Needs a full season as a first pick with us as a minimum. So far his development has been excellent. He can sit on a lesser contract and gamble on a big move and hope his form or fitness don't take a hit or he can sign a long term improved deal and have security and protect himself and the club. |

I do. Give them most games with more experienced players as back up.It easier to be negative especially with defenders but Celtic need to give young players with potential the chance to develop. The fans needs to allow them to make mistakes along the way too. Edited by nowonder, 28 Mar 2018, 06:46 PM.

I agree. Same folk were having the same opinion when KT was displacing Izzy. These boys are good enough to win domestically and let's face it our more cosmopolitan mid price range defenders of recent haven't exactly been good in Europe and all seem to break too easily. As I see it we have two options. Pay mega money for proven quality or try and unearth and develop raw talent. I can't see the club doing the former so we need to focus on good young prospects. |

We need better to avoid more hammerings in the CL, give those 2 time to develop. I'd be happy to see them get plenty of games, we play 60 a season, but neither should be flung in at he deep end. Have them as first choice for the rest of the season, sell Jozo and Boyata and sign better. |

Not sure I agree with this. We've avoided hammerings from some of the all time European greats with players who might not even make our current development team. IMO we lose big because we go out and try to play football. It sometimes works, like the City games and the Bayern game we deserved more from, but more often than not it's a humiliating, demoralising experience where we simply cannot compete from front to back. I think youth does need to play alongside experience at the back, but if Hendry and Ajer are performing at a decent level I'm 100% behind making them regular starters. Like the look of both players and have no qualms about seeing them play in Europe. It's the system they'll be asked to play in which worries me far more. |

It is for far more players than it isn't, and that's a fact. But I think Ajer will do the right thing and re-sign with the promise of being allowed to leave for the right offer, so he can play for us until the one comes along whilst still getting us a payday. He talks well and has a good head on his shoulders, of course he's going to want to prove himself at the highest levels, but as long as he's developing well and getting good minutes I can't see him being in a huge rush to leave. |

Still some left of the season to show a bit proof of stability. It could be that I´m overestimating his talent, but I think Ajer could be hoping to play in a better league very soon. And he will see the examples in other young Norwegian players who have established themselves e.g. in the German and the Frence league. A. Sørloth (22) also went right into the team when Crystal Palace bought him from Midtjylland in the January window (10 mill). A bit of psychology in this. Rodgers is a great reason to stay, but I wonder what is most important for a his development, to have a good manager, or to play against better players. Celtic should play in the PL. The real question is what Celtic expect to get for him. |

Based on what? A loan at Kilmarnock, five months of first team football at Celtic and two meaningless caps for Norway? He hasn't "established" himself at Celtic at all. Not yet anyway. He has quite a bit to go before he could be considered a first choice CB here. If Boyata and Simunovic had not dropped off so rapidly (for various reasons), Ajer would be watching Celtic from the subs bench right now. Luckily, Ajer is a humble kid with the right approach to his own development. He'll sign an extended deal at Celtic. Why? because he'll get plenty of game-time if he continues like this, he'll be coached by a top, top manager, he's already getting international recognition AND when he eventually does go, it'll be to a team where he will start right away which, at this point, is not Dortmund, Spurs or any of the others that have been named. |

Smashing big player. Still as rough as a hen doo in Blackpool though. All of these big money moves being thrown around in the papers just dont serve him right now. He needs games, lots and lots of games. Could be a brammer in about three seasons. Edited by Bawman, 16 Apr 2018, 12:18 AM.

Agreed. He has strolled all three old firms thus far - if he improves even more in the air and at set pieces we'll be laughing. |

Thought he was poor first half yesterday - got caught a couple of time with the ball down the channel between him and Tierney - but he did very well second half. Needs to stop diving in when he doesn’t have to and needs to keep his hands down. Edited by Midfield Maestro, 16 Apr 2018, 08:38 AM.

Yup, i don't think he was as as good yesterday as some of his other performances recently. However when he stepped out of defence with the ball and went forward he looked more composed than the entire hun midfield

Being 19 he needs time, but we can allow him that here. He's a top top prospect & one worth investing the time in, CB is a hard position for younger players. New contract & play every game please. |
