I know we all love to speculate at this time of year, and with nothing else to do here is my tuppence worth of transfer theorizing.
The squad is very strong and if no one left wouldn't need any additions.
Even if those players out of contract left only Fraser Foster would need an expensive replacement. { However I believe he will be here next season whenever that will be}
With the rumours about Brandon Soppy if true then i think that could mean Frimpong could be leaving at a great profit to us.
I would like to see us buy Hamilton and Lewis from Accies, Hickey from Hearts and Turnbull from Motherwell with all being loaned back for a year. Daniel Church could be loaned to Hearts with the proviso that Hickey plays in midfield he would make the perfect replacement for SB after he retires with his 10th championship in a row.
Also if there are doubts about Eyonoussi then weshould try to get Ryan Fraser on a free.

{Ed007's Note - Remember Man City are due 30% of any profit we make on Frimpong, Jon.}

I still can't get ma head round that one ed.

21 Apr 2020 00:22:12
No ones paying big money for Frimpong yet. Lad has potential but hasn't done enough to warrant a big money move.

21 Apr 2020 09:19:12
Correct bigbubs
He's not done much his final product not there. He keeps going backwards or passing ball back and getting caught out position.
Few on here where getting carried away a we bit on how gd he ain't imo.
That position belongs to elhamed. When avail lols.
We need cover for this position and not just a bandaid.
I think it would be gd to know that Celtic are still training hard as our training pitch is huge the lads can turn up in there gear then drive home in it. I'm sure the Celtic coaches could still have us all training separated. No need to go to changing rooms etc. I was just wondering what was going on and what plans are in place to keep the lads super fit incase they start getting lazy.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but the lad had me out my seat more than most this year been a bit unlucky with injury but in my opinion a very promising and exciting prospect I'm looking forward to seeing more of.

21 Apr 2020 15:14:07
I must be watching the wrong frimpong he never once got me out my seat he started to become predictable.
What you talking about it's an opinion website talk about stating the obvious.

21 Apr 2020 16:45:19
You must see something different from me sitting in the house watching games whilst I sit in the stands watching of course it's an opinion website full of different opinions not just bowing down to yours.

21 Apr 2020 16:51:52
The boy played 14 league games this season scored 2 with 3 assists not bad for a right back in his 1st senior season of 1st team football.

21 Apr 2020 18:18:39
frimpon looks a good prospect but needs to grow abit is far too small he gets bullied imo I think soppy could be a great little signing if we get him as elhamed is made of glass might be what we're looking for . Would like us to sign hickey and cochrane from hearts will be cheap and good youn prospects and woul wait till January to see what Trumbull does he may never be the same player.

21 Apr 2020 19:16:56
I'm on it was the setups that we seen the best/ worst of frimpong stay safe.

21 Apr 2020 19:21:07
Would also sell kouassi as he's proven nothing the 2 American lads as they can't get a permit and I know a lot of you will not like this but rogic he's too much of a luxury player and I think Christie is miles better in the number 10 he is also more versatile and actually puts a shift in.

21 Apr 2020 19:42:46
Frank I love watching rogic play but he doesn't play often enough for me due to fitness and injury Christie would be one of the first names on my team sheet every week due to his workrate and commitment to the team and the bhoys a player.

21 Apr 2020 21:25:10
I agree he's a good player and can look awesome at times just not enough he's just a pure sicknote Christie and mcgregor are the heartbeat of the team we seen that when broony was injured the football was fast and fluid rogic didn't get a sniff he isn't needed would take 7 to 10 million for him but that's me hoping sum1 would pay that pmsl.

21 Apr 2020 22:20:27
Jaw you actually think you are s better fan because you go to the game a fan is a fan full stop not sure why you are judging people especially me what makes you think I don't go to Celtic games home and away. Do you also think you are a real Celtic fan because you go to the games. What about all the Celtic fans who can't physically go to to it can't afford a season ticket. And you call yourself a Celtic give me piece.

22 Apr 2020 07:31:41
Foster is vastly over rated, I just can't believe the adulation he gets.

22 Apr 2020 10:09:32
Forster has saved us countless times this season he's best we've had since the holy goalie and if we get him for less than ten mil is money well spent or would u prefer Gordon or Bain in goals? Maybe five teams boy hazar a try he's huge could be a cheap replacement.

