From that post you obviously havent a CLUE about what went on with him at HibsBut don't let that stop your typical sanctimonious celtic crap
PP
What? Because your club would only offer him a one-year contract and he wanted the extra security for his family of a longer deal? Heaven forbid!
Typical sanctimonious Hibee crap. I'd guarantee each and every one of you if in the same position would have done the same thing as Killen., Still, that won't stop the hand-wringing in Leith...

Brown was a joy to watch in the 2nd half yesterday. Definitely heading for world class status in a few years imo.
He certainly appears to have the confidence to go to the very top. The way he took the pis$ out of Miranda in the last ten mins!
I see Alan O Brien was on the bench for Hibs and got a few mins towards the end. Any idea why he pulled out of the Ireland squad?
The dude abides....
The guy is pure class, will be playing in Premiership within 2 years
he'll have his chance to redeem himself in the estadio luz later in october , he has made a great start to the season.
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.

I woke, and found that life was Duty.
That's strange as I thought that Brian Quinn had publicly stated that Celtic were going to remain in the SPL.

Exactly, HE'LL be in Premiership
As I'm sure you well know Celtic turned down a £9m cash offer for Brown from an EPL club, believed to be Everton, on transfer deadline day last week. He could well therefore have been a Premier League player by now but the club turned the offer down without hesitation. Any other offers in the next couple of years will no doubt be treated in the same way.Exactly, HE'LL be in Premiership
In any cae he'll have Champions League football every season and a whole clutch of domestic honours at Celtic. There are only two EPL clubs that can deliver this kind of return and their midfields look full at the moment. Why would he leave for an Everton, Portsmouth or a Tottenham (whose only experience of Europe is the odd Yoofa Vase place) when he can, as a Celtic player, be playing and competing equally against the likes of Manchester United, AC Milan and Barcelona on a regular basis?
Brown is on a five-year deal so it might be a couple of years longer than you think before he is tempted to look elsewhere. He'll learn his trade at Celtic and the potential the club bought at the start of the summer will be turned into class and craft by the superior coaching, facilities and football available to him at his new club. When he goes (finally) it won't be for a penny less than £15m NPV.
Anyway, thanks very much for Brown. See you next summer for Stevenson and Benjelloun...

Stevenson looks like he'll be a top player
Benji definitely has potential, but is a very frustrating player to watch, can be a greedy fooker with the ball. I'd rate Fletcher ahead of him
I don't really follow the SPL so I'm not surprised I've never heard of him. Could anyone tell me a bit more about him?

Does he(Brown) play the holding role or is he an attacking midfielder?
ahem.
He's exactly the same type of player as Roy Keane. He will be a holding midfielder in years to come but right now he's a typical box to box midfielder. Himself and Donati are supposed to share the defensive side and attacking side but Brown seems to be holding back more than Donati in the last few games. He mainly played the holding role against Spartak.
In comparison to Keane, I don't think he's as dominant as Keane but he's more mature. He winds up opponents as much as possible but so far he has controlled his temper and never looks like losing the boil. He technically better than Keane and a more skillful player. In terms of fitness and energy he's up there with Keane too. Nothing fazes him. There have been times in games where he has been quiet, you'd never forget Keane was on the pitch and that's really the only thing that really seperates the two. I watched a Man City v Man Utd match from '93 on ESPN Classic last night and most of the play went through Keane, even then.

brown doesnt exhort the other players to perform better or indeed cane them in the way that roy did , perhaps he will once he fully finds his feet, couldnt ask for more from him at the moment though.

Yeah that's it. Brown's definitely captain material but Keane was born a captain.
Whats the point in showing that quoteahem.

Well to be perfectly honest, Murphy is not Maldini. It is possible that a young player may actually provide some competition for him. If I had the choice I'd take Stevenson without a doubt. He'll be better than Murphy imo.
"Murphy is not Maldini" - Of course not, but trying to compare him with one of the best defenders in the world
Murphy is a class defender, and currently he is a much better option than Lewis Stevenson, Stevenson will eventually take Murphys place, but bringing up a quote from me from last season when Stevenson had just come into the senior team from the youth team is a bit pointless.
