    Some players just look natural, even a simple 4 yard pass, their body language says I know what I'm doing.

    He’s class but for me he still has a lot to learn to be a top Celtic player.

    He couldn’t cope with being pressed hard at Tynecastle but he was excellent today.

    Bags of potential.

    I agree but I think he's the kind of player Brendan can get the best out of. He will give him a lot more time than other managers and address his strong points vs his weak. Like he did with Swansea and Liverpool.
    Brendan's only weakness is his stubbornness, he refuses to play defensive football. I think Ajer is a great example, a decent defender with Beckenbaur instincts. Not getting carried away, he's not that good but he could develop the skills and mindset to be a key part of Brendan's vision.

    Thought he was too quiet first half which is why Aberdeen had a good showing up until the goal.

    Bossed the game second half, though. Was the best player on the park. Just needs to find that level of consistency to perform like that for 90 minutes.

    He is pretty quick for a big guy too. I thought he was our best player today a good range of passing and good at closing down the opposition. He seems to have settled in well now and can only get better.

    He's good. Very very good.

    Frightening to think he is only going to get better as well.

    Another absolute gem unearthed.

    Was getting dominated a bit in the first half when they were physical, getting dragged out of possession away from the centre of the pitch. Second half he played well. Credit to Scott Brown though, another fantastic display very composed and he must give Ntcham some great assurance in the centre to help him develop as he is still very young.

    I think him and Eboue have a great future ahead of them.

    The fact Ntcham is called up to the French Under 21 shows you he is a player.

    Also the fact many of us on here including myself thought Eboue looked better than ntcham when he's featured is great. Want to see more of the two of them, ridiculous midfield talented we have

    I love this post. Who is going to replace Messi? No one. But Broony the giant he is is also a coach and a master of experience on the field. Ntcham could be part of our new vision, not Broony not Lambert but a bit of both.
    He could stay here too and forget the money and remember the football like KT.
    There's so much money now it offers players the philosophical choice, "do I want to be part of something special and attract other metaphysicals or do I want to sit on the bench"?
    Brendan is getting criticism for being too forward thinking but he said when he joined his dad and Jock Stein were dreamers when all the team became forwards to break the best defence in history.
    It's a different world but the human mind is still influencial.
