Look at the TWO teams we put out today packed full of talent and obviously changed an entire team @ HT

This is another ELEVEN that NEVER featured today

Gordon - Gamboa, Lustig, Boyata - Benyu, Biton, Rogic, Morgan, Hayes - Griffiths, Aithchinson

SEVEN full internationals (Y)

We're in great shape 2 more please.

I was just speaking to a friend about the game today, and I think the 2nd half team would definitely finish in the top 6, but the 1st team today were good, the French connection and mcgregor outstanding, hopefully if we qualify for CL, we get a decent group, think we will do ok 👍.

Agree1 Disagree1

14 Jul 2018 22:22:51
Totally agree Jamie, the talent we have at our club is the best since the early 2000's, the difference is this squad are so young and can only get better. The 3 Frenchmen are top notch and must always be starters, we must find a way to play Edouard and Dembele at the same time, you can't leave talent like that warming the bench. Would be difficult to leave out Brown, McGregor, Tierney or Forrest . Ajer is starting to become un-droppable also, so that leaves only 2 outfield places left which I believe could be strengthened. Personally I prefer Simo to Boyota and love Lustig but feel we could get better. Now the good bit Sinclair, Griffiths, Rogic (how can you leave out Tam) 🤔 Young Morgan, Biton, Hendry, Ralston and Mikey Johnstone (What a talent) loved his dink finish today, are all more than capable of coming in and doing a job. Anyone got any fear that 8 won't be delivered 😂😂🤣🤣.

Agree2 Disagree1

14 Jul 2018 23:09:39
Don't want to put the hoodoo on things, but this is one of the best planned and executed pre-seasons (including a difficult away qualifying tie) I can remember for many a year.
The squad looks sharp, harmonious and confident and there are still a few players to return - or added in the next few weeks.
I honestly don't give a flying feck what the gutter press and the deluded hordes profess about Sevco Steve and his tribute act.
The undisputable fact is we are light years ahead in class, skill, professionalism, experience, talent and potential of anyone els.

14 Jul 2018 23:19:38
Hey Jamie very good point no need to scream from the heavens about signings then tho I am sure a couple will come in.
Any idea why Morgan not played I looking forward to seeing him play.

What a wonderful day . First our pitch looked brilliant and if plays like that all season I think we will be unplayable . All our players seemed at ease passing the ball quickly and acurately .
I think we have seen how to play our two strikers and their understanding will only get better . The second team were very good going forward with their movement and passing .
I imagine Lewis Morgan has picked up a wee knock in training, no mystery .
Of course we want McGinn and one or two others but that's when Brendan Rodgers real problems will begin, too many top footballers for too few places, at least until we get injuries suspensions and loss of form . We seem to have a very united squad with everyone getting on, but when good players are not getting played regularly they can be troublesome .

I would like to see these players moved on with another CB and RB brought in.

Hendry
Gamboa
Hayes
Allan
de Vries
Benyu (loan)
Miller (loan)

Believable1 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2018 17:58:55
Hendry is going no where.

Agree2 Disagree3

14 Jul 2018 18:43:55
Fine with the rest but Hendry has hardly been given a chance. He’s still young and learning, he’ll come good I’m sure.

Agree2 Disagree0

14 Jul 2018 19:04:33
In:

Danny Ward
Fabian Schar
John McGinn
Harry Wilson (loan)

Out:

Gordon
Simunovic
Bitton
Gamboa
Hayes
Allan
De Vries
Benyu (loan)
Compper
Hazard (loan)

That would be my ideal transfer window.

14 Jul 2018 19:32:27
I hope he does but I have my doubts.

14 Jul 2018 21:55:07
A like Hendry boy needs time think there's a player there.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I think we've found out one thing about Hendry, he isn't a RB.}

14 Jul 2018 23:09:31
100% ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - The lad takes a lot of unwarranted abuse imo but he'll be a solid enough CB for us in Scotland.}

14 Jul 2018 23:22:10
Think u can add Christie to that he has no chance of playing.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2018 23:57:05
Got to agree, Hendry is worse than a man down. He will not cut the mustard. Defensively he gets caught out of position and is not that fast.

Agree0 Disagree1

15 Jul 2018 00:36:56
He's young and confident it's a recipe for mistakes but I've no doubt that he can be coached to pick his moments to take a wander into midfield. Once he does he can be a solid defender.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jul 2018 00:26:27
Always the same now ed. Player gets played out of position and struggles a bit and the fans just right them off.
Same thing happened to both McGregor and Armstrong.
Celtic fans don't seem to have any patience anymore.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jul 2018 01:25:54
IT would be madness to sell or move Hendry, he is playing quite well out of position
If we believe that Brendan Rodgers improved most of our players why can he not improve Jack .
Besides Jack hasn't got near enough abuse to completely. Destroy his confidence

Let me also say, I would want Allan to stay as I can see him opening up tiring defences in the last quarter . He could be vital for us with his very incisive pass .

