Team were excellent. playing 5 in midfield allows the likes of Ntcham and Kouassi to perserve their energy a bit more and maintain which allows the whole team to maintain a good tempo

Thought Odsonne shut a lot of people up as well, guys 19 and can hardly see the difference between him and Dembele.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

30 Jan 2018 23:20:04
Tierney and broony outstanding and edouard was maybe best he's played imo rest of team were excellent.

Agree5 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 11:01:27
Brown cost us a goal so KT for me. A young core of players who will go from strength to strength.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 22:58:34
Take out Broony and De Vries and the average age of the rest of the team tonight must of been about 20. Thought Ntcham was a stand out tonight again just gets better week by week.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

30 Jan 2018 22:06:19
I thought the 3 midfields were excellent tonight.
Also did you notice the way the players celebrated the goals. not seen that in a while.
Great performance.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

30 Jan 2018 22:40:41
Agreed and was nice to see a top performance from Kouassi.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 22:47:52
Brown was definitely saying something to Lafferty after each goal in first half when that lump of wood was waiting to re start the match in centre circle. I thought they played well.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 00:07:44
I calked for Kouassi to replace McGreggor and the boy showed tonight that he deserves to play. He is class and will get even better with more games. I thought we were fecking brilliant in the first half. Moussa also showed those who were beginning to doubt him how wrong they were. He will fly the second half of the season.

My link committed hari Kari ten minutes intonthecsecibdvhalf so I missed young Charlie. It was his first run out and we all know the impact this young guy will make.

Ajer was brilliant as was KT, Ntcham and Broony. This will give the team so much confidence. Young Eduiard was excellent too and a return to tearing teams a new one started tonight.

We have two days left of this window and if we bring in another couple of quality players I honestly believe we can take on Zenit and do them too.

I'm staying at my big bluenose pals tonight. I said two words to him after my link died.

Be afraid.

Totally chuffed for the team. Can't wait for Saturday.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I bet you're pal's sitting sqaure in a corner with a cork up his bum after that statement!}

I really don't like him.

Hi I am new on here and would just like to say hello to all the Celtic family on here.

I have a few questions I would like to ask and see the replies from.

Are the majority of fans happy with the way the club is run and by our recent transfer activity?

Do you think our club really spends every penny we make?, by reinvesting in the team?

Believable2 Unbelievable1

30 Jan 2018 17:05:44
How can we spend every thing on player purchase? Celtic are a huge business that incurs huge costs mate. Think what our leccy bill is, trite i know, but a good gauge.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 18:15:19
I think when you see the annual financial statements, you will see the transfer budget is a mere fraction of the running costs and even profits made on sale of star players, never gets fully reinvested.
However, the club and business are being well run - especially when you consider the lack of co-efficient due to our domestic rivals 'brexit' strategy at the first qualifiers and the pittance received in TV revenue compared to many inferior teams in the UK.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 19:10:32
The annual accounts don't go into much detail and are more like a summary.

I would actually like to see a breakdown of our expenses.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 20:57:07
The first question can't really be answered till thursday morning and the 2nd question, i would say no, because we have other commitments on going what with the hotel museum and shop, all good investments. Welcome to the site jamesybhoy 👍HH.

I like the look if that but think he will play McGreggor for 60minutes. After he does FA he will introduce Charlie.

Hopefully not but I think it's a cert.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 14:37:54
Well done ED! first to ever mention Musonda Must be near three years ago. great spot mate.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Thanks, GJ, was it really that long ago I first spoke about him? Gee! I knew when Rodgers came in our chances of getting him would be better and as I said since the summer we would had as good a chance as anyone of getting him - even when the usual doom mongers were saying it would never happen.
I've seen people sniping about loan deals for players like Roberts and now Musonda but would they rather we spent our money on players like Scott Allan and Ciftci? We'll buy quality players when we can afford them e.g. Ntcham but there's no way in the world Musonda would have been in our price range even if Chelsea wanted to sell.}

Alright lads does anybody know if the game is on sky or BT sports tonight? Cheers.

Afternoon Ed,


It's a bit dodgy club the size of us not having a sub goalie on the bench tonight is it not? The boy Willison from the development squad doesn't even have a pic on the Celtic website!

The season before last we were sending players out on loan and still getting game time with the development squad

Surely we must have a recall of Hazard they rate him clearly we would be better off just recalling him than be held to ransom for Carson surely?

Can we recall him? (Y)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Hazard was back at Lennoxtown the other day (Monday) but nobody seems to know why, Jamie. I've been trying to find out if there is a recall option and getting mixed responses about it leading me to guess that there's not or the Club would have done so and there would have been some announcement by us or Falkirk.
It's in the rules of the game (G16 of the SPFL Regs) that you must name a sub 'keeper so it does look like Reece Willison will be on the bench tonight.}

30 Jan 2018 14:18:28
Oh well mate at least if he makes the bench they can take his picture pmsfl

I know you cannot factor injury but stuff like that mate makes Murderwell think they can hold us to ransom 200k for a keeper that cost them 10k!

