Will It Be Cameron Carter Vickers?
Don’t rule out that the best player at our club this season could be a centre back.
It could well be the case. And if that’s the story of the season then it’s likely that it will be Cameron Carter Vickers, who a lot of Celtic fans I know considered our most important signing in the Ange first window, and the guy who really made our title tilt possible.
He was immense, of course, and thoroughly deserved to be on all the player of the year shortlists. In another year, without the quality in front of him from his Celtic team-mates, he would have walked it.
Absolutely walked it.
It was a tremendous coup to sign this guy up a permanent member of the team; the hacks who are wetting their pants over Ibrox’s defensive signings know this is the most significant one of the lot and not a one of them expected us to complete this deal.
Not one of them, no matter what gibbering nonsense they might come out with about how all we’ve done is maintained the strength of last season’s team, as though that were easy to do.
Carter Vickers is one of the rocks on which this team is built, and if he has a big Champions League campaign then the clamour for him to get the player of the year awards will be loud … and so he could very well emerge as much more important than the front guys.
Can’t argue with Hatate..my belief is our best player will be O Reilly ..what a debate to be having
I Think Bernabei could be a real star but he seems like a bit of a thug at times. If he can control his thug side then i can see us all raving about him come May. I also think we could see Abada reach a new level this season…..unfortunately Ange has a soft spot for Maeda who, if we’re honest, isn’t that great. Jota at times is more interested in show boating. Hatate can’t seem to last 90 mins. Once he gets beyond the 65 minute mark he looks tired and constantly gives the ball away. CalMac will give his usual quality for the entire season. Turnbull, it seems, will be overlooked as a first pick which is a shame because given a full season injury free he could probably challenge the two strikers for top scorer. So my pick for the star man this season will be Kyogo. If the wee man gets into full flow he will be unstoppable.
Does your maw know you’re oot?
History shows not many wingers win it, can’t see it being a striker as we no longer have to rely on them solely for goals,so wholeheartedly agree it will be one of any of the midfield. Injuries will no doubt have an impact on the outcome.fingers crossed.
One thing not in doubt is the team of the year.hh
Going to go out on a limb here but I think Mooy might be the star man. Two footed, can pick a pass and score spectacular goals. Remind you of a certain Slovakian player that Dr Jo picked up for a song? Just a guess though.
Jota
I agree. Jota.
I believe that Reo has looked the sharpest in pre season but as you say it could be any one of 7 or 8 players but my top is big G Giakoumakis I think he will be top goal scorer with Kyogo not far behind I can’t wait to get to the game today COYBIG
Kyogo.
Too tough to predict.
It could well come from a midfield player. If Guchi is allowed to play more by Ange and injuries I think its him or Reo. Outside choice and I’d love this to come to fruition, Stephen Welsh
Kyogo if he stays injury free.
To be honest, I don’t give a s#@t. The cream will rise to the top and they will wear the hoops.
Matt O’Riley for me.
The new Tam Rogic.
The lynchpin in midfield.
And thats some going when you see the quality beside him.
I really rate Giorgos Giakoumakis. He will cause havoc amonst defences.
