James Forrest No less than 10 milion

to connolly88

Well ive posted 1 thread today this one ..

You must enjoy my threads because you like to comment on them .. i really have not came on here to argue with fellow celtic fans , but if you dont think forrest has the potential to be sold for 10 million far enuf . But i
do, my underlying reason for thread was to highlight that if people like harry redknapp are going to publically show intrest in one of our best players then they can pay big money for them . Chelsea walked all over us this summer - if we are going to pump alot of money into lennoxtown then we need to sell the big talens for money

 

See now this I would much prefer.

 

I found it funny the way people were saying Forrest hasn't performed as well in Europe as McGeady.

Forrest has end product to his game. That's the difference and he doesn't mess about with fancy foot-steps which enabled defenders to mark up in the box. He's fast and direct the way a creative player has to be in this day in age.

 

I would dispute that Ki is one of our top players, I have never seen what others claim to see in Ki, he is a liability and keeps better players out of the team. In his Celtic career I remember one game where he actually impressed me and that was at Hibs this year. I'm sure he would be decent if we played him with two other central mids but we don't have that luxury in the SPL we have to play two strikers generally. Selling Ki could also generate enough money to buy a decent center back, selling McCourt could not. Frankly there would be no point in selling McCourt he earns very little and couldn't command much of a transfer fee, he is also very useful as a sub so I can't quite see why you want him gone.

 

Where did they say that they ACTUALLY wanted them sold?

 

Don't even want to contemplate selling Forrest.
Brought through the ranks, fantastic talent and heaps of potential and a Celtic supporter through and through.

Exactly what we need in our team, and as someone said earlier I'd love a team dominated by homegrown talent.

 

Getting a core of good young players like Forrest, Mattews, Ki, Ledley and the like together is just what we need. As mentioned in another post we also have some real up and coming talent in our under 19's that will be first team players in a year or three hopefully.

If we can keep these players together we can really build on this for years and years to come without having any massive outlay in bringing in half a dozen new faces every year. Let's face it, the state of Scottish football atm on the financial side I think it's best that we tighten the purse-strings until things are looking rosier.

 

One of the best talents in british football?

LMFAOLOLROFLPMSLLMAOLOLHAHAHAGWAHAHAHALMAO

That's how much I laughed at that statement.

Totally unproved against an form of decent oppositiion. Has played 1 half of a season consistantly.

However you stick him up there with...

Lukaka
Kakuta
Livermore
Boyata
Jones
Mccechran
Cleverly
Fabio
Raphael
De Gea
Ramsey
Oxlade Chamberlain
Walker
Bale
Henderson
Coates
Savic
Balotelli
Macheda
Pogba
Welbeck
Bebe
Smalling
Frimpong
Coquelain
Wilshere

And thats just players from the EPL that are LEVELS above Forrest. He is no where near a top talent in the UK. at all. Tottenham scouts watched him and said, Aye buy him he looks awright.

 

most of those players are older than forrest and about half of them arent even as good as him
Bebe? are you having a laugh mate? has he even made an appearance for man united yet? Im pretty sure they realized what a horrible mistake they had made after he had had a couple training sessions with them. They bought him for 7m and now are ready to sell him to beskitas for 2m if they want him after his loan there.
kakuta, livermore, boyata, oxlaide chamerlain, walker, henderson, savic, macheda, pogba, frimpong, mceachran and Coquelain. are all not levels above forrest infact most of them arent even better than forrest it seems that you are falling into the trap of overrating these players because of the league that they play in. A league, may i remind you that some of them have not even played in yet. A prime example of this is paul pogba, he has a whole 2 sub appearances in the league cup for man united. You argue that forrest has only played 1 consistent season and then say pogba is better. Surely even you can see the irony mate.
As for the other players you mentioned these are the very best young talents in the world. Sure they are better than forrest but that doesnt mean forrest isnt one of the best prospects in british football especially as he just stood out as the best player on the field while playing the Netherlands U 21s

 

Hate to rain on your parade of wrongness mate, however. All of the above mentioned players play against better players week in week out than forrest does, even if its reserve matches.

