just a thought, I think the squad will be heavily trimmed next season, with several fringe players leaving, so McCourt, Rogne along with misfits Lassad, Miku and a few others, and some going on loan like Watt, Fraser, however because we have done well in the C/L and the squad needs freshened up, but with quality, does anyone think a smaller first team squad, and a change in the wage structure, so a lift in the top wages, to keep the likes of Hooper, Ledley Wanyama, and maybe bring in one or two players on the fringes of EPL teams, rather than wasting money on loans, it would still keep the overall wage budget in place, but with higher wages and a more trimmed squad, we could certainly add better quality, the board really need to sit down and think this thru, so yehh let 7 or 8 players go, free up wages and bring in 3 or 4 and raise the wage structure for the rest of the team

Our squad has struggled to adapt from CL games to League games this season and it's mainly due to Lennon not having faith in the squad players to come in and freshen things up, so I think the idea is good in theory for a smaller squad but realistically it might not be so good. We players Celtic look to buy don't come in on massive wages so if we continue our amazing scouting then we could lose 5, 6 or 7 and bring in 5 or 6 on similar wages.

I'd keep the young players in the squad, especially Watt. I'd also keep McCourt as our mascott. I think Lassad might have more to offer but I wouldn't be too gutted if he went.

No way we'll buy EPL rejects. I'd rather spread the net and try and find the next Victor.

Left back needed for cover, left winger[gms or tonev]physical striker needed and an attacking midfielder.

Isnt that what O'niel did. good first 11 couple of decent subs that he used then youth players.

Every EPL player - even squad players - are on funny money.

The biggest priority is 2 central defenders as there is not a decent one among the squad. Also need to get rid of the dead weight, Rogne, McCourt, Miku, Mulgrew, Ambrose and Wilson.

I honestly wouldn't sell Paddy he is a game changer regardless what anyone says. Lenny wouldn't have kept him around this long if he didn't see something in him? Name another player within the squad that can change a game from the bench get the fans on their feet Paddys a quality act. Totally agree with Rogne Miku and Gershon even The bhoy Lassad he isn't Celtic quality

Sorry but Paddy McCourt is about as far from quality as humanly possible. He's nothing but a glorifiedascot now. He offers nothing to the team. Changes games? When was the last time we were struggling and McCourt came on to save the day? Dead weight. Time was up 2 years ago.
