I can't let that one pass, if a team looks like "upping their game" then historically you (and Rangers when they were relevant) just dive in and sign their most influential players - Celtic did it recently buying Jonny Hayes from Aberdeen. That policy ensures that the grossly uneven nature of the SPFL continues.
Back on topic, I'd say Ntcham would be a handy player for the Europa League but I doubt he'd be good enough or consistent enough to dramatically improve your CL fortunes.
Yes I know but in that case how do you expect other SPFL clubs to up their game if you keep nicking their best players - the financial gap alone is huge enough as it is.About the bigger teams buying the players of the smaller teams? You do that too, it's the way it is.
Either you or Liverpool will take VVD from Southampton.
I'm disappointed about the Europa level thing. That's made me think what a fucking waste of time. We had been hoping for someone better than that. He is only 21 so maybe we can improve him.

Maybe Ntcham will improve, if he matures a bit who knows? I hope he does as I like to see our Academy graduates doing well for themselves even if it's not at City.
Looking to be up to speed. It's only SR but we are looking sharp. Hopefully surprise a few people this year.

Ntcham was a player I had high hopes for and he was fantastic in some of the games I watched live. He didn't really seem to progress too much from his days playing first team football as a 16 year old, but it is always hard to judge players who are highly developed physically, as they are often competing against less physically commanding opponents. If he develops in the way that I imagined he would, Celtic will have a player on their hands.