We are stuck to a degree Carson ain't better than DDV! (y)

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't pay £200 for Carson mate. If we're looking at that level then for me it's a pity Hibs got Scott Bain on loan. It looks like all we're looking for is an understudy for DDV so if it is Carson let's just get the Rosaries out that de Vries stays fit.
I don't think there's anything wrong with what Motherwell are doing mate, they know we're loaded and desperate and also that it would really weaken them so late in the window to sell Carson. How much would you have wanted off Chelsea for Gordon last season remembering his age and injury history, would you have been happy with say £500k?
Do you - or anyone else - remember Freddie Woodman from Newcastle that was at Killie on loan a couple of years ago, I've seen a few people suggesting him but I can't remember him at all?}

30 Jan 2018 14:44:14
What about marshal ed what his contract situ always liked him.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - He's supposedly handed in a transfer request at Hull so I can't see him swapping their bench for ours.}

30 Jan 2018 15:22:28
Was thinking he might be better than doris although he needs a wee run to c what he can do. cheers bud.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - DDV deserves his chance if we're not buying a new No.1.}

30 Jan 2018 15:11:55
I would have taken the money ALL day long for CG mate! I said it at the time I don't get that deal at all "Improve players let them move on for more wages" there was talk of 4 mil for CG and him getting 40/ 50k a week

I never heard of that goalie in my puff mate by the sounds of it we would be better aff way Freddie KRUGGER mate what a pair of hands he had (Y) :-P.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I know that but if Hearts offered £500k you'd take it, if Chelsea are in for him you're bumping the price up. Imagine Courtois got injured the week before the window shut and we sold Gordon to Chelsea for £500k with two days left to find a replacement, the fans would be going crazy.}

30 Jan 2018 15:35:50
Def ed his kicking was great on Sat when he came on.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 15:49:48
Marshall wouldn't be on bench. He's better than the our 2 main goalies.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Sitting on Hull's bench - who are 21st in the Championship and only not in a relegation spot by goal difference - shows how good he is. When did you last see him play?}

30 Jan 2018 16:00:35
Woodman is a very highly rated young keeper but Newcastle have their own keeper injuries with Elliott so right now Woodman making the bench.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Cheers, JT.}

30 Jan 2018 17:24:43
I am sure some of the youngsters we loan have a clause in their contract that allows them to play in the development team matches as well. This could explain why Hazard was spotted at our training ground after he went on loan to Falkirk.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I thought that too, RAW but I never seen him in any of the team listings.}

30 Jan 2018 18:27:45
According to Clyde now, there is no option to get Hazard back.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 12:11:58
Ed, how much did we pay to get Charly in on loan?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I've heard that Celtic will pay £1 million as a loan fee with a 50% bonus if we reach the CL next season and that we're paying somewhere around the £10k - £12k a week towards his wages.}

30 Jan 2018 15:21:42
Cheers Ed.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - No probs.}

30 Jan 2018 17:26:00
Great bit of business if we only had to pay 1 million (possible 1.5million) as a loan fee.

Would much rather have Musonda for 1.5 years for that price, than Scott Allan for his entire contract for a similar fee.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, I saw the title winning celebration photo of Dembele, Sinclair, Ambrose, Toure, Boyata and Kouassi last night and it got me thinking, if Toure was still playing this season we could name an outfield all black team and its remarkable how perfect the formation is. Quite fascinating really.

Boyota
Toure
Compper

Musonda
Kouassi
Ntcham
Benyu
Sinclair

Dembele

A question for you Ed, is it possible that Chelsea will have included a clause in the Musonda deal that would allow them to recall him before the end of the loan period? HH.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - There's no recall option on the deal.}

30 Jan 2018 11:36:18
Excellent news Ed. This guy could be great for us but we need to see the product before getting overly excited just yet. He seems top quality though and I thinks it's ok for us to be optimistic about what he will bring.
It'll be interesting to see how he reacts to getting the occasional 'reducer' from opposing defenders on a wet and windy Wednesday night in the Highlands. HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - They'll need to get near him first. There's plenty of footage of the product available, he's made over 20 apps for Real Betis and about 10 for Chelsea.}

30 Jan 2018 11:31:07
Its not the defense that's the problem in the SPL its the attack, the chances are not being taken the way they were and we are not as fluent and making as many as before, hence why we are getting edgy during games that are not put to bed.
If we are 2,3,4 up then we would never talk about the defense as who would care if we lost a goal when 4 up.