22 Apr 2020 12:00:52
Nope Andy I don't think I'm more / better Celtic fan than anyone I simply don't like the way you dismiss other people's opinions if they don't match yours. You have clearly written the bhoy off saying he's done nothing and always goes backwards this is what makes me believe you don't go to many games as I sit directly in line with the 18yard line at the Celtic end only 4 rows up so I see very closely our attacking players in that side and don't see what you are seeing.

22 Apr 2020 12:16:56
I would just like to put on record that in no way do I believe that I or anyone else who attends game's has more/ less love for the club than anyone who can't attend for any reason. However I am entitled to my opinion and will enter into discussion with anyone whether their view is similar or the polar opposite. All I'm looking for is the respect of each others opinions as we are all entitled to them.

22 Apr 2020 14:49:10
One of the reasons why Celtic can go on long winning runs is that Lennon and his assistants have all the first team players trained completely in not taking risks with the ball in dangerous positions . If either full back or wing decides to take on his man he must beat him or he will be in serious trouble . Our team is rarely set up so that full back or wing back is covered if he loses ball, so if he wants to keep his place he will often pass. It’s better we keep procession and use the ball more excitingly further up pitch .
Our play may mean less jumping out of seat for some, but I prefer my thrills closer to opponents goals with at least 4 / 5 of our players behind the ball protecting our goals.

The lions been voted team of the century pipping Barca. oldco not mentioned 😅😅.

20 Apr 2020 18:51:47
Why would they be?

20 Apr 2020 20:50:27
Even their illegal EBT teams did nothing. They are nothing, they will never be anything. HH.

{Ed007's Note -

20 Apr 2020 22:25:25
Loved that one.

21 Apr 2020 08:26:26
It’s strange during a global pandemic it’s still impossible to like them any more or less.

20 Apr 2020 10:58:07
Great version of You'll Never Walk Alone released by Michael Ball and Captain Tom Moore. The Govanites will be asking for their donations back.

20 Apr 2020 12:04:59
Jfp I read a bit about that old guy. Apparently the charity takes a cut of the donations and is run by his daughter and son in law, they're meant to be taking £1.5million.

20 Apr 2020 13:30:30
Steph, that’s shocking but I’m not surprised. This pandemic is simultaneously bringing out the best and the worst in people. I just thought it was funny the choice of song knowing that the Help our Heroes brigade who’d jumped on the British Army link will be cringing if they donated. The auld boy isnae skint it disnae look like a four in a block he’s waking round.

20 Apr 2020 15:44:34
Steph, where did you see that? Do you have a link? HH.

20 Apr 2020 18:32:07
Rangers are saying he only done 97 laps and want an investigation.

20 Apr 2020 22:26:59
Sorry bob I can't find it. Good chance it could've been nonsense but it does fit with most charities these days.

20 Apr 2020 08:38:37
Cannot wait for the live chat on here to return.

20 Apr 2020 09:22:14
How ye doing CB? Good to hear from you. I hope you’re well and staying sane amid the current madness. I agree missing the Celtic and everything that comes with it including the live chat is having its impact on the Faithfull.

20 Apr 2020 11:41:40
Am good mate, how are you? Was up by a few times in the gardens and met a few regulars of up there and now in a rosary group every night on skype!
Hopefully this passes soon and we can get back to some form of normality.

20 Apr 2020 12:27:52
Ed maybe we could do a wee live chat when Celtic TV show full matches at 3 o'clock on a Saturday.

{Ed007's Note - That's a good idea, I'll ask Ed033 to sort it out if folk are up for that 👍

20 Apr 2020 12:48:00
I'm definitely up for it.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

20 Apr 2020 13:11:07
This lock down can bring you closer to your kids it can also bring you closer to insanity have stay safe everybody ha.

{Ed007's Note - That's the important stuff, everyone keeping safe and doing what we can for those that do need help.}

20 Apr 2020 13:20:19
Glad to hear you’re well CB 👍 All’s well here although the wife has been given an NHS badge and is home caring including end of life palliative care for people who’d normally be in hospital which is heavy duty. Keep her in your prayers. I caught Mass live steamed from St Pats in Coatbridge yesterday. Is it somebody down by that organised Rosary group.?

20 Apr 2020 18:31:10
🤣 Jaw I thought about that earlier mate but didn’t think it would be a goer.

20 Apr 2020 18:33:09
Just a couple of the regulars that attend things up by mate there’s only 6 of us on it just now but looking for more if your interested!
