Evening Ed, any craic with the links to Van Den Berg and Wjndal? Seem far too good to be true. VDB was one of the best young CBs in Germany last season and Wijndal has pedigree.
{Ed007's Note - Sepp van den Berg (CB) He won't get a chance as a starter at Liverpool and will most likely be sold in the summer to raise funds if a buyer can be found - could be a mistake by the club but the player has taken the position that he wants to move. There is no release clause for Mainz but they will have a first pick option if he were to be sold - and they have made their interest known and will look for an option to buy the player who has had a great season. They have already held talks with Liverpool. PSV, Brentford, Southampton and Wolfsburg offer options. He certainly burned bridges in an interview with De Telegraaf. Player now says he is being priced out of a move to PSV and is seriously miffed with the club. He says communication is non existent.
I'll try to find more out about Owen Wijndal, PSV have spoken to his agent but Ajax could be difficult to deal with.}

Owen Wijndal played for AZ Alkmaar when we played them in Ange's first season, as with all the players in the team he was a very tidy player.
The other two I really liked were Pavlidis who just went to Benfica for €20m euros and yhe Japanese right back Sugawara and he has just signed for someone in England I'm sure, can't remember who it is though.

Cheers big man, appreciated ?. When I think of BR being backed, the club bringing in a bit of quality and pedigree and with players they could still make a wedge on, these are the sorts of names want to see.
3.) 08 Aug 2024 07:21:36
Good shouts royjac. The ones that got away. I temember myself thinking about Sugawara and maybe Ange might make a move. He's ended up at Southampton you're right.

Anyway, I hope we have something in place to make it permanent and I'm confident we can beat Motherwell in the final.

Who would you play upfront tomorrow night? Bit of debate in a group chat with a few mates going on so just wanted to see opinions on here. In my heart of hearts I wanted a better striker than what we have for these nights but it wasn't to be. A few saying Kyogo's finishing has been poor and could cost us and that Idah deserves a shot (I get this argument) . But the football we're capable of playing with Kyogo's movement (Bratislava look slow at the back) could be the way to go.
I'm going Kyogo.
1.) 17 Sep 2024 17:30:20
I'd start kyogo.
2.) 17 Sep 2024 17:49:32
Kyogo but he needs to start taking a bigger percent if chances. he's probably missed 2 in every game this season.
3.) 17 Sep 2024 17:56:21
Defo Kyogo.
4.) 17 Sep 2024 18:08:57
idah. kyogos been rotten.
5.) 17 Sep 2024 18:38:30
I'd go with Idah.
6.) 17 Sep 2024 19:25:46
Poor game on Saturday but saying he’s rotten is bollocks. just scored in the Sevconian slaying and he scored goals in champions league last season against better opponents than Sloven.
{Ed007's Note - 2 goals in 12 CL games simply isn't good enough.}
7.) 17 Sep 2024 20:32:29
Seems about the same split on here too.
I fancy our chances either way tomorrow. I'm not going to show Bratislava too much respect, we need to go out there putting a stamp on this game. But against any side at CL level, whoever plays, they can't go missing one on one chances. They need to be at it.
8.) 17 Sep 2024 22:31:56
Buzz idah v kyogod stats?
9.) 18 Sep 2024 03:23:21
I was wondering Gerry, if somebody (wink wink Buzz) had conversion rates for the two.
10.) 18 Sep 2024 09:55:10
4 Celtic goals tonight. Kyogo will score two. Big game player.
02 Sep 2024 17:21:49
I've been quite critical in the past of Maeda's returns. Never questioned his work rate, energy and pace combined to be a great asset to the side, but just felt he should score more. He has since, started to score more. But most notably, he's enjoying himself more it appears. He used to be expressionless, never really celebrated. But now, he cheers with the crowd and has a smile on his face. Perhaps BR has done something, perhaps he's just more settled. But either way it's quite a relief to see. I still would have liked to see us sign a wide attacker but I have a wee gut feeling Maeda could have a great season.
1.) 02 Sep 2024 17:53:00
A cult hero.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 18:31:33
He stopped letting Delilah cut his hair.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 18:35:39
What he brings to team outweighs his weaknesses.
4.) 02 Sep 2024 18:46:53
DRB
Absolutely.
Every day of the week and twice on a Sunday.
5.) 02 Sep 2024 20:07:38
If Maeda had any technical ability he’d be playing for Man City!
6.) 02 Sep 2024 21:35:59
The improvement in Maeda (not to mention Kuhn, Scales, and Bernardo) is in no small part down to one of the best managers in business - BR!
He has a lot of qualities but making good players even better is his best one. And btw Ange had just about given up on wee Jamsie… look at him go now under BR ?.
7.) 03 Sep 2024 17:08:29
Defo a Cult Hero, JFP ?
Absolutely Ken, he'll still have a heavy touch, cross one into the stand and miss good chances but if he wasn't doing that, as you say, he'd be elsewhere. I just think he'll add to his game and there's definitely a change in his demeanour.
I like to think so Rogician, there's a lot I like about Ange, and there's a lot dislike about BR. But when MO'R says he preferred the man management style and atmosphere under BR no reason others don't either.
01 Sep 2024 14:59:51
After a poor start we got ourselves back into it and it was easy in the end. Just disappointed it wasn't by more.
I have to mention James Forrest. I have been one of his biggest critics but 500 games for Celtic is special and he's done something I'm sure all of us have dreamed of. We'll done.
1.) 01 Sep 2024 15:26:11
Well Done James.
He looked like scoring with 2 shots inside the first minute on the pitch.
12 Aug 2024 13:07:39
Fair play then Ed, cheers for the info.
{Ed007's Note - ????
22 Nov 2024 11:15:13
His legs look to have gone and he doesn't offer much defensively. I'm not sure I'd want to limit the progress of Engels and Bernardo for a player that turns 33 early next year. BUT, he'd still bring a touch of class and roatated correctly/ coming off the bench he'd definitely have a part to play and would add a real touch of class. Can't see it though.
18 Nov 2024 14:53:02
That's a fair price. He should stay with Motherwell until the summer though.
17 Oct 2024 16:51:18
If after being warned it will cause bans and somebody continues to do it then they're a bell end. Better to have fans with no flares than no fans at all.
05 Sep 2024 12:41:38
MIP, I thought it was quite good of The Rangers to rest Barron on Sunday ahead of his international call-up. Credit where it is due.
29 Aug 2024 16:04:50
Delighted with this signing but still need a couple of quality additions for it to be a 'good' window for me. Agree MIP.
05 Dec 2024 15:53:13
He's got a good nack for last gasp challenges like that. In small spaces he's quite quick both with his head and his body. He was class last night.
02 Dec 2024 13:19:58
They look a big physical side when I've seen them on highlights of this years CL. They'll no doubt try and make it tough for us but looking at the table, the factvwe're at home and now this, we should really be looking at 3 points if we're to show that we are in the competition not just to make up numbers.
{Ed007's Note - I fell into this trap in 2022 when we were playing Bodo/Glimt who we played on back of their two month long winter break and their loss of 4/5 key players.}
30 Nov 2024 08:53:51
Definitely Valle and Bernardo. I questioned us signing Valle. I still will if we're left without him come the summer but what a young talent he is. Barcelona would be daft to get rid of him if we're honest. And that's saying something.
27 Nov 2024 17:17:38
Agree with DT. They're obviously a handy side but given what we've shown, I'm looking for the win.
18 Nov 2024 14:55:33
Fantastic input over the years, from somebody who reads through a lot of the different club pages. Condolences to all friends and family. Rest in Peace.
