Thanx for the replies below lads, am actually a Everton fan who wants Celtic to be a great club again and attract big players, I don't personally like Rodgers for obvious reasons but I think he will be a good appointment up there, we have a few youngsters who I think would benefit from a season on loan in Scotland Tom Davies and kieron Dowell I think would boost your first team, Davies is only 17 and is twice the player Joe Allen is haha c'mon lads you don't want red cast offs do yas?
1.) 20 May 2016 21:15:22
We don't want your kids either.
2.) 20 May 2016 21:56:38
Our kids would walk in your team mate no disrespect but there top draw mate.
3.) 20 May 2016 22:17:42
Johny I was at the Everton v Southampton game last month, Davies came on in the second half and i thought he did really well i said at the time he's going to be a player, I expect him to get more game time with yourselves next season.
4.) 20 May 2016 23:28:03
Johny, if they're so top drawer, maybe you should let them walk into your team - given how gash you've been the last 18 months.

I would love our team to be full ov our youth next year mate the likes ov Davies Dowell Connelly Kenny ledson and grant but can't c a new manager giving them all starting roles with the influx of money into our club, I am genuinely not disrespecting your team hear I am just reading that you would be happy with the likes ov Joe Allen, am just saying Davies is twice the player and Allen would cost in excess of 5-7 million I would say then would want 30/ 40 grand a week, would it not make sense to look at loaning young talent for a massive fraction ov the price, rangers new cm rossiter got absolutely bullied by Davies twice last season when head to head in the u21 derby so if he's good enough then trust me Davies would dominate games in the middle of the park for yous.

Good enough for Rangers and good enough for us (given how strong we are in that department) are two very different things.
I'm not against loans, Roberts has been a breath of fresh air, but not to the detriment of our own youth. Ajar and Henderson are both young, promising midfielders who have over 100 first team games between them. They should be pushed forward over the next season.
As for Joe Allan, he would bring experience to said youth. Not that I think we are getting him but tonight's been an exciting night - so I won't piss on that bonfire.

Do u think Rodgers will go to Liverpool for players and who do u realistically c coming in now u have a hight profile manager?
1.) 20 May 2016 19:21:59
Not unless its youngsters we are after. The way prices are going down there even fringe players are going for £10mil+. Wouldn't mind Kolo Toure if he is a free agent though. Scott Sinclair could be an option if we are going down the route of players he has worked with. Linked with Danny Graham recently but I wouldn't want him. If we are to sign an experienced striker I'd much rather have Steven Fletcher.
2.) 20 May 2016 19:25:14
I think he might go to Liverpool for ibe or Allan get rid of some of our deadwood free up some space for really good players and finally a proven manager not a project manager let's hope he is allowed to appoint his own backroom team.
3.) 20 May 2016 19:44:01
I do not think we could tempt Ibe, but I think Allen might be his first signing, Ibe's wages I am told are around 45k now, so a fee and that on a long term contract might be a bit rough.
4.) 20 May 2016 20:26:10
When is this rubbish with fletcher going to stop.
The guy is a dud.
It's his agent should be the one celtic employ because how he got him the moves and money he has is a miracle.
5.) 20 May 2016 22:04:27
No chance Celtic will sign fletcher . Rodgers is the manager who wouldn't play the player Liverpool paid 35 million for in Andy Carroll.

If you lot came down to the English league where would you see your team finishing up, realistically
1.) 03 Oct 2015 00:30:17
If we had access to the type of money available down south, add to this the size of our fan base, stadium etc then we would eventually be challenging for the CL spots and also the title imo.
I'm not going to say we would win it every season because look at the size of Manchester United and they're struggling to keep up with Chelsea and Man City(Albeit Chelsea are poor this season but in general over the last few years)but we'd definitely be up there. For sure above your tottenhams, Evertons or even Liverpools tbh. But it would do in cycles between the biggest teams having their moments of dominance and then the power would shift to another one of the big clubs eventually, that's the way usually works.
2.) 03 Oct 2015 01:02:31
Above yours within 5 years
3.) 03 Oct 2015 09:45:45
Not doubting in time us would b up there I mean with your current squad
4.) 03 Oct 2015 10:46:06
I think with the current squad we would finish just below halfway.
We couldn't compete with the Chelsea's and Man City's of this world, but I think that given a little time to adjust, we would be able to beat teams like Sunderland, Norwich, Bournemouth, West Brom, and teams like that.
I think that given 5 years or so with the money we would get, we could be challenging the top 4, I think Celtic as a club and Scotland as a country would be very appealing to a lot of top players.
That is providing that this current board would be willing to spend any money.
5.) 03 Oct 2015 12:19:26
first year I could see us just staying up next year mid table same as the year after that then top 4 and stay there
6.) 03 Oct 2015 12:39:29
The current squad is one of the poorest we have 'assembled' for a long time (especially the defence) and we would be a relegation candidate - without investment and recruitment.
7.) 03 Oct 2015 13:16:34
We wouldn't even start wih the current squad with 100 million to kick off I am confident even Peter and John park could sign some quality players. On the other hand if we had been in the EPL for the last five years we may have a team with Wanyama KI Ledley Matthews Forster Van Dyck and Hooper with a bit of luck top six would be realistic
8.) 03 Oct 2015 13:38:07
Celtic will not be moving to England. It's that simple. We have a clever majority shareholder who plays the epl card anytime there are other issues to be addressed. Like why start a season with 2 strikers. Why do you feel the need for a yes man manager instead of backing the guy or getting in a guy with a back bone. Why is it only sponsorship season ticket and prize money that's invested into the team why do you never put some money in. All questions I would love to see Mr Desmond answer but no let's talk about the epl again. Any Celtic fan who wants the club in the epl should never question guys like hooper ever again. Hooper gave up trophies for the epl. Celtic would have to do the same. I am happy playing in Scotland but with some proper backing we could be cl last 16 and double or treble winners every season. Not chasing top 10 in epl.
{Ed007's Note - I'm with you, Gary, I can't see a move to England ever being possible, a European League yes but not us joining the English League, UEFA won't allow it and it would open up moves for Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern etc all to apply to join any league they wanted to as well including the EPL.
I also don't want it to happen as I'd rather see the Scottish game improving on their own merits, the EPL and CL are a cancer in the game that is slowly killing football. The overall standards of the EPL this season is shockingly bad for the money that people are earning, boring mundane games with over hyped pundits trying to kid on that the game is entertaining with cliche after cliche about the 'best league in the world', who are they trying to convince?}
9.) 03 Oct 2015 13:45:23
Agree jungle Jim! Mid table with that team! No chance.we would be relegated from the EPL with that team! Over the course of a season we would really struggle! Weak up top and even weaker at the back! Relegation material for me!
10.) 03 Oct 2015 14:28:21
I've said this on here before the over hyped epl is the major part of its success. If you tell enough people how good a product is then more and more people will buy into it. That's why so many people get subscriptions to TV networks to fund the whole league. It's the total opposite in Scotland we go to people and say look we know this is rubbish but will you throw us a bone anyway. I said this months ago when we had no sponsor I think the rights should've been sold to match room on the cheap with a consultancy role for Eddie or Barry Hearn because people will dis regard them as arrogant cockneys but they know how to sell a product and I think they could've done a fantastic job in turning the game round in Scotland.
{Ed007's Note - It doesn't help when our own media feel the need to constantly talk our game down either.}
11.) 03 Oct 2015 17:01:02
the media always talk the game down when Celtic are winning the league, they never run it down zombies are doing well.
