Celina Learning So Much at Town - Ipswich Town News

Loanee Bersant Celina says he’s learning a lot from Blues boss Mick McCarthy and his Town team-mates. The 21-year-old, who is on loan for the season from Manchester City, has already scored seven goals for Town having made 10 starts and eight sub appearances.

"I am learning so much from the manager here,” the Kosovan international told iFollow Ipswich.

"The philosophy is different from City and that is what I need right now. I have to do the defending side as well as look to do things going forward. I’m in a really good place to learn.

"There are a lot of very talented players here, like Didzy [David McGoldrick] and Waggy [Martyn Waghorn] and I can learn from them. Nearly all the players are older than me and I look up to them. I learn from them.

"Waggy has shown how talented he is with the goals he scores. If I can watch him and add what he does to my game, then great. It’s going to make me a better player.”

Meanwhile, former Blues boss Joe Royle has left his role as professional development coordinator at Everton, a position he has held since July 2014.

"While it just feels like the right time for me to take a break, I’ll still be around the place," the 68-year-old said.

"I’ve been coming to Goodison for more than 60 years and I’m not going to stop now. I’ve always been an Evertonian and I will always be an Evertonian.”
