Christie for number 7??

[Lubos left peg]

Thoughts??
We have been desperate for someone to fit into the Jersey.
Paddy tried to claim it while on loan only to then spend most of the season watching Forrest from the bench.
If Christie keeps up the amazing performances that he has begun the season with, could he be the man to wear the number next season??

 

[Bridie Bhoy]

Yes, he is definitely worthy. If he wants it then I'd give it to him.

Forrest is another shout but he is coming up for 10 years with us so probably wouldn't want to change his number now.

 

[Lubos left peg]

My next question would be, do you think the number 7 scares some players??
I wonder if anyone has been offered it over the years and turned it down due to the expectations it brings.

If anyone gets the No.7 jersey I'd like it to be a right winger like the genius Jinky.

It's been a jinx so far

 

[Jinky1962]

It's a big shirt to fill not every player has what jinky and henrick had Ryan christie has been amazing if he ends up getting player of the year I would give him the shirt for the 10 season the motivation just might bring out another celtic legend.

 

[The Deadner]

I think the next big player for the no. 7 is wee dembele. I think we'll start to see more of him as the season goes on. I think Christie is made for the no. 10.

 

[lennono]

I think Christie will be a good No. 7, you just have to look at him....very confident....i'll tak the penalty under pressure type guy....Fast.....

After last nights performance, I read with interest the various opinions on MOTM and for the most of them they singled out Broony. Much as he was a colossus in our midfield, my eyes the whole night were transfixed on Corpus Christie. He ran and he better ran, he tackled and he better tackled, he was quite simply superb. I've tried to compare him with many ex-Celts but its difficult knowing he's really only kicked on in the past 12 months, however, he has been showing what a wonderful talent he is. My God, we got him from ICT, you'd think, the way he is playing, he had came from some major powerhouse in england or Europe. Give him the No.7, no, give him Lubo's 25 Shirt, this is the one shirt that will propel him to greatness.

I’m an old romantic I thought the number should have been retired after wee Jinky...... then I thought the number should have been retired after the Magnificent 7 Larsson. They are tough acts to follow and I don’t know who I would like to see wearing it...... I’m a daft old tart I know

With that number, comes a lot of pressure and comparisons
Ryan Christie, has been immense and I'd hate to think that we'd put more pressure on him to perform
I agree with GG, the number should have been retired after Jinky/Larsson wore it
Just my two bob

Get the sentiment, and everything that goes with the shirt. But rather than retire it l would love players to aspire to want it. Just ma wee thoughts. HH

The badge on the front is more important than the number on the back

If that's the case why are shirts retired?

Not aware of any Celtic jersey being retired might be wrong tho

Not just talking about Celtic in general, it must mean the player and the badge where that great to the Club,that the club honour him that way.in other words nobody's going match what you meant to this club. Maldini mibbee?

 

[zicocormac]

We've had plenty of legends why retire a jersey when it can inspire our future players to become legends in there own right only my opinion tho

That's ma point mate. Inspire to aspire.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Teams retire jerseys out of Respect, for those who made it Legendary
In my humble opinion, the number on a jersey, raised to the rafters is synonymous, with excellence & a sign of the club honouring those who wore it, with distinction

So should Celtic retire 1-11 in memory of the Lisbon lions
