    Probably our best player.

    If you take him out the side we are a lot less dangerous.

    Can see he is a level above.

    Goal of the season for me, easy. Unbelievable skill.

    Sure it was 'just' Albion Rovers, but thought he was brilliant today. His feet are quick as *, little shifts in direction you don't always notice. Bursts or speed. Some key passes and that goal. Oft.

    His goal was stunning.

    No keeper would've stopped that going in :shamrock:

    Unlike many players we've had in recent years, he's done the same thing today as he's done against Barca or Man City, pure class. That shot was as unsaveable as I've seen in awhile...

    I'm kind of glad in a way that he doesn't have the greatest reputation down south as it will make premiership teams perhaps not bid for him. He does definitely have the quality to play at the top of that league and worth far more than the £4m we paid for him.

    At 27 going on 28 I find it hard to imagine him going back down there.

    Can see the player who was at Swansea and got a big money move. An absolute steal.

    We need more players of his calibre.

    He'd never have come here if Brendan Rodgers wasn't the manager for him it's not about the league he's playing in it's all about working under a manager who brought the best out of him
    Brendan wanted him at Liverpool when he went there but Swansea wanted something 15-20 million for him and he went too City instead

    I think (hope) the stars have aligned with Sinclair and we've got his peak years.

    It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the EPL came calling again though, especially if he continues his form into Europe.

    He has pace, assists and goals. Which means big bucks now more than ever in England.

    Spot on!

    The only problem I can foresee is that he is English, he's been down south all his life, he still lives there, and his missus and wean is in England.

    If we get a (happy) 2 seasons out of him, before he might get a bit homesick, and get a right good return from him (both on the park and financially), then I'll be more than delighted with that - especially with the form he is showing in his early Celtic career.

    I dunno.

    Just get the feeling that as long as Rodgers is here he will be too. He said himself he is back to loving football again.

    He's made a fortune at City, he's sorted. Even with his wage at Villa and here he won't go hungry.

    It's upto him whether or not at the age of say 29 he'd want to risk it all again for another shot. He won't get a 'bigger' move than City again, you'd imagine.

    What happened to her joining River City and them all moving up here? Sees she's got a few episodes back in Corrie, not sure if that is permanent or not though. It all sounded kinda perfect when Scotty was talking about her moving up here and joining River City. Need to make sure this guy is happy both on and off the field for as long as possible.

    Yuup.

    Two or three more like him and we will be laughing. My first target would be to try and find a right wing version of him. Someone who offers the same movement and guile.

    Anyone see Armstrong I think it was, maybe Roberts, after Sinclairs goal went in, put his hands over his face. As if to say, "Noo, why did you have to do that to him Scott" :56::56::56:
