I'm hearing that the cup game may be brought forward to Friday evening, has anyone heard anything regarding this.

Think it's been scrapped that idea.

If Elnoussi is available in summer how much would you be willing to pay? Id take him at anything below 6 million.

Ryan

I have seen £5m mentioned although no idea how realistic that is I think they paid £16m? I’d be delighted if we could buy him for £5-6m.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 21:18:53
I would agree Ryan.
Anything around 5M-6M and a good coach will get the best out of him 👌.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 22:41:13
Here’s a question guys. I like Elyounoussi but I’m not sure what his best position is. What are your guys thoughts?

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 23:22:04
He had his best season when he played at Basel in a No:10 role and the guy playing in front of him was Ajeti, the scored a barrel load together.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Apr 2021 10:41:18
I agree Jonbhoy, I think he can play in a few areas of the pitch but a free role/ No.10 behind the striker (s) is probably his best position.

I wonder if the new Coach coming in could get him and Ajeti back to where they were with Basel?

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Apr 2021 15:39:17
He's the best player in Scotland when he's fit and on his game. Hopefully we get him permanently and we build a team around Him Forrest Calmac Soro Welsh and Turnbull. The young lad on loan at Ross County ( a left footed defender) is getting good reviews and a left footed defender is what we badly need so hopefully he makes the grade.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Apr 2021 16:06:50
Pud,
that's nae use to us when we can go out and buy a right footed CB and play him in the wrong position 😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Apr 2021 16:29:51
Think Ely would be a cracking permanent signing for us £6-7 million I reckon is a fair fee and one we know he's worth.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 18:50:24
It's refreshing to be able to post about a good team performance this week. I must say I am more and more impressed with Stephen Welsh with each week that passes. I though he had another terrific game yesterday. Hopefully we can see more of the younger players stepping up and taking their first team opportunities with both hands.

11 Apr 2021 19:48:04
Welsh is taking it in his stride. I'd have him in the team before Julien every day of the week.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 19:52:31
Welsh is coming along nicely Ice Man and I hope he continues to develop establishing himself in the the first team squad in the future.

Also wanted to say that I really enjoyed your observations and experiences as a young professional at Dundee and Hamilton whilst speaking on the Podcast the other day 👍.

Cheers Pedro appreciate that mate. Get yourself involved in the podcast. It would be great to hear other posters views and opinions 👍🏻🍀.

Ice Man

Excellent performance from Celtic yesterday.

The difference playing with two wingers makes eh? I thought Nelly Noosy was excellent from start to finish. Just hope James Forest is fit for the cup game.

Thanks very much for taking part in the podcast last week thoroughly enjoyed it.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 20:30:01
Lads as Ice Man said get yourself on the show. Have your say and talk to us about Celtic. I'm sure JFP would agree with you Ice Man and say it's a great addition to the forum.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 21:35:08
Absolutely JFP. Looked much better with a bit of width, especially with Forrest he adds so much to the team. Fingers crossed he’s fit for the cup game. Appreciate you comments JFP and likewise to yourself. You set the ball rolling with your participation. Enjoyed listening to you and have always enjoyed reading your posts 👍🏻🍀.

Watching eddy yesterday worries me he looked disinterested and his body language was terrible, hus touch was awful and he's
Missing too many chances, ad start him next week but if it's the same stuff he's been delivering ad get the griff on with 30 mins to go and no ajeti.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

11 Apr 2021 12:34:54
He's in holiday mode Mally. He already knows he's guaranteed to go to the U21 Euros or Olympics and with only one season left he knows there will be loads of clubs wanting him.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 12:39:29
Disinterested, poor body language and a bad first touch sums Eddy up this season Mally.

Disgraceful for any professional to act like this, GHTF.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 12:45:35
Eddy has always looked uninterested and no the best body language but when he scores nothing gets said about it but when he's no scoring everyone jumps on it.
Hes a class player but definitely needs a griff up top with him cause I can't see him scoring 20+ every season in england or another top league but he'll get a good goals/ assist combined average.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 12:51:41
Waster.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 13:00:47
Will he's payed to score not mope about with his face tripping him. his work rate is poor as well its a token gesture when he's closing down, he needs a rocket.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 13:29:10
I think that's the nature of French football players, you can go back to Nicholas Anelka whose nickname was Le Sulk.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 14:12:10
Eddy has been off all season. The way the French lads have acted would put me off going for them again. I mean look at ntcham the guy is a disgrace! Him and eddy downed tools long ago and l said that on here a number of times. Also feel other clubs will see that and l think it going to have a big affect on the transfer fee we get for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 14:15:37
I think you are being too hard on him, I think he plays well, he is just missing the chances, all strikers go through these lean periods, his game hasn't been helped by an under performing midfield, the midfield has been the problem for this season and last. I know it will be better next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 14:18:27
He could've had a hattrick yesterday first half was a poor attempt and should've buried it, 2nd half he was denied by a great save and last ditch block.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 14:43:34
Iv been saying it for years about French players and their attitude if they don't get their way. I spoke about on podcast. We should have our scouts look at a different market for players as we will be be going down the same route again if we buy French players again.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 15:03:02
Hahaha - Edouard is playing poor but I’d rather play with no strikers than have that moron Griffiths in the team.

Sooner he is gone the better along with the other so called strikers we have.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 15:25:53
Paul, Dembele and Edouard are probably the 2 best strikers we've had since Larsson so as much as their huffing and puffing can be frustrating, there's some serious talent to be had.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 15:34:40
Agree with you there Paul, these guy's are very fortunate to be getting paid for kicking a ball.

