Caledonian Craig Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I would not recommend any of our youth players going to Liverpool. Better off going to a smaller club where they have a good chance getting first team football, impressing and being an established pro before such a move. Remember Robbie Foy and Danny Wilson.

I agree mate. Being a Celtic man I want Doak to sign a contract, butbI have heard he is keen on Liverpool. I wish him well, as I would any young Scottish talent, but as you say, not a great move. You would have to be world class to crack the Liverpool senior side. It's a hulluva gamble for a young lad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syecosse Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Doak, Wilson and Lowry could be that bit extra attacking players we need, Owen Brown an analyst for Scottish youths talks a lot about these 3 as well as Robbie Fraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big european clubs can offer good money to their youth players and i dont really blame them for taking that route. Doak can make himself a few grand a week or more by signing for liverpool. Celtic maybe need to up money they pay to youth players as they seem to be losing them alot these days to bigger clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far less chance of the latter two moving straight to Liverpool. Edited March 24, 2022 by Caledonian Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could save 2k a week for the next 4 years and if hes not good enough for the epl or english championship then come back up the road and get a chance with a spl side at the age of 20. That way hes saved 500k, thats a good chunk of money plus he will be able to play spl or league1/2 in england and earn maybe 1 or 2 k a week in those leagues. If he stays at celtic on say 1k a week and he ends up not being good enough and moves to the lower leagues in england or an spl team then hes effectively lost out on 500k. Its alot harder to save cash when you are 1k a week. Personally i would prefer he stays at celtic as i think he will get gametime and improve his chances of being a top footballer but the money that epl clubs can offer youth players is outrageous these days and doak has to think about whats best for him, he could get a career ending injury or he might end up not being good enough for celtic. Its a short career and the possibility of banking 500k at liverpool is too good to turn down imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you’re a rangers man but it’s shocking how little first team experience is given to young talent at Ibrox. Probably increases Wilson’s chances of first team exposure moving to England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could work out just as well as staying with Celtic. The same applies to Wilson but in both cases their mental maturity would be important if they were to move at 16.

romanticscot Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I read at the weekend that Barcelona and Real Madrid are both keen on Tierney. I say go for it lad and test yourself at the very top, reap everything the game has for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Austria, although they are an average looking team at the moment, having Alaba does give you pause. Same goes for Wales. Take out Bale and there would be nothing to be intimidated by. KT at Madrid would immediately give us a psychological boost. Robbo and McT already give us a mental edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson is one of the best LB's in the world IMO. He is at the top level, CL winner, EPL winner and in with a serious chance of winning both again this season. Other players play at a very high level like Mctominay, Tierney and MCginn, those three are slightly below Robertson. Tierney at Real or Barca would be brilliant to see every week. Its looking like we will see him stepping up to the CL next season even if he doesn;t move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
