If we're talking one dimensional, Kewell only had one foot, but his peak before he left Leeds when he won the PFA young player of the year award was a site to behold. Different era of football of course.

That's like saying Messi is one footed. They both have a dominant left foot but are more than capable with the other. Tommy Rogic springs to mind as a player whose right foot was purely for standing on. Harry also wasn't a bad header.

Yep, one foot, but that pace and the finishing was something to behold - and he scored against England with his right foot! As another poster mentioned, he was decent in the air too.

1 year in the CL group stage since they died 15 or odd years ago.

They are a Europa League club now which giving them credit they have been very decent at lately (not last year though). However they have been very poor in CL qualifiers and the one year in the CL.

If the equation to compare this generation to the golden generation is top 5 or CL club outside top 5 then anyone playing for them definitely isn’t.

Celtic could be debated more but even I would concede we haven’t been in the CL consistently enough over the past 5-10 to be considered as a CL club outside

Agree with you on that and again, why i mentioned Devlin as being debatable.

Rangers still is a large euro club though albeit a europa league club now. Until recently though they did have an elo akin to a lower end prem team, but not atm.

Absolute nonsense. Im a Celtic and Rogic fan and watched most of his games. Scored many goals with his right foot, some outrageous ones in fact - go watch a highlights package. As Decentric pointed out in his analysis previously, Rogic is one pf the few players hes ever seen who could beat a man with the inside and outside of BOTH feet. He was left dominant sure, but was still highly skilled with his oppposite in fact one of the better players in that regard.

Kewell was also decent with his right boot, not sure what ppl are going on about above.

You may be right - TBH I was basing my knowledge of him on his ALM time.

He was constantly shut down in intrasquad games at CCMFC. Then when he returned back to Gosford on a small loan for Victory, CCMFC were outplayed, but Finkler was the ones pulling the strings from memory - not Rogic.

Still was a fan favourite.

So my memories were from a long time ago and coloured by what I saw for and against CCMFC.

I worry the level is a bit high

His ceiling is certainly high enough but if the brilliant play isnt on he still makes some very immature decisions like a backpass that is underhit and intercepted

I'm hoping Sporting is the club that can help him develop his decision making and defensive consistency. They have a good track record polishing elite wingers.
 
It's the best move he could ever take. You are talking about one the greatest production lines for the wingers in the world.

This is what Sporting does they get fast direct wingers and turn them into superstars. He will get to hone his skills against the lower Portuguese teams while testing himself against the best in the CL.

He was sold to Celtic from CCM and then Celtic loaned him to Victory in his 2nd or 3rd season.
