Would be a player I would welcome back especially in such a fragile position we have struggled in as regards he should settle in very quickly.
Just think we might be looking for more younger players in general, but a bit of experience with also be needed so a yes from me
Think Julian could grow into a player this season agree we need a strong defender to stand along side him, to my mind we need a box centre half to control the defence coupled with box to box midfielders playing for the team rather than themselves,Celtic always had fast wingers who could beat players and get the ball into the box and didn’t we miss James F last season,pretty passing is all very well but it does not get the goals , attack has always been the strongest form of defence but most of all we want players who want to play as and for the teamUnless he has grown a few inches and gained a yard of speed then no thanks. A defensive pair of him and Jullien would be a nightmare against any team with pace.
Agreed, a squad needs to be formed which allows for player rotation and competition for places, not saying he would be an automatic starter but still thinks he would offer us far more than Bitton at presentI always thought Erik got a rough deal from Rodgers. He was punished for a mistake against the Zombies while Boyata seemed to get away with mistake after mistake after mistake. He was less athletic than some centre backs but he was clever and played with heart.
Given our situation, if he's available for a decent fee then it would be a good idea as a short-term fix.
He's not as slow as Duffy, I've see cruise ships turn faster than himTotally agree a wee bit slow but surely 100% better than Duffy ,didn't want to leave in the First place and at least wants to play for Celtic unlike some want aways HH
Big bad John could barely pass a medical, worked out ok, as long as he can pass a ball, I’d have him back in a heartbeatJozos injury prone and can barely pass a medical
we moving forwards or backwards?Why bring an injury prone player backBig bad John could barely pass a medical, worked out ok, as long as he can pass a ball, I’d have him back in a heartbeat
Cause we won’t buy anyone else, especially with his experience, he knows how it feels to be Celtic, or should we throw yet another 20 year old to the wolveswe moving forwards or backwards?Why bring an injury prone player back
The physio needs ti keep his haun in Tonywe moving forwards or backwards?Why bring an injury prone player back
Kind of agree with you on the height thing Gary, but I thought he read the game well and was a more than decent defender. Out and out CH? No !Unless he has grown a few inches and gained a yard of speed then no thanks. A defensive pair of him and Jullien would be a nightmare against any team with pace.
Was he ever that good?Out the guys we have theres not a decent CH between them ,just my opinion .Cause we won’t buy anyone else, especially with his experience, he knows how it feels to be Celtic, or should we throw yet another 20 year old to the wolves
I always thought the same, I suspected jealousy at the time (wives). The decision to sign Comperr will baffle me til the end of time, or just my lifetime, which ever comes first.The Snake ditched Sviatchenko for non-footballing reasons; I always suspected a personality clash. If you require any proof of the alacrity and suspiciously contrarian reasoning behind that decision, look at the replacement he 'found' - Martin Comper. Fuck me. "Is your steak not quite to your liking, Sir? Well, here's a fucking Macdonalds Happy Meal instead..."
100%A good centre back is all about positional sense, experience, courage and leadership qualities.
See Italy's Chellini for all those. Pace is a bonus. Height too; Greatest central defensive Don ever, Franco Baresi, appeared more like a diminutive cosa nostra hitman than footballing God.

So, as a tried and tested and ready to go addition to our defense, I'd take big Erik back without a second thought. For all his cons, the added pros of drive, committment to the cause and love for the club trump everything else.
Kelly Heertz the mini’s mini hunsam sure kelty hearts or bonnyrig rose will have players we can pick up just incase the bargain basement bin is empty
Get rid of Julia then.As much as I like his love of the tic, a powderpuff pairing of him and Julie gives me the fear
