    Tony Watt can play. He must have really wondered what was going on - prob thought it was a massive wind up.

    So, if he plays, does he go up the board of Internationals honours at The Valley?

    Funny how as soon as he's playing for wee Gordon's pal Lambert he gets in the squad.

    Will say though that Strachan is bang on with his comment that it's up to Tony how far he goes. There is no doubting his talent just his attitude that's the problem.

    Well, that's a relief, I'd hate for another relic of my youth to be subject to police scrutiny....

    For one game and then out on loan again.

    Came on as sub for Blackburn on Saturday. Within a minute had been fouled while going forward.
    Took the free kick, straight onto a team-mates head.
    Goal.

    Problems with CAFC at the moment:

    We don't play the ball forward.
    We don't win enough attacking free kicks.
    We don't send attacking free-kicks into the danger zone.
    We can't win a header.
    We don't score goals.

    We got rid of him and use Mak/Reza as our main attack.

    Belgians Out !

    Don't forget he shouted at JBG in training and JBG got very upset.

    Spot on! At a club and with a manager who may actually be able to get through that thick skull that there is a talent in there that shouldn't be wasted. Makes you wish that McGhee was our manager!

    “He relies so much on his natural ability that he lets himself down because he can’t go the distance. If you were working with him, I would think you could improve him
    Lack of fitness = Laziness outside of playing time.

    Problem is, if he's not fit he still gets played otherwise it's a wasted investment.

    We have all seen him put a shift in, he's just not a 90 minute man.

    I don't doubt this to be true. With that said I'd rather 5 minutes of Tony than 90 minutes of any other piss-poor striker we have on our books.

    Not alone recently...Astrit!

    Our other issue are the players who don't have his talent...and still don't put the effort in to compensate for that...and those that do have the talent, but don't seem to be arsed, even though obviously fit. A perfect storm!

    Must be great to be paid a full wage but only be fit enough to compete for half of it.

    On his day he can be devastating. If he were fit he'd be a hell of a player.

    But he's a lazy pisshead instead.

    This is the same Scotland that failed to make the Euro Finals comprising of 684 teams.

    The very same Scotland that doesn't have a single player, as far as I'm aware, who plays for a team in the top half of the Premier League.

    And the very same Scotland who, following his his transfer to Aberdeen, are wishing that the Welsh Messi could do a "Ryan Giggs" and change allegiance.

    He contributed more though to the team. He wasn't as divisive as Watt
