I've read that young Kelly won't be joining the team on the pre season trip to the U. S. A due to him knocking back the latest contract offer.

For a boy that's achieved hee haw it's baffling how he wants to leave. there's plenty left and vanished. he should spend the next few years I glasgow learning his trade. boys getting some poor advice.

He will end up earning more but playing in championship or English div 1. Never to be seen again.

Pedro Mally this time I am with our Board
Apparently both Kelly and Vata were offered first team wages but they want to chase the bigger wages in the EPL
We may be disappointed that two young talents are leaving club but they may have done us a favour in revealing their money grabbing character, ie wanting big wages WITHOUT workng for or earning them.

What I've seen of vata I think he'd struggle for game time. Kelly is a unit but needs a lot of work.

It is absolutely mental how our fan base think Celtic is the be all and end all of football. This boy probably sees the crap pathway Celtic have gave him and realises his potential is best served elsewhere.
No wonder they are leaving, don’t blame the player blame the board and the structures they have failed to put in place.

BR has come out and said both got offered very good contracts and refused them. Clearly their agents are telling them they will get more elsewhere, which BR has suggested they won't but do they have a chance of getting more game time, I am not sure, neither of the 2 looked brilliant prospects to me and even if they had stayed, their game time would have been limited.
They just have to look at previous highly rated young players, such as Morrison who went to Bayern, never got near the first team and now at Watford.
BR has said Vata would have been his 3rd striker this season but that was not enough for him, so good luck to them both but I don't think I will be reading about thm amd wishing we had made more effort to keep them.

He will join that endless line of Academy “stars” that weren’t anywhere near stars, who have left and never heard of again. If he wants to piss about, let him go. He isn’t good enough either, like all the rest. Typical overhyping of these young guys. None of them could get into the team and that’s before we sign anybody, never mind after.
Not saying we will sign anybody, but if we do.
12 Jul 2024 15:14:30
100% correct.
12 Jul 2024 17:09:33
Ken if they're good enough they'll play why wouldn't they. kt and forrest and the like were good enough. who's left and went onto great things. kelly was getting in and around first team and the manager gave him advice he fancies moving on good luck. but you'll need it.
12 Jul 2024 18:01:07
Do you not think he would have came on leaps n bounds if there was an actual system in place to produce players Mally. Think how good he would’ve been if that was the case!

Aye, we should have spoon fed them a long a path to first team football. We should have prioritised their promotion above all else .
The one thing that BR is better than most managers is developing young talent . He had full view of both Vata and Kelly from before last Christmas when he brought them in to train with the first team squad . I am sure there are other Celtic youngsters of somewhat similar ability, who would be delighted to get a contract with Celtic and work exceptionally hard to fulfil their ability.

Exactly des. so brendan watches them day in day out and offers them a contract gives them advice on what they need to do to improve. that's the pathway at every club. the same way KT and forrest and maloney mcnanus odea ralston marshal all cane through. if they're good enough they'll play ?.
