Diego Laxalt!

Nothing turns the fans against a player more than their scum agent trying to create interest in him.

The guys been fantastic since he’s came in, let’s not turn against him because of what his agent says to the rags.

 

I don’t really see what’s so out of order about what his agent says. What sticks out to me is the fact he is apparently enjoying life in Glasgow, which can only be a good thing.

 

He was never going to stay after this loan deal.

 

Hoping he gets to experience the celtic Park atmosphere at least a few times.

 

He had my hopes up yesterday too, he was liking comments on his IG post when folk were asking him to stay.

 

We are a stepping stone for players like this now unfortunately

 

Lennon's been scouting him for a while, so Christ knows how dreadful the back ups are.

 

Could still be the case.

His agent will look out for himself and a move to the Prem makes him more money.

There’s so many hoops to jump through to get him here in terms on agreeing with Milan, himself and his agent. It’s always going to be a long shot, if things were right I’m sure he’d like to stay.

 

When weren't we?

 

I'm old enough haha but I can remember a time when we weren't.

 

I can remember a time when we weren't even a stepping stone, not the other way about. Even the MON years were about getting more from established players.

Viduka, VVD, Wanyama, Dembele spring to mind as those that have used Celtic to progress their career.

Other than Henrik I don't think we can claim to have been the pinnacle of any top rate players career. Although admittedly Henrik is the best player of the current and last century.

 

Honestly I think he’s been overrated by the support so far.

He’s a good player but as someone else said, we need better.

I suppose he could be better if he was being coached and managed properly. Right now he’s a headless chicken. The amount of times he’s playing the other team onside is unreal.

Even in possession he’s never where he should be. He’s knocking the team off balance.

 

Bit overrated I must say.

Seemed tenacious when first saw, but that's kinda dropped off. His final ball is poor too.

Defo better than Taylor mind you, them again a traffic cone is more useful than him.

 

Was really eager for us to sign him long-term after his first few performances but in the last couple of games he hasn’t been convincing.

Due to the fact we play against a low block each week, we need our full backs to: A) put in good crosses and B) be able to beat a man. I’m not sure he has either of those in his locker?!

Or it’s maybe due to the chopping and changing of systems and personnel? He’s not been able to establish a good partnership with someone in front of him.

 

He's beginning to come inside too often. Didn't do it much when he first came so don't know why he's started to do it now. Maybe those in front of him aren't giving him an option to pass to but, if he continues to do it, then he is just similar to Taylor with a bit more dig.

 

His performances have dropped massively since his first few games, for whatever reason.

He started off solid defensively but didn’t do much going forward. Now his defending is taking a hit and he’s still fairly poor in attack.

I don’t rate Taylor at all but I feel like he creates more chances.

 

Started really well, a bit disappointing over his last couple of appearances.

 

I really like him. He clearly has something about him. Needs to massively work on his final ball though.

 

He looks a decent player. His energy and effort was the stand out factors for me.

He's not done enough to show he deserves a big money move to England.

 

I would have him in my team over half the permanent * hawks in the team right now. He should always play left side for us currently if fit
