Looks like no contract fot Roberts next season.

Brendan Rodgers reveals when Celtic loan star Charly Musonda will make impact at Hoops
The Chelsea youngster hasn't hit the heights expected of him yet but Rodgers believes it will happen.
Spoiler: click to toggle
Musonda started three games within his first few weeks at the club so it was clear he was bought to go straight into the team. He lost his place because he played poorly in those matches. The narrative that he’s settling in for a few months with a view to making a big impact next year just isn’t true. Rodgers, I feel, is covering for both him and Compper here. They’ve been major disappointments.
Yep. Everything BR said around the signing of Musonda suggested he was being brought in to be a key part of our attacking play immediately. Someone has dropped the ball.

Covering for him meaning what? As opposed to chucking him under a bus?

Or he could be telling the situation as it is.

Commper played well albeit v Morton. He clearly hasn't done enough to get into our first team.

Musonda, is a strange one. I expected him to come in an make a immediate impact. I can't see him playing a part v Sevco. He will most likely play all the dead rubbers once we win the title.

Even with jozo unavailable, he's getting kept out the squad/team by the likes of boyata and Hendry. He can cover left back supposedly and yet even when Tierney is unavailable he is nowehere to be seen.

I think it's more than just fitness or form with him.

I had heard after Celtic period in Dubai, Rodgers immediately requested another defender (Jack Hendry) as it was clear Commper wasn't up to the job. Might be something in it, maybe not however the information is usually reliable.

Musonda is 21 years old. I really don't see why the panic so soon, his not even been at the club for 6 months.

Players can get better with training. Yes he hasn't hit the ground running but there is still plenty of time.

"Hopefully in his time here he gets a chance to show his qualities. But that’s only if other players aren’t playing so well.”

The guy is here for two and a half years and we're talking about hopefully seeing him at some point during it? Have we just spent £1m for a coach?


The other defenders have hardly been in stellar form either.

That would be worrying, prior to the summer he had two loan spells at Shrewsury and MK Dons from Wigan, if we were looking at him prior to a decent 6 months at Dundee our scouting team need there heads checked mate

His age would only be relevant if he was on a long-term contract. We only have him for 16 months and by the time next season starts, seven of those months will already be up. I’ve never heard of a loan signing who needs half a season to bed in.

Agree, I think this goes for guys like Compper (rest Boyata) & Kouassi (rest Brown) too

He was once on our books as a very young kid. Could be that we've kept a very loose eye on him as his career has progressed.

I think the first time it came out that BR liked him was after a decent display in the 1-0 win we had against Dundee at CP this season.

True but I don't think it matters if we get a great season out of him next season. I don't doubt they hoped it wouldn't be the case and he was ready to go from the off but I am not too concerned just now as there is still time to get a full season from him.

Brendan seemed to take a shine to him after a game earlier this season. I'm not particularly keen either on him, surely we've got to do better .

Because he’s not a very good judge of a player?

This is the thing. If this was last season when Boyata and Simunovic were playing well, no one would have batted an eyelid about a new centre back coming in and having to bide his time. But we’ve chopped the changed the back four every week for the past six weeks due to injuries, suspensions and loss of form. We reached the point where even Callum McGregor had to play left back for three games. And still Compper’s nowhere to be seen.
