Nir Bitton Appreciation Post

But how many tears would we shed if he just upped and left?

I'd be sad, but I wouldn't be playing Dionne Warwick records, Michael.

He's a good player. No more, no less. Would you have Nir before anyone who is a regular first team pick?

I get what you mean about big Nir SP.

Discussed this before on here.....I always struggled to see what his best position was. He didn't seem to have the dig for a DCM, he seemed too laid back and lacked the required levels of creativity to play as a CM playmaker and again thought he was just too laid back in his style to play any other sort of attacking midfield role......but he is the epitome of a neat and tidy player.

I think he's found his calling at CB though and I've said it before but I'd have Bitton at CB before Ajer. He has better awareness, better positional sense, he reads the play better, he's calm and doesn't get dragged into making dodgy or late tackles and he can carry the ball out from the back better than any other CB we have.

I just think his laid back style works for him there, he adds a sense of calm at the back and something else I noticed is that big Julien especially plays with more confidence with Bitton at his side than he does with Ajer in there.

Love the big man
Never shirks a challenge and we'll need him against the HUNS
Check out the 40 second mark - CLASS
And look who he's skinning...none other than our very own Corpus
Training must have been a blast, trying to get back at the big man
Even in his long range goals he is just effortlessly stroking the ball into the net. This is something I'd like to see more from him, but I guess he is nearly always playing as a defender these days so never gets far enough up the pitch.

Although we'd lose his height in the box, I wouldn't mind seeing him delivering free kicks and corners as he is very accurate (although Turnbull will probably take over these duties now).

Totally agree with you Shadow, Nir could play the Sweeper role to perfection, reminds me of John Clark, not flashy but wins the tackle then plays the ball to the midfielders. Scott Brown could also play Sweeper
 
D OP clearly tinks hes gen qualyfide 2 criteek any Celtic fan wiv a diffrnt opinyion, n goes arrod dis place lookin 4 support 2 gang up on any who dare b out side or differ wiv d happy clap along all is ++++ club!

he sounds a lot mor like a yes man , a total company man dan any socialist union man he claims 2 b! but dat wud b no surprise as left wing & r wing r both gobshyte siamese twins cut of same BS cloth.

d op (a Celtic FC fan 4 just a few mths)
just wudny know dat bitton was not only a very avg at best Celtic plyer 4 way 2 long b4 now!
a avg plyer who wen he was fit! qt liked givin d ball away under little or no pressure anytime he tried 2 bring d ball oot goin fwd - as d midfielder he signed as many years ago!
or it seems aware like most Celtic fans r dat Nir was also made of xtra lite perspex.

So when d op laughably names Bitton along side Jock Stein!!! a massiv FFS is in order!

Bitton who 4 long time seemd very content 2 b pullin a big wage not even on d bench
Nir always injurd Bitton 3 years ago in a teasin response 2 Celtic fans tellin him 2 gtf, (tweeted 'Im goin no where!)

So wen d OP compares Bitton alongside d name of Jock Stein!!!
such xtreme naivety is explaind away only by d realitee
dat hes only bean a Celtic fan 4 a few mths, & sum1 who has nvr actually been 2 watch d Celtic play,
