Scottish “Premier” League is level with MLS, except for two teams, both from Glasgow. If you don’t know, you better axe somebody! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Firm It's wonderful that those 2 teams are so highly regarded. However, if the rest of the league = MLS, then the competition is no better than MLS except perhaps when those teams play each other. Personally, I'm not excited about Wil Trapp potentially going to Celtic. Edited January 11, 2019 by Zip_ME87 2 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 Celtic is almost always involved in European competitions. Even in league competition, Trapp would get greater exposure to EPL teams, for his next jump. Playing for Hearts or Motherwell or Randers is not the same as playing for Celtic or Rangers. As attractive as the Trapp/Porter reunion would be, Wil must strongly consider an opportunity to join Celtic. He is ready. Nagbe may have missed his window. I reiterate: Every Soccer conversation (I have) is implicitly about United States lifting the World Cup. Period. Quote
ZipsVoice Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Of the Scottish teams Celtic would be THE team to be on. He’d see time in UEFA Champion’s League or Europa League every season there, based on their form. But it my take a season to break into the starting 11. You know, I thought that’s what. you meant f-lobo. And I whole heartedly agree. Still pretty high level. Thanks! Edited January 11, 2019 by ZipsVoice Quote
fknbuflobo Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 The money has to be right for Wil Trapp to make that jump. Not just any deal; it must be a really good one. He would surely flourish under Caleb Porter. No doubt about that. But Wil Trapp will not become all he can be by playing out his career in Columbus. Quote

Wil is not a free agent. He has a contract with the Crew which was recently signed. His going to Celtic is a Columbus Crew/Celtic decision. (Transfer fee $$$) @fknbuflobo & @ZipsVoice you both hit the keys that for this to be good for Wil, he has to get into the starting 11, and be involved in competitions beyond the Scottish Premiership. 1 Quote
fknbuflobo Posted January 11, 2019 Report Posted January 11, 2019 Good point. I keep forgetting that Wil is still in contract. Surely both Crew and Celtic will seek Trapp’s consent on this deal, even if neither is legally obligated to do so. Quote
