Let's compromise and have him sit in front of the back 4 as a deep lying playmaker, mopping up attacks and spraying balls about the field like Eremenko. You wish. If only we were that lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure this boy will be a lot better in that respect and Celtic fans I've spoken to today have been very positive in their thoughts about him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanEwart Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Ajer was quoted in the paper to-day as saying that Celtic were keen for him to go on loan to a club where he would play as a central defender: "...it was important for me to come here and play as a defender". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 In an unusual move, Kilmarnock haven't given on-loan Celtic youngster Kristoffer Ajer a squad number but the letter "L"! "Kristoffer Ajer is already enjoying a different type of football education at Kilmarnock. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers encouraged the 18-year-old Norwegian to make a loan move to Rugby Park for the second-half of the season and develop as a defender. Ajer played primarily as a midfielder in Norway with Start but was happy to move back with Killie in order to move forward with Celtic. Despite having a fine debut against Hamilton in the William Hill Scottish Cup at Rugby Park last week, the teenager found how much tougher life is away from Parkhead when Accies won with an injury-time penalty. Ahead of the visit of Ross County in the Ladbrokes Premiership on Saturday, Ajer spoke enthusiastically about his new role. He said: 'The gaffer thinks it is good for me to get half a season at centre half which is important for my experience. 'I haven't played there before and he told me half a year here, perform well and we will see in the summer. 'I think it is good to play as a centre-half here, to learn the physical type of game, to get the ball kicked towards you and try to head it and everything around that. 'The first week has been brilliant, just to just learn and experience what you have to do as a centre-half in Scotland. 'Of course it is different types of games every time. When you play for Celtic every team just sits in and goes for a 0-0. 'Here at Kilmarnock they will press you, they will go to win battles against you, so it is good for me. 'Obviously the 1-0 loss was disappointing. But we are only thinking about the Ross County game which we will take three points hopefully. 'As a team we aim to get into the top-six which is the main target.' " (Evening Times) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_dug Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 L for "loan". confirmation that we're pretty much unable to play him in midfield. Which is a shame as he can tackle and pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm1965 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Another economy Measure? Cheaper to use L rather than 50.............................................................................................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Maybe if we use a letter he won't count as a signing when we add them up at the end of the year. 40 is the next target to be achieved. What is more worrying is that we seem to have agreed to play him at centre half even though he has never played there before. Do Celtic have any wingers that need a spell at full-back to develop them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie's Dad Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Don't really care where he plays to be honest. He showed enough quality last week to make me hope that he's better than anyone that should be playing for us. Hopefully that'll continue for the rest of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJout Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Might not of played CB before but he looks a class act again today. Great but of business imo even if we can't play him CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_dug Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Shows an old head too.......dropping the ball over the east stand wall etc to buy time at a county throw. Said for ages we dont do enough of those things. We're too nice. Big man is a smashing player, has a touch of dindeleux about him the way he strides out from the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Absolute class. He strolled through this match and I had to keep reminding myself he is only 18 and is not a natural defender. It was an absolute joy to watch the ball being PASSED forward at last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Thought he was superb today. Best player on the park. His passion was great as well. Often loan players are criticised for having no emotional attachment but the big man celebrated the last two goals like we were his boyhood club and it really meant a lot to him at the end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp3ckyh0td0g81 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 An absolute stroll for him today for a boy of that age he was a class act, should be a midfielder but easily can play at the back great going to ground for a challenge and calm and confident in possession great bit of business 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
