Stephen Welsh

Absolutely ridiculous what they were offering anyway.

 

Should have offered a bottle of tonic and some Freddo.

 

He also issued a hands-off warning to Udinese over young stopper Stephen Welsh.



The Serie A outfit wanted the defender on loan, with an option to buy but the bid was instantly booted.

On the interest, Postecoglou added: "He's going nowhere

 

Udinese have just signed Benkovic and they’re after another centre half on loan. Think they’ve moved on.

 

Ange Postecoglou speaks on Celtic youngster he has 'a lot of time for' and 'wouldn't expect desire for move'
Udinese’s attempts to prise Stephen Welsh from Celtic weren’t a matter that required Ange Postecoglou to enter the conversations. But the Australian says there was only one answer going to be forthcoming over the Italian’s offer for the Scotland under-21, believed to be £1.7million.


I haven’t really been involved in too much dialogue there but I am not surprised that quite a few of our players are getting attention as we continue on this journey and continue to improve and hopefully have success. But Stephen Welsh is not going anywhere at the moment,” the Celtic manager said. “I wouldn’t expect him to want to go anywhere because he is playing really well, he’s developing all the time. He is still a young player and there is more to come in his Celtic career.



Welsh made 19 appearances for Celtic in the first half of the season, following on from a run of games last season. And to Postecoglou, that total is the answer to the question as to how much he has been impressed by the 21-year-old. “Well he’s playing, mate,” Postecoglou said. “He’s like all of them, when they’re playing then you know they have impressed me. He has played a lot of football in the first half of the season but he’s developing all the time. He’s still a young player. I have a lot of time for him. He works hard in training and he wants to improve and keep pushing to make sure he becomes the best possible player he can.”

 

Caught under the ball for their goal, poor positioning in a game where he had very little to do..

 

Don't rate him..

Starfelt is a lot better for me..

 

He's no CCV but looked more assured than Starfelt at times (Which admittedly isn't hard).

 

Shocking performance.

I really don’t rate him, the amount of lazy passes he hits that put us under pressure frustrate the life out me, sure it cost us a goal against Leverkusen.

 

Nowhere near good enough in my opinion..

 

Content to have him as 4th choice CB nothing more

 

I hope this game finally ends the "better than Starfelt" quotes, nowhere near good enough.

 

This is exactly what people will say when starfelt next has a bad game and it's equally as false. Welsh is a good player who had a poor game.

 

Starfelt is miles better, that's obvious..

 

If we can get anything like £3m in the summer again we simply have to accept it.
