Celtic rumours 2

11 Jan 2026 21:18:25
Stephen Welsh has been recalled from his loan at Motherwell. The article states Celtic intend to keep him in the squad going forward.

11 Jan 2026 21:30:03
Sensible move👍.

11 Jan 2026 21:30:07
This suggests we won't be signing a CB and will be going with scales, trusty, Welsh and Murray.

11 Jan 2026 23:03:47
And what Joe.

11 Jan 2026 23:10:52
Poor decision… not physical enough for CH.

We need much better.

This is what happens when you have an incompetent and incoherent board and no football department.

We desperately need a commanding CH.

11 Jan 2026 23:37:51
@Bhoy88
Sensible move? In what way? So we don't have to spend money on a CB?
Honestly mate if you think this is a sensible move (unless its recalling him to sell) then you really need your head examined.

12 Jan 2026 01:23:05
It's sensible move because we need a RCB, he's our player and he's playing well into the bargain! Think about it Derry it makes sense👍.

12 Jan 2026 03:42:36
It's a sensible move because January is a nightmare window and Welsh has been fine for us in the league. The way some of you act about home grown players is laughable. As soon as they make a mistake that's them in the bin. They could have 10 solid games in a row but that 1 game where they make a mistake, you'll go "I told you he was *****".

I'm not concerned with our defence for the league. It's the front end of the pitch that needs addressing. You want a commanding centre half? What so every player he comes in contact with can throw themselves to the floor and win a free kick? Ball playing centre backs are what Celtic need. Trusty, scales, CCV and Welsh will all win more headers, duels, tackles than they lose.

So in short, yes, it's a sensible move.

12 Jan 2026 07:48:10
Keep clapping bhoy, so long as it makes you happy.

12 Jan 2026 07:48:39
You seem to be forgetting that it was not the fans who binned Welsh, it was the managers.

In fact he would have been sold in the summer but we didn't have a buyer, hence the reason he was loaned out.

The fact he has been brought back shows a lack of ambition by the club but this is where we are at. The boards mismanagement has caused a considerable decrease in our revenue and this is going to have consequences that go beyond this season.

Are we supposed to be happy that our board have messed up finances, recruitment, managerial appointments, atmosphere and harmony?

12 Jan 2026 08:43:20
Welsh has had plenty of opportunities at Celtic and can't cut it (fact) . It's ok to play well with no pressure at Motherwell. Celtic is a different animal and it's proven he can't handle it. Horrendous bringing him back.

12 Jan 2026 08:49:13
Sensible, maybe, but it's definitely not exciting or ambitious. It'll be the usual january is a difficult window. Then there's internationals in the summer. That'll be 'difficult' too.

12 Jan 2026 09:44:00
Welsh is good enough for the league. The league is all that matters after the disaster of a summer we've had.

January is a hard window. Teams aren't going to sell their best players this window. Unless you offer silly money. Celtic will not offer silly money. Loan to buy options are our best bet and I don't mind them. Let's you see a player before you commit funds, it's a smart move and we've done alright with them in the past.

Typical response "happy clapper". No mate, I'm a realist. You're deluded. You think Celtic can go and sign a world class centre back in January which is just laughable. Linked with a striker with 1 goal this season and your thoughts will be, "that's not good enough, we should be signing someone on 30 goals". Yeah? Who? What team is going to let a player scoring at that rate go in January?

Celtic need to be sensible in this window and so far they are. Keep your outrage for the summer and get behind the team. No coincidence that the team has struggled since you lot have went sour. Attacking other fans for supporting the team because we actually want to see us do well and all you want is to say "I told you so". Grow up lads.

12 Jan 2026 10:19:31
It's not even about being sensible either, realistic for me more like, Welsh had a poor injury record with us but when fit done ok, he never really got a run in team and as a back ch I see no issue in him, people say managers didn't fancy him, the Belgium club did but didn't have the money, this amazing guy at Motherwell does and now Aberdeen, br didn't fancy lager (wrongly probably ) nawrocki (who knows) trusty ( he was wrong ) welsh ( doing ok elsewhere) and that's just defenders, we work in a market lined with risk in terms of transfers, look at sevcos spend in summer vs what's on park, it's atrocious and that's what our fans are demanding, we need a better structure and plan no doubt or back to oldskool top notch scouting, we need better structure in doing the deals no doubt, but jumping on recalling Welsh and going straight to cheap option jibes, it's boards fault jibes and so on isn't doing anyone any good, it's prob mon who wants him back to look at him, this Jan might save season it won't solve issues, let's as a fanbase look to positives of possibly saving season, the board will still be there to bash when we lose a game, go out a cup or don't win league, if those things don't happen I guarantee no one will be offering a pat on back.

