Massive player for us to get back. However sad its now probably came to late.

This spell without forrest has highlighted how important he has been for us in recent seasons even further.

Jullian could still be out for another 6-9 months.

Sorry I’ve started a rumour myself there.
It isn’t another 6-9 months,
Just 6-9 months from the injury, which will take him to September at worse.

Realistically we will need to bring in someone who can be a mainstay in the team. Julien will have to work to get his place back.

I always find it funny how a player can go from being average to a superstar in some peoples eyes because he has been out injured for a few months.
Forrest is average at best, he has scored something like 60 goals in 10 years whilst in the first team, he has 1 good season under Rodgers and won himself a new contract.
He is the same as Rogic, plays rubbish most of the season but pops up and scores a goal against Rangers, in the cups or Europe and people think he is the best thing since sliced bread.

James Forrest has very good statistics.
He has scored 60 league goals,
But Forrest has also scored 30 cup goals including 12 European goals.
He turned into a different player when Brendan came to the club.
He was more direct and he also enjoyed injury free seasons.
It resulted in an additional 46 assists in only 4 seasons.
Forrest only managed another one assist before his bad injury this season.

Can I also add that James Forrest only had 5 assists in his first 6 seasons before Brendan Rodgers came to the club.
It just shows how much his game changed for the better and Brendan and his coaching staff made him into a more all round mature player.

Dont think anyone is saying Forrest is a world beater. He is a very good Scottish premiership player who we have missed badly this season.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Feb 2021 20:05:07
But have we missed him badly Fifer?
Would he have been playing in the back 4 or as a goalkeeper?
Do you honestly think if Forrest had been fit it would have made any kind of a difference to how Lennon sets up the team or uses his subs, I think we all know if we are honest that having Forrest fit this season would have made NO difference.
It would probably have also stopped Turnbull from getting the game time that he has as Christie and Rogic would have been the 2 to play in the No:10 role with Turnbull missing out.

Agree1 Disagree0

If any of yous think forrest beimg out injured is the reason we are so far behind then you are deluded. like johnbhoy says Turnbull would not of progressed as much if Lennon had the choice Forrest would of been in instead of turnbull if fit.

Lennon press conference today he was asked about Liam Shaw he said he can't comment on that interesting sounds like the boy has not signed after all?

Maybe cos he’s not a Celtic player yet 🤷🏼‍♂️ Still under contract with Sheff wed. Normal/ respectful answer from a manager until the player is actually through the door. Well I hope that’s the case anyway 😂.

If he's signed a pre-contract then there's absolutely nothing wrong with speaking about what he might bring when the time comes.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Feb 2021 20:48:08
There is absolutely nothing wrong in lennon saying that Shaw has signed for next season, unless the boy has has changed his mind. There must be a problem if he said he can't comment on his signing. That's just my opinion though.
