Watching the city v arsenal game and the passing, touch and ability of De Bruyne is absolute world class - Raheem Stirling on the other hand is quite the (overpriced) fud.
Wee paddy is potentially twice the player IMO.

Paddy has done nothing so far this season, Forrest has been well ahead of him performance wise.

No even talking about Forrest ( who has been fantastic) The post was about Stirling - City - Roberts?!

He is not twice the player of Sterling. We Paddy is miles away from the City first team. He is not even first choice at Celtic.

Sterling is one of the most overrated players in a long time.
Also dafabet once a bhoy never said padfy was twice the player. He said he had the POTENTIAL to be.

Has Paddy lives up to expectations so far this season? He has not done anything of note or even scored a goal. I like the boy put he has flattered to dicieve.

{Ed007's Note - Remember he spent preseason being a bit part player at City while our players were working their socks off in CL qualifying, I think it's just taking Paddy time to get back up to the level of his team-mates.
If Paddy has spent his summer at Celtic he would have been flying for a while now.}

I said that the other week, he would have been tuned in to playing in a winning team with a big game mentality the wee man will come good.

If Sterling was over rated then don't you think Guardiola, who is one of the world's top coaches, with a vast amount of money to spend would have replaced him?

I agree that there are aspects of his game that need improving but he is a top class player and I would be over the moon if he came to Celtic (I know it will never happen) .

{Ed001's Note - Pep did try and replace him in the summer but the lad has stepped up his game this season in response.}

I think the way he contributed to our success with his great goals and assists in his first 18 month loan proved what he can be capable of and he will only get better. I know he has struggled so far for form and fitness but so have a few others and even when he's not playing - his presence has certainly contributed to James Forrest's resurgence.

Correct Ed. Paddy is getting there. He us better than Forrest. Forrest has raised the bar, the problem with Janes us he has done that before, it's staying there that has always been the problem.

I hope he does, but I have my doubts. With Paddy when he reaches his form he stays there. That's the difference. The level of form is also higher than Forrest.

Let us hold back the judgement on who should be in until the games come up. The ball is in Forrest's court. Him keeping his chest in the shirt is his responsibility. He knows if he flatlined again, as he has done throughout his career he's out.

The problem is not that Forrest does not have the ability. It's he doesn't, up till now, have the ability to maintain it. For us we want both firing, whoever wins or loses has only themselves to hold accountable.

Paddy is top drawer in my opinion
Not on form right now but the boy has skills.
James Forrest deserves to be first pick and we’ll done to him. Let’s hope he keep consistency for the rest of the season and Paddy fires back up full throttle. We’ll need the squad if we’re going for a treble and the Europa league.

I admire James Forrest despite the hateful stuff written on forums and despite one of our players who play closest to crowd and suffers from regular abuse from fans who should have been banned from Celtic Park years ago, he still continues to put on match winning performances . I really admire him this year despite the resigning of Paddy Roberts, who many fans wet their knickers over, James still put on player of match performance against Bavern Munich.