12 Jan 2026 11:23:15
@Beardy it wasn't you i was calling a happy clapper. It was bhoy88.

12 Jan 2026 13:51:25
I can't see what he's said.

I have no love for our board and I back the call to replace them. That doesn't mean I'll criticise them for trying to help MON out this window. You never know what a player is going to be like until they've put on the jersey for us. Highlights and stats are deceiving. I will always support the players and any players we bring in. Our motto is faithful through and through which seems to have been forgotten. If our team isn't performing, I'm not going to jump on any one player. We've had a few bad performances from every player this year.

Kasper for example. People wanting his contract ripped up because he's had a few bad games. Like come on. The same guy who single handedly at times kept us in most of the champions league games last season and stopped us losing more during the early parts of this season. He's not just suddenly declined that much in a few months. It's a confidence issue, the same with every player in the team. Hatate is another, gets no end of grief yet he runs his socks off every single game he plays. We're allowed to critique players, it's part of the game but we should also support these boys through difficult spells. Celtic players play far better when we show them support. It's a high pressure job and we shouldn't let any players away with not putting in a shift. We should call for them to go when they make a mistake though. Mistakes happen.

I'm pissed off with this season as much as anyone but I'm tired off it. I'm going to support the manager and players and hopefully the board haven't screwed us for the title come May.

12 Jan 2026 17:41:45
I will back the team and the manager, but I won't put my outrage at the board on hold. I'll continue to highlight their mistakes and push for their removal at every opportunity.

The board might think they've pulled a rabbit out of the hat by bringing Martin back, but the genie is out of the bottle. Many of us have had enough of their poor management, lack of vision, lack of ambition, dismissive attitude towards fans, and the complete absence of meaningful dialogue.

A few bad results or a poor transfer window and the toxicity will return to the stadium, directed straight at them. They can still fix this by engaging meaningfully with supporters, but instead they're choosing to hide in their ivory tower.

12 Jan 2026 17:57:11
aberdeen have made a offer for him i think. hope the bhoy gets a move.

12 Jan 2026 18:32:21
I don't care how much a player costs. What I am interested in is bringing in players better than what we have I really don't think Welsh is better than Trusty and I would have liked us to bring in someone better. Improving the squad has to be the minimum point here and Welsh will not fill that remit .

It snacks of laziness too me a familiar position we have been in for some years now and it seems to be getting worse. Ever since the Second Lennon spell.

12 Jan 2026 20:05:41
WeeJoe, name a club or clubs who have meanful dialogue with the fans, who aren't a out for themselves with their own agenda?

Name a football club where the board have not made mistakes.

Do you honestly think someone is going to come into Celtic and do a David Murray and send us down the river.

The finances aren't there to do that in Scottish football.

{Ed007's Note - Nobody's asking anyone to come in and force the Club into liquidation by tax dodging and illegally registering players though are they so that's a pointless comparison.
The Celtic support have made sure the Club have the finances to be domination the Scottish game and at least holding our won at European level with similar clubs - we don't need anyone else's money, we just need people running the Club to spend the money we have in a more wisely fashion.}

12 Jan 2026 20:43:59
@greentreee - borussia Dortmund have meaningful dialogue with their fans.

Anyway, I don't care about other clubs, I care about Celtic and right now our board are making an absolute arse of it.

Do you agree?

11 Jan 2026 20:53:12
Celtic have put a loan to buy bid in for Mohamed Bamba of Lorient.

11 Jan 2026 21:17:50
He's scored 1 goal this season and his agent is dudu duhan. Ticks all the boxes.

11 Jan 2026 21:35:17
Remember what I said. I predict loans and low transfer fees this window and don't be surprised if Maeda is sold to offset the fees we pay.

Recalling Welsh, suggests we are going for the cheap option. This is because the boards feck ups won't just impact this season, it will have a large impact on next season and the incompetent fools are still there. Beggers belief.

The fact they are back to using duhan shows you how badly they have messed up.

11 Jan 2026 21:36:42
Jeezo🥺.

11 Jan 2026 21:37:34
I watched his YouTube highlights and they didn't make him look overly impressive but if he signs time will tell.

