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.
1.) 30 Jan 2025 19:48:49
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.}
2.) 30 Jan 2025 19:58:04
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.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 20:04:42
Ralston in a left back if needed probably.
4.) 30 Jan 2025 21:11:32
Shocking preparation.
5.) 30 Jan 2025 21:39:58
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.
6.) 31 Jan 2025 09:10:32
Hi all, first time posting.
Reo actually played most of his youth career and I think under age international football at LB.
7.) 31 Jan 2025 09:25:12
We have extra cover in Reo, played most of his earlier career at LB.
Hi all, first time posting.
8.) 31 Jan 2025 06:09:30
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?}
9.) 31 Jan 2025 08:15:22
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.}
10.) 31 Jan 2025 11:29:09
Montgomery will be the back up LB if we don't get anyone in now.
11.) 31 Jan 2025 13:23:25
The Fábregas connection at Barc would have been a big factor.
12.) 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?}
13.) 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 ?.
14.) 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,? ?.
15.) 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?}
16.) 31 Jan 2025 21:18:22
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.
17.) 01 Feb 2025 00:01:58
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.
29 Aug 2024 07:43:55
Morning Ed, hope your well. I know we were interested in the winger from lazio which looks to be dead now, but in your opinion would you take Ben doak back? Would that be a possibility? Also I get you get fed up being asked about potential signings, but what business do you expect done between now and tomorrow night mate? Cheers Ed.
{Ed007's Note - As far as I know the Engels deal is done and apparently the hold up has been money the player is due from Augsburg, they wanted Celtic to pay that in exchange for a lesser sell on percentage.
The Auston Tufty deal has also been completed or is just being finalised. Apart from those two I expect another midfielder (McCowan/Alvyn Sanches?) and a winger on loan.
I still wouldn't be surprised to see another striker brought in once Rodgers sees who's available as the window gets ready to "slam shut".
Celtic and Leicester have both spoken to Liverpool about taking Doak on loan but it would a no from me, apart from him buggering off he isn't going to improve our squad and I'd hope we are looking at a higher level of player than him.}
1.) 29 Aug 2024 12:24:17
It’ll be McCowan, but with all due respect he is not a Celtic game changer ?.
2.) 29 Aug 2024 12:48:54
Cheers Ed, appreciate the info ??.
{Ed007's Note - ????
3.) 29 Aug 2024 13:49:59
I wouldn't be adverse to Engles ? and mccowan who for me could definitely do a job and would only get better. we definitely need a cb so fingers crossed eds right and we can get them over the line. and we can all get back to normal especially ed.
4.) 29 Aug 2024 15:08:38
Engels deal done apparently ???.
5.) 29 Aug 2024 15:14:52
Are we going to get a triple or quadruple reveal tomorrow then?
25 Aug 2024 20:33:19
Alex valle. any truth I this Ed?
{Ed007's Note - Looks like there is Garry.}
1.) 26 Aug 2024 08:18:01
Is the bhoy any good?
2.) 26 Aug 2024 08:32:55
Ed, any rumours about Palma. Saw report regarding social media post he put out, suggesting he feels he is being left on fringes of first team.
Might be the usual misreading of a comment but this is a guy I think has a lot to offer the team, maybe from more of a midfield role as opposed to winger.
{Ed007's Note - If Celtic get an acceptable offer for Palma they won't stand in his way, I think his agent might well be looking for a loan back to South America.}
3.) 26 Aug 2024 16:20:59
Cheers Ed, thought he might have succeeded but clear BR has his own type of players in mind, which looks promising if we get Engels.
{Ed007's Note - ??
31 Aug 2023 11:41:32
Palma signed, Nat philips coming in, same with Bernardo. would seem there's a possibility for another two before the window closes. if we can get another two in, which positions would you guys like to see brought in? HH ??.
{Ed007's Note - I'd like a GK and a striker but I think that's just wishful thinking lol.}
1.) 31 Aug 2023 12:05:58
A real quality left back is required . I like Taylor but most teams know he is our weaklink .
2.) 31 Aug 2023 12:31:00
A striker in the John Hartson mould and a battling midfielder like Devlin of Hertz (only better) . J.
{Ed007's Note - Like a Sydney van Hooijdonk?}
3.) 31 Aug 2023 12:55:45
Any news on Podence, Ed? The links have certainly died down but don't seem to be going away completely.
{Ed007's Note - I think we've been priced out of any move for Podence but as the clock ticks down clubs and players do lower their expectations to get moves over the line. I wouldn't hold my breath, Kev.}
4.) 31 Aug 2023 13:11:48
For a goalkeeper why don't we offer Sevco £3m for Butland
It would help us and give a financially strapped club some much needed cash lol.
5.) 31 Aug 2023 13:13:36
Think striker could be down the pecking order with oh back and maeda could be used there. lb with a bit of height and a keeper for me as benji could be away.
6.) 31 Aug 2023 14:43:37
I wouldn’t mind us signing SVHD. Seems like a good first time finisher. If he is out of favour, we could offer a loan with an option to buy. Hedge any investment.
7.) 31 Aug 2023 14:56:45
A LB is an absolute MUST!
An out and out goal machine too.
8.) 31 Aug 2023 14:15:10
I’d like a striker tall with a bit of physicality about him, and a no nonsense DM…… not had a player do the real dirty side since brown left……. and being greedy I’d have liked another keeper brought in to really push hart out his comfort zone…… does the Sydney van hooijdonk rumour have any legs ED?
{Ed007's Note - I've been trying to find out mate but I couldn't say for definite either way, sorry.}
9.) 31 Aug 2023 15:16:19
A left back and a goalkeeper.
06 Jul 2022 07:42:18
Morning ED, what's your gut feeling on the Vinicius Souza situation? Do we have a real realistic chance of getting this lad in, or are we going to have to look elsewhere? Cheers mate.
{Ed007's Note - It was always going to be a big ask to get Vinicius Souza in at Celtic but until either party walks away there's always a possibility of it happening but I wouldn't be holding my breath on it.
PSV want to buy him along with Ajax & Club Brugge, Fenerbahce are struggling to finance the deal and on top of that any move to the UK would require the complex problem of Souza's third party ownership would need to be resolved.}
1.) 06 Jul 2022 14:11:56
I think it's time to move on, I'm sure Ange has plenty of other targets of the same ability. Just look at what happened when McGree turned us down, we brought young O'Riley in who is a very good player.

What a performance from the bhoys and rodgers last night. to a man absolutely superb. to start that campaign with a 7-1 thumping in Germany to being 20 seconds fae beating the German league leaders over 90 mins, the experience rodgers and those players take from it is invaluable. if we can keep that team and add 3/ 4 bits of quality in the summer we can have a real go again next season. Ed, what's the chances of us giving rodgers a new long term contract?
{Ed007's Note - It's been rumoured for a while that DD has spoken to Rodgers about a new deal so hopefully that's true and there will be something announced before the summer, we don't want to go into next season with Rodgers only having one year left.}
1.) 19 Feb 2025 12:39:18
Cheers Ed, my thinking exactly. get a new deal for him on the table right now.
{Ed007's Note - I'd imagine that Rodgers wants assurances that the recent transfer window debacles will be a thing of the past, there is no way he will want to stay here if the board continue to fail getting him players he wants.}
2.) 19 Feb 2025 13:22:30
You would imagine that Rodgers is going to be savvy and wait and see that the club are willing to continue to invest.
BR has done an incredible job and deserves the backing. I don’t seeing it being an issue as we will most likely bring in between £40 - £70M in transfer fees this summer.
The issue is replacing with a similar quality of player to that which we sell.
3.) 19 Feb 2025 13:54:11
Edd a value your opinion as always, do you think the board are to blame for a CF not coming in on Jan, a think a read it sumwer BR spoke to the CF he wanted personally but couldn’t convince him to come in Jan.
{Ed007's Note - Brendan Rodgers publicly stated many times that he wanted a striker brought in to replace Kyogo in the squad, the failure for that is on Tisdale & Nicholson.}
4.) 19 Feb 2025 14:09:48
Surely for once the board need to realise we've a top class manager, he said he wanted to improve us in Europe and I'd say in the main this campaign he's done so. come the summer if we can keep our best players and add 2/ 3/ 4 bits of quality rather than the usual 6/ 7/ 8 signings with potential that we don't need and fully back rodgers we can really kick on. the board have to back rodgers not just sit back and think this is this teams ceiling.
5.) 19 Feb 2025 14:48:01
ED007 and guys DD was pictured at the Bayern game last night
Let's hope he has made arrangements to meet the Board and Brendan to discuss our summer transfer budget and what our manager wants to bring in player wise.
With our healthy bank balance and circa £46m made from our CL adventure, surely there is no reason not to reinvest some of the CL money on the team.
My worry is our Board usually sell a big name player to fund transfers and the obvious player is Kuhn, who was already on the radar of big european teams.
6.) 19 Feb 2025 14:54:37
So proud of the team. Celtic you were magnificent. Over to you Board to back our manager in the summer.
7.) 19 Feb 2025 16:59:28
I think there has been quite a change in our transfer dealings since BR got his feet under the manager’s desk this time round .
BR has told us clearly that he has the last word on players before we sign them .
Under Celtic’s old regime it was very easy for CEO, who was for example given names of 3 players that recruitment wanted us to sign one of them, CEO could and often offered club far too little and if price could be agreed, continue by offering the player too little. CEO could repeat and explain that he had done his best but couldn’t get any to sign. He, in the meantime had his favourite agents recommend a couple of players and manager worried that he wasn’t getting his position filled took player CEO offered .
BR is different, he won’t accept 2nd best, that’s what I interpret is what he meant when he said he had final say . CEO cannot play wee games with him as he knows BR has a standard of a player in mind and won't accept less . Last summer and Jan recruitment recommended a couple of strikers that BR agreed too, he dug his heals in and refused any inferior options, so despite BR saying in middle of window he needed a new striker, replacement for Kyogo, he couldn’t get standard he wanted and did without . That’s a big improvement than our old way.
04 Feb 2025 05:57:06
morning Ed, I get your point on kyogo and him ask8ng to leave for rennes, I even get rodhers and folk that say there's no point in. keeping a player that doesn't want to be there, I totally understand all of that. what I don't understand is regardless in this case kyogo being sold and not replacing him even with a loan till the summer given rodgers himself stating he wanted a striker in. surely if your using the big club mentality you don't sell one of your best assets without replacing him first or at least be 99% sure you've a replacement ready to come in? Kyogo didn't seem the type to spit the dummy and go on strike to get his move. he wasbunder contract and IMO should've been told ok you want to leave, that's absolutely fine, but you go nowhere till we can replace you, and if that can't be done mid season then we'll happily role out the red carpet for you in the summer, but in the meantime your under contract, be professional, work hard for the club that gave you your move to Europe and you'll go with our best wishes in the summer. I just find it ridiculous we've sold what was arguably our best striking option, which rodgers himself obviously thought given the games he played ahead of idah, and we've not replaced him. I cannot wait to hear rodgers take on the business this window, given he stated there's good options available in january if your willing to spend, coupled with the fact he stated he wanted another striker in. be very interesting to hear what he has to say mate.
1.) 04 Feb 2025 11:59:35
Getting £10M for a 30 year old Kyogo was great business especially after his last 18 months.
The Celtic Board however should not have left us short up top.
How good would it be if Brendan played Jeffrey as a striker and he started banging the goals in.
What’s the chances?
30 Jan 2025 16:05:28
Ed, highly unlikely in this window now. but from the summer going forward, do you see rodgers ever looking at bringing in the DM that most would agree we could badly be doing with?
{Ed007's Note - Not while CalMac is an important part of the starting XI, it's him that it would be replacing unless he moved McGregor up field a slot which I thought he might do when he brought Engels in, that was position/role in at Augsburg.}
1.) 30 Jan 2025 16:35:46
I thought Bernardo would be the CDM that we need.
2.) 30 Jan 2025 17:09:16
Bernardo ain't physical enough we need a unit that can pass.
30 Jan 2025 06:35:38
I just think against the level of the opponents you play in Europe it's so nieve of us as a club not to have a no nonsense DM Broony/ Lennon type. we continue to play Mcgregornin that position but he's never that type of player, absolutely wasted playing him there. ange donenit cause ange simply didn't do defending, but rodgers managed celtic when broony played every week, he should know the importance of that position, and not to have addressed that is a joke for me. big positive onmlast night for me was idahs 2 goals, hopefully he takes massive confidence from that and kicks on now.
1.) 30 Jan 2025 08:06:19
The strength and athleticism of the Villa players was always in evidence last night, but these are expensive commodities.
Idah showed both in his goals, I thought: brilliant for him. I also thought Celtic demonstrated in their comeback and containment that it really is a team game, and with a suitable coherence and tactics we can minimize the inevitable gulf in quality between our team and the elite teams in the competition.
Maybe Rodgers throwing on the juniors was with reminding the power-brokers at the club that it is a squad game?
2.) 30 Jan 2025 08:33:36
I get why he put the young ladbup front on as after losing kyogo we'd no other alternatives, which makes losing kyogo before that match all the more baffling, could we not have held onto kyogo till after last night's match? The other young lad who came on at the back, I'm sure both would've enjoyed the experience, but at any level his mistake for villa's 4th goal is ridiculous. at celtic we're always going to be a work in progress especially at that level, therefor we need to strive to get better quality to come off the bench, and equally in these games we need our best players available at all times, unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 17:11:45
I think Villa are a physical fast team in the EPL . Because of their physicality Villa were probably a very difficult team for us to contend with . If we had our full squad with even Maeda and CCV available, we would have been more competitive in the last 15/ 20 mins .
It was by watching the match again on Celtic Tv, I picked up the injuries, I hadn’t noticed them during match.
4.) 31 Jan 2025 15:59:35
Certainly the no nonsense centre midfielder taking no prisoners will have plenty of games to sit through in SPL . A Celtic player putting in a hard tackle in SPL will get a card of some colour
Celtic playing in the SPL are at a serious disadvantage playing in Europe. This season we had the normal European player diving and rolling around every. time a Celtic player went close to him . Refs normally obliged with free. Celtic player s have no reason to dive and roll as they won’t get a free .
Var isn’t helping us in Europe either, Cal Mac tackle was perfectly fair as ref viewed whole incident, Maeda’s yellow was right for same reason. This wk VAR should have ruled out penalty for the nothing tackle by Trusty.
23 Jan 2025 19:41:42
I'm all for jota coming back, but to basically swap kyogo our main striker for a winger I don't get it.
{Ed007's Note - Why are you all for Jota coming back?}
1.) 23 Jan 2025 19:48:23
Do you not rate Jota?
{Ed007's Note - I did, what's he done since he left Celtic that you still do?}
2.) 23 Jan 2025 19:53:08
I'd rather Kyogo had stayed. Bit fed up with us constantly selling our best players.
3.) 23 Jan 2025 19:57:21
Tried and tested proven goalscorer reqd not a project or was good x amount of years ago and hope he can return to that . would jota bring more to the team than maeda? Hopefully maeda isn't leaving and jota is his replacement.
4.) 23 Jan 2025 20:05:58
Deep river boy. Meada could be Kyogos replacement got a feeling he might play through the middle and jota on the left. I think meada is our top scorer this season.
5.) 23 Jan 2025 20:10:32
Ed, he's went and made himself a fortune, a fortune no sane minded man wouldve turned down. in football termsbhes done nothing, but if he comes back and plays like he did in the main last time round I'll take that. what I don't get is why we basically swap our best striker to get him. but I respect your opinion on jota Ed, same as KT, doesn't mean we all need to agree.
{Ed007's Note - That's my point, Garry, Jota has been away for 18 months hardly kicked a ball in anger and we're all hoping he's stalled and is still that same player of 18/24 months ago... he was miles off the finished article when he was here and I don't see why he will have improved in his time away.
So if we can have the KT of 6 years ago and the Jota of 2 years ago everything's dandy?}
6.) 23 Jan 2025 20:11:37
One report I've read suggests we sold Kyogo for 12M Euro and Jota cost 10M euro.
Whatever the fees, I'm sorry to see the wee man go as he's been great for us and some of his play and goals have been brilliant, top drawer and played every game with a smile ?
If we replace him with a quality striker it would soften the blow.
As for Jota, if he signs and can find anything like the form he had with us previously, then he'll win games on his own.
We just need someone up front to stick it in the pokie.
☘️ ? ☘️.
7.) 23 Jan 2025 20:31:05
Was thinking that but can he consistently deliver as a main striker? So pushing him out of a position he's doing great in this season to accommodate Jota could prove bad move.
8.) 23 Jan 2025 20:37:50
Agree drb. Let’s hope we go and sign a quality striker as one is badly needed.
9.) 23 Jan 2025 21:06:48
Idah plays ahead of Maeda through the middle surely. Although Maeda playing on the shoulder of CBs that aren't pinned back is an interesting one.
Jota WAS a better than Palma is. I'd back him to still be. That's what I'm thinking about Jota. Better competition and better depth is better for us. However 10m for depth is steep and this just seems a bit odd.
10.) 23 Jan 2025 21:23:44
Think you are being a wee bit unfair on Jota ED.
He went for life changing money which would set himself and his family up for life and then his manager got sacked a couple of months later.
I'm sure the same thing happened at Rennes, that could happen to any player.
I for one am buzzing that Jota is back and can't wait to see him on one wing and Khun on the other.
{Ed007's Note - And all that improves him as a player and us as a squad how? He's rich, the Saudi move mess was nothing to do with a change of manager and the current Rennes manager says he is lazy and a poor trainer... but all that can happen to any player, maybe Celtic can find more like it.
People are asking why Kyogo would leave Celtic to join a team struggling in the French league but I'll ask why Celtic are signing a player that can't get into a team struggling in the French league, he's 26 in March and has done hee-haw for 18 months, we've actually managed to find a player who has played less games than KT in the last 2 years.
Does anyone have Boeriggter's number?
11.) 23 Jan 2025 21:30:28
@ed - there is always an unknown element with every transfer, even a player who was here previously.
I am happy to give Jota a chance, although I am slightly uneasy with such a big outlay on him and would have possibly went for a cheaper option.
12.) 23 Jan 2025 21:42:07
Ed other than what looks like KT and Jota, any idea on who else is likely to come in?
{Ed007's Note - I really don't mate apart from what's out there, sorry, I thought this was going to be a quiet window with a winger and maybe a CM brought in but in the last 24 hours it's went crazy with rumours.
13.) 23 Jan 2025 21:48:43
You seem a bit raging about this ED, maybe you are wishing the transfer window shut tonight.
{Ed007's Note - I stopped raging about transfers years ago, there's far more important things in life.
14.) 23 Jan 2025 22:15:50
Aye, like Manchester staying in one piece.
15.) 23 Jan 2025 22:40:51
The one position that's baffled me and hasn't been addressed is the role Broony played. he left, mcgregor is then pushed back one which in my opinion happened 2/ 3 seasons too early for mcgregor as he's better further forward, how can we not have replaced a guy like broony.
{Ed007's Note - I've said that for years, losing Brown and the switch from 4-2-3-1 has impacted the team and especially CalMac, he thrived with a proper CDM beside him allowing him to get the ball and control the attack.
16.) 23 Jan 2025 22:32:28
I’m with you on this one Ed. Disagreed on KT as you know because he was Scottish, but this move is poor. Are you really telling me that we’re looking at a guy who hasn’t played for 18mths and been dropped for two different teams (who are below Celtic standard) coming back and taking us to the last 16 of ECL? This is poor. On a free, yes bring him back- or even bring him in as a loan and see if his heads in it. If we’re paying the type of money that’s been touted then this is disappointing.
He was cracking for us, but surely there’s another young prodigy out there that we could get for 10m and sell for more than double? This doesn’t fit the recruitment model, the financial model, or the seasons ambition.
