Rodgers has proven to be a top coach and pragmatic, it seems unlikely to me he would sideline a guy with those stats without good cause. Its a shame (for scotland) he's another in the long line of strikers who could have been our best guy, and it just didn't happen. He signed Dembele then Edouard, both of whom were sold on for large profits Thats why he was sidelined Griffiths was never in that class. He wasn’t even good enough for Wolves in League One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t even good enough for Wolves in League One. Well on that, Dembele came first and then Edouard the season after. Neither came close to matching the goal record of Griffiths the season prior to Dembeles arrival. In 26 league games for wolves as a young player he scored 12 goals, I've not looked into how many of these matches he actually started. Griffiths was a very good player, capable of playing at a higher level at his peak. Unfortunately his peak never lasted long enough. If you disagree fair enough, but his stats at his best more than back him up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfCutNinja Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 He absolutely pissed it at Wolves. That's why a team with a bigger budget signed him. They also played him as a withdrawn striker and he was still rattling them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 100% down to attitude and application Even when he was banging in the goals for us, Delia was criticising him for his lack of fitness Every manager he played under at Celtic criticised his fitness The guy just wasn’t a professional Natural talent can only take you so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the bench when they sold him That’s because his return of 9 goals in open play from 26 games in League One for the team at the top just wasn’t good enough Hence why they got shot of him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't failing when he was sold - as has been pointed out he was their top scorer and they decided to cash in on that fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens when you're doing well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy86 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Tommy Conway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Mildly excited that we seem to be on the verge of fast tracking 20 yr old Tommy Conway into the senior squad for the upcoming NL triple header. I know it's due to necessity, but it feels quite a progressive move, going for a promising youth as opposed to an older player "who can do a job".I'll admit though that I don't know much about him or his style of play (Couldn't find a good compilation vid on YouTube either). Can anyone summarise?P.S. Shankland must feel pretty low about being overlooked, even as a backup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
