    I have Rogic vibes about him, seems the same buzz, same hype and very similar types of (potential) player. I think under Ange he will thrive much like Tom so can only be a good thing.

    I'm not getting the Rogic comparisons other than the fact he's Australian :giggle1:

    For me he looks like a Christie type. And the comments on him perhaps lean more towards that comparison.

    Seems more energetic than Rogic.

    Naah, not like Rogic, although effective in the final third in a different way. They would do well together.

    Definitely more like Christie.

    The Celtic Star: Celtic are being linked with a £2m move for Riley McGree of Charlotte FC, what do you know about him?

    Larry Henry Jr, Managing Editor – SBI Soccer: McGree is an attacking midfielder who I think could be a good addition for Celtic in the final third. He has mainly played in his native Australia and in England with Birmingham City, but is another player who I think is in need of a move to play regularly. He’s creative and talented so Celtic could provide a good opportunity in a new environment.






    The Celtic Star: Why is he not sticking around in America?

    Larry Henry Jr, Managing Editor – SBI Soccer: Charlotte FC will begin its life in MLS this season, but McGree might not be ready for a regular role with the expansion club as it hits the ground running. I think a move to Celtic on loan might be better so he can play immediately rather than sit and wait at Charlotte. I also believe he would take an international roster spot with Charlotte FC, so a move to Celtic would help the club use that spot for someone else that they might be paying much more money for.




    The Celtic Star: What can Celtic expect from the 23-year-old?

    Larry Henry Jr, Managing Editor – SBI Soccer: I think Celtic can expect a hardworking midfielder who can help with goals, assists, and creative chances. McGree has earned seven caps for Australia and has experience in the England Championship, which is also a tough league to be consistent in. Celtic could use additional attacking help and I think McGree might be another one who could reap the rewards of a move to the Premiership.

    Don't like those comments from Larry Henry Jr, whoever he is... I thought we were signing one of Charlotte's best players, but it seems like he's a bit-part.

    They've not played a game as a club yet.

    Think he's kidding himself saying a guy who's been earning rave reviews in the English Championship and has 7 caps for Australia wouldn't start for a brand new MLS expansion side.

    I think a move to Celtic would be better instead of sitting and watching at Charlotte. I’ll have some of what you’re smoking Larry :rofl:

    I have no idea who Charlotte's other players are.

    But I have no doubt McGree would've been their best player.

    You’re too quick mate. Let me get my edit in haha.

    You think if I posted that he turned Boro down for us I might make it onto their forums?

    That is some proper reaching..

    All the talk in the press is he's agreed to come here and a done deal, yet a couple of scorned Middlesbrough fan's say he's going there on their forum and you're getting your knickers in a twist :giggle1:

    Aye mate, Bradley Wright-Philips went from being a decent league one striker who couldn't cut it in the championship to tearing up the MLS for like six years but a starter in a championship team "isn't ready" to start there. * * :giggle1:
