I’m happy with our lineup and subs.

No excuses with a decent settled side.
I fancy Celtic to win 3-1 and Kyogo to score anytime.
COYBOG 🍀

Once again Happy Birthday Ed 😂.

Obviously not risking Maeda but probably strongest team available, although we need a lot more in certain areas than last week.

04 May 2024 14:25:20
If we get a quick high tempo start everything should fall into place.

02 May 2024 12:21:35
Rumours that Norwich will be looking for £5m for Idah in the summer. That's a no brainer, he's streets ahead of Oh. He's played probably as often as Kyogo and been more effective since he came in. That's not a dig at Kyogo, just pointing out that the "2nd choice" narrative doesn't really ring true now that Ange is gone.

02 May 2024 13:58:11
I think Idah would be a good signing but feel £5m is way over what’s required. I’d offer £2m n Mikey J to test the waters.

02 May 2024 14:36:28
5 mil in today's market is peanuts. get him snapped up.

02 May 2024 14:40:23
Don’t feel we will bite …. Certainly not at the price.

02 May 2024 15:15:30
Respect everybody's opinions but £5m isn't a stretch for me at all. Not for a striker who has shown that he can score goals and offer a different dynamic to Kyogo. He's only just turned 23 so has got a lot of development in him too.

{Ed007's Note - I think there are better players out there than Miovski for £5m but I would take him every day over Kvistgaarden who would cost more and isn't up to much at all imo.}

02 May 2024 16:03:45
I agree Ed IF there was a choice I would take Miovski No slate on Idah he is a decent player and I would not complain if he was here on a permanent contract But Miovski I think would offer us more for around about I guess the same money.

{Ed007's Note - We need to bring in more than one striker this summer, maybe even 3 if Kyogo leaves and I wouldn't mind Idah being part of that mix
Is Miovski good enough to lead the line at a Club the size of Celtic, is he capable of playing and competing at CL level?}

02 May 2024 16:05:10
Kvistgaarden is a weird one Ed. He doesn't have a great scoring record but if the media is anything to go by, you get the impression we're desperate to bring him in. Seems quite Kyogo-ish. Small, fast, good runner.

{Ed007's Note - I think he was a Baby Lawwell target for Ange so hopefully their exits has put a stop to any interest we did have.}

02 May 2024 21:03:13
A think Miovski scored a few in Europe for a poor Aberdeen team this yr Edd. I agree Miovdki snd Idah for me.

{Ed007's Note - Yeah but at what level in Europe? We've seen from TRIFC's recent excursions in Europe the past few years that there is a massive gulf in class between the CL and the EL, they went from beaten EL finalists to the worst ever team in CL history in less than 6 months.
Striker for me is where the Club should and could show their intent, why not break the bank for a new striker, look at the £10 million player market and pay him £50/60k a week to find the team's new talisman.
With the money we have just now and will have if we win the league there is no reason for Celtic not to push the boat out and sign a quality striker, is Miovski the best we can get? Not for me, TC.
We need a new main striker imo, sell Kyogo back to Japan get in THE best our money can get us, bring in Idah as back up (I don't think Miovski would be happy with that role) and then look at someone like a Jamie Vardy - an older striker that would be happy with any game time,being in the CL and a chance of winning some silverware etc to be 3rd choice if/when needed.}

02 May 2024 22:02:20
Spend £10m on transfer n then ure figs of £50k/ w over 3 years = circa approx £18m, who's that player in your opinion that'll take us to next level?

02 May 2024 22:29:08
I think Miovski could do the job no problem, he leads the line for his country at international level he has lead the line for Aberdeen in the Conference league this season and done quite well.

I just think Miovski is one of those guy's who will score goals wherever he plays, the way he plays for Aberdeen against us is perfect for the us playing in Europe. Being able to hold the ball up and take it in or bring others into the play, ok he isn't the quickest out there but he works hard, puts himself about a bit and scores plenty goals. What more do you want in a No. 9?

04 May 2024 00:04:32
I think we need to look at our own record in the Europa league and see what a striker like Miovski might have done for us, although I think the priority for us is to get a European class goalkeeper l, if we had one of those the last few seasons it would have made a big difference to our European results.

That would have been my team ed.

{Ed007's Note - 👍👍Forrest deserves to start.}

28 Apr 2024 14:14:09
Forrest deserves to start and I hope the midfield and defense perform better than last week. In fact, the whole team/ squad need to be at their best from now on.

28 Apr 2024 14:52:31
Forrest definitely deserves his start. Kyogo owes us an away performance personally would have went with Idah today.

