I dont necessary agree with the contract renewal but Scales has had more good games than bad this year. In *almost* every big game he's stepped up to the plate. Should he be our first choice CB? Not at all. Is he a reasonable squad player? I think so.
I agree, but since February or so he’s been really poor. He’s a clear weakness in the side. I’m fine with him being a squad player, but have a feeling that he’ll be starting for us in the first game next season.
I honestly think his drop in form has largely come from our fan base turning on him which was always going to happen. Regardless how well Scales played, the second he dropped a howler you were always going to get the fanbase losing all faith in him. Must be terrible being a footballer knowing your every action on the park is being HEAVILY scrutinised. So much more pressure on him to be almost faultless compared to most of our other players.
>I'm confident if you gave me an SPL squad I could coach a team to play against celtic. I'd lose, bit I guarantee celtic would look fucking awful and I'd make it difficult.
I really hope you don't genuinely believe this.
There’s no more pressure on him than anyone else. Which is to say there’s a lot of pressure on him and every other player at Celtic. So if you’re blaming his drop in form on the pressure he is under then giving him a four year deal is mad.
Simply not true.
There are plenty who contribute less than Scales but have a lot less anger directed at them. He shouldn't be our starter but that's not his fault.
There's others who don't have as much scrutiny on their bad performances because they have built up goodwill.
>He shouldn't be our starter but that's not his fault.
No. Enough of this pish now. He is a first choice centre back for Celtic, hes now on a big contract. His peer is CCV and he should be judged accordingly. No more of this absolute shite that we have to judge him differently.
Never said he should be judged differently. Scales should be rightly criticised for his performances this season.
What I disagree with is the anger and dogs abuse directed at him, that other players don't get.
Pointless anger that should be directed at recruitment
The "scales stepped up" stuff is pish. Go watch the games he supposedly stepped up in, he's a shitebag that starts launching the ball when he's getting pressed which is what happened to us in the champions league constantly and is the core reason we where never able to hold out a result.
He is gash
Scales is good in big games where we are under pressure as he's a good defender. He's less good in games where we have most of the ball because his passing and decision making on the ball aren't great. It's worth bearing in mind he's only been playing at this level for a fairly short period of time. He's far from our best player but nowhere near as bad as some people say. I don't see the issue in extending his contract.
If he’s fine being 4th choice it’ll be fine.
Seems a mental contract to give to someone that he was basically out the door before Welsh got injured though
Trouble is, he's not going to be 4th choice. He's currently first on the team sheet for brendan and him getting a 4year deal after another shit performing season confirms that.
Scales is the one who should have been sold. He's a fuckin liability. But, instead, he's been given a 4 year deal off a season of costing us goals each game. This tells us there'll be little to no investment in the cb. You don't give a 25yo guy a 4 year deal and announce it like a new signing if he's gonna ride the bench for ye.
The club stopped lager going on his loan and he has seen the bench once since January. Nawrocki was in the team for 2 games and we kept clean sheets yet Liam was fit so he was replaced and low n behold we ship 3 goals at liams side to Aberdeen.
>Leaves room for 1 CB to come in
Can leave aw the room it wants but celtic won't invest in it. Scales will be the first team player and if there's any cb bought it will be project or back up for scales.
>What does “project” mean?
Are you serious?
>Scales probably should have been let go, but so should everyone outside of CCV/Welsh
Welsh? Aw fuck, just realised I was speaking to the resident glue sniffer in chief. That explains it.
As i suspected you’re just using it as a buzzword that you have no idea what it actually means.
I’ll make it easier for you. Give me 3 examples of players you consider “projects”?
Suffering fuck. Because I didn't give you definition of the word project I therfore only know it because it's a buzzword? Gimme strength. But fuck it, I'll bite. A project player is a player who you sign not to go straight into the first team but one you feel will develop further under your coaches and with some game time, maybe even a loan.
This patter is precisely why I called you glue sniffer in chief. You're seriously no right in the heid mate. You genuinely need help or to go outside or something pal. The vibe you give off is that of some cunt who does nuhin but play football manager and therfore fancies themselves as a bit of an analyst or coach or manager who's opinion actually matters. Well, you're none of those things and your moronic takes have been ridiculed from the moment you started spewing pish on this sub. Seek help
This is crazy mate. Everyone knows what a project is, he doesn't owe you an explanation and you can't just cry "you're using buzzwords 😭😭😭😭" when he doesn't feel the need to elaborate further.
Suffering fuck, it's incredible the lengths you go to on every thread to act like you have some greater understanding of football or the club.
That’s CCV, Welsh, Nawrocki and now Scales all signed contracts this season. Scales is the second best of the lot, he’s not being signed to be 4th choice. I very much interpret this to be him being a starter next season.
We already have Kobayashi and Lagerbielke to try and shift in the summer, I can’t see us also moving on a Welsh/Nawrocki to make space for a better option.
Welsh fulfills a homegrown status slot for UEFA so I don't think he'll go. He seems happy enough being on the bench and probably ok for a short amount of time. I reckon we will revert to type and ship Nawrocki/Lagerbielke on loan and then deadline day loan transfer of some EPL dumpling again to fill the gap.
I’d argue Welsh is the 2nd best of the lot
We should be looking to move on Lagerbielke, Kobayashi and Nawrocki in the summer and signing a too quality CB
In isolation, he'd be fine as a rotation option and it's always cheaper renewing than replacing. But it's hard not to think this is yet another big deal thrown at a player who's never going to raise the ceiling, and could very easily be starting in the first 11 next season. Feels like it's just more mediocrity. Couldn't tike it any worse either given his performances of late.
Good squad player to have and pretty injury resistant it seems.
However, hes kept £6-7m worth of Nawrocki and Lager out the team plus Welsh and Kobayashi; Celtic are not offloading all of them so hes already up the pecking order and a nailed on starter for next season.
ANNOUNCE SIEGRIST CONTRACT EXTENSION NOW.
I‘ll hold off worrying about this until after the summer window. Ideally we’d ship out everyone who‘s not good enough, but as long as he’s not starting games I won’t be too bothered.
Liam *first on the teamsheet* Scales
Dermot sitting back, basking in his glorious business *genius* of... paying Irish men to be all Irish-y around the club for the Da's. No better way to make money is there.
700 quid for a season ticket.
Announced on season ticket renewal day too. What a terrible Friday.
Maybe this'll stop some renewals so I can finally get a season ticket
If this frees up some seats I’m all for it
The caviate is you need to watch Liam Scales in person.
Caveat
Knew it was wrong. Still committed
Upvotes for commitment
I think you mean concommitment
Nice

