Celina is impressing me more and more, but he’s still not a shoe-in as a starter. If we can’t guarantee him a starting spot - should we go all out to buy him and potentially blow a lot of the budget on just him and leave ourselves short in other areas. |  | |  |

Celina should start every possible game in the run-in and certainly should be a shoo-in for the rest of the season. I don't see why we shouldn't be in a position to sign him and the handful of others that we may need. There will almost certainly be departures this Summer. I wouldn't be surprised though if he had offers from further up the chain so it may be out of our hands. We should do what we can to keep him. |  | |  |

Yep, whatever our game plan he has to play. He's our match winner. Such a clever player and he's really matured since he was here on loan previously. A far better player than the decent version we had in the Championship. |  | |  |

Also think he's just got better under McKenna. Earlier in the season he was very good but more erratic in possession, trying too many flicks and impossible passes. He really moves us forward now whilst still tracking back when required. His use of the ball and eye for a pass are sublime. He'd have a few more assists too if the strikers were a tad more aware. |  | |  |

Think he has 2 more years, but Dijon aren’t close to play offs so will definitely be in 2nd tier again, so won’t be able to afford his wages again next season - just a case of whether we can get it done again |  |

I reckon they'll try and sell him which with a fee and paying whatever his wages will be in full will make his signature impossible unfortunately. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Same again next season would do me. What he’s lacked this season is initially fitness, match fitness, and latterly a level of consistency and minutes. He’s been in and out which I don’t think has helped him. He needs to find his role in the side, I was calling for him to be played deeper a couple of weeks ago alongside Morsy and got pellets, I just think he’s so much more effective when he’s looking forward, or at the least 90 degrees forward when he’s on the left. In the #10 role he plays too much of the game with his back to their goal for me and it’s not really his game. It works slightly better with 2 number 10’s as he can drop deeper. KM will know where he’s best deployed, he’s certainly got a lot of ability. |  |

Dijon presumably wanted to do that Last Summer too. (I suppose the question is - does Celina's fitness change the equation for better placed clubs? Do some prospective suitors have more money than they did last Summer?) [Post edited 6 Mar 2022 11:03]
