Would u take tawanda maswannhise as well as someone else i didn't realise he had scored that many goals until i heard his name mentioned in a podcast, every time ive seen him play he looks like the player we need.

Just saw a story we are in for Andrej IIic. He is a 6' 2" forward, who scores a lot with both his feet and head. He us big and strong and knows where he needs to be to get goals.
He would be a great option for our wingers to throw the ball low or high into the box.
Apparently he is around 8 mill but worth every penny by what i have seen and read about him.
Can imagine we will be nowhere near him but he would be what we need just now, a pure goalscorer.
Can't see MN agreeing to pay out that much on a striker.

I'd take dame wishy-washy just now if she could score from a corner.

Read he's valued at €6m Maeda but agree he's exactly the type of player we need.

Ilic has a 1 in 4 average and I think another scepovic. i'd get bowie with wilson on a 6 month loan . maswasshise can play few positions i'd monitor till summer along with they're nz player can't remember name.
13 Jan 2026 21:09:40
Kuhn seems not to be fav at new club why not ask for a cheeky loan for 6 month at least we know what we're getting.

He rested for his first 6 months here and couldn't wait to leave, so can't see him putting the work in if he came back.

Absolutely not . Guy turned up for 6months the year and half he was here.

Roll up, roll up, any other rejects want to come back to Celtic?

He had good few months then downed tools. All this hype to bring former players back just undermines the suppposed reasons for the toxic culture around the club😂.

The club are starting to look amatuerish. peoples heads should roll.

Just starting to look Amateurish? I would say we've been Amateurish for at least 6 years. Got lucky a few times in those 6 years with appointment of Ange and his knowledge of Asian market.
To be honest since 2012 we've only strived to be just better than the rest in Scotland .
1
{Ed007's Note - We smashed it with the signings of Ideguchi, Kobayashi, Iwata and Oh, even Hatate has been a major let down. Ange made 2 decent signings from the Asian market in Kyogo and Maeda, the rest of the signings were what is seen nowadays as "Club signings".
Or had Ange been watching CCV, Jota, Starfekt, Abada, Giakoumakis and Joe Hart as possible signings for the Dudu Dahan partnered part of the City Group Yokohama F-Marinos?}

If you are concerned for me Gerry, best thing you can do is help get rid of the board. 😉
If we done that my mood would lift considerably.

Eddie Howe - If he'd came, we'd have been lucky to get 2 seasons from him. Probably still be in the same position we're in now. Mean time Eddie and his team (that didn't fancy Glasgow) , are making loadsa dough and sustain high profiles in EPL.
All his players are 2 or 3 notches above ours in quality. Howe and Co will get together in a pub somewhere in 10 years time and reflect that knocking back Celtic was 'a no brainer'.

13 Jan 2026 21:10:22
Your probably right but a don't care if every manager comes in and we only get 2/ 3 yrs as long as they win league. must admit a did want Howe and ano Martinez is a strong candidate in summer (doesn't set heather on fire for me) but with our board we will probably end up with an unknown with no experience.
13 Jan 2026 20:27:33
Right I know transfer budgets etc. Ain't my strong point and I know being covered but still don't truly understand it to be honest but how is that horrible mob able to spend money no problem especially after spending 8 million onwards on a striker yet we are her recalling and on loan that was deemed not good enough!
2
13 Jan 2026 20:56:36
Johnny would you spend 8mill on the horrible mobs striker …… it's a glaring example of the market and the dross you could end up with, they are spending this years and next years money hoping to get reward of league win as for them could be auto cl place, we on other hand know how hard we find it to qualify and are scared to wastes money, mon will get the players he needs, won't be buys as who's going to be sold on a club from an interim manager, decent loans.

Jaa, a blind man and his dog can see that chermiti is a dud and everton seen them coming a mile away. There are plenty of good strikers out there for £8m.
People need to remember £8m is absolutely nothing in todays football market in terms of where we should be. World class strikers cost £100m+ now.
Also remember we were paying close to £8m on players nearly 30 years ago.
Its the way our club is run now that's the problem. The dinosaurs running our club haven't moved with inflation. And its not just transfer fees but wages as well.
Keeping in line with inflation we should easily able to afford to spend £20m on players.

They can't spend next year's money due to UEFA sustainability regulations.
They are financing it with player sales and their net spend in the summer was not that high, so they still have money left over.
I explained why we are not spending but many are choosing to ignore it. Our board have messed up that badly, that while our financial position is far better than theirs, we cannot spend it freely due to the massive drop in our revenue this season and we will be in a worse position than them in the summer as we will need to cut costs to comply with UEFA regulations. These charlatans need hounded out our club.

13 Jan 2026 21:47:12
Come on weejoe, it's been pointed out a few times that how you might be reading the finance rules isn't correct. We won't be under that pressure next season.
13 Jan 2026 18:51:23
I feel for the club, mon and us as fans, we have some quality injured we have some poor signings, we've spent ans wasted money,
And undoubtedly put ourselves in this position, listening to Mon saying we need to supplement squad screams to me we will get quality signings on loan, will they be Robbie Keane quality etc I doubt it but I think that's prob what mon has in mind,
As a club we clearly want players of a better quality but in my opinion we are looking in a bracket of player below that and that's leading us to buy at risk, if Celtic want to get quality and want better players we need to resource them, scout them from a better pool of players than what we currently do, or we will fall back like we are at present and be on par with sevco, and European teams below where we want to be, striving to be on par with the big Dutch teams, Brugge even a mitjeland is where we should be but it's just wether we will get the people in place to take us there, we are only a transfer window and few players away, but 5mill players they won't be, Engels still has time on his side to live up to the price but we need more signings of the same ilk in my opinion.
13 Jan 2026 18:23:15
You'd think with jota and ccv out for season and AJ and Osmand looking like March, wee mick might have got a move on going to Falkirk tomorrow night, half way through window with no striker 😭.
13 Jan 2026 16:56:01
It's good to see martin standing his ground by looking to get his own players in. I can just imagine the rubbish that the French fraud had lined up am sure they were world beaters . wee o neill can spot a player hopefully he has 3or4 on there way as we badly need them and soon.
i would like to see at least two new players playing against Hearts . i'm more hopeful now that Martin has had his say on incomings.
13 Jan 2026 15:58:04
Many of us will have watched today's MON interview. He reassures us he is actively involved in assessing new recruits. He wants players in, they must be a good fit, and he has co-operation of the Board. At least we know he is not dithering. He re-iterated that January is tricky but is hopeful of getting players he needs.

13 Jan 2026 16:28:35
That puts to bed the theory of " the club signing players and not the manager"! At least we should get good signings if MON is running the rule over them👍.

13 Jan 2026 16:40:53
He also said to "help the players until the end of the season at least' which implies it's mainly loans.

MON did say some might come in until the summer, which suggests loans. Either way they will be what he wants and thinks he needs.
The good thing is he has discarded some players offered and I wonder if Ta Bi was one of them.
There are numerous stories around why that one was binned but we will probably never get the real reason from our media, it will be that we were outbid by an EPL club.
My reading is we jumped before they were interested. The player was even interviewed and said he was coming here and had turned down other clubs.
The other south American right winger we were are looking at, looks a better player imo.
Going to be a really twitchy few weeks.

We can't compete with EPL club! Seemingly Ta Bi need knee surgery.
