    Talk of £3m.

    I can't comment much on him. All I know is he is fast as * and powerful looking.

    That sort of fee is quite a bit for us though considering he has no experience outside of the US.

    Based on the video I watched, he doesn't look fast.

    He's arguably the biggest prospect in North America right now.

    I've only suggested him about 10 times in the suggestion thread. The guy is class, big time potential and would fit in perfectly with Rodgers' style of play. Does play alot like Dembele, although he's more solid and less mobile. I would say however, thats he's quick rather than fast. He moves well in the box and on the break but he's not as rapid as some have said previously. Would love to see a Canadian in Hoops, hope this ends up happening, most likely this coming summer.

    Fair enough, I've seen him burst defences but defensively the Mls is awful, in my opinion..

    First thing I thought about him was this * fast..

    Correct, he's certainly had moments where he cuts into the box like butter, but from what I've seen of him he's not the fastest runner overall. He's not slow but I just dont think he's rapid. He moves alot like Dembele IMO, but he's got a bit of a bigger build, making him a bigger target but slightly less mobile. Overall, he's a solid finisher, experienced international and still only 20. I think we'd be hard pressed to find a £2 million striker better suited to replace Dembele.

    Looks decent but do we need another forward? And if he comes where does that leave Griffiths? Or is he Moussa's replacement? And while I'm adding loads of question marks, do you think he could bring Kaka with him??

    I would think he'd be the replacement for Moussa IF he ended up leaving. As for Kaka, is he not the * with the Gold Medal winning dive vs AC Milan in 2008 at Celtic Park? If so, * that.

    Depressing to even be talking of replacing Dembele already.

    It was Gilardino with the belter of a dive.

    Kaka is a wonderful human being with great character.

    Personally, I think he'll be here next season. Not leaving in January, and probably won't leave in the summer. Genuinely think he loves it here and would like to stay on another season before getting his big move. That being said, I think Larin is an ideal successor if he does end up leaving this summer.

    Would love to see Larin in the hoops. Best young striker in North America hands down. Would double the amount of Celtic fans in Canada as well.

    He looks decent , big, quick, strong and good in the air and can finish with both feet.
    He's young enough therefore fits into lawalls category of buy cheap and sell on big. I think he would be an ideal replacement for dembele if he does indeed leave.
