Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
He’s scored, on average, 5 goals a season across his career.

He’s scored 10+ two out of nine career seasons.

Don’t be citing his anamolous season at Celtic in 2016-17 as the norm. It’s far from it.
He’s averaged five goals a season if you include his teenage years where he made a handful of appearances per season! He’s got 23 goals in 98 games for Celtic - a ratio of almost 1 in 4 which is great for a midfielder. I’m not his biggest fan but we missed a goalscoring threat from midfield last season.
98 games in three and a half seasons at cp isn't that great though.

He’s scored 27 goals in 4 seasons at Celtic. 17 (60%) in one anamolous season. He’s been average the majority of the time. he’s not a natural double figure goalscoring midfielder - which was my point. We missed a goalscoring threat from midfield - because Stuart, when fit, was back to his preferred comfort zone of averageness.

Christie deserves a chance to see if he can make it with Celtic. As does Morgan for that matter.
Christie has had a chance. The manager has seen fit to loan him out twice.
I think Christie will fall short of making it at Celtic but we need to stop seeing a player being out on loan as being a negative.

3 of our current first team starters have benefitted from time out on loan. It is part of our strategy for developing players.

Twice though. Sending him out twice that's a negative. I'm happy enough to loan players for experience. We don't think for example Allan is gonna come back and do a job do we?

First time was for 3 months so I think that can be discounted.

Sending him out last season was to give him a full season of first team football at a bigger team than ICT.

He signed 3 years ago. He's spent 2 of those years on loan and has amassed 10or so games with Celtic in that time.
He's also 23. He didn't get played by Ronny or Brendan and I don't see any reason that the latter will change his mind on it

Again, I am not against loaning players out for experience it's worked well with McGregor , Ajer etc but there's other players we do it with because we're stuck with them and we know they won't get a game

I think Christie is in the latter.

Separately to the loan argument, most fans have seen him in action plenty of times to form an opinion on him. Hes not anywhere near good enough.

Wellington Silva is a name that was made up by an account on twitter re: the trialists for a wind up.

CU twitter has lost the heed.

Suggested Byram a few weeks back on this thread.

Think he'd be excellent. My mate stayed in Leeds for years and raved about him. Has looked good whenever I've seen him too.

So what? His positioning is ropey as eff.
...and yet mysteriously managed to keep perennial world cup favourites goalless for the duration of his time on the pitch. Hes been consistently effective for Costa Rica despite not being given game time. I know that doesn't keep to the narrative of Brendan knowing best, but who am I to suggest that his selection in rotation with Lustig last season would have resulted in a far greater points differential over Aberdeen.

I always prefer the truth and exposing lickspittles to fawning over the incumbent manager.
Its a football forum, not effin Panorama.
