Chris Sutton’s Bold Advice
Celtic aficionados are rallying behind midfielder Matt O’Riley, urging him to aim for a top-tier club following Chris Sutton’s advice on social media. The ex-Celtic star suggested O’Riley should aim higher than Brighton, recommending he stay at Parkhead to play in the Champions League unless a more prestigious offer comes along.
Fans and Legends in Unison
Supporters are echoing Sutton’s sentiments, proposing O’Riley could spend another season with Celtic and then consider a move. Frank McAvennie, a former Celtic striker, has previously stated to Football Insider that O’Riley would likely reject a move to a lower-ranked Premier League team.
Rising Interest from Elite Clubs
While Brighton has shown interest in signing O’Riley, he is also on the radar of Leicester and Southampton. However, the recent attention from European clubs like Atalanta and Atletico Madrid keeps the possibility of playing European football on the table for O’Riley. Fans believe that unless it’s a significant step up, staying at Celtic is the better option.
The Lure of Champions League Football
Many fans argue that O’Riley’s opportunities to play at the highest level, particularly in the Champions League, won’t come if he joins Brighton. A successful run in the Champions League with Celtic could open doors to the elite teams. There is a consensus that another year at Celtic would benefit O’Riley, with the potential for his value to increase.
Celtic’s Valuation and O’Riley’s Future
Some fans suggest that if O’Riley were to leave, Celtic should demand a hefty transfer fee, though they would prefer he stays. The sentiment is strong that O’Riley should remain at Celtic to experience Champions League football and potentially win another title, enhancing his career and market value for the future.