SPL simply does not have the playing talent to advance a youngster like forrest in terms of progessing against quality opposition.

Bebe - Is a quality player. Hence why Man U and Besiktas want him. He just aint adjusting to the EPL.

Forrest does not go above anyone on my list. I am sorry. I watch tonnes of world football and spend loads of time understanding what makes talents players and league levels, not to say you dont. My opinion is simply my opinion. However, for me. Everyone of the above mentioned players can and do deserve a higher price tag than forrest, taking everything into consideration.

Fair enough you can only beat what is put in front of you, so Forrest needs to make that move but I only see Tottenham on the look out for him. I don't hear Man U, Man City or anything banging down the door? They have some of the best scouts in the world and I tend to trust their judement more than peoples on this forum.

 

First off Bebe is * and you know it, he was bought for 7 million and Man U are desperate to get rid of him for 2 I think that tells its own story don't you.

Second you are delusiional if you think half those players on that little list of yours are better than forrest, most are quite a bit older and several of them don't even get a game. You say you don't see Man U or City banging down the door for Forrest, look at your list, quite a few players on there struggle to get a game for lower level prem teams I don't think City or Man U will come calling anytime soon for Jake Livermore who couldn't get a game during any of his loan spells in the championship

 

That may be true (although forrest plays in the Europa league with us and is already a full international, so its probably not) but the fact that they play against better players (while this may improve them) does not infact make them better than someone who plays against worse competition week in and week out. I also disagree with your second point which it seems to me is saying that celtic will not be able to produce any quality youngsters in the near future due to the level of our league. Infact i believe we are on the verge of seeing an incredible generation of youngsters breaking through. A group that has already beaten the youth teams of Man city and liverpool over the past two years. A look at James mccarthy, james mccarthur, or aiden mcgeady would tell you that young talents from the spl when given the chance abroad can prove themselves and develop into top players.

 

Aye

 

Forrest and Kakuta played against each other in a Reserves game about 2 and a half years ago. Celtic V Chelsea and Forrest ripped them apart, scored 2 and set 2 up. Kakuta scored for Chelsea I think too but even then Forrest was miles better.

Only a handfull of those you mentioned are better than Forrest. Some/most arent anywhere near him.

 

You seem to be taking pleasure in putting down our best young talent. Hmmm.

 

I couldn't care less how much he's worth, I don't want him going anywhere.

As long as he keeps improving and playing exciting attacking football, which he's shown all the signs of doing so far this season. Plus, I think it's important to have home grown players in the side as they have better knowledge of what the club means to the fans than foreign talent.

Hope he stays with us and becomes a top player.

 

I hope we don't sell him, jesus if he goes we would be up * street right now as he is the only constant in a season of mediocrity at best.

 

No I am correcting people for saying dumb * like he is one of the best talents in the UK. He is no where near that. My list is only prem players too.

I think Forrest is so overrated, but our fans tend to do that. Take Liam Miller, Maloney, Burchill and Wanyama for example.

We have exported in recent years one youth, and not even for that amount of money. Forrest may have played a few matches in the EURO competition, but I have hardly seen him shine in any of those matches. He still go's missing and runs with his head down.

He reminds me so much of SWP at QPR.

People saying he is worth 10 million, one of the best talents in Europe, UK etc etc is just fantasy talk.

Wishful thinking, take off your Celtic tainted glasses and look at stuff through holistic terms.

 

macheda?? bebe?? most of them players are unproven and i would have forrest ahea of alot of them . and yes , i stand by the statement that jamesy is one of the biggest prospects in british football . forrest has it all, all the essential elements to go to the very top so of course he is a big prospect. that is just a generic list from a * idiot by the sound of most of your posts....oxlade chamberlain....is he proven at teh highest level ?? he has played maybe 45 mins of premier league football ...your a clueless * numpty.
