I read sheff Utd have agreed a deal for mj, whilst I don’t think Celtic or Scottish football suited him, 2.5 million does seem a bit cheap. Especially considering how well he done at West Brom last season, . I would have thought we could have got around 5 million for him with the goals he scored in the championship last season.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 13:33:05
Prob tied in with the trusty deal.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 13:49:36
Or a near on straight swap with trusty coming the other way.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 13:49:51
It’s that old saying,
He’s only worth what someone will pay for him.

He spent more time in the physios room than Brian Scott

If it takes £5m and MJ to get Trusty over the line then it is what it is. Never seen Trusty play but getting someone off the wage bill who hasn't contributed much to the first team and getting a key position sorted out for £5m is fair business.

City have just announced that haaland is out for 8 games, does this accelerate kyogo leaving? Pep said today they had no plans to add to the squad unless there was an injury . This window could possibly be one of the worst in quite some time.
{Ed007's Note - Kyogo's new agent is a bigger worry than Haaland getting injured in regards to Kyogo.
1.) 24 Aug 2024 08:33:48
Nothing on sly about it.
2.) 24 Aug 2024 09:38:55
Mally, about haaland injury or kyogo? I was putting two and two together regarding kyogo due to what pep said in his conference. Then later that day haaland got injured .
Honestly this window is so depressing. How our board manage to turn everyone from being positive with how the teams looking to exasperation, all with 100 million in the bank ill never Know.
3.) 24 Aug 2024 11:52:55
Mate there's been nothing about haalland mentioned watched peps presser no mention and in fact city have signed another player who's name escapes kyogo trained yesterday so he seems fine.
4.) 24 Aug 2024 13:04:24
It was in slow sports news lol. Sent it to a few of the WhatsApp groups hoping people would take him out their FPL teams.
28 Jul 2024 22:29:35
Stephen McGowan of the daily mail reporting Leicester want Reo, he’s normally well informed on Celtic . Bit worrying with the season just about to start and the form he is showing, don’t really want to lose him.
1.) 29 Jul 2024 00:07:41
He's under contract until 2028 and apparently we've already knocked back an approach from Zenit St. Petersburg.
Like MOR, we need Harate and if he can stay fit sperhaps he can get back to his best this coming season.
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
2.) 29 Jul 2024 03:35:56
If hatate can stay injury free and stay fit he can be every bit as influential as o'riley. that's a big IF though.
Its not something that's been mentioned much and i don't think we have even been linked with much but we seriously need to bring in an experienced DM. I shudder to think of going into them European games with McGregor as our holding Mf again.
3.) 29 Jul 2024 04:40:24
I agree DT. I really thought, and hoped, that would be a position we'd get sorted sooner rather than later.
Question though: with a proper CDM, who drops out of that midfield for you?
4.) 29 Jul 2024 07:46:52
That’s all we need. Our board tempted with even more money for the bank balance.
5.) 29 Jul 2024 09:51:08
My opinion Hatate on form is our best cm.
6.) 29 Jul 2024 10:51:49
Henke it won't happen but id actually drop mcgregor. A fully fit hatate is better than mcgregor IMO.
Another option would be to play hatate or oriley further forward.
I actually fear that's the way it will be though as rodgers loves mcgregor dropping deep to collect the ball from the defence.
7.) 29 Jul 2024 19:57:35
DT, O'Riley would have to play. Between McGregor and Hatate I'm actually torn. McGregor is not a CDM. I get that domestically he is fine there picking up and driving forward but at CL level he's too slack in his passing and his timing in the tackle is best not talked about. Further forward he'd be sound. I get that an on song Hatate brings more energy and more chance of a goal. It would be a great headache to have.
8.) 29 Jul 2024 22:24:54
I like hatate but Calmac all day for me. People are saying a fully fit Hatate is our best midfielder? Utter gash. Hatate has had a handful of excellent games, a lot of good games. But also an enormous amount of games where he couldn't pass the parcel at the kids birthday. Plus he isn't close to having the stamina of MOR or Cal. Please guys prove me wrong but i see Hatate still living on the hoals he scored early doors agsinst the homeless mob. Can someone name a performance of note in the last season and a half?
9.) 30 Jul 2024 00:56:38
Love hatate and O’Riley for different aspects of their overall game hatate at Times his passing is precise and quick and really opens the game up for us plus can see a pass that Kyogo can read and if he plays well we usual or on fire. Orileys goal and assists the last year have been phenomenal and getting him involved in game we generally perform well and win. The only thing I’d say if they aren’t feeling it and don’t perform they don’t do the dirty side of the game get the boot in and break up the rhythm and both drift to the periphery of the game for spells. For me the most important member of our side is McGregor he sets the tone for the pace we play the players both mentioned above can only dream of having that desire and will to win and general tenacity that McGregor shows even when he’s not playing well or has misplaced a few passes. He starts every game for me while he’s fit and able to boss the midfield.
10.) 30 Jul 2024 08:28:13
I definitely agree lads that we need a solid, quality defensive midfielder in along with another solid centre half and someone a bit more physical than Taylor at left back, think this needs to happen for us to be more solid and difficult to beat in Europe, I’m sick of getting embarrassed and losing poor goals in Europe. Obviously nothing is a guarantee but being more solid improves your chances.
In terms of the midfield situation you guys are talking about, I think mcgregor is a must to start, he’s the captain and has such an influence on the park on the rest of the lads around him, he’s very good at holding the ball and playing out aswell. I think what we need to do in Europe is play a double pivot with 2 defensive mids with one attacking midfielder, this allows us to be more compact and doesn’t leave mcgregor isolated which happens far too often when hatate and O’riley play. I think we need more legs beside mcgregor to do the running as he’ll be 31 soon and he might be starting to lose a little bit of mobility, same as what happened with broony before.
I’ve got a feeling hatate or O’Riley will be away this summer if we get a big offer, not both of them thought if one goes then the other can play that more advanced midfielder I’m talking about in Europe, I’m led to believe Bernardo is a done deal which gives another option, time will tell though.
20 Jul 2024 15:44:27
At the start of the window there was stories we bid for both mepham and the Burnley centre back, was that all paper nonsense as it seems to have went quiet since regarding a centre back.
24 Mar 2024 09:37:09
With baby lawell going last month and his head of scouting, is there any rumours or news of them being replaced. Surely we need someone in with fresh eyes asap as we obviously need to replace quite a few players in the next window. The most part of why he was pushed out was that players he had put forward were not good enough, so it would surely be silly for the club to still work on his list of potential signings. I would like us to possibly look to someone like the lad rangers got from Holland, someone with a complete new list of targets . Dutch teams always seems to find players and it’s a market that isn’t too overinflated in price. Either way we need to find someone quick in my opinion.
1.) 24 Mar 2024 14:07:45
Hopefully the loss of ML will mean the manager has a bit more autonomy in the summer regarding transfers.
2.) 24 Mar 2024 17:19:05
Daddy L will just give his mate Duhan a call.
But seriously, we need to get a DOF in pronto, and someone that will be here after BR is gone.
It's crazy that every time a manager leaves, we go into meltdown.

