Sinclair was never class mate, and still isn't. He's a good player but you're kidding yourself if you think he's any more than that.
Sterling would run amok in SPL.
I don't think Sinclair was ever a very good player at Premier League level. I'm not judging him on his time at City, I actually thought he wasn't given anywhere near enough of a chance with us, but I'd say over his career it's fair to say he was a very decent player at Championship level but has always been pretty much bang average in the Premier League. Sinclair has never operated at anywhere near the level Sterling does in the English Prem. Can you imagine what Sterling would look like playing for Celtic in that league?Both have been brilliant. Sinclair started this term being a bit off his usual but has come on again.
As you know football is about confidence and belief and he has been given that up here. Both of them have. Paddy us a much better player now than when he came. His game has grown. He has toughened up. He works hard for the team, he has a sublime final ball, he can score goals. His dribbling can and does create space and being here has instilled the we need to win every game mentality, second is fuck all.
Both have played in the CL and shown they are players worthy of it. Sinclair didn't become a bad player, he was always class but lost his way. It happens. I am looking forward to this year with Paddy back as we can score against anyone.
Our CB berth, like yours is a weak link and I fear that this will come back and bite both our teams arses.
Let's see how he performs in the CL. I think you're being harsh, as you do me about my view of Sterling.
As for running amok up here? Maybe, but he's down there and if he's as good as you think he should be doing it there too. The fact he was being considered in a swap for Sanchez, tells me, if it's true, might be a load of shite, but if it is true, that the powers at be could see a future without him.
Was the swap thing true or paper talk.
The main thing I took from those swap rumours was that Arsenal were desperate to get Sterling from us and that we wouldn't entertain letting him go. But I know there have been various interpretations of what was going on. At the very least, even if we were prepared to let Sterling go, I think we know that Arsenal were very happy to take him. I guarantee they wouldn't have been happy to swap Sanchez for Scott Sinclair.Let's see how he performs in the CL. I think you're being harsh, as you do me about my view of Sterling.

Nothing to do with him being in a shite league, of course.This Roberts vs Sinclair Vs Sterling discussion is madness.
Roberts is a young guy with a lot to prove, happy to have him back at Celtic but he was never going to play for City.
Sinclair has been a fantastic signing for us. Couldn't care less about his reputation down south. He's at the right club, at the right time, under the right manager. Playing some of his best stuff and i've no doubt it'll be because he spends 80/90% of the game attacking the opposition instead of getting hammered playing in a diabolical villa team.
Sterling was sold for £50million and is an england international, case closed.
Roberts first game back for us on Friday. Still got injuries upfront, slight chance he could start as our striker. He did a few times last season, didn't really work.

It was possibly that attitude that prevented you from buying VVD for £13m.
Well, he's playing against fuck all, my sainted mother would give him a harder game....and so on.
Let's see how he does in the CL. Or is the Prem a higher level than that, even though it's been five years since any team landed a glove anywhere near it?
Go on then, enlighten us, why did Sinclair fail at the two top clubs he was at, in England, before tearing it up in a shite league, north of the border? Pretty sure Sinclair played in the CL for your lot last season too, how did that work out? Oh yeah, you finished bottom.It was possibly that attitude that prevented you from buying VVD for £13m.
