ED007 if our criteria is still signing good hungry young players with talent at decent prices here are two players one of my Celtic pals researched.
Ivan Mocnic (23) currently captain of HNK Rijeka a Croatian team, and I believe he is a pal of Simonivic. Brown is not going to last forever and apparently this guy is strong defensive midfielder.
Mohamed Elyounoussi (21) Molde
my friend raves about this player and I remember him against Celtic.
Already got good european experience and both these players would not break the bank either in terms of transfer fee or wages.

Just read bout them on the celtic blog.
I mind the molde player running riot against us.

Elyounoussi was all over us in that show.

Elyounossi would be a great signing. 2.5 million is what is quoted for him but think some Turkish team (besiktas perhaps) are looking at him. Then it's down to the crazy wages they would offer.

We've already shown interest in both of those players Timalloy. Both look good, particularly Elyounoussi who I've been bangin on about for about a year now, but if we didn't sign him on RD's recommendation, we aren't going to now.

Again Jimtim I agree with u rd wanted elynoussi n park/ lawell gave him ckRichards talk about lack of support n being a forward/ striker who could score goals anywhere he would easily have been a great signing for Rd and us. You have to wonder what the hell they were thinking.
As for signings i would take both of those mentioned and would like to see us go for another striker, Jonathan s would be good however don't know if he's as mobile as we may look for. Finn looked good in Holland but has been mixed elsewhere, Danny Graham I don't fancy as I don't think he can improve us. We need to buy better players than we have but also the club as a whole buying better, extend the wage structure 2 get that better quality of player, midfielder (if we sell or get rid of as many as rumoured) striker and another goalkeeper. Defensively I think if jozo gets fit it's him n big Erik at centre back and I think we're okay in cover with boyata, mulgrew and even Ambrose although if any are moved on then I'd like to see a good centre half come in to push jozo n Erik. Hail hail PS ed001 mentioned EMre mor I think it was who's playing in Denmark just now and is reckoned to be one to watch, haven't checked him out so unsure of position but I wouldn't think players in Scandinavia would be out of our wage bracket.

There must be scores of very good young players for. every position scattered all over Europe . scouts and managers must be spoilt for choice and at the end of the day probably cannot make up their mind . I am sure most clubs buy in some football genius from some exotic football outpost and often have better from within their own ranks . Players bought for reasonably big fees are more likely to be picked than a youngster that came through the ranks.

Each would cost big money but a combination of a fw mid and ch out of these wouldn't be much more than our supposed 15 mill budget . we will also sell and probably recoup much if not all of that outlay.

Both Leicester and Roma had their scouts in the Molde-Sevilla games and i think Elyounoussi will go for more than 2,3 mill.

Elyounoussi might be the best evidence that RD had little if none support come player signings. Hopefully Rodgers will, as it seems.
