Adam Matthews?

Wed Nov 28, 2012 10:12 pm

I've been thinking, with our full back situation going to struggle if we get promoted. Would you go for Adam? Welsh, been playing well for Celtic, solid defender. Also, how much do you think Celtic would ask/value him at? :ayatollah:

Thoughts? :ayatollah:

He would walk in our side at present, I dont think he would come though, the way he is playing for celtic he will be in the premier league before long, and he would never come back at the moment if Celtic get through in the champions league.

Oh yeah, forgot about their presence in the CL. Would love to see him back though :ayatollah:

I'm not sure atm, certainly someone a bit stronger defensively.

I may be making this up or heard it wrong but I'm sure Celtic put an £8mil price tag on him.

I'd pay £4M at most for Adam :ayatollah:

Lots of clubs out silly prices on players to try and warm people off.
Doubt anyone would pay more than 2-3m tho

Yea I suppose, any as I said, I probably not right but I thought I saw an article where Lennon valued him at £8m.

Shame he left, thought he was decent.

Wouldn't surprise me if Lennon said it.

I'd have liked to have seen how/if MM used him.

A right winger, I thought, he was ok at defending but his ability to run down the line impressed me.

IMO never good enough defensively, but he was young back then.
I don't watch many Celtic games but when he starts for Wales he still has that defensive naivity

Decent going forward but not great defensively, Unfortunately he had great potential and that Fat Wanker jones ruined him here. :evil:

Why because he scored a goal? I don't get the fuss on this lad.

With his age and Champions League experience, I think you're looking at £7m (at the very least) for the lad.

Would be great to see him return, though.

Your off your head.
Does that mean every Celtic player is worth more because they play CL.

2-3m max and assuming he was a bench player and that's while we are championship.

Overated by people just so they can have a dig at Dave Jones :roll:

He scored a top notch goal last night and his attacking play is pretty good BUT his defending does at times let him down I'm afraid .

It was a decent finish against a part time second division side, a better keeper would have saved it though.

something the matter with people

scoring a goal and suddenly we should go for him :shock:

Re: Adam Matthews?

Not ONLY because he scored, but for a performances in the League and CL.