11 Jan 2026 23:04:49
Joe, cheap option isn't what anyone's trying to do, you're as bad at sensationalising things as Mr Keevins, constantly pushing a narrative that's suits your opinions . there's no disputing "how much they've messed up " as you put it.

But facts are in January club's goal scorers aren't regularly available, that's not opinion it's the just the facts, we will be in a market to try and upset a striker with interest, buy an upset striker, buy a striker/ player that' has shown promise but maybe isn't doing it at moment or getting game.

we without a doubt will be relying on known sources and agents to get deals done also, calling Welsh back makes sense why would we be looking to buy a cb when we have one performing as well as other players in league. if he's recalled and not up to it in mon's eyes we have time still to look elsewhere.

also there is interest in him so recalling also makes sense, you mention Daizen going to offset costs, absolute nonsense, not the Daizen going part, but you trying to push it will be to offset costs, as a club whether you like it or not we are monetarily wise ran better than most in Europe.

is our transfer structure good no it's poor at the moment, but is important because you'll have us believe it's been poor for a decade until people mention some decent ones and then like you did other day say u only meant last few years, so it's poor at the moment, we have an interim manager so loans might also be the options we need to use.

12 Jan 2026 00:58:15
Jaa11,

when do you think would be a good time to sign like for like or better players to replace Kyogo and Idah, our previously 1st and 2nd choice strikers?

12 Jan 2026 01:26:22
Very well put Jaa11, 'sensationalising' is exactly what it is!

12 Jan 2026 03:45:29
Wow. Ja, someone who finally talks sense on here. None of this overly entitled nonsense. What a relief. You've restored some of my faith in our fans.

12 Jan 2026 03:50:58
Why do people think what someone has done makes a difference? There are so many factors as to why a striker hasn't scored goals. The team he plays for might not create a lot. They might be one of the weaker teams in the league and are constantly on the back foot. He might be on the bench because they already have a striker scoring goals. None of these mean he's a terrible striker.

As for his YouTube highlights, I don't know what ones you watched but what I saw was a big powerhouse winning headers and actually being able to hold the ball and link the play. Someone we've been screaming out for, for years.

Before you all start throwing toys out the pram, this window was never going to be the rebuild we need. It's a patch over job until the summer where we can do it properly. I'm convinced most of you just live for being negative. It doesn't matter what good happens, you all just follow the haters like sheep. All seem very emotional!

11 Jan 2026 20:57:26
Ed broke that news earlier👍.

12 Jan 2026 11:07:08
another happy clapper on board, lovely.

12 Jan 2026 12:36:57
Pedro the next player for any position in my view should be constantly considered, by that I mean a list of players that we will target if required or needed for every position, it's clearly not the case at Celtic, in terms of kyogo and idah neither needed replaced as neither was performing well, but a striker should have came in during summer, my thoughts are Idah was kyogos replacement signed by Rodgers but also dismissed by him, idah we jumped at chance to sell without a plan to replace, dolberg shouldn't be out of our league but against Ajax it's not happening, I really think striker wise fans will need to accept unknowns scouted and the risk of them being rotten as signing proven scorers prob won't Happen.

12 Jan 2026 13:04:55
I think a lot of the business will be temporary or low risk as the new manager might not see them in his plans. Money will be available in the summer along with extra from player sales.

I can see Maeda and Hatate leaving, along with a list of others like Balikwisha, Palma, CCV ect. Let the new manager build his own team with a healthy transfer kitty.

12 Jan 2026 17:34:31
@JAA11 - I'm not "sensationalising" anything, I'm pointing out patterns. Calling Welsh back is the cheap option, whether you like the wording or not. He was sent out on loan because the manager didn't see him as good enough and considered him surplus. That's fact. You don't loan out a player you genuinely trust to be part of your plans.

Now suddenly he's the solution? That's not planning, that's convenience. It costs nothing, avoids spending, and buys the club time, which is exactly why it's happening. You can spin it however you want, but that's reality.

January being a hard market isn't an excuse either. Everyone knows it's difficult, which makes it even worse that we've left ourselves short again. This isn't bad luck, it's poor squad management. If you know strikers are scarce in January, you don't wait until January to fix it.

You mention "upsetting" a striker or gambling on someone out of form, that's exactly my concern. That's reactive recruitment, not strategy. We keep ending up in this cycle because we don't plan properly.

