Delighted that we have coughed up for GMS now and think he will be an emmediate and creative impact player for us for the business end of the season. However. is anyone wondering like I am about where Armstrong is likely to play in our midfield.I have been really impressed with him this season at United but don't yet see him as being a huge improvement or obvious replacement for Johansen, Broony too imortant to be rotated and certainly not as creative as Commons in between the lines.I know its a squad game but can't see him starting at the moment.Anyone got any thoughts?

I wondered that too tbh am thinking the left of the front 3 where Stokes & Henderson are playing the now

No need to change the base two of Brown & Biton

So it is there I certainly see him

I am glad that we have got these two very good additions . If one or both don't hit the ground running I wouldn't worry as both are young and may take into next season to really find their Celtic feet . In any case extra competition for places has to be good for the squad.

Yeah which makes complete sense mate but that's also where GMS plays his natural game (as predominantly a left sided attacking wide player) who can also drift inside.Suppose we'll find out what Ronnie's thinking soon enough.

I agree I think GMS is more likely to get in the side first. Just through position though. They're both needed. And will both improve our first team IMO.

Armstrong though should be good competition for Commons in the CAM spot for me. Perhaps even starting ahead of him against Inter? My only thinking is that KC may now be more effective off a bench? Of course, similar to Johansen, he can play anywhere really so is a very good squad player and 1.75m is an absolute steal. We'll give him the platform and we'll be quoting 17.5m in a few years. Honestly mark me down for that one.

But I hope Broony has a chat, shows him that it can be great staying at Celtic. RD's 22 man squad is taking a bit more shape. A few more exits and still for me a bit European pedigree and/or experience in the summer and we'll be going somewhere.

Well done Ed, Bruce, the Dark Knight. Keeping a watchful eye over us keepung us right. You gave me a hint days back saying we'd get the two. Reveal yourself! Still a bit surprised and I hate the waiting game but good business do you reckon?

{Ed007's Note - Thans very much. I'm delighted with the deals we done yesterday.}
