Celtic signed Tilio from Melbourne City. Great prospect but still young and physically developing. Seems strange that it was Rodgers who had Daniel Arzani, another talented lad, at Celtic and now he has Tilio. Just hope they are patient and don’t rush him.

He is 21, not 17, if he is as good as he looks then he needs to step up or he simply isn’t as good as perhaps he thinks.

I think he looks really good, great dribbler, good passing, eye for a goal, gets stuck in. With Jota and probably Abada leaving he has a chance to make an impact band claim a jersey. I think he can but it won’t be because of his age. He needs to have the heart and if you don’t have that at 21 you never will.

If you’ve watched any football from Australia on a consistent basis, you’ll know that there is a huge leap from the A League to the SPFL in terms of speed and in particular physicality. There’s a few of us on here who watch the other CFG teams on a consistent basis so have seen him play quite often. Tilio has been a bit of a late developer and one could reasonably argue that last year was really his breakout season. He has all of the positive attributes that you mention, but I would also draw your attention to the fact that he only played the full 90 minutes in 6 of City’s 24 regular season games. A player can have all the heart in the world, but they need a pair of lungs to get around the park. As I mentioned, he is a great prospect and a player who will excite your crowd, but I think you might not see the very best of him until he fully develops, which was why I urged patience.

Bottom line at us is you don’t get patience. You either do the business or you are on the bench. I hear what you are saying, but he needs to deliver. I think he looks as if he can, he will be entering a supportive dressing room, Rogers will build his confidence and the support will be right behind him. From there it’s up to the lad. I am confident he will succeed. Time will tell.

Indeed. The fact that you have rewarded him with a five-year contract suggests, to me, that Celtic recognise that he is a player to develop, especially as both parties are guarding the price paid. I would imagine he will have a mixed first season, with starts and substitute appearances, and that you will then progressively see him improve In seasons 2 and 3. It simply takes time for the body to develop. For me, it has the feel of a Postecoglou signing.

We give five year contracts for the simple reason we know if a player does well they will move to a bigger league and we can get a higher fee. And the signing is a result of Ange getting gems from other leagues that we can afford, so this is a model we will continue with. If Rogers didn’t want the lad he wouldn’t be here. The same goes for young Oden and Yang from Korea. He’s here because Rogers wanted him. I’m glad he did.

They are two-way things, however. Longer contracts also add a little insurance to the moving player, particularly when they’re coming from entirely different cultures and where both parties know they might need time to develop. It’s an interesting model and the focus in youth and development gives Rodgers a fresh challenge in his career, one he probably needed.
 
You were having a dig at CCV so save your shit and fucking own your crap. Every **** who reads that knows you were having a pop. Even you.
I was having a dig by saying he was one of your best player if not your best?

Ffs I’ll have to work on my insults lol

You are a mentalist. My biggest mistake was thinking you might actually be different from the average Celtic fan but nope. Blinded by hatred and believe everything you’re told

Your biggest mistake is thinking you know anything about me. It’s fucking rich a rangers fan say g we are full of hate. Wind your fuckinh by heck in with the insults and stick to delusion. You have that mastered. You know fuck all about me.

I admit I was a little slow in realising you’re a fucking idiot but it’s ok. I’ve got it now

There you go again with the ‘delusion’ nonsense. Only the other day another poster called you an arrogant tit or something along those lines. He obviously knows you a lot better than I do

Your managers left.

You have a manager your own fans despise

Signed a couple of nothing kids from poor leagues.

Lost / losing at least two of your better players

You won the league by 7 points from an injury ravaged Rangers team with another couple of players uninterested.

Rangers have signed quality and have quality players returning from long term injury. Yet you mock Rangers supporters for being optimistic while prattling on about having domestic dominance and putting up a decent Euro campaign lol

Time will tell……
