    I understand what you are saying but Brown has been immense this season and we miss him so much when he isn’t playing. A little too much.

    Ntcham as good as he can be has been inconsistent. We can’t just let a talented player like Kouassi rot away on the bench because our captain is in the form of his life. We should play him alongside Brown so he can learn from him and improve his own game which I have been very impressed with on the odd occassion he has got a game.

    We haven’t exactly been great defensively so playing Brown and Kouassi should help us out in that regard also.

    You say it might be too defensive but I think it would give us more freedom to go a bit more attacking with the protection that Brown and Eboue would provide the defence.

    I'd like to see Kouassi get some game time before the end of the season. I thought he played well during his run of games. I particularly like his attitude when he plays, high tempo, gets stuck in. Its probably been a frustrating 12 months for him - but he's only 20.

    Needs to be loaned out this year and really surprising he hasnt been loaned already.
    Maybe even sell with a buy back clause.

    Should have been put out on loan to the likes of Hibs or Killie. We as Celtic fans could at least make a judgement on him if he got 20 games or so in a row. From what Ive seen of him so far he looks decent and certainly hasnt looked like a poor player but simply hasnt played enough to make a definite call on whether he is a quality player or not. Brendan is obviously seeing him everyday in training and clearly doesnt think hes good enough to get anywhere near the starting 11. You have to to trust Brendans judgement and if it is the case that he thinks hes not good enough then this has been a very poor signing by Celtic considering he was bought for around £3 million. He been here far too long for anyone to say "he needs time".

    He’s been excellent whenever I’ve seen him except from Zenit away where the whole team was pathetic.

    His lack of game time baffles me. His weight of pass, his vision, his aggression and pressing, are all fantastic. He’s perfectly suited to our style of play.

    How much time does he need to get up to standard? Should cut our losses and offload, as mentioned above some sort of buyback clause could work. a Loan in January to get game time would have helped his development.

    Got to be said, what was the point of buying him if you don't play him at all..

    What did we pay for him £2m + and we're taking about loaning him out to get a good look at him, seems a poor bit if business thus far..

    Has he looked below standard when he has played?

    Embarrassing the lack of opportunities he’s had. Even if he was * when he played I’d be bemoaning his chances, let alone the fact he’s looked class more or less every time he’s played.
