Celtic Rumours

26 Apr 2024 10:51:24
I don't know how true this is as i don't use a lot of social media
and wanted to ask if anyone has read or heard anything on this, i was Listening to a podcast and they were saying that Brendan had attended a get together with certain season ticket holders and supposedly this has came from 2 separate people that attended the get together.
Brendan was mentioning the signing policy.
What they said was that Brendan had been told by Calmac and Nicolson that the signing policy had changed and a lot of the signings were at very advanced stage and that he had trusted what he was told and gave the OK to the Yang, Lager and Rocky signings.
The also mentioned that Brendan has been given more control of all Football matters and that the "only sign player under 23 and under £3m" has been scrapped and we are looking at players in the £5-£6m bracket. I know it's not a major jump but we did get Jota and CCV for £6m and if we get 4 or 5 players of that quality, it would make a big difference to our squad
As I said I haven't read anything else on this so maybe someone else can confirm.

Jonbhoy 71 . I have no doubt that your post is accurate and plans are afoot to sign some players at a slightly higher price than recently . What I don’t expect is Celtic. Football club to really embark on a spending spree and spend about £40 on 7/ 8 players in the summer window . Maybe a bit over half of that on about
4/ 5 players .
Why I think our spending will be nearer £20m is that we have removed M L and his sidekick and not replaced them and we are now in last week of April .
If we are going to spend high with these positions vacant, then why would we fill them in future .
Nothing to do with your post Jonbhoy71 but I think just like the past few years there has been far too many posts between windows linking us with far too many players that are valued far exceeding our normal price range . These posts give us inflated expectations of what we can expect to buy during window and our disappointment is all the greater when we come up far short.

{Ed007's Note - I've also heard and read that Rodgers told the investors meeting that Palma doesn’t fit into his system or his style of play and doesn’t really have the skill-set he looks for in a wide player.
Lagerbielke has never impressed in training and that Nawrocki - who was actually only brought in as a squad player to back-up CCV & Starfelt - is never fully fit, no matter what the coaches do with him.}

Wee des.
Like I said, I hadn't heard or read anything regarding my post before and just listened to a podcast today where they were discussing it.
If you want to listen for yourself its from (ACSOM - The big decisions facing Brendan Rodgers ahead of trip to Dundee) .
You can get it on youtube. They said on the podcast that 2 sperate people who attended the meeting put the details on Whatsapp and other platforms
Going from ED's comments regarding the investors meeting, It sounds like the same meeting they guys on the podcast were discussing.
I also never mentioned spending £40+m 7/ 8 players in my post, I did say IF we get 4 or 5 in the £5-6m bracket it would make a huge diffrence.
Also, maybe the reason Baby Lawwel and his sidekick hasn't been replaced yet is because as my post does say, Rogers has been given assurences that HE has been given more control of ALL football matters.

{Ed007's Note - I was thinking about this earlier, Jon, could it be that our future Head of Recruitment and his team, maybe a DOF or Sporting Director be at another club that don't want them to leave until the end of the season or contractually they can't leave until then?
They could still be working on deals for Celtic and hopefully we are already at the talking to agent stage of at least some deals that Rodgers wants done which won't need any 3rd party input.}

Cheers ED for the confirmation of the meeting.

{Ed007's Note - 👍👍

Miovski spotted in Ashton Lane maybe he was through for signing talks 🙏.

Hopefully just getting an overpriced bite to eat.

Very much doubt that tbh. New Aberdeen manager would have to sanction deal and offer would have to be made and accepted by Aberdeen board. I think he’s good enough to be 1 of 3 main strikers at the club and if value was £3m I would go and get him but if they start wanting more then it’s not good value.

23 Apr 2024 19:52:18
I'm same as you gggg and 3m would be top end.

23 Apr 2024 20:24:34
He's did well against us and sevco this season with better players I think he'd be worth a punt.

24 Apr 2024 01:06:58
As our main striker Mally? Do you think he can take us to the next level? I'd honestly rather sign Idah, as well as another main target as I can see Kyogo away. If we got Miovski he'd need to be 2nd choice but I can still think of 2nd choices I'd rather have.

24 Apr 2024 09:53:10
Kyogo idah and miovski wouldn't be too shabby and let oh leave.

24 Apr 2024 18:22:50
Henke I honestly don't think we are going to get to the next level. Come the end of the summer window if it's a successful window then we will have improved the team/ squad but I seriously doubt it will suddenly make us capable of doing damage in Europe. I think the only people that are interested in taking the team to the next level are BR and the fans, not the people running the club.

24 Apr 2024 20:50:42
When we've been paying £2M for 'projects' I'd think Miovski would be worth more than £3M given the goals he's scored this and last season and I'm sure Aberdeen will be looking fir more than that - I would if I were them. 🤔

How much do you think Norwich will want for Idah? I'd bet it will be more than £3M, is that good value?

Sadly, I have to agree with your post limerickcelt 🙏

We shouldn’t judge Miovski on the way he has played against us . When playing for us he won’t come up against one half fit centre half . Instead when playing domestic football when the ball comes towards him he will have a blanket defence and any player trying to find him with a pass will also be tightly marked.
Having said that it looks like Miovski Idah and Kyogo would be a good front three and give BR options to be less predictable .
Limerick Celt . We can go into next season in Europe hopefully of improving our recent record . Individually and collectively we can play better, with some players better than our weaker players and better luck we can move ourselves up a notch and not finish bottom or 2nd bottom of our bigger group.

I heard a rumour that the sfa are being investigated by uefa. I don't know what for specifically, and no idea if this is common knowledge (I don't live in Scotland so hear less than most)
