might btw. He will get pre season to try and get a spot. Much rather he got some game time than the likes of zungu. Kelly is so technically gifted. I think he could surprise people.

Signing guys like Ferguson and Doig is like them signing players just to keep themselves ticking over. We need to find guys that can take us up another step. Otherwise it's stagnation Terry Munro style heading our way.
If Barisic was sold we would bring him someone equally good hopefully Doig gives us a go to option same as Patterson at RB.
Yet you probably hope we do go into it with Jack, Arfield and Wright.
Shurely not, he looks decent.
Whilst I agree, whoever we replace Borna with is going to be a drop in quality. Most likely someone not quite peak who the management team can improve.
Alan Campbell I think is on a free/ development fee and I think there's a player there.
With replacing Borna I'd rather we kept him for one more season if possibly James Maxwell has had an excellent loan at qots while he won't be ready to make the break through next season if we can get him another loan at a higher level hopefully he can kick on and be ready to break through in a years time
I doubt people on here watch Hibs games so they are saying we should sign him on the back of games against us and maybe some highlights.
Wilson doesn't lack pace he is reasonably quick and can glide by past players comfortably and is much better than Hagi imo in every department.
They'd have seen Patterson be the only full back of genuine quality last time we played. Good prospect with a lot of raw ingredients that we could certainly turn him into a player, not at £2m+ and certainly not as a back up. Same situation with Hickey
He would look like the next big thing if he was at Hibs.
Done well there, hopefully not dependent on them going up. Barker despite being injury prone at Oxford has got good reviews, same with big Edmundson. No reason why we shouldn't be recouping north of £3m on those 3 to fire into the kitty
I think that was always likely.
I think £3M is pushing it as they know we want rid but I still think we could get a couple of million for the 3 of them.
Never rule out the Gerrard effect.
I've watched Kelly around 5 or 6 times this season, he's always in space always on the move always available for a pass but for me just doesn't have the passing ability or vision, I do hope I'm wrong but just can't see the lad making it at Ibrox.
Part of the reason Wilson is constantly on loan is the fee Liverpool are asking.
Which they won't get especially with a year left on his contract now.
Possibly, if we could get him for a decent fee, then why not?Which they won't get especially with a year left on his contract now.
Perhaps a Kent type deal perhaps or cheeky loan fee and get him on a pre contract in January
Same was said about Kent, even though Wilson now has EPL/Championship experience (also moneywise). Methinks, unless Liverpool really want to sell, we might look at a loan and buy option first, and see what comes in from player sales in the summer. After all, a few months to go yet.
Bit of a difference with Kent IMO. he had a few unsuccessful loan spells at Freiburg and Bristol City. Harry Wilson has done well with Derby and Cardiff.
Same with the Veerman as well especially if PSV were quoted £8.5m for him when they were interested. A loan deal for Wilson might be more realistic but Liverpool will probably want to cash in on him now.
I think we could spend that kind of money if the staff thought it was worth it,providing we get good money in the way from player sales of course.
I guess it depends whether the investors are prepared to cover the losses again or if player sales will be expected to cover them. From what's been put on here with Veerman he's no interest in leaving Holland but you're right with Atalanta and I'm guessing they will be able to pay higher wages than us. Just don't see him as a realistic option to be honest.
It would be a drop in quality but if it resulted in a younger player, who counts as scottish for Europe and we made a significant profit, then maybe. We have to bleed in younger players at some point and when we do it usually hurts quality in the short term.
I’m sceptical this is a market we are in too, although I’ve no doubt Gerrard would be a major plus for a young midfielder, learn from one of the best.
