I know there were a couple of poor decisions but over all very pedestrian and predictable the balance just is' there yet, lot of procession but doing very little with it can't help but think the next two weeks of the window will determine if we reach 9 or not, need an injection of quality to push on someone to come straight in not projects, know it's difficult in January to get players ready made and if it means pushing the boat out then so be it,20 years from now people won't remember we had millions in the bank but in 50 years they will remember 10iar .

Connolly, it's a worry if the balance isn't there yet. What needs to happen to find it? They've had a decent break, some have gone, a couple in . where do we draw the line and say we expect better? HH.

connelly your spot on.3 weeks break and still the same as before. playing players to show they are fit in order to sell them. morgan was 1 example. i hate to say it but we need to adopt the orcs plan. play your best 11 as often as you can and stop squad rotation. build up momentum and push on.

That's the thing with playing 2 up top you lose balance in midfield especially with injuries ect we didn't have the width so it was hard to break down a packed defence trying to play through them.

I am really looking forward to see Soro play for us I don't normally go with what YouTube has on it for a player And I have never heard of him before hand but with that and what NL has said about him he seems to be an exciting player Not sure who he will take over from though? Will it be Brownie?

He did fight for everything on you tube seen that. Possibilities there. Keep believing in our scouts system you can see Lennon trying to get players he wants in. Looking forward to tonight as no excuses as the lads have had a break reenergized and should be at the top of there game. few new lads are having there first training camp so they should all be up to scratch and bread in.
I hear across the pond. have to get rid of a ton of players and no money for new players Celtic are the opposite of we had better not hold back and put them back in there box and not allow this to happen.

Seen on YouTube his best skills and passes, he can certainly thread a pass through.

The way Lennon's talking sounds like we might have to wait a bit.

18 Jan 2020 16:33:23
Is he not just waiting on a visa Kev83.

18 Jan 2020 19:34:55
Don't think kev was talking about the visa green or the deal being done, think Lenny means he's got some work to do before he will be considered for selection.

18 Jan 2020 20:54:57
Exactly SW. Lennon says we SHOULD see him play games this season or something like that. So to me doesn't seem to be fitting straight in.

19 Jan 2020 06:23:30
That's the thing Kev, i understand we are investing for the future with the bhoy but i was really hoping for someone that would push for a place as soon as he came in, not a month or 2 down the line. we never know i suppose, he might come in and be further ahead than Lenny is expecting him to be.

What's the hold to playing soro when all goes through
His last game was the other day he's up to speed he will be training with us he should not be far away when desk goes through. Not sure why Lennon is hedging his bets. Us something off.

New image uploaded to the
Celtic Player Sightings page entitled, Christie suspended, Elhamed & Elyounoussi injured, Ajer & Forrest doubtful. All 5 would start in our best 11, bit thin on the ground.

We are certainly short of choices/ variety considering the winter break was meant to rest and refresh for the run-in.
On top of the injuries (and I have stopped including the invisible Rogic and Simunovic) , we have obviously released a few as well.
It's particularly disappointing to be missing El Hamed and Elyannoussi, who certainly make us a better team; however, we still have just about enough to field a team today lol - and hopefully the new arrivals keep coming to add more quality and beef-up the squad.
