I've said this before but I'll say it again... he wants Celtic because of how he's been treated & by that I mean both sides, Celtic have made him feel wanted & given him excellent treatment, fans love him & he rose to the occasion. On the other hand City signed him full of promises & then sent him on loan, he was then made more promises & now looks like another loan! For him he feels messed about & As a youngster would you rather make some sort of career where you know you're wanted or passed from pillar to post knowing you'll probably eventually be sent packing anyway?
It's not about having to prove himself it's about how he's been treated, Denayer has had the same treatment. Patrick just wants to play every week, he gained a reputation at Fulham & only left based on promises made, false promises!
I love this club to death but the treatment of some youngsters is poor really & most fans don't know the full extent behind their stories, it's a shame as we could be so much better & fingers crossed we are down the line. In Patrick's case we should of done a deal & left him at Fulham to develop & progress but we stopped that progression instead.
I'm not ITK with players at our club & most info I get is commercial or behind the scenes, but this lads story I know well.
