Av said before our most important signing nxt season for me is the manager, then after that a would like realisticly a forward line of Braga, Hogh, Mali, jota with osmane as back up. Midf n Def am sure yous guys btr idea than me.

Think Sevconian will buy braga but would be happy if we got him. not sure hogh is good enough for price they want. mali who he? Will jota be same player if he comes back. for midfield i'd take patrick berg of bodo cdm. Just from motherwell. also the young hibs dcm chaiwa and Watson cam of killie as projects. i'd be reasonably with sarrachi as back up to tierney and Donovan for aj.
cb don't know depends if ccv fit and trusty leaves but we still need at least one. not fully convinced of sinsalo. but the big money has to be spent on a proven goalscorer. and there lies the problem are the board going biscuit tin and rubbish loans or are the going to back a new manager.

We certainly need a New Broom to gut the place from top to bottom. Similar to when AP took over or even BR's first term; although we have an unbelievable amount of dross, deadwood and detainees that don't want to be here. It's going to be a massive challenge - especially if we lose our title and the opposition have that cash injection.
However, as long as the Desmond dynasty are calling the shots I am apprehensive about what ambition and intention will be shown.

Mali a can't spell his full name the boy from Motherwell try Malikwisha ??♂️.

Is (malikwisha) not the lesser spotted Celtic winger? ??.

We require at least one GK with Kasper being out of contract.
The centre of defence is an issue, will CCV ever return, what will his form be like, should he be sold and upgraded?
Midfield is a shambles, IMO Calmac needs to be replaced asap, there's zero dig in the middle of the park and no creativity.
On the wings we've got ine decent winger, what will Jota be like when he returns from injury? Forrest is done, Yang nowhere near good enough and £5M wasted on that other clown who doesn't get a game.
Upfront, rip it up and start again. Neither of the loan signings are any good, the young lad who's injured, Osmund, is a 3rd strikwr at best.
There's a huge amount of work to be done with this first team squad and whoever the new manager may be, given this boards performance this season, any notions of us bringing in a top tier manager is the stuff of fantasy.

Play the youth, live in the wilderness, fast on the failure and the trophy less seasons until we have a crop of talented young players, good enough to take on the best in ?, stopped being.

Our Youth players would get us relegated year after year.
Mid table in non league football this season.
Gerry Creaney over 30 years ago was the last youth striker to get a regular game in the Celtic 1st team.
We should put our money into football schools in Africa.
The Scottish youth system is a joke which means Celtic have 2 hands tied behind their backs.

We have criminally neglected our Youth and Development responsibility. Not only that, I have been informed from parents in my family. this apathy has festered right down to the kids level.

Pedro and Buzz - it’s good to read things as I see them. Great posts both of you.

There's no youth system it's a disgrace the B team are getting pumped most weeks off juniors, if there was one ready iam sure he'd have been In,

The team needs a defensive midfielder who knows how to tackle with a bit of physicality, not had that since broony and wanyama before him.
17 Apr 2026 20:29:07
BB88, cheers for that - I just wish I was posting something positive.
I'm sure Buzzbomb must feel the same, but if it's a rubbish show, call it a rubbish show.

Spend all available moneys on a world class youth development system, take the relegations, if they come on the chin, let the young team develop in a lower league, if they can't do it in the top league, stop being success junkies, get back to being supporters of a football team, win, lose or draw.
