    Fair enough, thought the phrasing was a bit odd, but you are probably right :50:

    Don't like overrating players based on little evidence, but I think he may end up being Dutch international in not-so-distant future. Maybe not in first team, but getting called up and just being there will mean a lot. Especially considering their situation in central defence is not great.

    He hit a pass to Commons against Dundee United that went straight to him and just about took his foot off. He's the next £10million player. Every point we get in the champions league's an upset and taking care of Ajax puts him in the spotlight for a call-up to the national side.

    He looks like the best passer in our team, some of the passes he was pulling off were ridiculous for a centre-half.

    Gunning gets 3 game ban for kicking out at Van Dijk,should have had another 3 for his tackle on Lustig.

    I disagree.

    He led with his leg, he knew fine well what he was doing.

    He was trying to injure our players all game, little *.

    The leg he led with didn't really come close to hurting lustig though. He hurt lustig on the way down. Innocuously it seems.

    He is a * though...for sure.

    Talk Celtic in a nutshell. :rofl:

    Two games, two completely bonkers assessments.

    No offence to either poster by the way. (well maybe to Dubliner)

    Terrible away to Karagandy but that looked to be down to fitness, MOM for me on Saturday so I would say it's an encouraging start!

    Said I'd hold judgement and the signs are definitely there that this is a top signing..

    His passing is ridiculous and his aerial ability..

    Wouldn't surprise me if this guy chipped in with quite a few goals this year..

    Needles fouls and concentration,if removes this from his game he will be a top player..

    Impressed with him so far, early days but looking solid, think playing in Europe this season could give us an idea of his big match mentality
