Bersant Celina

[CityFan94]

Had a good game last night.

Didn't look like a number 9, only played there because Ambrose was injured, but as an attacking midfielder he has a lot of potential.

I commented on the Match Threat how good his link-up play was, it was superb.

Another brilliant young talent we have on our hands.

I like that City have so many talented players in midfield. Celina is another who just knows where the space is around him and is so classy on the ball. City are doing the right thing in testing them further up the pitch and also in deeper roles to develop their all round game. The balance of the side is excellent - we have big physical players to enforce the midfield, the likes of Boadu who can burst past players and then Garcia and Celina who can pick a pass and keep the ball moving and most of them are willing to get a shot on goal. It's a really classy academy we have at the moment.

Just from watching those highlights it's no surprise, our U18's or EDS would probably slaughter either team.

I thought after their first friendly awhile back he said he'd never do that again? Totally amateurish setup from memory.

I know he only played for 5-10 mins today but he looked pretty sharp. Promising

Albania finished their Euro qualifiers above Serbia and Denmark and only behind Portugal. Not as trash as you make it sound.

Besides being a little late to the party you also failed to highlight the correct bit.

He's a very bright, confident player. No surprise.

Just watched these and its great to see him being in the right place. Proving that throwing a kid on when we're a couple of goals to the good, especially when its an attacker, is absolutely no harm at all. Attackers have free reign to either be great, or a bit quiet. There is literally nowt to lose so its fine and it should be done to give these kids a chance they can do something interesting.

Anyone who watches the EDS regularly will know that Celina's a very bright player and its genuinely no surprise to see that he managed to get two shots away in five minutes. He's that kind of player, and id honestly think he'd be a nice little option every now and then against a stubborn defence with twenty mins left because he's very likely to curl one in from twenty yards as he makes space for himself excellently. Likewise, a deadball situation would be a golden chance for him.

Whenever I've watched Celina I'm always reminded of Jovetic (minus the injuries). They seem to offer an indefinable 'something' that makes them stand out against other players. Another one that I've high hopes for.

BTW, @twosips when did you start writing for the MEN? http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...news/bersant-celina-man-city-profile-10709595

Jovetic is a good comparison actually, but a little deeper in his positional sense. Very similar direct sense of play.

And the MEN....ha. You should see their Pozo piece after he left. It was genuinely just plagiarism. Amused me but my girlfriend was livid ha
