Players for the chop this summer?
Bailey
Allan
GMS
Oconnell
Toure ( moved to a coaching role? )
Biton
Don't like saying this name because I think he's a good player but think it might be time for Henderson to move as well.
Any more I have missed?

{Ed007's Note - Ciftci, Kev?}

Bang on ed new there was someone I missed.

{Ed007's Note - Supposedly him and Allan have been told they're free to find new clubs.}

The good thing about guys like Allan and Ciftci coming from Scottish clubs is that they might be open to moves back to their old clubs.

{Ed007's Note - I doubt Utd could afford Ciftci but I'm sure big Pierre will get him something sorted out. As for Allan I don't know where he's going to end up but I reckon it could be his last chance saloon wherever he rolls up.}

Celtic won't do any real business for at least a fortnight till they come back pre season if we are lucky maybe one in before qualifying games start most transfers will be out the way I will be shocked if this does not happen cause that's the Celtic way just now. Cause if it was hard to get players in before it will be even harder now the board thoughts will be that no one has beat us so why do we need to add we won the league with us getting beat but we no been beat this season so why do we need to buy now.

Allen is a mid table to Scottish championship player at best.

{Ed007's Note - I've been saying that since we signed him, Kev. Turns out it was worth the money though just to see the Zombie meltdown about it.}

Also Janko, I posted his stats from his loan move a few months back and its grim reading. Unless of course BR can improve him but would think he is 3rd or 4th choice for right back now.

{Ed007's Note - I forgot about him, yeah there's another one that must be on the way out.}

wonder what will happen with ajer?, not seen a lot of him, will he make the grade Ed?

{Ed007's Note - I think he will be a cracking player but it would probably be better if he spent another year out on loan and playing regularly. He played really well for Kilmarnock from the few times I watched him and what I've read.}

What about Fasan Ed you think his time is up, Thought he looked good pre season but you would think at his age he would have been thrown in by now and haven't heard how is loan deal went. Hearing good things about our youth keepers and that 2 or 3 are very promising.

{Ed007's Note - Fasan's contract is up and there doesn't seem to be a new deal on the table and Conor Hazard seems to be more highly rated by the Club.}

No point in having our most successful season in 50 years and instead of enjoying it we have to give our tuppennce worth, whilst our manager and his staff take a well earned rest . Surely we all need it, and there is plenty of time before our transfer window opens before we advise B R how to prepare for next season .
I hope we don't do like last season and chase one of our better players out . I have little doubt Johannson would have been another star performer if we hadn't made him unwelcome from the start of season 2015/ 16. Surely we must have young players ready to take on a bigger role next season.

Have you seen Scott Allan's Instagram Ed? The guy's on holiday constantly and living the high life while his career goes nowhere.

{Ed007's Note - Nah Kev, I don't have Instagram. Instagram for me meant phoning for a late night delivery when out on the ran dan ;)

I was never a fan of his either ed007.
Was shot down quite a big for backing johansen and Armstrong over him and saying we had sent a better player to hibs on loan in henderson.

{Ed007's Note - Totally agree, Kev. I never knew why we signed him and his Celtic career has went exactly the way I said it would when he signed. Never in a million years was Scott Allan good enough to play for Celtic.}

If we trimmed the squad with the mentioned, Ciftci, GMS, Fasan, Bailly, Toure, Janko, O'Connell, Allen, Biton with Commons and Ambrose off as well that's a job well done and a lot saved on wages. Don't forget Eboue who would be like a new signing to us next season who would come in handy during the qualifiers if he has a decent pre season.

Remember the good old days when Scott Allan was being touted as the Messiah n folk were desperate to have commons in the team, wow changed days indeed. Commons slowed our team down n was too greedy n bar a couple of decent passes Allan showed nothing that made me think he was Celtic class.
The way our 3 behind dembele play is how forwards/ attackers should play i. e. Sinclair rogic n Roberts they can all easily interchange, n swap with the 1 up top, yet people on here claimed Allan couldn't play from the left as if he couldn't move, the 3 in that formation should be interchangeable so u can play from any position on the pitch, not just 1 position because that's where u start the game.
At least now we have the players to play that style!
Hail hail.

might be even worth moving gamboa on with the emergence of young ralston.

I'd keep gamboa for the now, if we get rid of all the previous players we will have done well. Sometimes it's hard to have a clear out, just look at the dross across the city.

People on her have selective memories, how many were saying that GMS and Armstrong were not Celtic class, and were only Dundee united level, and should never have been bought, how many were having a go at Gordon, or saying Griffith's was not the kind of person or player to be allowed to wear the hoops, how many of Ronnie's worshippers still can't see it was Ronnie's total mismanagement of Johansen's injuries and lack of form that ruined his confidence, and was the biggest factor in his wanting to leave.

as for Allan, still think he could have been a big player for Celtic, if Ronnie had given him more of a chance, who knows?, one thing I do know, even though the team is playing well, it still lacks someone with real creativity in midfield, but that kind of player is very hard to find.
