Celtic-linked Rodrigo Riquelme looks set to finalise his loan switch to Reading, according to the Reading Chronicle. Riquelme has been with the Royals on trial for almost three weeks after arriving from Atletico Madrid, but has yet to put pen to paper on a contract. However, the Reading Chronicle believes that the deal is relying…
Can’t understand that one. How come the inventive don’t get the chance from our youth academy, or as b4 Celtic have to buy from elsewhere. He looks a great player on youtube take it our scouts are busy elsewhere. He’s a better right or left wing player than we already have.
It’s a great point mate. Whilst James Forrest and Mikey Johnston have come through the academy, which other flair players have we really brough through over the last 10 years or so? I can’t remember the last striker that came through the academy, rattled home 25-30 goals for a few years and then moved on for a hefty sum. There’s definitely a hesitancy from the club when it comes to throwing in young forwards/wingers. I think that’s due to the pressure on the manager to be honest.
Yep it is the manager under pressure not letting too many get games, cause if we lost 2-1 last night with four or five academy player, all hell would be let loose on him from the non too bright supporters. However, if we brought in Jack when needed at the start of last season no one would have complained. Then again we do have Dembele for the right wing but don’t play him when Forrest is guff. And we were looking for our own ex left back?