{Ed007's Note - Me too DC.}

I don't know how true this is as i don't use a lot of social media
and wanted to ask if anyone has read or heard anything on this, i was Listening to a podcast and they were saying that Brendan had attended a get together with certain season ticket holders and supposedly this has came from 2 separate people that attended the get together.
Brendan was mentioning the signing policy.
What they said was that Brendan had been told by Calmac and Nicolson that the signing policy had changed and a lot of the signings were at very advanced stage and that he had trusted what he was told and gave the OK to the Yang, Lager and Rocky signings.
The also mentioned that Brendan has been given more control of all Football matters and that the "only sign player under 23 and under £3m" has been scrapped and we are looking at players in the £5-£6m bracket. I know it's not a major jump but we did get Jota and CCV for £6m and if we get 4 or 5 players of that quality, it would make a big difference to our squad
As I said I haven't read anything else on this so maybe someone else can confirm.

26 Apr 2024 19:41:43
Jonbhoy 71 . I have no doubt that your post is accurate and plans are afoot to sign some players at a slightly higher price than recently . What I don’t expect is Celtic. Football club to really embark on a spending spree and spend about £40 on 7/ 8 players in the summer window . Maybe a bit over half of that on about
4/ 5 players .
Why I think our spending will be nearer £20m is that we have removed M L and his sidekick and not replaced them and we are now in last week of April .
If we are going to spend high with these positions vacant, then why would we fill them in future .
Nothing to do with your post Jonbhoy71 but I think just like the past few years there has been far too many posts between windows linking us with far too many players that are valued far exceeding our normal price range . These posts give us inflated expectations of what we can expect to buy during window and our disappointment is all the greater when we come up far short.

{Ed007's Note - I've also heard and read that Rodgers told the investors meeting that Palma doesn’t fit into his system or his style of play and doesn’t really have the skill-set he looks for in a wide player.
Lagerbielke has never impressed in training and that Nawrocki - who was actually only brought in as a squad player to back-up CCV & Starfelt - is never fully fit, no matter what the coaches do with him.}

26 Apr 2024 23:21:02
Wee des.
Like I said, I hadn't heard or read anything regarding my post before and just listened to a podcast today where they were discussing it.
If you want to listen for yourself its from (ACSOM - The big decisions facing Brendan Rodgers ahead of trip to Dundee) .
You can get it on youtube. They said on the podcast that 2 sperate people who attended the meeting put the details on Whatsapp and other platforms
Going from ED's comments regarding the investors meeting, It sounds like the same meeting they guys on the podcast were discussing.
I also never mentioned spending £40+m 7/ 8 players in my post, I did say IF we get 4 or 5 in the £5-6m bracket it would make a huge diffrence.
Also, maybe the reason Baby Lawwel and his sidekick hasn't been replaced yet is because as my post does say, Rogers has been given assurences that HE has been given more control of ALL football matters.

{Ed007's Note - I was thinking about this earlier, Jon, could it be that our future Head of Recruitment and his team, maybe a DOF or Sporting Director be at another club that don't want them to leave until the end of the season or contractually they can't leave until then?
They could still be working on deals for Celtic and hopefully we are already at the talking to agent stage of at least some deals that Rodgers wants done which won't need any 3rd party input.}

26 Apr 2024 23:27:14
Cheers ED for the confirmation of the meeting.

{Ed007's Note - 👍👍

27 Apr 2024 11:42:17
Hopefully there is some substance to this rumour but we hear this every window and nothing really changes.

27 Apr 2024 10:32:29
Ed if we have not identified the players for the summer, sounded them out and tried to initiate talks then we are due to repeat the previous two windows.

I expect a goal keeper, striker, winger and left back brought in quickly as soon as the window opens.

If the board don't don't do that they are going to be under major pressure for the whole window.

{Ed007's Note - I'm hoping that there are players lined up that don't require any scouting, oven-ready players Brendan Rodgers has identified and then it's up to Michael Nicholson to negotiate.}

27 Apr 2024 01:10:32
It could be ED as we can't wait until the end of the season before we start negotiating for players
I'm just really hoping to get the appointment right and whoever we bring in is allowed to do his job without interference from anyone else at the club.
If Celtic want to be looked upon as a big club, we have to start acting like one and get away from the Jobs for the boys structure that we seem to have at the moment.
On that subject ED, Do you know if Ross Desmond is having anymore input in the club.

{Ed007's Note - I don't know how much input or influence he has without speaking things over with his dad but I have thought for a while that if the rumoured board shake up in the summer does happen then Ross Desmond will be appointed to the board.}

27 Apr 2024 15:06:34
Hopefully there will be a clear out with Yang, Oh, Kobiashi, lagerbielke, Nawrocki and Palma to name a few.

On loan players can be added to that list.

28 Apr 2024 11:48:02
That is what might cost us the league this season, Brendan persisting with his system and his style of play, instead of, the moment he came in, utilising the system and style of play that Ange had drilled into the players heads.
