‘Would Be Mental’, ‘What a player’ – Lots of Celtic Fans Make Transfer Plea

How do you solve a problem like Olivier Ntcham? That’s something Neil Lennon will be pondering over as the Celtic manager looks to utilise the Frenchman’s obvious talents. The midfielder has started the season from the bench, coming on during all three of Celtic’s games thus far.

However, his ability and talent mean he’s wasted coming from the bench and should probably be a starter. The problem is, Neil Lennon trusts the bhoys that are currently in front of him who are also playing very well. It’s a good problem to have but it’s also going to come to a head.

If Ntcham isn’t seen as a starter, the Frenchman might want to look at a transfer this window with two-years left on his deal. Neil Lennon tried to cram the midfielder into the team early last season and it didn’t work. Lenny would have to drop a Ryan Christie or Scott Brown for it to work and it doesn’t look like the manager wants to do either. It is a long season, and Ntcham might be promised more minutes as we go on.

For these Celtic fans, it would be madness to sell the French star at this juncture:

Can’t be selling Ntcham. What a player.

Ntcham is the most technically gifted player in Scotland by some distance, selling him on the cusp of 10 would be mental https://t.co/6rcz31bWJ0

Ntcham needs to play more, a conundrum for Lenny but what a problem to have. It would be madness to sell him. If he wants to go (as some say), he can do so next season with our blessing, but we need his quality for #10iar HH pic.twitter.com/gjsvqQK4So
