    I thought he did reasonably well, found it hard to get involved much because he was pushed inside into awkward positions because of the width gamboa was providing

    Did fine, but not the type of match I'd judge him on. Needs a run of games.

    Doubt he's ever going to be more than just a squad player here.

    Yeah I think squad player too. Doesn't make enough of an impact for me to be a starter. Well that and we've got Sinclair, Forrest and Roberts ahead of him. I thought he was alright today but didn't create any openings as far as I remember. As Monaghan says he was pushed into the centre of the field where I don't think he's too comfortable or natural.

    I would have subbed him at half time for Roberts.

    But Brendan likes him so we'll see.

    Likeable guy, hard worker. Hate to use the words "not Celtic class" but personally don't think he's got the ability for our level. Should earn good money in the English Championship.

    Trying to play the Sinclair role by coming inside, which just isn't his game at all.

    Kind of player that looks best running at players in wide areas.

    Reminds me of, dare I say it. Chris Burke. Maybe it's the blonde hair. Or maybe just a bit lightweight.

    I think its the best if he finds himself a new club, he will never start before Sinclair,Forrest and Roberts. There is also a Calvin Miller waiting for his first team debut.

    If he goes on loan it should be to England or Aberdeen or Hearts, a team we could eventually sell him to and get our money back.

    We should reject..

    Seems every player we have available is wanted by Hibs or Dundee United, which does NOTHING FOR US..

    Send him to the Championship...... In England..

    Don't think he'd show up well in the English Championship.

    Burke was a better player, I think.

    Don't think so. GMS has more in his locker. Just seems too nice to be a footballer, he needs a nasty streak.

    Zero point in a loan. Don't see why we can't get the 250k we shelled out on him back TBH.

    I think GMS has more potential, definitely. And agree that he needs that nasty streak.

    GMS will never have a 'nasty streak'. Ever.

    Remember when Burke took a bad turn in Aberdeen? And the Huns said he dehydrated, but we all know it was cause he was probably on the Sauce the night before :56:
