Reports saying KT won't be back till summer with arsenal putting a block on him moving this month. begs the question why we let valle leave when it now looks like we need to go get a LB on a 6 month loan.

After Bernabei was sold, U don't know whose Idea and decision it was that Valle had his loan terminated. I've just heard the report that Tierney is not available until the end of this season. Does that mean we may have to arrange YET another loan?
{Ed007's Note - Looks like it.}

Mb the same as the Cf situation BR might think he has cover ther at the club that can cover until summer ie Scales lb Maeda Cf.

Ralston in a left back if needed probably.
30 Jan 2025 21:11:32
Shocking preparation.

We can't do anything if Barcelona cancelled his loan unless we have paid a fee till the end of the season then I think we have a say but if we didn't pay anything then I don't think we do.
{Ed007's Note - There was no recall option, Celtic agreed for Valle to return to Barca to allow the Como loan deal. It's a disgusting way for both Celtic & Barca to treat a young player, we'll get some money back on the loan fee.

Hi all, first time posting.
Reo actually played most of his youth career and I think under age international football at LB.
31 Jan 2025 09:25:12
We have extra cover in Reo, played most of his earlier career at LB.

Totally agree Ed, what's disgusting for me is allowing Valle to go when he's settled into his surroundings for 6 months, now we're linked with a 19 year old fae man utd who if I've read right is just back from a long term injury. this LB position at celtic is like the poison chalice. why didn't we just keep valle to the summer if the deal for KT wasn't happening this window Between selling kyogo before that villa game and now this nonsense, WTF is actually going on?
{Ed007's Note - It looks as if Greg Taylor will be leaving in the summer and with Hob Nob Hips due in we are still going to be a LB short, so why not get the other new LB in during this window and give him time to settle in?}

Did Celtic agree to it as they were expecting Tierney in January Ed?
Thats the only thing that makes sense to me. Its actually pathetic decision making IMO. The kid was excellent and i'd have signed him permanently if it was possible.
{Ed007's Note - That's my thinking, DT unless of course Valle forced it which I doubt happened.}
31 Jan 2025 11:29:09
Montgomery will be the back up LB if we don't get anyone in now.
31 Jan 2025 13:23:25
The Fábregas connection at Barc would have been a big factor.
31 Jan 2025 15:51:45
Not a bad shout that Ed. As you say with all the restructuring in the scouting department ect surely they have more than just a former player that would interest us.
{Ed007's Note - It's a ridiculous situation, what's Dr Football Tisdale & the scouting team actually doing?}
31 Jan 2025 15:52:38
So much for "being stronger" Brendan when this window shuts. Bernabei Palma Kyogo Valle gone. No doubt a loan at LB and a mad scramble trying to get a centre forward if the Scandinavian lad isn't brought in. Shankland ?.
31 Jan 2025 16:07:10
Why do you think Liam Scales has come on at left back a cuppla times recently and young Dane Murray is suddenly in the squad after being recalled from Queens Park,? ?.
31 Jan 2025 19:31:32
Celtic have rarely done well with left backs. Tierney being the only top class one I can recall since I began watching Celtic in the early 80s.
{Ed007's Note - Tom Boyd?}

Perspective guys we win trebles n doubles we ain't winning champions leagues so let's enjoy the ride lot of good nights n memories out there.

Hopefully, we will have players in before Monday night . It doesn't make sense spending plenty of money in the summer window and even in January to leave ourselves very scarce in some positions . We wouldn’t think losing. Bernabei and even Palma weakened us much.
