He did score on his debut for Canada though, so he is capable of scoring goals Did he have a couple of assists in his international games as well? Was hoping he’d be the attacking midfielder we need. Ach well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Described as a box-to-box midfielder so I'd presume he'd provide a similar role to McGhee i.e. doing the running for Charlie basically. I reckon having to compete with players like Blaise Matuidi for midfield spots made what he did for Miami less important in terms of creative output, have a good feeling about him over here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikethedee Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Picked up a ticket for Livi in the shop today (yes, I know) and they are selling Dumbarton tickets there too as far as I could see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean true, but with the constant talk of discussions ongoing, another Celtic player touted to maybe be joining us on loan, the fact we're shopping for other strikers and the quote from Ange, the circumstantial evidence is piling up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netan Sansara Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t terminate his loan and then he signs for us on a free. Might be in Celtics interest to get him off the books and us to sign him (if McPake wants him). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a more defensive midfielder is getting in the box and pitching in with goals that’ll do for me! Let’s hope you’re gut feeling’s correct. Not much info on the boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juneof86 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I am going to slightly disagree with senorsoupe, I think Chapman is ideally a playmaking, attacking midfielder, but he rarely got to play that role in MLS. In Toronto he was always behind a very expensive No. 10 (if not 2 very expensive 10s) and in Miami they had Rodolfo Pizzaro (who was controversially left off Mexico’s squad for Russia) and Blaise Matuidi. I was shocked that he started 13 matches last season. Inter Miami were such a mess that they spent $6M on a young Argentine Pellegrini in that position and then signed Matuidi and Gonzalo Higuain and weren’t able to use Pellegrini because of the salary rules and had to loan him out. Chapman is tall for a midfielder, but he’s not a physical player. He’s got some skill and keeps things ticking along. I have no idea how he is going to fare in the SPL. It seems like an odd fit for him in terms of style of play, but he has a bit of quality and I want to see how he does if he is tasked with providing that final ball. His dad is English, so surely the work permit shouldn’t be an issue. I wouldn’t read too much into his international appearances. Canada has annual January camp with the Scandanavian players on break and the MLS players in the off-season. It always features a few new faces or players on the fringe of the squad and a closed-door friendly to end the camp that is a glorified training match. In his debut, Canada subbed keepers at half, the debutant keeper hit the post in the 55th, went off and Canada finished with a defender in goal and still won 4-2. In his last appearance in 2020 he only appeared in one of the two matches against Barbados and didn’t feature in the “proper” match against Iceland. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please make your way over to the St Johnstone thread and teach Randomguy how to make a factual and informing footballing post without making people want to find their nearest bridge to call it a day on existence through a boredom overload. We have an ageing player behind the striker and Chapman may beable to take over that role. Just to let you know you've probably given the useless local media their article for papers tomorrow.
