Scales stepped into a Celtic defence that had no other options at that time Marti , I feel you're being a tad overly critical of a player who'd barely kicked a ball in anger for the hoops and really stepped up when we needed him to.Big Scales is the weak link at the back imo.Nawrocki had a shocker against the sheep last time so hopefully he puts that right this weekend.
Nawrocki, yes he had a poor game against the sheep but again , another player who'd barely kicked a ball in anger for us.
I feel that given the minutes Nawrocki will be a decent signing for us and I won't jump the gun on him as he has looked pretty decent more often than not.
We signed a Liverpool defender Nat Phillips who was barely able to get any minutes in the 6 months we had him.
He's, coming from Liverpool supposed to be of a higher standard than both scales and Nawrocki but as it turned out he wasn't any better than either.
We can't expect all our signings to hit the ground running , we've been lucky that so many have, kyogo, CCV, hatate, maeda, Johnston, while others who are clearly talented individuals like Bernardo, Kuhn, Yang have taken more time to settle.
Scales had the benefit of playing for the sheep for some time and kwon is doing the business for St Mirren.
I'm not saying that you're personally too quick to judge but I do feel some others definately are.
I'm thinking in particular of Palma , another young player who is coming to a new country and culture , after about 60 minutes of a champions league game away to Feyenoord he was slaughtered, by many of not being Celtic standard even by some on here, very unfairly imo for not being brilliant instantly.
Considering these young bhoys have never tasted what playing for a club like Celtic and the demands that entails I think we should be more patient with our signings especially given the fact that pretty much all of them haven't been of the calibre Rodgers is looking for.
Jmo mate and like all my other ones I don't expect everyone to agree with me. HH