Looking forward to coming back after the break, hopefully we can put the final nail in the coffin of Naismith.
1.) 02 Sep 2024 01:13:53
He might not make Celtic Park.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 07:37:23
It is a common occurrence in football when a team is not used to the extra demands of playing European football. In Scotland this year St MIrren, Kilmarnock and Hearts are both struggling because of this extra demand.
Think these clubs have to realise that it is difficult to manage the extra games on the clubs budgets, especially Kilmarnock and St Mirren.
Taking joy in the prospect of someone loosing their job is outa order. Its just complete bitterness.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 10:39:06
Maybe they will now let more of our fans in and get the extra income then.
4.) 02 Sep 2024 11:48:08
Couldn’t happen to a nicer person if he’s pumped, never seen an opposition manager creeping up to the Sevconian as much as he does. Any goal scored against them is never a good goal, it was mistakes from their players. I’m sure Roger’s will want to beat them as well, did they not beat us twice last season at parkhead? Something Roger’s will want to put right.
5.) 02 Sep 2024 13:11:48
My prediction for the diets match is Robertson will be referee and another currant on VAR. This will let Naismith instruct his hammer throwers to kick and foul us all day with impunity.
Still be a comfortable win but hope there are no injuries.
31 Aug 2024 17:23:58
Have they announced how much the champions league tickets will be?
1.) 31 Aug 2024 18:27:33
I heard £200 but don't know if it's true.
31 Aug 2024 08:12:46
Well in fairness I have to say the board did back Roger’s this window. Have we overpayed this week due to being slow and teams knowing we have funds possibly. Be interesting to see what trusty is like as sheff Utd fans didn’t rate him . Being greedy I would have liked another winger in ( jota would have been perfect ) but you can’t have everything .
1.) 31 Aug 2024 08:48:30
I doubt we’ve overpayed. Clubs have every right to command a fee just like us.
2.) 31 Aug 2024 08:49:17
I was raging this time last year but I’m happy with this window.
The Celtic board have backed Brendan.
It’s hard to get that 3rd striker to sit on the bench.
Maeda will be our 3rd striker but hopefully we don’t need him.
The recruitment team done a great job also with our outgoings and we also did well to keep the 1st team squad together apart from Matt.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 09:20:16
I'm not sure they did back him. Since January we have made around 50M in players sales but only spent around 35M.
28 Aug 2024 14:01:14
Two and a half days away from the window shutting, reiterating a post from earlier in the month . Who now is confident the board will support the manager and replace o Riley and improve the squad? Are people still confident?
1.) 28 Aug 2024 15:18:38
They don't have a choice - they have to or Parkhead will be a cauldron of mass anger.
2.) 28 Aug 2024 16:59:22
Do you think for a moment the board could care less what the fans think.
26 Aug 2024 16:03:34
So Matt’s first interview, he admitted he’s been talking to Brighton for two months. What have we been doing, not even preparing for replacements before now is amateurish .
{Ed007's Note - How do you know we haven't been talking to MOR's replacement - or other targets - for 2 months, what if we had bought say Engels and then nobody met our asking price for MOR?
You're using the fact it took two months for Brighton to meet Celtic's asking price on Celtic not buying a player's replacement - before he's sold, and people say "someone would have met the price", Atalanta, Atletico, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bournemouth, Leicester, Brentford & Southampton are just some of the clubs that baulked at the price.}
1.) 26 Aug 2024 17:17:40
exactly mark there's a lot more to it. it was always going to go down to the last week with mor and his replacement.
{Ed007's Note - ????
2.) 26 Aug 2024 17:44:53
I see your point Ed, but in the other side of that we bought Engels, strengthening our squad with the 80 million in the bank . It wouldn’t have left us short in monetary terms . Rogers intimated as much yesterday, that we should have brought in players before now. Also the other problem is now, that clubs. Know we have 26 million extra so the price goes up ( although they don’t know how our board works ) ?.
{Ed007's Note - What if Rodgers only wanted Engels if MOR was sold? You can't replace a player until he is sold or you know 100% they are leaving.}
3.) 26 Aug 2024 17:55:54
So was it 25 mill right enough? Can't see the price anywhere.
{Ed007's Note - It's been reported as £26m + £4m in add ons.}
4.) 26 Aug 2024 19:29:26
Do you know the specifics are for the add ons? Is so many appearances, euro qualification?
5.) 26 Aug 2024 19:33:52
Good money ?.
28 Aug 2024 12:19:55
I’ve been prepared for the “we tried patter but couldn’t just get it over the line, but we are already quite far down the line for the January window . ”.
24 Aug 2024 09:38:55
Mally, about haaland injury or kyogo? I was putting two and two together regarding kyogo due to what pep said in his conference. Then later that day haaland got injured .