{Ed007's Note - That's far too sensible an outlook
17.) 23 Jan 2025 23:01:43
I think it might be a case of Celtic or rather Rodgers, wanting Jota in, rather than Kyogo wanting away, because of the Japanese work ethic, Kyogo would always give his all untill his contract was up, but Celtic have made a suggestion to him about moving to Rennes, and that takes the all wrath of the fans off the Celtic board or Rodgers, and onto Kyogo, I think it's madness letting Kyogo, we could be kissing the league goodbye aswell.
18.) 24 Jan 2025 00:48:13
Celtic could play with a false number 9 for the remainder of the season and still win the title by double figures ?.
19.) 24 Jan 2025 06:28:28
I think the reason we haven’t replaced Scot Brown by a similar type player is that in our manager’s opinion, he doesn’t want to . I think. BR is absolutely delighted with Cal and his approach to a game and hid leadership role . Cal carries out BR on field decisions impeccable and I don’t think Celtic are looking for a Brown replacement.

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?}

I'm all for bringing jota back buzz, but not in a swap deal for kyogo unless it's £10 million plus jota. celtic don't need to sell whereas Rennes are desperate to sign kyogo plus get rid of jota, so I hope celtic work the best deal possible for the club. but I'll say this, if we do sell kyogo this window then I hope rodgers and the club have a quality striker coming in. we don't need another expensive project, we already have that in idah.

Stevie I wouldn't be overly concerned about it, he might be 80 but he's a football man and will still know a player when he sees one HH.

Always looked like oriely would go this summer, but gutted it's actually happening now. but when i think back to last summer, we sold jota for £25 million, starfelt for £4.5, then in january we sell abada for £8.5 million. now we're selling oriely for £25+million not to mention the fees for Oh, Haksabanovic, Lawal, etc etc etc. the money in transfers alone since brendan came back in just over a year is staggering, that's roughly £70+ million without counting champions league money, season ticket sales, new strips and merch and finally the up coming champions league packages at a reported £200 a whip. what we've brought in in that same period on the playing front doesn't come close enough to being good enough, not when our manager continually tells us we need quality and experience.

Jota hasn't played much football before coming back, get a good pre season under his belt he'll be flying next season. khun most definitely doesn't deserve a start on Saturday, and in all honesty could consider himself fortunate to even make the match squad. being subbed after 45 mins twice out the last 3 games is bloody ridiculous. as for the CM. I agree on hatate, hisbtimes up at feltic and looks like a gut going through the motions, has done for a long time now. As for engles, I still can't see what type of midfielder he is, I get he's young and raw but for £11million I'm expecting a bit more than he's shown. I've said it constantly now for long enough, how any team can lose such an influential player as Broony was for us, to not have replaced him is criminal. we've shoehorned mcgregor into his role and it's not his best position. yes mcgregor is getting on now, but he'd be far more beneficial to the team playing up 1.we so badly need that no nonsense broony/ lennon type in the midfield. watching hatate and engles every week is wasted jerseys. surely this weekend bernardo and mccowan need a run out and get hatate engles and khun out that starting 11.

I think calmac is suffering big time this season down to the fact he's in the main playing with 2 headless chickens in that midfield beside him. Hatate flatters to deceive and has done for long enough, and engles? Does anyone categorically know what type of midfielder he is I'm sorry and I get he's only 21 and in a new country, but for £11 million surely we should be seeing more? I'm not expecting the finished article, but other than taking a decent pen I'm yet to be convinced by him. our midfield is that stagnant that if you watch Trusty and CCV they play pass the parcel back and forth game in game out with no one other than calmac from midfield showing for the ball. so so poor to watch.

Such a poor poor free kick to give away. but our defending from set pieces all round is abysmal. if Kennedy and rodgers can't work to make that better then go hire a defensive coach.

Like it or not weejoe, KT is yer incoming LB.

Perdo couldn't agree more. of course everyone has there opinions, be a boring world if we all thought the same, but for me rodgers has the chance to really write his name into the celtic history books. IMO he could go on to be the best manager the clubs had since jock stein. If we can get him on a long term deal, with the finances the club have, and providing the board back him and his vision, he could be the manager to get the 10 in a row, all the while improving yearly on the European scene which we all crave. get him a deal sorted ASAP and hope the board share his vision and ambition.