Now, on recruitment because this is being twisted. I was very clear I was talking specifically about the Rodgers period when I said recruitment was bad. Not a decade. Not historically. That timeframe. And it wasn't bad because of volume or randomness, it was bad because the calibre of players coming in was often below the level required, business was left too late in windows, key weaknesses in the squad weren't properly addressed, and aging players who should have been sold weren't, which has now caught up with us through injuries and decline. That's not revisionism, that's exactly what happened.

On Maeda, let me clarify again because this is being misrepresented. I didn't say he should be sold. I said he may be sold to offset spending, and that's based on financial reality, not opinion.

Celtic's revenue is projected to drop from around £145m to closer to £100m going into 25/ 26, largely due to board mismanagement and failure to capitalise on Champions League participation. In 26/ 27 we'll need to comply with UEFA sustainability regulations, meaning spending limits will be based on previous revenues.

So the club has two options. Spend very little now, which reduces future obligations and lessens the need for sales, this is what I think is most likely and would consist of small transfer fees and loans. Or spend big now, which we can afford, but because that spend is amortised over future seasons, we'd need to increase revenue to stay compliant. That's where a high-value sale like Maeda becomes relevant as it would offset that for next year.

That's not nonsense, that's how modern football finance works. Clubs sell assets to support squad investment all the time.

Interim manager or not, good clubs plan beyond individuals. If we're relying on recalls and loans because of uncertainty, that just proves the lack of structure I'm talking about.

So no, this isn't a narrative. It's criticism based on evidence and until the club proves otherwise, it's deserved.

10 Jan 2026 21:41:53
Sydney Van Hooijdonk 6ft 3, 25 year old ST. According to flashscore he is out of contract in the summer. Currently vauled at £1.3m. Plays with NEC breda who are bottom of the league so wouldn't too difficult to sign this window. I believe we were linked with him before.

10 Jan 2026 23:36:33
5 in 16 not worse record.

10 Jan 2026 23:27:29
Bhoy88,

he's had a lot of clubs for a 25 yr old and I don't think his scoring record has been great in the last couple of seasons.

We need someone signed to bang them in, no doubt about it, but I don't think young Sydney is that man.

11 Jan 2026 05:49:16
Great to see you start a non-"BR is the cause of every problem" post Bhoy. You were bordering on "madman" status for a while there 😂. Almost thought you were guruAndy in disguise.

11 Jan 2026 12:37:25
He snubbed us for Norwich as well. Kvittsgarden is at Norwich wasting away as well.

Remember his club wanting ridiculous money for him.

11 Jan 2026 12:48:35
I thought you were going to say something positive for a minute there when I seen the word ' Great' 🙄.

11 Jan 2026 19:27:53
Jeez, Bhoy was just throwing out some ideas. You would have thought he was throwing insults around reading above.

Frankly signing any striker with two feet is a better prospect than Kenny (sorry if you read the forums Kenny! )

10 Jan 2026 20:00:22
Yousef Salech, 6ft 5", 23 year old Danish ST top scorer in League 1 for Cardiff valued at approx £3m.

10 Jan 2026 20:31:42
What about him?

10 Jan 2026 20:40:38
What about him? , have we declared an interest in him?
Drewzybhoy.

10 Jan 2026 20:49:09
A think thers a note of interest in there manager.

10 Jan 2026 21:11:40
Just me doing a bit of scouting😁.

11 Jan 2026 11:10:20
Scout a bit better Bhoy88.
Firstly it was the lad braga from hearts and now its a player in englands 3rd teir and a proven flop in SVH.
You honestly think these are the calibre of player that will progress us especially in Europe?
Your recommendations fill me with more fear than Tisdales.

11 Jan 2026 12:49:38
Gives us some names then Derry?

11 Jan 2026 13:23:31
Derry spot on i want us to be going for a calibre of player that's capable of helping us to the next step and not just keep us competitive in Scotland lacks ambition for me. The lad Braga does look ok but i feel if he was facing a better Celtic team he wouldn't look as good and it wouldn't even be a conversation worth having.

A few boys in Scotland i like but he's not one of them. HH.

11 Jan 2026 14:12:20
We signed Gary Hooper for £175k from the English lower leagues and he turned out ok! Just because players play in certain leagues or haven't had success elsewhere doesn't mean they won't turn out well for us.

