why was so much money spent on juarez when he doesnt get on

Yeah but the point is £3 million is huge fee celtic to be spending on a player not in the 1st team, the question is why was so much spent on him to be just rotting away when players were needed in defence and attack, £3 million could have made a huge help to either

 

i think we spent 1.7 milll on him if im sure plus the add ons if he makes the step to the epl i think he is just young and as lennon says he will figure at some point but obviously he just aint ready to throw him in because of fan power .

so far this season juarez started brightly but had the mexican f.a thing hanging over him so maybe its a personal thing rather than football to be honest.

i dunno if i would start him in current first 11 as we already have ledley,kayal,ki,forrest ,paddy then we also got ljunberg,brown,mcginn,kapo,crosas.

so i could see him moved on in the summer especially if crosas was to leave then both them being very good friends i wouls suspect he would follow a loss to us but long term i dont think he'll be a mainstay like others at the club.

 

well i think juarez started good in the season but i dont know what happened to him, maybe some of the problem of his national team disturbed him or the weather the change atmosphere, he still lack of adaptation but with time if lennon gives him more chances i think he can start like he started

 

others are on form - therefore i dont care what we paid.

 

No need to right him off just yet, Ki took his time to get into the swing of things, give the boy time

 

imo lenny thought he was going to buy a right back to fill the vacant position andy hinkel left (i know he´s still there but b4 the injuri lenny wanted to cash him in ).

but when juarez made clear that he is not the right back lenny was looking for lenny got cha and juarez was a bit out of favour (esp. after the utrecht game ).

despite this brooney, ki, kayal, forrest, mccourt, crosas, ledley, maloney, kapo and now ljungberg is quality.

 

Try 1.5 million.

 

Wish we could find out,seen no reason to outcast him at all.Hopefully he dosen't become the new Crosas,if he hasnt already.

 

Maybe the thing about Arsenal was true and that maybe he did tell his agent to try and get him a move

 

He's just going to end up being a flop imo

 

yeh but every singning is a gamble till you see them fit into your team plan mate

 

I am sure celtic will recoupe this money if juarez is sold

 

Jeezo, the guy has come to the SPL from the Mexican league. Massive difference in climate. He has got into bother with the Mexican FA which is bound to have affected him and has lost a bit of form. At the same time we have an abundance of midfielders playing well. Oh, and hes only 22.

Maybe give the guy a break, he has plenty of time to find his feet and show his worth, dont just write him off so quickly. If we did that, Ki woulda been out the door as well.

 

Very sensible post that

 

+1

 

If he doesn't get playing time at Celtic...maybe. If he moves on and plays somewhere else, definitely not.

He needs to suck it up and play RB a little just for playing time.

 

jezzo a wee cold breeze shouldnt make him not get a chance, theres not such a thing as a winter footballer or a summer footballer. And a wee spat with the mexican FA will hardly rock him to his core to the extent that it affects his football, you couldnt imagine him running with the ball then suddenly stopping and sitting on the pitch in the middle of a match thinking about it, you just get on with it and play football like any other professional footballer who is loaded and hasnt a care in the world, your either a good footballer or a bad footballer and i think hes a good footballer but havnt worked out if he can fit into our team or the way our team plays

 

yipee somesense in here afterall lol

 

i meant mj9 post dughhh

 

i guess im echoing a lot of what has been already said .... but i dont understand the clamour to get him in the side.

i think the lad is 22 ... and if we gave up on players because they didnt play right away then we wouldnt be watching Ki and Paddy now.

i think the central theme of the post is the idea the money spent could have been better invested .... two things i would add ... think back to the squad when he signed ... we werent blessed with the current strength in depth ... now that Ki has stepped up and Kayal has signed ...

And second ... he was brought in to be part of a squad and with and eye for future ...we didnt pay £4M for the guy ...

and im not speculating - i'm taking this from our manager ..... BBC Sport - Football - Efrain Juarez has work permit as he agrees Celtic deal