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jul 2018 09:20:06
I'm not going to give Hendry abuse. The reason I would punt him is we have an excess of cbs.

Ajer
Boyata
Simunovic
Hendry
Compper
Bitton

However I would like us to sign another to improve our team and I can't see that happening without selling someone and I think Hendry is the worst out of this group.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jul 2018 11:34:39
Compper will leave before hendry does, ed did u not say compper is going back to Germany this window.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - His agent has been trying to drum up interest in Compper but I don't know know if anyone's bit yet.}

14 Jul 2018 17:29:11

I've said it before and I'll say it again that Mikey Johnson is going to be a star!

Believable4 Unbelievable0

14 Jul 2018 17:20:47
He certainly has bags of talent. My only concern with him is he is very light weight at the moment and could do with bulking up.

The games he played last season in the first team he got brushed off the ball too easily.

All that being said I wouldn't mind seeing him have a wee run out this season to see how he copes.

Agree2 Disagree1

14 Jul 2018 17:34:31
He’s too skinny. Definitely needs to bulk up before he will be considered for a run in the team. Loads of ability.

Agree1 Disagree2

14 Jul 2018 19:35:38
Kt bulked up mj should just have a chat with him.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Jul 2018 01:28:28
There is a wee skinny boy Modric playing for Croatia tomorrow in quite an important game . He was chased from a crowd of clubs because he was too small and light.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Were so far superior to Liege in the first half. Dembele looked really sharp. Second half obviously making 11 subs and a lot of youth. Still looked good though and some good showings. 4 good finishes too. Especially Edouard.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2018 16:16:38
i know its very early in our season but the team looks verry hungry. the two boys up front look like there going to run riot this season. only concern is defence .

Believable3 Unbelievable2

14 Jul 2018 16:58:47
Every game they a lookin more deadly. Eddys goal was a peach but the link up play between MD and Eddy just before where MD skelped the bar was a thing of beauty. I hope we do sign 1/ 2 to freshen up but if not we have a whole new variable to us this season with they two up top.

Agree1 Disagree1

15 Jul 2018 08:08:54
Hate to say it but almost looks like a new team. The French connection all playing together has proved deadly. CalMac, Forrest scoring and we still have players away at WC. Look at who have not even featured. Griff, Rogic, etc. Obviously the defence was an issue last season but style of play seems to have changed. Looking forward to 8iar.

IF Edouard keeps his form up, we have 2 20mil + strikers. Wow. Well done PL, BR and Celtic!

{Ed007's Note - That opening goal was a peach.}

14 Jul 2018 16:08:56
Really impressive first half

This 2nd half team shows we need first team player level signings

Still disappointed that BR is insisting Calvin Miller play at left back - I was really looking forward to seeing him shine further up the pitch.

Agree1 Disagree1

14 Jul 2018 15:39:16
Play this 3 at the back system against a half decent team we will lose goals.

3 predominantly green tops and having to wear the pink thing v hibs doesn't seem like a good idea
Unless you mean the 1 good idea which was last season's home top.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jul 2018 12:47:04
I thought the home and away tops were both very nice. The fact they were both green was daft but two really nice kits, especially the home one. One thing I like about the new kit is the hooped socks because it reminds me of the 3 amigos.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2018 12:58:05
Its a shocker, more colours that have nothing to do with Celtic, like they pink and black strips, green and white are our colours, we wear green for a reason.

Glasgow branch, biggest and most successfull shop, in build yor own Bear"s in the world, apparently! .

Although, I heard there were a lot of bear builder"s who were very upset, that new orange top was not yet available.

Buy one for the price of two was a big hit for the really deluded bear builders.

{Ed007's Note - I can't realistically put a time scale on when things will happen but it will happen.}

14 Jul 2018 14:14:00
I wouldn't be that fussed if we didn't sign him. Another midfielder that we really don't need. Rather find another centre back left back or a quality keeper. who do we drop to play McGinn. Its never Brown or N'tcham. Prefer McGregor or Rogic at number 10 so is he there when Brown leaves because right now Brown is a better player.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2018 14:29:07
Johnny we'll play over 60 games this season the words rest wee callums a good example last season was he dropped or rested.

{Ed007's Note - Stuart Armstrong made 42 appearances for us last season so there's plenty of available game time.}
