    You could say that aye.

    Sometimes when a player feels out the picture then their season can just snowball out of control and be a disaster. A new season can sometimes be like a fresh start for a player.

    I'd call Juarez in, give him a bit of a pep talk and see how he feels. If he still wants to be at Celtic then I think we should stick with him and give him the chance to show that this season was just a blip.

    I'd sell him. He looked to have some real class in the pre season last year and in the early part of the season but something has obviously happened behind the scenes (around the same time he was banned from the national side), and he has barely even been on the bench since. If Lennon wasn't willing to even pick him in the squad for more than 3/4 of the season then there are clearly major problems which will be hard to resolve.

    It's a shame because he showed real promise. I'd love to know what happened.

    He is already looking for options, he doesn't want to stay unless Lennon can guarantee him playing time.

    I talked with his agent, he stated it is high priority in his agenda to find the best team for Efra this summer. He is not happy.

    Can't judge his attitude as I ain't at training every day.

    Give him a go.

    If we qualify for the Europa league group stages, we'll need every quality squad player we can afford. We'll be faced with a massive amount of games in a very short amount of time. We'd be wise to keep him as a precaution, at the very least.

    Don't see any point in keeping the lad. High wage earner. Would rather get shot of him if his hearts not in it. Talented player all the same

    Drop Wilson play Juarez.

    Wilsons had a great season but Juarez is a Mexico international. He walked staright into the starting 11 after hardly playing this season. He is VERY under-rated in Scotland.

    Lol those rumors are bullshit. Just like the ones saying he has bad attitude and not training hard enough. If any of this was true we would have. Heard of it here I've seen this guy train here in person and seen him play every other week for two years in person

    Juarez has no attitude problem. If he did Lenny would not sub him on occasionally or have persuaded him to stay after Brescia came in to loan him in January. You Mexicans need to realize that he might just not be good enough.

    How can you earn it when you don't get a run of games?

    Juarez has been playing quality in the CONCACAF gold cup and walked into the Mexico team after not playing a full season because they know he's a talented player. As much as I liked Wilson this season he would never get a game for Mexico if he was Mexican.

    This player did show some class at the start of the season, then was blamed for going out of Europe in my opinion? since then has only played bit parts, and we payed plenty of money for him so why do managers keep * about with players if he is not good enough punt him.

    How many chances has that useless samaras had, and we still have him on the books and this has went on with loads of managers, players that do well in training yet are * pish on the park, but players who play well in games get sidelined, the proof is on the park not on individuals minds

    Lets be realistic Wilson had a decent run of games the last half of this season but I still would not trust him at RB in Europe or even for a Full season, I will feel alot more comfortably with Juarez there, the lad just needs a decent run of games

    That would make sense is he came to the national team and simply didn't work at all, failing easy passes, being overwhelmed by opponents, etc. Not the case. You can see he is out of rythm, but when he starts playing he inmediatly gives results.

    He is good enough, have him start let's say 3 games, if you can make it obvious he is not up to the challenge I'll be the first to agree with you. But when he played he did great, so no way to think he is not good enough.

    he was a regular up until the utrecht away game then that was it for his season

    apart from a few sub appearances here or there

    hate that when it happens and he was scoring goals for us aswell

    but did he not have a chance to go to barcelona as right back and knocked them back because he wanted to play midfield

    maybe he found himself out of the team after utrecht and brown, ki, ledley then kayal ended up ahead of him for the rest of the season, i dont see how he can remain if that's the case because we still have all them midfielders

    but it does pose the question as to why we paid all that money for a player who doesn't seem to have much of a chance to play in our team, whats the cause of that bad scouting, was he lennons pick or was he lawells or another board members, strange one for sure though