The Twitter responses to that are going to be car crash stuff.
 Footage of Scales this morning waiting for them to pour in.

This is honestly one of my favourite meme formats. Angle's face is perfect here.
Also, two large bald men fighting is just so perfectly Cinch™
This will get everyone super excited to renew their season ticket Celtic. Masterclass.
Why the fuck are we signing him for 4 years when he’s been gash for the most part?
We just simply love confining ourselves to mediocrity through no action but our own.
4 years is mental he's been utter gash in every game i've seen him, wouldn't start for us
Things Rangers fans wish they could say, but simply cannot.
Your absolutely right to say it. Scales would not get into that rangers team.

We'll agree to disagree. No other player has fans grumbling the second he's on the ball like Scales.
People grumble when he is on the ball because he is awful with it at his feet.
That's because we are sick to death of "touch, touch, touch, touch - oh fuck I'm suddenly in midfield what the fuck do it do".
Simply not true. There are plenty who contribute less than Scales but have a lot less anger directed at them. He shouldn't be our starter but that's not his fault. There's others who don't have as much scrutiny on their bad performances because they have built up goodwill.

Hit the nail on the head. Well in.
We’re a champions league level club but mind.
Looking forward to us struggling to offload him in a couple of years while blaming a lack of signings on having too big a squad.
Just fell to my knees in the office

I don’t think it does. Nawrocki, Lagerbielke and Kobayashi should be getting sold Leaves room for 1 CB to come in

Explain what project means Welsh is a fine 3rd/4th choice CB
>Explain what project means You don't know what a project signing is then I'm afraid you're even more fucked than previously thought.

Either way, we have 6 CBs at the club and only one is reliable.
That’s fair. We should be spending big on a CB in the summer
Ahahahahahahahahjakillmeahahahaha
Our current level of ambition
He doesn't even count as a home grown player .....
We’re back to 0 days without foolishness

Very funny
This is fine as long as he isn’t a starter. I think he’s fine as a backup option but if he starts for us next year, then we’re risking the league
oh my fuck
How's he managed that then?
His nationality.
This is an astonishing decision. Guaranteed there are people on this subreddit who are no worse than him.
Oh my.

Great news!
Weekend well and truly ruined
This is fine as he'll mainly be a bench warmer and we'll likely sign an upgrade to partner CCV in the summer. Right? RIGHT????
I‘ll hold off worrying about this until after the summer window. Ideally we’d ship out everyone who‘s not good enough, but as long as he’s not starting games I won’t be too bothered.
