Ed would I be mad for saying the next gen team are playing at a better if not far off spl level? trickycelt... Point being if so why not being them through and save money? {Ed007's Note - I'm all for that Tricky. Young players should be getting gradually brought into the first team squad. Without Rangers we have a great opportunity to put in place the foundations for a conveyor belt of talent to come through the ranks. Traditionally CFC have been known for producing their own players and I would love for us to get back to those days. I will shut up before I start harping on about this stuff lol.}

The Next Gen has been a great experience for the young Celts and you can see the confidence they play with when in the 1st team.
Bringing through the youth is defo the way forward for me at Celtic and I enjoy watching players like Forrest. Mrs E

I think there are a lot of players with huge potential in our youth ranks. They certainly do well in the Next Gen competition.
Sadly we need a central defender and I don't think we could trust a youngster to come through. Has to be an experienced CB for the CL assuming we get there. Also disappointed not to see many of them getting regular games although Watt and Twardzik from the development squad are starting to break into the team.

Young watt was superb today, maybe we don't need to spend a load of cash on a goalscorer after all, what do you think ed?
Greentartanhoops. {Ed007's Note - I would rather see Watt given his chance than have a mediocre CF brought in who will hinder Watt's chances. There is no point in having a youth academy if players from it aren't going to be given a chance.}

Ed, What do you think of Tony Watt and Johnny Russell playing together? I think they could be awesome. KL {Ed007's Note - If we could offload Bangura I would take Russell, we know he can do a job in the SPL.}

How many good games for watt before the scottish press start saying man utd arsenal spurs are chasing him ,,,, deep river bhoy

Enjoyed the game today, even if I had to keep quiet being in the wrong end! I live in the Highlands and find it so much easier to get tickets for me and my lad in the home end of the stadium. I did notice there were a load of spare tickets on sale from the travelling bhoys, so I may have been a bit quick in buying home-end tickets!
Three points to make, 1st point, Great to see our support from the "other side" You get a good sense of the atmosphere when you stand back from it.
2nd point, Tony Watt is shaping up to be a great asset for the hoops and we need to keep his feet on the ground. He is not the finished article but is hungry for goal. Needs to be a bit more aware of the game around him, but I'm nitpicking now.
3rd point, Bangura is absolutely sh1te, we need to try and offload him on a player & cash deal for Johnny Russel, but I doubt if Peter Houston would even entertain him at Tannadice. All in all though, we cruised through the match with our sellotaped side today.

Rhodes looks slow at times. No pace.

Hey Ed a question, watching the Swansea pre game thing and it showed and said that mi was sold for 8.75mill, is this right? I thought it was 6.3mill plus add on of 1.2 so total of 7.5mill and sell on later. Were they talking about maybe he total in the future or did we get 8.75mill for him? If so that is great! Still hope of big sell on %. Thanks cb

Do you think the board trust NL in the transfer market, as Lustig, Wilson, Murphy and Bangura have not helped his cause. Also I think McCourt's performance today showed why he doesn't play too often.

McCourt played okay.

Aye very good! You blatently forgot to mention all the quality signings he has made. Should you not be concentrating on your own managers sh!t signings?

Briggs, has it got to the stage where someone says something that you don't agree with that you accuse them of supporting another team.
The fact is we have a lot of money on the four players I have mentioned. £2 million, plus wages on Bangura alone. The boy couldn't hit a barn door from two feet. Possibly the worst striker I have ever seen in a Celtic jersey. Has he had a shot on target yet?
Agree7

Juarez bangura murphy 7.1 million half his total budget wasted ...some good signings some bad but i think its fair to say he wont have full trust of the board yet good money for ki but lennon didnt sign him

Your right he should be signing world class players everytime no mistakes please

Great result but against a very poor side. Big vic was man of match IMO, surprised if he is not sold by end of the transfer window to a big club. Young watt is one to hold on to.

Found out 3 things today
1) Tony Watt is the best striker we have.
2) Kelvin Wilson is an accident waiting to happen.
3) Mo Bangura is not a footballer and never will be. He had 25 minutes to show us what he is all about and he done nothing.

We keep players like Bangura and Wilson and get rid of Ki. Incredible.

Did you see the first tackle on Bangura , he went down like he,d been shot . I hate saying anything negative about anything Celtic but don't think he's good enough neither is Lustig by the way.......DH

What did wilson do wrong?
Agree3
Disagree1
He conceded 2 goals thats what he done wrong. Hes a defender thats not very good at defending. Every clean sheet we have had this season he didnt start. That says it all really

He did that himself did he, i think you'll find the young leftback didn't cover and the entire midfield stopped tracking back.

That's why Ki was sold for 6m and victor wanyama wasn't, wanyama is a far more complete central midfielder. If and when he leaves us (prob next year) 10m for wanyama easy! Ian L

Awryt everyone hope yous are all well just doing my usual Saturday morning read and can across an article online From last week On the daily express website it's headlines states " Rangers set to snub spl" rangers are saying if they win 3 straight promotions they've talk about not entering spl because they've been subject to their quotes read as follows haha "a Witchunt" "prosecuted not punished" these people are deluded honestly they think they've done nothing wrong it bewilders me the sooner everything comes out to dry the better still a lot of crap to hit the fan just thought I'd give yous all who haven't seen it a laugh.. I also heard a wee rumour from a friend of a friend that a cb is due for a medical in Ross hall Next week

There is no way Jordan Rhodes will be coming to Celtic now if Macheda comes on loan plus NL wants a couple of players in before window shuts and he certainly will not be paying 5 or 6 millions of Rhodes. I really was hoping we would sign this bhoy :(

Look I know its a rumours site but be realistic we will only sign one player luckiest be two players as a Celtic diehard I see what Neil lennOn says he happy at what he has soo is Peter lawel soo why all this expectations I will be extremely happy with more than one signing but iam looking at the bigger picture we can't afford anyone over 4 million unless its loans!! Some of you get rumour head checked or fake fans!!

all supporters would demonstrate strongly against this happening.
