Shon Weissman a players name that has been mentioned repeatedly online. Allegedly we are preparing a 5m bid for the player. I assume Wolfsberger his parent club are hedging there bets on a large sum in relation to Manuss Dabburs move to Sevilla/ Hoffenheim however you want to see it, from Salzburg. We know all about him - and his team mates.

If Weissman continues the run of form he's on he'll be one hell of a player and won't be staying in Austria for too long! Probably taking a chance on this one but, Bayo is expected to leave on Loan or Permanently. I assume Klimala will go out to another Scottish club on Loan?

So that leaves us with Griff and Eddy for rotation, if we are playing 2 up top then we're going to need another striker at least!

He's got a great record. Then again so did Bayo. That's the gamble you have to take though. If he moves to a better level and continues that sort of form then we'd have next to no chance of signing him, he'll be one that got away. So if we moved Bayo on and brought him in then I'd be happy with that.

Correct, Wolfsberger are in a better league, they aren't close to being champions either with rapid vienna etc in there place. It wouldn't surprise me if Salzburg picked him up. He would be a good addition to our squad and seems a more convincing signing the more i look into the stats!

From what I've read he's an option but only if edouard is sold, let's face it but, if edouard does stay then he's most likely going to be playing up top with Griffiths so I can't see us going for someone who will cost millions and be first team straight away.
He's got a cracking record in a better league with a year left on his deal so I think it's definetely worth exploring and sending bayo the other way.
Klimala only signed in January and is finding his feet so will most likely stay as backup and push for a first team place, just hope this isn't another 4m wasted.

As a replacement to Edouard makes the idea a lot less attractive to me. From the footage I've seen he doesn't seem to have anywhere near as much about him. Very much a penalty box striker, which although can be important, and would be great to have alongside somebody like Edouard, I doubt very much he'd be a good replacement.

Totally agree he's definelty not a direct replacement for edouard, he's more of a penalty box striker and we have Griffiths there for that providing he stays fit.
Wouldn't mind us going for him but if the price is right and he can fight it out for a first team place, a goalscorer after all is who will win you games.

Agreed 👍. I think a CB might be a priority this window, that and a GK.

Goalkeeper and a CB are without a doubt priority. We can't go from Forster to inferior keepers back to Forster and then back again to Bain. We need better cover at CB, and that's even if we keep hold of Ajer.

Totally agree, if southampton are willing to play ball then the best case scenario for us would be to get forster on loan for another season then buy him permanently next summer when he has a year left on his deal, I just hope the big man can see how good celtic has been for him and he'll push for this move.
No disrespect to Bain or gordon but they're nowhere near the level we need, Gordon has been a great servant but he's on the downward slope now and Bain for me isn't celtic first team class, it's absolutely paramount we push the boat out to get forster back especially if we're going to try and make inroads in Europe again.

As for centre backs I reckon we need two in regardless if ajer stays or goes, possibly one for decent money to partner jullien and another on loan for cover with simunovic now away. I like ajer and he's still got plenty to learn but he's just way behind on the out and out defensive side which has been our downfall, struggles with positioning and timing most of the time.
If the rumours are true and we get an offer of at least 15m for him I say take it, get forster and a quality centre half in with another one or two for cover.
