    Someone needs booting square on in the nuts for dropping this guy.
    Not the finished article by any means but got heart and potential. We need his energy and bite in middle of the park, especially against them Hun *.

    Some sitting midfielders couldn't put that many fires out in half a season and this guy's done it in 1 game against the number 1 side in France..

    His potential is frightening..

    Mental how we have a DM like Soro, capable to tracking back, standing strong, being tenacious and breaking up plays, instantly turning to look for the forward attacking pass and to start a counter.

    Yet Lennon and now Kennedy rathered play an aging, slowing, Brown who rather sits VERY deep and watch the game unfold in front of him, being a 3rd CB more often than not. Then when he gets the ball, it is a slowing down of play with sidewards or backward passing.
    That's on the good days when he wasn't being forced in to pressure and slack passes the last couple seasons.

    The lad Soro will be one of the guys contemplating the future as well, certainly depending on what kind of manager comes in.
    We hire Kennedy or a Keane full time and you will see Soro, even Turnbull, start sniffing to get away.

    Self sabotage playing Brown ahead of him the majority of the season, had Soro started ahead of Brown from day 1, the season would have been very different

    I really hate us for the way we’ve just patched Soro. We’re such a jobs for the boys club it’s unreal.

    Lennon used to laugh at wanyama for taking shots in training. Look how that one turned out the big man scored a fair few rockets. Now he doesn’t play wee Soro in place of a guy with nae legs. Laughable

    Forgot about him. I wonder why he was dropped he was key in the old firm game closing down all the space going out wide. Travesty we lost that game. I blame the big Greek * in goal.

    For me he has to play vs them. Even if we play Brown, Soro should play too and push McGregor on.

    He will be a big part of the team next year you would have to think.

    Soro was the only bright spark for a month or so then found himself dropped after tiring late on in one game...just one of the many very odd team selection dramas...so easy to see how much he brings to the team, cdm should be his

    Hopefully the new manager utilises him properly.

    Anyone reckon a team could come in for him knowing the potential he has and also how we’ve been treating him? Could maybe get him cheap compared to if he had a full season behind him. And he maybe just want to get out after not been given a fair run continuously

    New manager will decide his fate, won't be leaving a moment sooner

    100% the Greek diddy and if he could actually make a save Jullien wouldn't have got injured the previous game meaning Bitton wouldn't have started at CB meaning we wouldn't have went down to 10 men

    Soro made a massive difference to our midfield when he played against the huns, it was the first time I remember us comfortably winning the midfield battle against them in * knows how long.

    Yet Brown will start next weekend, and they are going to have a field day against him, not looking forward to it at all.

    Could do a shift in the 8 beside McGregor with Broony behind them. As someone else said, it would free up McGregor and Turnbull to do their thing. Christie has been * anyway.
