100% agree that Skipp needs to stick around and whilst there is value in PEH then we must realize that.

The hamstring injuries though are down to Ange.
Do you think he's overdoing the training?
Its a diff style of play. More high intensity sprints can lead to hammers being pulled. Its silly to say its anges fault
Also GLC is made of glass..
Gio has been injured for most of the last 5 years. No doubt Ange's style has played a role (as have the many ankle/knee injuries that have put a strain on a small group) but Gio is never going to stay fit. He has had consistent injuries under Poch, Mou, Conte and Ange. He has had injuries at his loan clubs. He will never be a player we can rely on.
Yes, I know but we've had very little info on the details of the injuries he suffered previously. What if all those issues have been treated and fixed and are therefore behind him?
They have been very frustrating, more so than for him personally who missed going to the World Cup and winning the thing, he had nailed down his place in the squad.
Soft tissue injuries are a different beast.
Ange Postecoglou admits his Celtic training demands can bring injuries
Kyogo Furuhashi and Albian Ajeti both limped off with injuries in the win over Real Betis.
There's also a quote from him whilst Spurs manager (but I can't find it) saying the way he trains and the style of play he wants results in a higher propensity of hamstring injuries. They are absolutely on him and he's held his hands up and taken full responsibility.
Absolutely pointless if he is out 80% of the time.
You don't understand thing called "opportunity cost" - when we decide (which the club will not, I assume) to accept to carry a crook around in our squad that means we accept and are satisfied with never having a good and useful player in that spot. We guarantee to ourselves that we waste this spot on a player that can give you 5-6 good + 4-5 "meeh" performances in the season.
While, as you said - we have some depth, then we can take a risk and have youngster here who could turn out to be quality / superstar player. Could also turn out not to develop, in which case we try again with next one. But at least there is hope of having someone who is not unavailable 70-80% of the time and will never be world class.
We need to sell before his value utterly tanks.
He has no cash value to THFC. Barca have no money.
But if he can help us win a game or 2 or 3 then that will do for me.
just get through the rest of this season and sell him with immediate effect.
I get his fans love him I get the whole but he's committed brought into Ange the little Tyke. But the only question that I think is relevant is....why would it change? What would make the next four years regards his availability different to the previous? Especially under THIS COACH? It makes zero sense.
To he honest, if he can hold the fort until Biss, Sarr & Maddison return (depending on where he plays) then he'd have served his purpose, and can go where he likes next season!
Well I mean he's not been able to do that as he's going to miss the United game and maybe more?
And already missed Nottingham Forest game + only came on as late sub vs Everton when we were down to bare bones (starting CM of Skippy-and Sarr)...
Jesus effin christ. Poor chap but he needs to be moved on, we can't be having players who spend more time in sick bay than on the training field for years on end.
Yes, I posted that info a while ago and Angelos must find a solution. There's only so long a team can keep on losing their best players to hamstrings...Ange Postecoglou admits his Celtic training demands can bring injuries
