    Better than he gets credit for. Play him beside Hatate and I think he will be at least as effective as Mooy. He scores, assists and can spot a pass. He works much harder than people think, I reckon most people who say that don't get to the games much. He is constatntly looking for space to receive a pass, I think people confuse speed with work rate

    Agreed. Before the season ends, I'd like to see him play together with a more mobile midfielder.

    Comes on and miles off the pace..

    The final straw was when he gave up chasing Youan back..

    A decent player but so * immobile it's frightening. Another night where he turns like a double decker bus, takes him about 3 swivels and gets on to his right for a shot and what does he do? Checks back left and plays a safe pass..

    I know there was far worse but he can * off this summer..

    It's been obvious for a while now that he's not good enough. Seeing him, O'Riley and Forrest getting ready to come on was grim. Zero pace.

    He is just not good enough we let someone like Rogic go and keep him? Nonsensical.

    He’ll be one of a good few that will move on and bring in some decent funds.

    Did a job for us last season but hasn't even got going this season. Good luck to him.

    I don't think he himself believes he's good enough to play for us tbh, it's a pity because he is a good player.

    At least he attempted to score tonight which is more than can be said for some.

    For a man his size he is not physical enough and to top that because of his build he’s not mobile enough

    Not good enough by a country mile for us. And I have never felt he was Celtic minded. Always looks disinterested.

    Another below average player. No pace, no mobility, no strength, can't dribble, no creativity, loves sideways and backwards pass.

    Has a decent dig on him and a passable first touch but that's about it. I'd bite your hand off for £5m. We'll probably get around 3 though.

    Actually think there's an excellent player there. He's just not suited to our style of play at all and you can tell he knows he's going to get moved on.

    He only has a year left this summer does he no?

    Probably get about 1.5 with a sell on..

    Didn't realise that. 1.5 sounds more likely. So we'll be making a loss on him then..

    Said before last summers window that I thought he’d be off then because of the contract length, surprised he wasn’t and will now definitely be selling at a loss

    Sadly - not an answer.
    Time to split ways as he deserves a decent career somewhere he's more suited for.
