Tom Rogic

[Terminal Boardom]

This transfer saga has a touch of the Tommy Smith's about it. I hope I am wrong.

Poor choice from Rogic, good luck to him though.

No celtic bid yet, but going on mid season training camp in Spain

SUSPENDED Central Coast Mariners attacking midfielder Tomas Rogic will depart Australia on Thursday to link with Scottish heavyweights Glasgow Celtic at their mid-season training camp in Spain.

The ‘Bhoys’ are currently in Spain preparing for the second half of the Scottish Premier League season as well as their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against Italian giants Juventus commencing in February.

Rogic will participate in training as well as sports science and fitness testing with Celtic in Spain, however the Mariners can confirm that no offer has yet been tabled for the recently capped Qantas Socceroo.

Central Coast Mariners General Manager of Football, Lawrie McKinna, said: “This is a great opportunity for Tomas to train with Celtic’s first team squad. Celtic are in their mid-season break and are busy preparing for their Champions League matches against Juventus in February, so Tom will undoubtedly learn a lot from the experience.”

Rogic will re-join his Mariners teammates on Thursday 17 January, two days before he will next be eligible to represent the yellow and navy against Newcastle Jets on Saturday 19 January at Bluetongue Stadium.

My mail is his off to Celtic. Sorry guys would have been an exceptional pick up for you both in the the long and short term.

Does he know that the Scottish League is probably worse than the A-League?

Sure, they are in Europe - but they normally get kicked out early on. (This year excluded)

Oh, and a nice big Fuck You to Craig Moore also. You used to be cool bro, you used to be cool.

Rogic's manager has come out this morning and said that Moore hadn't even spoken to them and the whole thing was fabricated by the press.

SYDNEY, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Promising young Australian midfielder Tom Rogic will take part in a training camp with Scottish club Glasgow Celtic but no offer has been tabled for the 20-year-old, his Central Coast Mariners club said on Wednesday.

Rogic won his first international cap in a friendly against South Korea last November and is rated is one of the most exciting young talents in the A-League.

A three-match suspension for a rash tackle in an A-League match last month will allow him to travel to Spain to join the Scottish champions in mid-season.

"This is a great opportunity for Tomas to train with Celtic's first team squad," said Mariners general manager of football Lawrie McKinna.

"Celtic are in their mid-season break and are busy preparing for their Champions League matches against Juventus in February, so Tom will undoubtedly learn a lot from the experience."

Rogic earned his call-up for the Socceroos after scoring twice in an A-League match against Sydney FC in early November.

"Technically he is very sound but he has that element of creativity, he does the unexpected, which can decide a game and can give a certain flavour to a game," Australia coach Holger Osiek said at the time.

"That is what I like, he is not an average player. Physically he has to mature, his endurance capacity has to improve and his mobility in tight areas needs to get better.

"That will come with time and will be achieved but what you can't achieve is natural talent."

This is all a mess because he's been managed by Andy Bernal, the wànker.

It's got his hands all over it

Poor choice from Rogic, good luck to him though.

He’s probably weighed up the likelihood of his getting games for Reading in the Premier League.

He probably (rightly) feels he will play more in the SPL, as well as perhaps getting the chance to play in the Champions League. Bit of a no-brainer really, compared to the likelihood of being a sub in the Championship next season with Reading.

If he can't get in a Reading Championship team, then I find it highly unlikely he will be playing for Celtic in the CL. Or even the SPL for that matter.

Besides, I'm not saying Reading would be the right choice for him either. He'd probably have been better off going into Europe (Germany/Italy etc.) and playing in a competitive league where the top teams would pay him much more attention.

If what I heard today is right, I think a lot of Reading fans will have reason to be fairly pissed off with whoever was in charge of this negotiation. Without saying too much, the failed transfer had nothing to do with Rogic's decision, this has been used as a cover story by both ends.

[cmonurz]

Time you said more really.

[gezza]

Time you said more really.

Pretty sure I have volunteered plenty of information with this forum from my first post champ.

im no more pissed off that some ozzie bloke decided to go to cekltic over us, than i would have been happy if hed decided to come here tbf
whatever the reasons

[Millsy]

After our fukkup with tommy smith I don't have a lot of faith in the negotiation team.

And I don't give too much of a toss about Rogic. An unknown really, even though he plays well for 70mins in Oz.

Why he'd go to Celtic over us I have no idea.

Screw him.

Back to R&G?

smith went cos someone came in and offered him loads of money that we wouldnt have been able to match at the very last minute
hardly the fault of the negotiation team. the only problem with that tranfer was rodgers talking about it before it was done, in a way that none of the negotiators would have wanted.



& lol at why would he go to celtic over us

[MouldyRoyal]

Plus the Smith debacle was like three years ago.
