gannonball Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Rumours that Boyatas out for Feb two now too. Ajer and Simunovic for Valencia now but the latters made of chocolate and over due another 6 week injury so potentially Hendry for those games. Efe?.......

Greenlantern Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 It’s a Scottish league rule that prohibits it. Which says more about our tinpot governing body than anything else. If parent club are prepared to loan a player they obviously don’t want, then said player should be free to play every fixture he’s eligible for. It's the modern game, and not exclusive to the Scottish league. When we loaned Ajer out to Kilmarnock it wasn't that we didn't want him. Same with Christie. Equally, It's frustrating that Rodgers could also be developing loanee players at Celtic for other clubs to capitalise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Observer Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Bad choice of words my bad - “players they don’t want to pick at that time” is more realistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of these serious injuries did Brendan put down to grass pitches out of interest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont find the latter frustrating to be honest, just accepting where we are in the chain. We got Benkovic this year who despite us having next to no chance of signing, is infinitely better than anybody he is keeping out the team. If anything others could improve by learning along side him in training and in matches. The whole loan spell is mutually benefical. Compare that to Musonda who we thought would improve the team. It looked that he could be better than what we had but he lacked effort and was soon replaced on the bench when Johnstone was fit again. We then punted him back early rather than persevering with him we chose to do that with our own players. The loan market is a handy tool its up to the staff at your club to use it their advantage both long and short term.

Short term loan players serve a purpose. But I wouldn't want my club stacked full of them either. Frustrating on the rare occasions in terms having invested time and effort into transitioning someone into a squad only for them to return to the parent club and leave a gap that weakens the team significantly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t want to develop a player that has no sell on value as already contracted to Celtic. The poor guy is now stuck over here as about 10th choice full back.

Could probably avoid ruining young players careers if the SFA ever actually bothered to enforce work permit rules on players they've signed. Absolutely fucked if I know how they got them for the two Americans and this Ukranian lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Brees Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Why have MLS blocked the move?Because he’s joining a USL team but an MLS team own his homegrown rights even though Nashville will be an MLS team next season. There’s talk he might be going to Charlotte, in the MLS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just look at the plights of Ralston, Johnston, Morgan, Miller, Aitchison. Rodgers is a manager that likes to spend big in the hope of buying an almost finished product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish authorities have agreed they're "exceptional talents who can enhance the Scottish game" though. One rule for them, another for the rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not going to change so just get on with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
