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

Him and Musonda posted missing.
I wonder if anyone imagined Scott Bain would turn out to be our most influential January signing so far. Strange how football works sometimes.

The story above re rodgers not being impresed is the same as what I was told by a mate on Saturday.

I don't see a problem with that.

New guy comes in, does what he usually does in training. Manager doesn't think it's enough for this environment and won't play him until he changes his ways.

Looking like Ajer and Hendry are the future without Compper.

Surely though the management check out the player themselves before signing. However, some signings just don't work out.

He’s just arrived at the club and he had an injury so far too early to judge him.

Musonda has played 7 games since arriving, the same amount he played for Chelsea before coming here. IIRC, this is also the same amount of games Mikael Lustig managed after arriving in January 2012. Compper only had 3 appearances this season before coming here, then got injured right away. Bain and Hendry had 18 and 30 games, respectively, for Dundee this season; unsurprisingly, then, they've found it easier to pick up the pace and get themselves up to a level that Rodgers thinks is good enough to play. Players that come in the January window and immediately do well are typically playing every week for their old club; players coming in from a standing start find it harder to catch up, and run a bigger injury risk. So this situation isn't unusual; it's disappointingly only in that we were given an unrealistic assessment of where these players where at when they signed.

I hope not if it's the same one that recommended Hayes and DDV.






...providing he keeps to coaching and not recommending.

Think I remember at the time of his signing someone here saying something about the guy who recommended Marvin not being allowed to speak up in * transfer target meetings. :lol:

Was a strange signing at the time the fact he wasn't available in Europe anyway and all our other cbs are under 25 and all internationals and this guy will be 32 next season I just can't see when he will play and that's without even thinking about strengthening in the summer.

BR has the players training at 100% intensity every session. Id imagine this would be new to a few senior pros. Gone are the days of MON and his 40 minutes training a day. :lol:

Was it really a strange signing? Our defence was looking very suspect so we went out and signed an experienced CB who could shore things up, as well as talk the our CBs through a game.
I can see the sense in the signing- what's strange is his disappearing act, even allowing for his injury. Like others have said, I don't imagine that we jumped into this without having a good look at him first, so I don't think we have bought a dud.
Something seems to have gone wrong though.

I think Compter and Musonda both showed promise in their brief appearances. Seems a bit strange that they havent featured a bit more though Musonda has been on bench.

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 can back up what the OP said, I know who gave him the info and it's genuine. He needs to up his game and quickly especially with Ajer and Hendry playing well.
