He succumbed too the Brighton lifestyle and isn't that bothered/focused on football as much anymore is basically the long and short of it, the usual too much to soon, talk of him being a £100m player at such a young age did him no favours imo. He seems to be slowly making his way back into the first team on the bench so we will see how it goes.
Obvious isn't it ? Always injured. Never cut it at Arsenal. Too many good Scottish left backs, like so many. Hickey surpassed him almost immediately when he went foreign. I also think, like Patterson, there's a misconception that coming from Old Firm means you're at A good level. I think that success rate is very low comparatively. I personally don't think he's very good. Appreciate the short sleeves in cold weather though.
Kin hope notDoes this mean we're finally going to sign Willy Gnonto?
I really thought he would be when he broke through at first, injuries have really hampered him. At Celtic he had all the tools, played great in Europe. Played central at times for Scotland in a back 3 with Robertson left, really intelligent player who bombed on a lot. Arsenal mate of mine said he would walk into the team if fitness wasn't an issue, by all accounts he was misdiagnosed injurya wise and made things progressing worse.
It’s not about goals. It’s about having a tangible proven track record. The kids you are mentioning have done absolutely nothing in the game. None of Keane, Vlasic or Lookman gave us anything in the short term. If we sign players like that in Jan. we will get relegated and any profit we might make on them in the future will be a drop in the ocean compared to lost revenue.
Interested if you'd take the risk on the lad - and what Brighton would be asking for?
