What an astonishing thread. 17 goals and 15 assists and folk are wanting to see the back of him. Of those goals - crucial goals v Astana and Anderlecht. He had a sensational first season and an explosive start to this season. Like the rest of the team looked a little jaded but I put this down to the injury list which hasn't allowed us to rotate players as much as we would have liked. Yet he's still played 45 games.
The guy is a model professional - which reminds me of him at Motherwell the other week. He was out early in the first half warming up along with Roberts and someone else (can't recall). Once finished he went back to the dug-out. Compper, Musonda (and maybe Lustig) went round to warm up. Now their warm-up wasn't as intense in fact it was almost like weans doing a few stretches for the sake of it. Sinclair must have been sent round as he told them to up the intensity - and strangely Compper was told to go back to the bench. Sinclair then went through another intense session showing them how it was done.
Sinclair is exactly the type of player on the field I'd rather see at Celtic. Quite often he's been double tagged this season and yet every time he gets the ball he's likely to create something. FWIW Tierney has also looked a little jaded this season and this is having an impact on our creativity down the left, IMO. The return of Roberts will also see teams needing to think about Celtic attacking from other angles and this will open up space for Sinclair.
Personally I'd rather keep the quality players like Sinclair. Still if he's getting it in the neck then that probably means Forrest (who also receives the same criticism from the KDS championship manager brigade) must be getting it easy.
My thoughts exactly. Replacing Sinclair won't be as easy as people think. He will hit top form again soon.
No doubt. Would be very difficult. I don't think Rodgers wants to stay here either so that's another problem.

Edouard, although not as good right now, is significantly better than most of the strikers we've had since Larsson. I'd hope we take the punt on him than go back to the drawing board.
This is a stretch. A mighty one. The boy has proven nothing against anyone as yet. And I'm not sure if he's even the 2nd best striker at the club at this minute. Give me something to hold on to

He's not had a regular run in the team but has done well in the majority of his appearances. He's made the difference in several games this season. There's definitely proof of his ability and potential.

On a purely factual level, my statement is correct as the majority of the strikers we've had in the last decade have been utter pish and failed to make the grade...

The less he plays the better he gets again
We all want him to do well - we all want him to find his form - all season people have been n saying ‘today is the day he gets his mojo back’ and it’s not really happened
No idea why - the excuses proffered are hysterical - like he’s he only footballer to live away for his family or have a famous wife or even a pregnant one - he might just have had a shampoo season because he’s the kind of player who has shampoo seasons periodically
If he has another one - then we can look to move him on I’m sure and his place in the starting line up will go to someone else
I’m sure BR loves him and will be working with him - he persisted with him too but he’s had quite rightly dropped him to the bench - correct decision by a manager who made sure he signed him as soon as he came here
I can’t wait for him to click again - but I can also see with my own eyes that he’s had a poor season overall - and still managed an impressive return in the first half of the season especially but that doesn’t mean people can’t be honest about his overall form this season - it’s not been good enough

Look, don't get me wrong he's probably got a brilliant future ahead of him and hopefully it's with us. I think e're close to overrating the poor lad and he's barely had time to get muck on his predators with us yet.

His partner, Helen Flanagan, said that their daughter was born in the Midlands as she felt it was important for their child to have a connection with the area their father worked. (Words to that effect).
This was in relation to being asked if she planned to have their next child here, in Scotland, or in England.
So does she want to stay here or go to "sunny Bournemouth" to have the kid?
sources would suggest in glasgow

What I was referring to was Pukki, Fridge, Balde, Brozek, Bangura, Cole, Richards, Rasmussen and so on.
My worry being that we take a risky punt rather than opt to spend a bit more on quality.
EDIT: I do get your point though

If he's not happy and wants to go, and we get decent money, then he goes with my thanks for his efforts. If he wants to stay then great, I'm pleased he's still a great player. It's his shout imho

No doubt. Would be very difficult. I don't think Rodgers wants to stay here either so that's another problem. Brendan pushes for a hybrid pitch, we give him hybrid pitch, Brendan effs off anyway as it wasn't hybrid enough.
Bad enough the media pushing this nonsense despite all the quotes from Brendan saying otherwise without fans jumping on the bandwagon.

Bournemouth legend Harry Redknapp would love to see Scott Sinclair move to his old club, with the Celtic winger reportedly keen to return to England in the summer. (Scottish Sun)
ok , its the sun , but if he really is wanting back down south that might explain his poorer form over the last few months.

I like him but he has been miles off his best for a while now.
Even when he was dropped for a period, he didn't look any better when he came back into the side recently.
I don't care about his stats. My eyes tell me he has been muck.
Wouldn't miss him if he went on this seasons form. Plus he is on 40k a week, could possibly be spent better elsewhere.

I think this is generally what you see with Sinclair at all his clubs. Plays really well for a period, form dips, moves on. He's a great player when on form but there's a reason we got him for the price we did.
What can we reasonably expect to sell him for though, should it come to that?
