Josh Mulligan

Serious question; unfortunate, but also highly relevant in Scotlands tribal football culture;

"What school did he go to?"

 

Pretty sure it was a catholic one

 

Best compliment I can give the boy is I'd prefer he doesn't go to the huns.

I think he's a better player than Cameron, I know that might be viewing it a bit through Green Tinted Specs, but he's always impressed when I've seen him, looks rapid for a midfielder and looks physical too. I think he could go on to be better than McCowan too, who I rate.

I'd happily take him over the likes of Bernardo, alongside bringing in Brownhill and either keeping Hatate or replacing him. Would look a lot healthier in midfield.

 

Obviously, Rodri and Gravenberch are top players. That said, Slot was desperately trying to sign Zubimendi at CDM. Couldn't get the deal done and eventually settled for Gravenberch who was already in the squad. Likewise, City won plenty of trophies with Fernandinho or Gundogan at CDM.

Physical CDMs may transform into an extra centre half for defensive purposes. They are certainly useful, but they aren't necessary. For instance, I'd argue the best CDM in football history is 5'9" Lothar Matthaus.

BR's philosophy relies heavily on ball possession. There's a reason CalMac is a lock at CDM. If BR believed a physically imposing CDM is necessary, we would have signed one by now. Btw, Scott Brown was 5'9" and he was arguably our most physical player.

Agreed height is important for centre halves cause they are constantly battling for headers. Big goalkeepers gain an advantage as well. Even so, legends like Baresi, Puyol, Cannavaro or Bobby Moore were all heavily undersized.

Sorry for the off topic. I guess my point is I'd love us to sign Mulligan.

 

his dad wouldn't let him sign for "them" he's also a massive hoops fan just like his old man... who ive just spoken too cause i been pals with him from primary 1 ;0

 

110% spot on. We literally SCREAM out for physical players. Its ridirulous how every fan have seen it for years but not the ones in charge. Criminal.

 

it actually wasn't

 

Is the interest genuine mate?

 

have to wait n see

 

That might go in our favour then. If we want him his da wil be desperate for him to sign. Josh is likely to be a hoops fan too. Tbh we need a few who will play for the jersey

 

Josh is a Celtic supporter. When it first broke that he was talking with Rangers (around the same time as the 3-3 at dens) i asked, he's no signing for them is he... and was laughed at... What i will say is hes very good mates with Lyall Cameron, as they came through the youth team together as well as Scotland U21's...

No matter where he ends up the boys worked hard to get where he is, good luck to him, but his dad will be itching for the move to us, at the end of the day its down to him to decide. Apparently has a number of clubs talking with him.

his wee brothers no bad as well * knows where they got it cause his dad couldny kick his ain erse!

 

Mon you spill, we offered him a deal or not?

 

I couldn’t care less if it was a catholic one or not. I happen to be a catholic who supports Celtic but the z3 mates I go to the game with are not and believe me they are dyed in the wool Celtic fanatics. So it’s being the fan and playing for the jersey that counts

 

Was a joke mate … think you’re taking this a bit too seriously

 

He really impressed me whenever I seen him play for Dundee, he was a stand out along with the winger they had on loan.

 

Apparently he’s got a picture of prince William in his bedroom


No thanks

 

Thats why i said "an unfortunate" question.

Some people still carry that * like a bag of rocks.

Player's family and friends still carry alot of weight with young players. Billy Gilmours ma par example
