Reading on dutch website that the Ajax game was Finnbogason's last goals for the club with celtic fave's to sign him. Hope its true.

Its on espn website that it could be villa m8 no sure where your reading it but just had a good browse and that all a could find hope am wrong and your rite!!

Well if he goes to Villa that's what we get for dragging our heels

Well today's papers put that one to bed because Lennon has decided to go for the cheaper option of Teemu Pukki and am not happy with this at all god knows who his other signing will be it's a midfielder going with the papers I hope it's Pablo Piatti but it's Lennon we're talking about it's probibly willo flood!

I'm really hoping its the Finn we've signed. We keep getting 'squad players' such as your man from wolves and to a certain degree balde. We need real quality to come in and lift this team from the mediocrity we are seeing these past few games. let's not kid ourselves we were lucky against Ross county as well as the draw yesterday and the aberration that was shaktar.

I have visions of rankers back in the premiership in two years with the gap closed on us rather than widened as you would have expected a year ago. That would be bad business.

I'm sorry do you ever read your posts. Rangers won't be or ever will be near because there business model is burst.

He's signing for Villa

I think they're referring to on pitch, we should be widening the distance between us and all Scottish clubs, instead we're narrowing it - on pitch!

Andres Tunez expected to sign on Monday.

Get him signed up cause we are screaming out for a left sided centre half. van dijk has shown signs that he is quality but moyokolo looks like a player who has been released by a team relegated from the english championship. pish. van dijk needs a competent partner and to be playing in his natural position. **** this 2 right sided CB's. let's get a bit of experience at the back to help van dijk. all the top clubs have 30+'s at the back

And yes I know he's only 26. but let's get some experience in.

Rather get Cani to be honest, but agree definitely need experience to help Virgil agree again Virgil will come on with a good quality c/b beside him, look at Toure at Liverpool last night I know Celtic couldn't afford a guy like this wages but just saying for example how experience at the back pays off

Izzy to Everton?
j88

He can go as far as I'm concerned he is not even a shadow of the player he was in his first season.

Not on today's showing mate, he couldn't pass wind!

Good luck to him we should have sold him last year before he broke his leg, he just doesn't defend we'll enough for me, all of the defenders we've had over the last few years can't have been haddys, Forster is a nightmare, a man that size should command the whole of the penalty area, he obviously doesn't leading to mayhem in front of him, sell him too, good luck to kenny miller put some shift in for us, he was gutted when he was sold bopped benfica single handedly to put us through to the last 16 under strachan

I'll drive him down myself F.O.C, absolutely useless can't defend and can't cross a ball when he goes forward, he only gets a place every week because we don't have another left back, and nobody say Charlie because he can't defend neither. Stevie

I disagree Izzy was one of our players that showed up today. Was a constant threat down the wing when Lenny observed we had no width, brought Charlie back to a three centre defence pushing the fullbacks on.

Most of our chances come from Izaguirre! He puts in a lot of crosses, just because every one doesn't end up as an assist doesn't mean he's a poor crosser! He assisted Mulgrew's goal today and and Commons's against Elfsborg.

Emilio izzagurie celtic loves you more than you will knowwww ohhhhh

Indeed - in the absence of route one, all we have at the minute is speedy emilio whippin in those crosses. Let him leave at our peril - & he's still awful young. His appreciation for Celtic is obvious - like brown, Zaluska, Sammi, Joe

You guys need to wake up. He's one of the best players we have. Up and down that wing constantly. It's other lazy buggers in the team we should be worried about.

Mark

Hope so, the guy is rotten,

EOJBHOY

I agree his crossing was poor but he was the only threat we had today until Matthews moved up one. We were far too narrow and Izzy was the only outlet. If you watch it is amazing how many times he gets the ball for being a left back. Keep him or we will be a route 1 team. Victorsgonnaegetyou.

Sell him now! We can draft in a better replacement at short notice - Tommy Gemmell maybe, that's how much Izzy contributes to the team, unless losing the ball & causing supporter coronaries are part of the gig. :-]

What game you bhoys watching.? Our best player.? Cough man. He is pi55 poor and never finds a man even though he has about 30 crosses a game . Shocking

{Ed007's Note - Celtic starting XI: Forster; Matthews, Ambrose, Van Dijk, Izaguirre; Brown, Kayal, Rogic, Mulgrew; Amido, Watt

Subs: Zaluska, Ledley, Mouyokolo, Lustig, Atajic, McGeouch, Henderson

Neil Lennon needs to be consistent with his CB pairing ~ Mrs E

Looks good. 4-4-2 with two young fast strikers.
Good to see effe back in defence linking up with the new guy.

I know we have injuries and a huge game on Wednesday, but I agree with Mrs E and cannot understand the chopping and changing in the back four every week.
When you lose arguably your best defender (Wilson) it is paramount that you organise and stick with a settled defence.
I sometimes worry about how Lennon picks his teams and why Mulgrew is played out of position time and time again - to no effect!

Its a lottery every matchday waiting on the team being announced JJ ~ Mrs E

Can someone please tell me why stokes is not getting picked. Is he injured? Nick the tic 82

Nick the tic He's injured man and to be honest with you it really doe's not bother me wether he play's, man is not a team player, more of a glory hunter, just look at how many time's he shoot's for goal when he has no chance of scoring, when it would be better to pass to a team mate, watch him
