Think it was Joe who commented on the lack of balls aimed at putting Burns in.. Broady not only took those risks but pulled some off excellently. | |

Why? He’s been playing games, the Turkish league is ranked high enough to count and he’s a current international. No problem at all. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

I’m sure McKenna will be falling over himself to sign a player who made us worse when he played last season, on the back of what will no doubt be yet another underwhelming half season at Stoke… [Post edited 25 Jan 2023 9:50]

Of course not a problem. I was just surprised it hadn't needed a full season. Tis all. | |

Maybe, maybe not. I don't really care. | |

CELINA JOINS..... on 11:41 - Jan 25 with 1810 views | BigCommon | As mentioned above, I think Broadhead looks to be the player with some dynamism in that LAM slot, now.... But I do think that Cellina would fit like a glove into this current team. Especially now we've upgraded the LWB position, and have much better strikers in the squad to convert the many chances he created last season.. Piggot and Bonne combined, robbed Cellina of a good half dozen more assists, imo.. Cellina's close control, meant that he rarely lost the ball. Pretty vital in a possession based team. Questionable motivation/desire at times though.. Broadhead , (so far, imo) , has a more young and hungry look about him.. I'd still take Cellina over Harness in a heartbeat. .Got nothing against Harness. But Cellina is a better fit for us in terms of ball retention, imo... I'm quite sure, the "Cellina thing", will come up again in the Summer window..Even if its just SM banter.. | | | |

Why is it nonsense? We picked up more points and scored more goals when he wasn’t playing last year than with him in the side, in fact our best spells of the season came when he was on the sidelines and our form dropped massively when he was playing regularly at the end of the season. So I’d be interested to know how he made us better other than ‘OMG â¤ï¸ Santi, he scored a great goal against Crewe once, best player in the league!’ Obviously the part about Stoke hasn’t happened yet so could be proven to be rubbish, but given he’s now 26 and has never scored or assisted more than a handful of goals in a season I’m pretty confident my prediction will be correct there too | |

The form did not drop because of Celina, he was still creating chances and had very strong expected assist numbers, but our strikers were some of the most wasteful in the league under McKenna. Celina was fearing them chances that they weren’t finishing. Along with being the start point of many dangerous attacks. If you can’t appreciate Celina as a footballer, it isn’t for you. | |

Did we have different strikers playing when Celina wasn’t in the side then? Presumably the strikers have also been rubbish everywhere else he’s been too [Post edited 25 Jan 2023 13:06]

Bar one season prior to us signing, Piggott has been rubbish everywhere else. Bonne has a reputation for blowing hot and cold, which reflects what we saw. Though we also know he had mitigating circumstances for his form dropping and that had nothing to do with Celina Norwood did score and has continued to score, but wasn't used much. As for Celina, Given we have Broadhead, I don't see the appeal. If we are always looking to improve, I don't see a significant enough improvement to make it worthwhile. | |
