Harry Souttar

I imagine Coady, Faes, and Doyle are Enzo's first choice back 3, I assume Souttar doesn't fancy being back up. 

 

Maybe Vesty is happy to be just that. 

Problem I have with this is; having just one back up in this league isn't good enough. the season is just too long and gruelling. 

And before anyone starts saying 'yeah but Ndidi, Justin, Kristiensen can play CB' etc etc. please don't. Square pegs in round holes is the route of footballing evil. If we haven't learnt that lesson over the past three years, god help us!

Doyle -> Kristiansen 

Coady -> Vestergaard 

Faes -> New signing 

Ricardo -> Justin 

 

Souttar too similar to Vestergaard, imagine once he leaves we bring in someone to cover Faes who is more in that mould of being able to play the RCB role.

Was dismissed by Beale 

 

Beale was quizzed on those reports and also rumours that Ridvan Yilmaz could leave the club following tonight's win over Servette.

He said: "There's nothing in either of those to report this evening. Ridvan is very, very happy. He's lost his best mate in Fashion Sakala, but outside that, he's very happy and will return to training next week.

"Harry Souttar, there might be a bit of lazy stuff around that because his brother players for us and I believe he follows our club. If there's any news on that, you'll be the first to know

[BKLFox]

I wonder if Celtic take a look at Harry now they have lost their main CB pairing for a number of weeks (months depending)? if any truth to Rangers reports to steal a march on them & obviously links with Rodgers.

I guess for the player it's which side you fall on & obviously with his brother at Rangers you'd expect him to be that side so would he even go Celtic if they offered him something?

Yeah Harry is a Rangers fan, seen in their kits.

Movement on Souttar to Rangers - possibly?

[Notting your mums forest]

Souttar to Rangers is all dependent on Rangers qualifying for the Champions League. Finely poised at present with Rangers drawing 2-2 with PSV at Ibrox. Fully expect a souttar bid IF Rangers get a result away in Eindhoven

So he won’t be going there then ……

[South Shire Fox]

Feel sorry for him, a bloke whos just bought a house in the area and wants to kick on at his new club but being let go because our manager prefers a 31 year old donkey with a year left on his contract. Souttar would of been a very good player at this level, massive shame

[STUHILL]

Perfect move from him if happens. Shame that he hasn't been given much of a chance here, but Enzo has obviously had a look at him, and prefers others in the squad. Come on Rangers!

A donkey who happens to be an experienced international who has played well under Maresca and who has the ability on the ball which sets him apart from Harry. The lazy hatred of Vestegaard is bordering on toxic and has no basis in the current reality

[JimJams]

There's got to be a reason that a 31 year old donkey is being preferred to him.

Someone tell me here why won't our manager's play Soutter......he can't be that bad! 

Plus we did pay around 15m for him aswell and he's still only 24 year's old

How many games has he played over the last two years for you to have used your eyes and drawn a conclusion?

Be honest, most fans don’t like him because he turned down moves not because of his game play.

I don't yet see what Vestergaard has done that Souttar couldn't do.

 

He does little 5 yard passes that anyone could do.

 

He hasn't played that well and any decent striker would have had him for breakfast in the games so far.

 

I do trust Maresca though ,so I'll have to support his decision

Theres a reason he hasnt played that many games.. If Daniel Amartey starts over you then theres something seriously wrong. A defender that cant defend or win a header even though hes 6ft 7. Denmark are hardly blessed with CBs for him to be an international so its not exactly a display of his quality

[JimJams]

If you trust Maresca then you have to assume that maybe Souttar is just as crap or worse than the Danish lump don't you? Logically if they were equals anybody would pick Souttar as he's younger and on a longer contract and lower wage, so he won't need replacing anytime soon. So if he's not getting the nod then obviously the coach thinks he's ass.

His 10 games under Rodgers were in an underperforming defensive unit, he was poor, so were the other 4. He was badly suited to Rodgers system and a lot of careers nose dived during that period. 

 

He has however got 30+ caps for a decent national team and some good coaches have had faith in him.

If you have time read today's press conference in the Rotherham match thread. Enzo gives an insight as to why he plays Vestergaard, but also acknowledges he has limitations with a lack of pace.

Think its going to take a striker to run rings around him and put 2/3 past for Enzo to realise the error of his ways

His Brother plays for Rangers. I don't imagine you would have one brother at Rangers and another at Celtic..

 I'd say the opposite. Defending him is bizarre. He's been much better this year and being fair you'd still say he's been poor overall.

 

He's also crap on the ball. Gives it away loads when under pressure. Just because he looks comfortable with it, doesn't disguise his actual ability. Spraying a pass with all the time in the world is easy, making the right decision in a split second isn't.

[James_lcfc]

Vestergaard over Souttar will never make sense, on any level.

 

Properly baffling decision.