23 Aug 2024 19:32:01
I don’t mind if we lost two or three but replace them with 3 quality players, even the manager said that the squad was bloated with players who aren’t good enough to make a difference when we have two games a week. He said we aren’t after another forward so I presume, centre back left back and maybe a midfielder .
22 Aug 2024 13:13:57
Maeda there was talk early in the window of Chris Mephan from Bournemouth coming in, although as per it’s gone quiet .
Him and o Shea are the only ones I’ve read about . Sometimes I wish we wouldn’t be linked with prem players as it’s obvious we can’t compete with wages they are on, so inevitably rarely get them over the line and signed. Then the board can say we just couldn’t get it over the line on a couple. What u mean they wouldn’t accept a massive wage cut to come and play for us ?.
22 Aug 2024 13:10:03
If Roger’s isn’t given the quality he’s looking for, he will walk. He’s said a few times already we need to strengthen for Europe, and the fans deserve the very best possible team they can have on the pitch. He’s basically pressured the board to make signings and if it’s not done he will go and I for one wouldn’t blame him. He’s doing a job with his hands tied behind his back. Last season our 11 were doing ok in most European games until changes had to be made, that’s a massive difference between us and decent sides. They make changes and at points it actually makes their side stronger, in Europe we become weaker as the squad isn’t good enough for it.
02 Sep 2024 11:50:49
Just had my two sent through 184 &144 . Don’t think that’s too bad in all honesty.
02 Sep 2024 11:48:08

02 Sep 2024 11:42:45
Great team performance yesterday, if I was being picky I didn’t think hatate had his best game, to me he didn’t look as comfortable further forward where o Riley used to play. I was surprised when the manager took off Bernardo and not him . Some of the work rate of kyogo and maeda was excellent . Kyogo running all the way back at one point to tackle one of the Sevconian by our box summed it up . They couldn’t live with our workrate and movement. I’m nearly feeling sorry for capt tav at the minute ?? maeda must be an absolute horror to play against, you think you are past him and he comes back from nowhere to take it off you . He’s frightening with his work rate and ethic. If he had a final ball he would be 40 million pound player and could play for anyone . You have to love their humility as well, the Sevconian are always giving it the big one, app capt tav has the biggest flashiest car in ipox, maeda who’s played at world cups, for his national team, won trophies galore, is putting up posts of family walks and kids parties. There is nothing flash about our players which is great to see . I’m sure rogers is also pushing for that with signings as you don’t want flash lads, like cantwell etc upsetting morale in the team.
01 Sep 2024 22:23:13
Again the var angle was crap, it was about 20 yards in front of the play, how can that be conclusive when it’s not even in line.
01 Sep 2024 22:20:13
He is mr excuse, Celtics average age compared to them, Kris Boyd “ Celtics average age was 27 Sevconian was 26 ?.
