Unfortunately for us big jozo has been unlucky with injuries however i am concerned as to the frequency of his absences! To be honest from what I've seen so far i think he is a cracking defender although he does need to improve his play while in possession and passing from the back. Just wondering what everyone elses initial thoughts are of him and if they have been as impressed as me? (Injuries aside)
22 Mar 2016 22:56:58
NI, think Jozo looks comfortable at this level can read a game well and to me seems a confident defender.
Would love to see him and Sviatchenko play in a run of games to see how they develop together and if we potentially have a solid pairing heading into Champs League Quals.
Just hope he doesn't have the same doc as Boerigter!

I'm already worrying Jozo is going to be a sick note? Is this his 3rd spell out now?
23 Mar 2016 14:21:23
Are the injuries similar also?
23 Mar 2016 17:13:29
Give the lad a chance, talk about Celtic fans best in the world and we are down on this player already .

Old boy questioning a players injury proness doesn't mean we're giving him a hard time. I don't hate dirk or think bad thoughts of him as a player but what I do say is he isn't any use to us if he is injured all the time. I and a few others are beginning to worry about jozo and rightly so IMO. He has been injured on 3 separate occasions now so i think that's cause for concern. It's nothing personal. From what I have saw of him he looks a decent player but hopefully he isn't a new dirk or hoiveldt.

Chris nobody here is "down on" Jozo as I see it. Like Jsean I've expressed a desire to see him in the team alongside Sviatchenko going forward. But as far as I'm aware, and may be wrong, he has suffered from a knee problem 3 times this season, and that's concerning when you look at how little he has played.
23 Mar 2016 17:52:24
Actually it may have been his ankle twice and this time his knee. When the Molde player went in late I remember thinking they had deliberately went for his previously bad ankle.

Nobodies down on him old bhoy just genuinely concerned, he does seem injury prone.

Pedri Celt it can 't be easy for a young player to leave his home and family, his home land and friends and travel hundreds of miles. to Scotland where it seems to be winter every day and yet if he reads a Celtic forum he comes across people who know nothing about him, judging him and finding fault.
Great supporters .

Old boy it's you who is putting a judgemental spin on what is being said. Does travelling to Scotland make your hamstrings ping or your ankles roll all of a sudden? I'll support the guy when he's on the pitch and I'll even wish him well in his recovery but regardless of what team in the told you play for if your constantly injured your no use to anyone. I don't know how you can chastise people for saying I hope he isn't another sick note player by claiming that we go against our 'best fans in the world' banding. Plucking negativity from that is pretty petty if you ask me.

Pedro Surely we don't know the boy long enough to decide he is constantly injured.
Even the SMSM would find it hard to describe him as constantly injured despite the injuries he has had in his 6 mths with us . I am pleased you support and encourage him when he is on the pitch playing for us, I would expect that to be the least I would hope from a good Celtic supporter . Give the player a year or two before condemning him as constantly injured .

So far he has been injured almost his entire Celtic career. Nuff said.
26 Mar 2016 19:25:41
Pedro He has played 17/ 18 games, the last 6 or so with an injured knee . Top knee specialist in London has determined quite a serious injury which means he will miss the remainder of this season and maybe part of next season .
I certainly don't see this as a " sick note type of player but a young player determined to play through the pain .
I suppose at the time some of you were ringing the D R and giving out stink about H L not playing with his broken leg . Some of ye would think J Kennedy should still be playing, wasn't it only something wee wrong with his knee
Nuff said.
