Cheers for the update Ed; Wishing you all the best Tim. Use the close-season to rest and recover and come back fighting fit for the new term 2018/ 19 - more CL qualifiers than past Sevco managers, some new star faces in Hoops? Even further enhanced Celtic Park and the quest for the triple treble - and beyond.

Evening Ed007,

I've see a lot of pictures online tonight of the team back in training, a few pics are floating about of a couple of guys training with the team who people can't seem to figure out who they are? Any ideas if we have anyone on trial?

{Ed007's Note - I've not seen any pics but someone said earlier there's some kids (Under 19s) on trial.}

18 Jun 2018 21:29:57
Cheers Ed! I have uploaded the picture in the photo uploads page! Have a wee look the lads look like they are older than youth player one of them looks like Jonathan Bamba who I understands contact is up and is free to speak to teams.

{Ed007's Note - Gerry McCulloch has now confirmed that they are under 19 trialists.}

{Ed007's Note - That's creepy man! I was just writing a post out to update the lads on you and Timalloy when this post came in.
Ciftci's already away and I wouldn't be surprised to see the rest of them except Bitton moving on.}

Update from Timalloy:

I had to spend longer in hospital than I anticipated or wanted. I am now back home, we were supposed to be visiting Mrs T's family in England but that has been postponed because Mrs T and girls will not leave me in house on my own. I also have to say my 2 ex bear pals have stepped in and taken me to various hospital and doctor appointments, so a big thanks to them, even if I had to listen to them going on and on about Stevie Gee groan.
Sadly, I will not be on the Celtic pages for a while yet (stop smiling there ED007) tell regulars I hope to back on in a couple of weeks. I need to recharge my batteries and get my sense of humour back, been a bit down lately and moaning at everything and everyone. Sorry girls and Mrs T
Pleased to see Odsonne signed hail hail

Take it easy and get well Tim. Hurry back so that i can ignore some more of your tips. (I make a point of not checking the results in case you were right)
@ PB. I’m doing ok buddy. Still 2 weeks to go of my treatment. The chemo knocks the sh1t out of you but its nearly done and i get a break for about 10-12 weeks before the op.

Boyata in belgium 11 v panama! be good to see how he copes and hopefully adds a few £ onto his market value!

Believable3 Unbelievable0

18 Jun 2018 17:36:52
He’s not really had much to do to be fair. I will be interested to see how he copes against England.

Agree1 Disagree1

18 Jun 2018 18:28:52
How well did he play? Was he tested much.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jun 2018 19:55:13
He will have to be very bad against England because the English centre halves are terrible against one of the World's super teams Tunisia.

Agree0 Disagree2

18 Jun 2018 21:27:38
He looked a little nervy at times but showed some good vision to come and win some strong challenges and he was comfortable enough bringing the ball out. Not a huge test thpugh as has been said. I'd like him to stay but every player has a price and if it's true he's looking to move on then playing for Belgium adds on a few quid.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jun 2018 15:52:31
big Boyata starting for the Belgian’s lol!

I can't agree Ajer is a converted midfielder. He joined Celtic as a versatile player who had played centre defence, midfield and even attack. Brendan Rodgers decided he should concentrate on playing centre defence, it wasn't any new piece of brilliant thinking as Ajer had played centre half often before .
I fail to see how it would devalue Ajer if he had been previously a centre half .
Connolly's value as a centre half hadn't been deminished in any way by starting his Celtic career as a midfielder.

Agree0 Disagree2

18 Jun 2018 08:35:47
Morning Eds is there any word on if we are looking for a new centre half before the CL qualifiers with players away on international duty they will be given extra time away to recover from that?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I'd be a bit surprised if there's any brought in for the the early rounds unless anyone leaves, we've got Ajer, Hendry, Simunovic and maybe even see Compper and Bitton thrown into the mix so we aren't short on numbers. We might even go with 3 at the back of Hendry, Ajer and KT.}

18 Jun 2018 17:21:17
I think your right about enough in numbers I just don't think we have enough in quality.
Ajer is a converted midfielder.
Hendry is a novice.
Commper?
And people were praising boyata for knocking the ball out of play towards the end of season.
No cover at LB.
RB needs addressed.
Hopefully the club is looking to strenghten all areas.

Agree0 Disagree0

The ability amongst our individual centre halves is fine, hence our fine goal conceded record especially in domestic football. Sometimes in Europe we may try to attack too much and we allow opponent midfield and strikers to get in around our centre defence . This creates a situation that even the best of centre defenders find great difficulty coping with . We need to get our whole team balance right, with everyone defending when we haven't got the ball and not lose the ball quickly and stupidly when we have the ball.

Thankfully the Joe Allan rumour is now at an end.
He has just signed a new 4 year deal at Stoke. HH.