11 Jan 2026 18:00:12
A club celtics size should be trailing the likes of troy parrott, franculino, jonas wind. there's 3 off the top of my head. Our board have no ambition so unfortunately it will continue to be of the calibre you have mentioned.

11 Jan 2026 18:03:40
Also gary hooper was signed from the championship and had a much better scoring record than this guy.

11 Jan 2026 18:15:22
It was £2.4m from Scunthorpe. He was one of the top scorers in the championship at the time for a poor team. This ST search will be tough, we may need to gamble on a goalscorer in a lesser league with one of them. As for an established ST we would need likely need to pay Idah money to please the fans which is unlikely with the surgery needing doung to this squad.

That will likely be the new managers task in the summer. I know I said about Bowie as an option but I was thinking the fee would be around the £3m mark not £6m+ he was playing for my local team Northampton a couple of seasons ago, £6m is silly money for what will be a 2nd choice ST imo.

{Ed007's Note - There's rumours in France that we have agreed a loan with an option to buy on FC Lorient's striker Mohamed Bamba.}

11 Jan 2026 18:45:35
I mention players within our budget you have just mentioned the likes of Dju and Parrott knowing fine well we have zero chance in getting them as they are well outwith our budget and try claim you mention a higher calibre of player but the board have no ambition to sign them.

11 Jan 2026 18:46:27
Is the Championship not the English lower leagues?

11 Jan 2026 19:32:15
Added to the right conversation this time!

Jeez, Bhoy was just throwing out some ideas. You would have thought he was throwing insults around reading above.

Frankly signing any striker with two feet is a better prospect than Kenny (sorry if you read the forums Kenny! )

11 Jan 2026 19:34:07
Bamba looks decent Ed. Not quite worked out at Lorient for him but would score for fun for us. A guy that scores with headers too which we've lacked.

{Ed007's Note - One of the reasons it caught my eye was that Dudu Dahan is his agent....

11 Jan 2026 19:51:42
You know what, I was trying to think of his name only yesterday 😂 Some Facebook page was saying we was linked with an Israeli player and I thought I wonder if it was that agent we used to deal with alot. The name eluded me at the time. Thanks for the reminder 😂.

{Ed007's Note - 👍

11 Jan 2026 23:46:59
@bhoy88
The 3 players i mentioned ARE within our budget but our board want you to believe different. We are sitting with nearly £100m in the bank so we could afford to buy the 3 players mentioned and have at least half that left over.
And don't give me that pish about FFP rules either.

We have the money sitting there, its there to be spent.
Fans like you with no ambition contributes to the club being held back as the board feed of this type of fan.
Aim for higher, you and the club deserves better.

12 Jan 2026 01:31:01
Spend half of our money on three players C'mon surely you're not serious😂.

12 Jan 2026 07:56:06
Jeez am making the point that that's how much we have in our bank going stale.
Anyway i would rather spend 50m on 3 strikers than penny pinch like bringing back an injury prone dud in stephen welsh that's on loan because no one wanted him permanently.

Or shop in englands league 1 for a player that's got an average goals record at best.
Honestly mate, have you any ambition at all?
Where do you honestly want to see the club in 5 years time? Tell me.

10 Jan 2026 19:28:59
Hibs have apparently put a £6.5M price tag on young Bowie.

10 Jan 2026 19:32:24
Hope they get it from someone; that's transformational money for the hibees.

10 Jan 2026 20:46:31
He's a good player with potential, but is he worth a punt?

11 Jan 2026 00:48:17
Not 6.5million, that's first team striker money for us. If he 3 or 4 million then we would give him the ba k up role . But not for the money the hibs want.

11 Jan 2026 09:17:13
Agreed 6.5million makes the deal a non-starter. I do rate Bowie but he is not at the required level to be our number 1 at this moment in time.

11 Jan 2026 11:12:04
I would be ok with bowie but only as third choice forward. It would be up to him to prove himself and climb the ladder.
But not at the price being mentioned.

11 Jan 2026 12:02:44
Not at that price.

10 Jan 2026 18:50:47
I've mentioned his name on here previously Joel Pohjanpalo 6ft 1, Finnish international valued at €3.9m, plays for Palermo in Serie B. Top scorer in the league.

10 Jan 2026 20:07:27
Sure he flopped at higher levels. No better than Pukki in my opinion.

It's a sign of the times but we are either signing young players and hoping for a player or will sign either the Hibs or Motherwell strikers.

