    Based on this being a deal for the whole of next season as well as the rest of this one then I am happy enough with that. Will be very interesting to see how he does as he obviously is rated as a big up and coming talent. If he can have the kind of inpact on our team that Denayer had then it wil have been worth the move even though we know we cannot afford to sign him permanently.

    Ach it'll be a great experience for him here, we've some very good players and this just adds very, very nicely to the mix.

    Well done PL and Celtic, he looks from his you tube videos a fantastic acquisition however………..for me he looks a number 10 all day long but we have loads of them. Anyway forget the potential negatives it looks like we have a real player on our hands, my only concern is the same as you all have….neglecting our players development for a loan signing. Thoughts??

    If anything I think this speak wonders of what the footballing world think of Ronny many people on here slate him but one of the biggest clubs in the world(all be in only in the last 5 years) is willing to trust him with one if not their most prized young talent!

    There doesn't seem to be very much highlight reel stuff of him at Fulham. Looking good in the u17s and reserves doesn't necessarily translate against seasoned pros. He must have something about him though. Looking forward to seeing if he can prove himself and beat his competition to wear the Hoops.

    Spoke to my mate who is a Fulham fan and he rates him so highly but sees him as an out and out number 10, not the fastest or strongest but his technique is unbelievable and great at turning people and creating space

    If the guys in his age group can't raise their level to his then they don't deserve to play.

    The reason Tierney is now getting a load of games under his belt is he is proving himself as good if not better in many respects than Emilio. The likes of Nesbitt have to get better and if Roberts ups the target to aim for then all the better for Celtic!

    Read today City paid Fulham an estimated 12 million to sign him. Definitely has something about him.

    Slight difference between Allan coming from Hibs in the Scottish Championship and a guy that cost City 12 million on the fringes of the City first team in the English Premiership.

    Denayer walked into our side, this guy will be the same.

    Looks like a decent winger! So what position will Ronny play him? Left back? Holding midfielder?

    At least we have options now I guess but does seem a bit pointless developing Man City's players instead of our own they must be backing this guy to be the difference in the CL qualifiers, hard to tell if he'll be any good from youtube videos

    So we're developing players for other clubs, as opposed to our own!?!?
