    Better than Duffy but not good enough. A poor mans Ramon Vega. Every second challenge he makes is a foul.

    His last ditch tackle to deny Aguero who was in the box 1v1 first half in the 3-3 game is still one of the best tackles I've ever seen by a Celtic player

    Him and Jullien doesn't sound like a bad CB pairing imo, but I'd still be looking for better

    We are hiring a manager who likes to play a high line and aggressive pressing game, Erik was a good player for us and I think sold far to prematurely considering his replacement was a coward in Boyata, however Erik has zero pace, grabs * and gives away cheap fk's, isn't aerially dominant and isn't brilliant on the ball. Why the * if theres an ounce of truth in this are we looking at him?

    More worryingly is that our recruitment appears to be at an all time low if we are aiming for players of this ilk, our backups (in every position) need to be at a level where they are pushing the starters to get better and that raises the standard of the whole club, Erik is not going to get any better at this age and it's worrying that we feel he would be a good backup option because knowing us we will miss out on all our 'first choice' targets and end up starting him, he isn't good enough and I would rather us spend a little more on a quality backup than someone who can 'just do a job', we need to be aiming higher as a football club and its simply not good enough.

    Hopefully it isn't true and I have nothing again him I thought he got a hard time of it here and should be better remembered but the ship has sailed.

    If we’re bringing him back I don’t see why either side would go for it unless it was because we wanted him to have a key role.

    Is it not a bit concerning he never got national call up? From country with a similar population to scotland

    The Times has it as him being interested in a move and no mention of Celtic's interest. I think this is a complete non-story.

    Hopefully it’s a non-story.

    I liked Sviatchenko but if we’re signing him again it’s purely because he’s desperate to be here and therefore easy for an incompetent board to do the deal.

    This would be the board room signing players. A near literal return to the Deila era. If there’s anything in it then it should be rejected completely.

    He loves us that much he'd probably let a goal in

    Big Ange must watch a lot of Danish football because he's the person who has the final say on signings:39:

    He'll fit right in along with Paddy Roberts, Vic Wanyama, Gary Hooper and Joe Ledley. He will also have Izzy and Mika who were to have their contracts extended. Can't wait for the Scott Brown stories next year.

    The fact he hasn’t posted anything in his insta about being paired with Celtic tells me he’s on the way back
