Agree, he made the difference in many games.  Quality player at the level we operate and showed up in Europe most of the time too.

I have clearly watched an entirely different player than you

What is the American basketball player meant to mean ? 

[WilliamMunny 3,252]

People are remembering a totally different player to me. Hagi has been shite for 90% of his time here. He can go along with around 12 others.

Thats one example.

I’d happily get rid of a few of that lot but you can can only piss with the cock you’ve got.

Tillman doesn't work out wide though

Slower than tillman the American basketball player

Basketball, famed for being a slow, plodding sport. 

[El-Hadji Spit RFC 733]

Unsure if he has completed 90mins for us, powder puff, slow… not been missed.

[TheKingObv 10,649]

Never particularly rated him but he undoubtedly gives us something a bit which is something at least.

[DiamondDan 2,386]

It's unreal how great players become when they ain't playing.

The only player whose value isn't inflated when he is out the team is Goldson, which is ironic ad he's actually the only player out who has any proven ability and temperament to make any difference on the current situation.

[RWB72 1,531]

think we will be a much more exciting side with Hagi + Lawrence in the team

[Hadron Collider 31,194]

Very good technically, however way too slow. If only his body could move as fast as his brain. 

[esquire8 43,227]

Him coming back won't make a single bit of difference to this season.

It’s nothing to do with injury, it’s always been the same with Hagi.

I've seen it work both ways in here.

In general players are either shite or great, usually shite.

Overall I'd say players can be shite for quite a while and find form again, it does happen. And there seems to be something in the air at our club making good players shite.

[The Archer 1,174]

It certainly helps if he is played as an AM and not  fucked out on the RW .The boy has talent so what if he isnt the fastest. Matondo and Sakala are rapid but little talent no pleasing some people.

Him ,Lawrence and Raskin/Lundstrum will make a huge differance to our midfield and stretch that to Evander and we will hammer the scum.

[rangersross 6,540]

As much as some fans overestimate his ability, others definitely underplay it. There was a run of winter games during the 55 season that Hagi dragged us through. Glad to have him back.

Hagi and Lawrence with a bit of Tillman thrown in could give us a better attack support.

The truth is usually somewhere in the middle. Opinions tend to be polarised

[hammer93 15,064]

Frustrated the life out of me at times, for this wonderful talent that so many believe he possess the lad at times had zero awareness around him....I lost count the amount of times he was easily dispossessed and ended up on his arse...on the positive side he does add assists to the team.....overall he is a wee bit meh for me

He’s a slightly better option than some of the other shite but you’re right. Won’t make any difference to Celtics canter to another title handed to them on a plate

No player (we could afford) could turn this season around singlehandedly but I think Hagi has it in him to win us games. He had as many league goals as Aribo in the 55 season but >2x as many assists. In fact, he was joint-top in the league for assists, along with Tav. As an individual contributor, he was up there with our most productive players.

Whatever creativity and ability he had before the injury will be drastically reduced for at least the next six months. 

Then the managements tactics and motivation will completely wipe it from existence.

His stats from that season are (surprisingly) very good. Will probably take him several months to get back to speed. Just turned 24 though so won to keep around. Hope to god someone can do some sprint training with him.

[AGM_72 3,716]

I don't really think he'll have the dynamism that we're severely lacking but in the 55 season he certainly played his part.

That said, whatever Hagi did or didn't do in the past is almost irrelevant now. Different manager, different system.

I think it'll be another one where we'll be bemoaning his contract situation in 12 months time. It expires in 2024 IIRC? If he does regain some form, chances are it might be at the start of next season after such a lengthy spell out and what will probably be a difficult second half of this season. Puts us in a difficult negotiating position.

Could easily be another we lose for free/buttons, but could also be a disaster to extend his deal. Surprised we didn't explore extending his deal by a year after his injury, purely to protect ourselves.

[Smile 26,622]

Good to see Hagi back training again.