10 Jan 2026 20:31:22
Absolutely nothing wrong with signing players fae motherwell or hibs.

10 Jan 2026 20:56:40
We have signed some great players from Hibs and Motherwell over the years,
Broony, Pat Stanton, Gary Caldwell and Anthony Stokes from Hibs, Joe McBride, Dixie Deans, Brian McClair, Andy Walker, Scott McDonald, Stephen Pearson, Phil O'Donnell and David Turnbull from Motherwell who all done well for us, I actually think Josh Mulligan and Kieron Bowie would be good signings for us and would do well .

11 Jan 2026 00:50:03
You have Gary Caldwell as a great player . He had a square head who just headed the ball up in the air. He was a liability anytime we played.

11 Jan 2026 11:54:50
Never said there was anything wrong. Just saying that's our levels now that or hoping a young player turns good.

A decent team but it shows how weak our squad is when Celtic need to list 2 right backs who can't alternate on our bench.

10 Jan 2026 14:04:34
Surprised to see Araujo start as I'd heard he wasn't match fit, but it was clearly time to not only go back to a four, but drop Ralston. Shocking state of affairs that we are in the second week of the window and the quality still hasn't been added to such a weak squad.

10 Jan 2026 22:23:48
Araujo was brilliant today, aye rusty here n there but with match fitness etc he will become better. Cannot stress how relieved I was when I seen us with 4 at the back.

09 Jan 2026 21:54:10
A story suggesting MON is keen on Hibs 21 year old Zambian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa.

10 Jan 2026 10:49:51
Hibs will charge us a fortune for him, like they quoted us 6.5million for Bowie I think it was.

10 Jan 2026 11:12:06
It Maloney that has been watching him seemingly.

09 Jan 2026 15:24:02
Brighton don't have a recall option for Ferguson for his loan at Roma. If we are to sign him we'd need Roma to cancel their loan agreement with Brighton.

09 Jan 2026 23:18:46
He's starting to hit form. He will be staying at Roma.

09 Jan 2026 14:30:00
Looks like Kyogo is a NO GO

Fine by me, now go and get Bowie from Hibs.

09 Jan 2026 15:21:01
Hibee mate of mine tells me mulligan is the star of hibs….

09 Jan 2026 15:23:24
Tim sorry but Bowie is not the answer, back up maybe.

Agree Jaa, I've posted the same a few times this week.

Get Bowie and Mulligan in from Hibs, they could play a part in the tebuild of the first team squad which will be needed this summer (IMO) .

Need better than Bowie.

09 Jan 2026 16:38:58
8 in 27 not a standout for me, back up definitely.

09 Jan 2026 17:33:19
Giakoumakis should be our man.

09 Jan 2026 17:46:55
Bowie is probably on par with Kenny in terms of ability.

09 Jan 2026 19:05:13
Would love to see GG back, also like the look of Diabate who we were linked with, who plays in Sweden, or maybe Maswanhise of Motherwell. Would love to see us get a couple of strikers.

09 Jan 2026 20:25:05
Gg can't get a game for his Mexican team or the Greek team he was loaned to, how about we look at the guys keeping him out the teams.

09 Jan 2026 21:33:56
Should be looking for tried and tested guys like big Edin Dzeko.

Would people be happy with Bowie if another came in like Ferguson on loan. He's better than Yamada and Kenny and while not the finished article yet would be a solid rotate option. In terms of home grown quota for Europe I'd rather have someone like Bowie in the squad than the likes of McCowan, Ralston or Murray. Same goes with Mulligan.

Bowie seems a good player, but not ready to be our main striker, throwing him in now and he doesn't hit ground running would kill his Celtic career before it had even started.

10 Jan 2026 12:00:02
Would be mental to pass up any opportunity to sign Bowie. The guys a workhorse, gives 100% in any game I've watched him. Holds the ball up well and would score goals definitely, would be a great fit for us.

There's a Dutch CB who's been linked with Sevco who has shades of VVD, 10 years ago.

He's 6ft5, 23 years of age and came through the Barcelona and Chelsea youth academies.

He currently plays with Volendam in Holland and may be approching the final year of his contract.

Sounds like an MON player to me.

09 Jan 2026 14:09:05
Pretty sure we were linked with him just before we signed lagerbielke.

09 Jan 2026 17:08:12
We were linked with him the first year Rodgers came back as well.

09 Jan 2026 16:43:07
His team in a relegation battle with 1 of the worse def records.
