Mean_Gene_Okerlund 8 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Anyone else going to admit it then? I am... I'm gutted they pinched him from under our noses. The boy is sheer class, whether we want to admit it or not, and could have been a fantastic player for us.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,747 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 He's not sheer class at all. His touch is still suspect at the best of times, as is his passing. There were a few occassions when French players flew past him before he even knew what had happened! Tonights a great night, but I'm not letting it cloud my judgement.

Mean_Gene_Okerlund 8 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Kidding yourself on mate. He could end up making them at least £10million with the money flying around in the EPL at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had a good game, will go on to become a star but we just couldn't part with £25,000 a week for potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean_Gene_Okerlund 8 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I agree his touch his bad sometimes, however generally if he loses the ball through a bad touch he is snapping at the heals to get it back. I would really like to have seen him in a Rangers shirt. However for a supposed bluenose, I can't understand why he'd go to Celtic for only slightly more money? Arrogant, money-hungry wee fud who just happens to be a very good footballer, I think is the answer to that! Can't stand his character, but he has everything he needs to succeed.

One of the major points I made when we didn't get him was that in the more direct and rough and tumble SPL that is considered as tenacity, but if he played in a better and more technical league he would be considered a poor player because of it!

FlippinEck 3,701 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 thought he had a good game but so did most players!!! I was particularly impressed with how he was being bundled down and beatin about by france players a few times and did not respond at all when he has previously been judged to have a short fuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson 2 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Was less than ordinary against Lithuania. The whole team raised their game last night, Brown included.

Davy 68 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 He is by far the most over-rated player in Scotland just now. His indicipline almost cost us last night with his unwillingness to track back and follow his man. By all means, he has a great engine and driving force, but thats it. The media hype surrounding his is astonishing. £10m, your havin' a laugh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't pass a ball properly at 21 I doubt he'll ever beable to! But it's ok he gets through 14km a match and thast enough to make him a great player!

lancedeangers1 287 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Im glad we didnt get him and have said i didnt want him right back as far as when we thought he was coming. He has a bit of power and pace about him and a good engine, but sadly thats all that stands out for me. He is a good player who has potential, but like every other prospect needs to improve his game further. His passing leaves a lot to be desired for a start. He would be found out if he went to England as he would be an ordinary player, Celtic is a safe bet for him because the attributes he does have will shine in the SPL, but his qualities are all only relevant to his surroundings.

dummiesoot 15,990 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 His bad first touch got oneof the french boys booked, lost the ball managed to get a foot in and the french boy got his shin. He was anonymous against Spartak and I suspect you'll see more of the same in the CL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Blue_Gal 0 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Excuse me french but on the whole he is a dick but he is a good footballer imo. He knows it and can't stand that. Jealous that we didn't get him tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 A player who I'd of liked and one I'm pist off that he joined the taigs. Over time he will prove to be a quality signing. Just hope he has got rid of his Rangers tattoo!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree, Hutton was being left exposed constantly as Brown was getting caught out for most of the game. Did you not hear Eck screaming at him to stay with his man and not to run around following the ball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