100% in terms of attitude and application in every game is the least we should be looking for.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 15:47:27
If some are happy with what eddy has produced this season then my god our standards have dropped he's been poor, the evidence is there, he's a great player but we need more from him.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 16:34:32
Kev t2 I was meaning a player like griff, no griff himself I've worded that wrong .

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 18:46:26
6-0 win at home and not 1 goal from the strikers.

I just hope next year we get 2 really good strikers in with the 4 we have getting punted and 2 younger players signed to work on.

The Celtic board are opening themselves up to an almighty backlash if they appoint Kennedy or Keane, as neither of them have much support from the fans I know.

The same can be seen on social media with loads of fans wanting kennedy removed from all first team duties.

My personal view is Kennedy has not proven himself as a manager, so appointing him would be a huge risk. If he wants to manage celtic he should leave and cut his teeth at another club. If he shows he has what it takes then by all means consider him at a later date.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

11 Apr 2021 15:48:21
Kennedy will not he appointed. Even our board of ambitionless ditherers wouldn't do that. As soon as they eventually appoint someone, their full focus should be on interviewing for a new board. Every single one of them complicit in allowing Lennon to Remain in post after September, are useless to us if we ever want to fulfil the potential the club has. I take comfort in the go cheap and hope Lawell going. But they all should. They were either party to the decision to not act, or were utter rubbishbags who meekly went along. We need neither. I was initially against Howe getting in h8s D0F, but thinking about the board of shoelookers, could he do any worse than that shower 8n judgement? I don't think that's even possible.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 10:12:28
See dembelles brother scored another 2 goals yesterday.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Apr 2021 12:33:17
Thank you LAW, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only thinking that Lennedy 😅 wasn't Pep in disguise.

Seriously though, this season has been a disaster, fans are fickle (myself included) but we cannot forget what has taken place here, from the board down to the players - utter shambles.

What it has done though is present the board with an opportunity to rip it up and start again.

If they choose Kennedy I'd expect a backlash from a large section of the support because he'd be a cheaper and less experienced option than NL and if we go with Keane, well JFP can articulate opinion on that one far better than I.

We should and I hope are talking to individuals (Coaches) who have the ability, experience and know-how to take Celtic forward and can play the type of football associated with our club. At the same time they will need to do this whilst putting in place a rebuild of the first team - not an easy task.

I fear the longer it takes for an announcement (D. O F/ Coach) to be made the less options we will be left with.

Terry Thomas needs to pull the proverbial oot the hat.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 10:08:54
Hope JK calms down a bit or he'll be left with egg on his coupon, yes we've been the best team in last 2 derbies but the league doesn't lie.

While i agree with him, he should shut his cake hole and let the players do thevtalking on the pitch.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 11:38:05
Nothing wrong with positivity he should be positive it's his job. I want us to be brass and cockey we are gd enough. If he puts out the same team against them we should win. And let's see if rangers as I thought they would be are a one hit wonder. They can go on about the league being the most important but every cup game is important that's the Celtic way. Since the mitigating circumstances helped rangers win the league C.V. the speed the spfl and the rest dealt with Celtic granted due to there own stupidity was shocking and actually quick for them. But when it comes to the rangers they drag there heals the amount of time it's taking them to throw the book at rangers the season will be done. Maybe buzz or @ED007 would know the stats of the days months etc after breaking C.V. rules how long it took the guverning bodies to deal with you C.V. breaches.

11 Apr 2021 12:07:16
A get that Andy but some of our defending at set pieces can't be ignored it's keystone cop stuff, that's a iam saying be confident but keep it in house till after the game.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 12:12:00
Andy,
It took 18 days for the 2 Sevco players disciplinary hearing to be heard back in November.
It was 19 days for the Bolingoli hearing.
27 days for the Aberdeen Eight.
And it took 44 days to hear the latest Sevco players disciplinary hearing.
Because the club shamefully appealed the decision, it will now take the SFA 65 days to conclude their latest breach.

11 Apr 2021 12:36:33
Shocking but not surprising 😒.

11 Apr 2021 13:05:33
Cheers @buzzbomb
Just as I thought it does not add up. Why are the other spfl teams not jumping on this and speaking out maybe that's an easy answer. Don't want banned so my imojes will do the talking 🤬🤬.
Fair point @mallythetally67.

Mally please be true. The Ajax manager would be a dream. Much better than Howe. Have a look at Howes transfer record at Bournemouth. He spent big. Players over 8m generally. He won't get that budget at Parkhead. Think there is definitely better than howe out there. People like ten cat who have won trophies on their own league.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

11 Apr 2021 08:46:10
It's Howe it's a done deal.

@garryowen surely if it was the AJAX manager, it would be all DONE AND DUSTED (I'll get my coat )

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 11:08:34
I find it hard to believe Dermot Desmond would speak to Howe personally which I’m assuming he would to a prospective manager and conclude that he is the man for the Celtic job. His CV doesn’t merit consideration from an experience or achievement perspective and he couldn’t be culturally further removed and will only exacerbate the disconnect. Eddie Howe is not the man for Celtic.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Apr 2021 16:37:59
JFP who is then? What do you mean by culturally further removed? Not Irish? We need to get away from this romantic rubbish. We need A good manager, not an Irish one, or a Celtic minded 9ne unless they can cut it. I can't see any fitting that bill.

Agree0 Disagree0
