Marvin Compper; So good that he exists on an etheric plane far beyond that of Scottish football

Don't shoot the messenger, but I was told today (by someone who should know) that BR has not been impressed by Compper at training. Marv needs to 'up his game.'
So does feckin Boyata.

That it what I would imagine is going on but then you ask " why sign him".....?

Well by all accounts his performances when he was playing were supposedly good, I don't think how a player trains can be evaluated before you sign them.

I'd forgotten he was even at the club. How long is his contract?

I think Celtic should be looking to renegotiate his 2 year deal for a cheaper price.

Which they can do on Compper The Market.

We should have checked if he was lactose intolerant or vegan before signing him.

Not exactly Berkovic or Rafael money, and that was a lifetime ago.

The club that doesn't make bad buys doesn't exist, some clubs are perennially poor at recruiting. Our January arrivals can take until the next campaign to blossom, might not happen with Marv and if we cut our losses then it wouldn't be a notable disaster, these things do happen and that's football.

There's an awful lot of supposition and second guessing on this thread as to why he's not featuring. Has Rodgers said anything?

I think he'll just need to bide his time and get fit. Don't think we can judge it on the fact Boyata etc are in before him. Ntcham took time, Compper will need time.

Was only a minor injury really, surely our physios could have sorted him by now. Been back for ages.

Aye but Rodgers isn't really one for throwing new signings straight in unless he's knows their game (Sinclair).

Look at Paddy. Forrest was ahead of him for a long spell last season.

Paddy got quite a bad injury against astana tbf. Hamstring I think. Forrest was playing ok at time too.

What the eff is this "he'll need to bide his time" pish, hes 32 and was supposed to be the experienced hand to come in and sort the absolutely shocking defence

Some are going on like hes some 20 year old prospect.

He could very well still be injured.
