The boy is so far out of his depth that your heart breaks for him. It's that embarrassing. He is their worst player since Du Wei in 2005. To be fair, that's what people said about Bates a year ago. But Bates has the attributes to be a decent centerback, he's big enough and quick enough over 6 yards. Right now he's doing as much as could be asked of him in the league he's playing at and next season will likely be given a sterner test each week than any other centerback we have. For me, Hendry falls into the same bucket. He has the attributes needed, and at 23, it would be silly to write him off. Celtic might not be the place for him to develop, but he has the attributes, so if he has the will and finds the right environment, there's every chance we'll have a decent centerback on our hands. Going to Sunderland, a team on the up, at a level that he can excel at and with a manager that believes in him, he might just find the confidence that seems to be lacking of late. Fingers crossed for him. I think it's always worth remembering that footballers are people. Their for varies depending on where they are and how they're feeling as much as anything else. Players who looked completely unable to kick a ball straight suddenly become solid and reliable under a different manager or at a new club. It happens all the time, yet we, as fans, still seem to fall into this mindset of 'hes rubbish, get rid'. I can understand that from a club point of view. it's not working for your club, fine, move him on. but for scotland.. we should be looking at the bigger picture. what base abilities does the player have and how could they develop.

No, I've seen him play and the boy is completely shite and in the same class as Du Wei, Rafael & Fernando de Ornelas Now, write three hundred lines utterly pointless analysis about that if you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perhaps more a question of confidence (or lack of). Centre backs reach their peak much later than other players. Regarding our pool of CBs we just lack more left-footers, only McKenna being left -sided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not played as many games as might be expected, mainly because he was transferred from Thistle just as he was breaking into their team. He still has a chance to become a good player with a loan move where he plays every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"good technique" Such an expert are you on the amazing Jack Hendry that you name the wrong club he transferred from Face it, the lad is pish. Just because they are a Scottish player doesn't mean you have to pretend that they are all bloody amazing. If a guy is pish and can't even do the basics properly, then he should be called out as such. Jack Hendry will never, ever make it and should no longer be considered for internationals.

Besides I hardly think Jack Hendry himself will give the slightest flying feck what a non-entity like me thinks of his truly awful football skills.

There what a bad, nasty man I am. Point is he recommended him to Scotland when we we were struggling to find ANY young CBs and BEFORE he was Celtic player. Managers don't usually big up players from other clubs for international football. Not that I'm a fan especially - Porteous will probably challenge before Hendry.

It’s only a loan. It will be a chance to see if he has improved or stagnated. If he’s improved he’ll be one of the best players in the league and will end up elsewhere.

Seems a weird one to me. He's already on loan, starting every game and just bagged a couple of goals. Why would he want to swap that for hibs? I understand the clubs might be close to an agreement, but i don't see what's in it for Gauld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
