For raw talent Forrest is better than Hayes but for heart, determination, fitness and psychologically stronger Hayes is by a distance the better option, if I had a choice of one Hayes wins it all day everyday, all the stars need to be aligned to get anything from Jamesy, you might get the odd 9/10 from him in a big bag of 4s 5s & 6s while with Hayes you'll get a constant 7/10 from him |

What's Ronny Deila got to do with Forrest being shampoo? He actually helped him get fit and tried to improve him. Blaming Ronny for Forrests failings is absolutely ridiculous

Of course I've not. While we are asking stupid and unnecessary questions have you had a look? There's a thing called an opinion and thats my opinion. It's usually how a message board works. Folk usually form opinions without fear of some jumped up Internet hard man coming out with sarcastic nonsense |

7/10? Every week? In that free flowing goal scoring Aberdeen team? The goal assist column for Hayes must be huge right enough as he only got 4 himself all year. They finished on +14 goals. |

And the goals and assist stats for James in a far more attacking , higher scoring team impress you ? |

Hayes is a decent player most of the time. Forrest is a very good player some times and utter shampooe most of the time. Forrests main issue is the position he plays. Wingers come in and out of form more often than other positions. Its probably the toughest position on the pitch and you need to find your way into the game as opposed to the game coming to you in the way it does in centre mid, for example. Forrest is suffering mentally for loads of reasons and that is his biggest barrier. If he can get his head right, he could be a very good player for celtic but theres just no evidence to show he has it in him. I dont know him personally but he strikes me as the type that would like to be the big fish in a smaller pond, whereas at celtic, he'll never be that. Time for him to move on for his own good actually. |

Of the top of my head, I'd say we have played at least half a dozen players in the wide positions this season, with no-one getting a run. All of them (Armstrong, GMS, McGregor, Stokes, Commons, Forrest) had either dips in form, confidence or issues which meant they were hooked. Wide players need to be confident enough to try things, possibly fail, but be secure enough to know that they have the managers back and won't be dropped. The only player who got that break this year was Roberts. Hayes went through the whole season, along with McGinn, played some absolute howlers and was kept in place. I'd say that's largely down to resource rather than anything else. Forrest doesn't impress me particularly - I posted earlier that I couldn't give a flying one if he stays or goes - the point that was raised was that he wouldn't get into Aberdeen's team, or displace Hayes. I'd suggest that Hayes in our squad, would get chewed up and swallowed and would give the impression that he was a shadow of the player he was at Aberdeen, when in fact he'd be every bit of the player he was there and join the list of lower level players who think they can hack it here. |

Forrest's problem has been his injuries. I can't blame the guy for losing huge amounts of confidence in his own ability to recover and stay fit but he really needs to make some sort of change. Maybe a change of club would do it or maybe the new coaches coming in will help but he's got talent. I watched a bit of Class of '92 last night. Their youth coach talking about a couple of players who were just as if not more talented that some of the main group, yet didn't make it because of their attitude. They just weren't willing to make the sacrifices needed. I wonder if that still applies to wee Jamsey even though he's reached a very high level, I don't think anyone would think he's even come close to reaching his potential. |

He's only 4 months older than Scott Allan and everyone keeps going on about his potential. |

I really hope Jamesy gets a decent chance under Rodgers and is convinced to stay. |

"Internet hard man" away you go ya moody clown. Whether you told me that in person or on here, it's a stupid effing idea and would have been met with the same response regardless. Was taking the piss a bit, should have realized I was talking to one of the most sour-faced pumpkins on here . Funny how you're greeting here about 'sarcastic nonsense' when your post was tinged with it btw .Your opinion is shampooe btw. I asked if you'd seen his dossier because your opinion was that effing daft I figured you must have an inkling as to what he's gonna do, otherwise why would anyone but a buffoon suggest moving a 40-goal striker wide left? I've not had a look at his dossier, nah, but I doubt it involves shifting his best striker to a foreign position... Edited by adammce, 31 May 2016, 01:34 PM.

where was my post tinged with sarcasm? my opinion is Griffiths will be played out wide next year based on, again my opinion, he isn't good enough for European competition and br will want to improve on that area. |

Do you reckon? His improvement's been pretty consistent so far, nothing to say he can't be serviceable for us in Europe in the future. He might not be, you could be totally right, but I don't think we'll get a striker who scores lots for us in Europe anyway. |
