Having a think about what players need to go and was wondering what people's thoughts on these were?
Boyata, Ambrose, Commons, Izaguirre, Forrest, CKR, Blackett, Janko, Ciftci and Cole.
Bitton and Johansen can also go to provide extra funds.
I'd keep Mulgrew as a squad player and give Simunovic till January to prove his fitness.
I'd say another 4/ 5 good players and we should have a half decent team.

Agree with all your suggestions JB. One more I would add is Scott Allan! I know he's not had a run of games but to be perfectly honest I never rated him in the first place plus with Christie, Rogic, Henderson (also I would love to see Armstrong in a central position) in similar position I think we should move him on! With one or two quality additions particularly in the striker position I think that's what is required for next season! And s decent manager of course.

I would like to see if janko could get a run in team if he stays injury free.

I would keep Ckr, think he could do a job playing through middle with LG, would keep Allan, is much more creative than the other options in midfield, and would benefit from an extended run, . Am amazed all the more I read about Leicester success, they played 442,don't they know that all the best teams play with one up front, and why weren't they rotating the squad, don't they know that the modern game is much too fast and strenuos and it is not humanly possible to play week in week out, you just have to rotate the team every week.

Hard to argue with any of that Jb. Iceman I'm with you get shot of bitton and johanssen and bring Armstrong into the middle. Really surprised at the lack of game time Christie has had too he may be young but has plenty of mins under his belt playing for ict.

I would keep izzy and ckr and add Allen gms scepovic and fasan.

Aindoh Celtic have played about 50% more matches than Leicester . In 2003 MO'N didn't rotate his players and despite a wonderful squad of players we finished up winning nothing.

But, Oldbhoy, there is rotation and there is rotation, I don't see anything wrong with finding your best team and then allowing them to play together week in and out and letting them form partnerships and develop understandings, and then occasionally resting players, who are getting stale, and dropping ones who lose form, but this rotating positions on masse because it says so on page 95 of the sports science manual is, in my opinion, madness.

A would also let Allen he's not good enough
Mulgrew
Forrest
Izzy
Ambrose
Boyata
Cole
Not sure about CKR yet
Fisher has done well everytime I have seen him but think he will be movin good to.

Correct aindoh. A settled squad should be the basis of the team's rotation. Find your best eleven and then tweak it when you need to. I'd be interested to hear how many times RD has went with the same first team for two or three games in a row, although I appreciate that injuries can play a part in that.
06 May 2016 19:06:16
I forgot all about Stokes, Fisher, Scepovic. Any other useless players out on loa you can think off? Henderson can stay.
07 May 2016 21:46:42
Aindoh, no matter what R D did you condemned him . I suppose u still claim to be a Celtic fan, you certainly cannot claim to be a Celtic supporter.
