Ossonde, £7m? Maybe somebody will pay that but we won't.

21 Jan 2018 00:04:35
I disagree I can’t see how anyone would Pay £7m for Edouard. I’m not even sure he’s worth £1m at this stage.

21 Jan 2018 17:23:53
Agree ice man, all be it tentatively. If his shooting boots are on the lad is dangerous. If we were solid across the mf and the back and could afford a top 2. Him and db could rough up any cl defence. Dreaming a bit here.

20 Jan 2018 18:06:28
So according to reports the three best players in Scotland today outwith Celtic were.

Scott Allan (Dundee)
Nadir Ciftci (Mwell)
Gary Mackay Steven (Aberdeen) and Ryan Christie got a double :-P.

20 Jan 2018 18:41:51
That’s 4 🙂 is Morgan any better than Christie? When is Allan’s contract up? Ciftci never in a million years gms his confidence just drained away at parkhead at Dundee Utd and the sheep he tries things he attacks players he takes a risk never did that in the hoops?

I liked him too a typical wee tanner ball Scottish winger. We have lost our way with the squad dynamics but lucky we have a sizeable squad with the level of injuries we have? Apparently Brendan saying Moussa didn’t play down to not being right mentally due to speculation or with Moussa it seems like lack of speculation as he has been pish this season.

20 Jan 2018 18:54:09
I think Christie is the natural replacement of rogic. The clock must be ticking on rogics Celtic career because he can't stay fit and spends far to many games in the stand.

20 Jan 2018 19:00:22
Wholeheartedly agree mate.

20 Jan 2018 19:10:36
Strikers need games. Moussa has not featured a lot all season. Injury put him back. If he got a run he would come good again but would maybe take 5 or 6 games. Agree he is going backwards right now. We could have an issue for the Zenit game. Griff injured edouard not the answer. So if dembele is going to be any use in Europa he needs game time. If he does go then we need to buy a proven goal scorer and that means breaking our transfer record. Now how much is Moussa worth? I rekon he would be sold for £15mill and a 25% sell on.

20 Jan 2018 19:23:32
Be more than 15. Will be nothing under 20.

20 Jan 2018 19:39:27
We will see Kev. Last season i would have agreed but i can't see a club going to £20m. We might not sell him for under that so if that's the case he stays and would need to rediscover form of last season because right now he don't look like a £20mill player. Walcott went to Everton for around that. Barclay to Chelsea for £15mill. Crouch to Chelsea for reported £10mill.

20 Jan 2018 19:41:57
I think Christie will play for Celtic next season

In answer to the follow up both Ciftci and Allan have another year after this season but three of the four CAN'T play against us so that will do me for now as they hinder other teams around us

Morgan can play and skin a player and got a real good eye for goal can see the comparison to Christie and probably get sent out on loan again next season IMO.

20 Jan 2018 20:53:03
Thought both looked good today Christie could do a job for us now and Morgan has ability just needs games and experience to be a bit more of an accomplished player. Unlucky not to. Score today but did get an assist.

21 Jan 2018 02:59:06
I really don't see Christie as a wide player. Think to get the best out of him we should play him in the hole behind the striker.

21 Jan 2018 09:10:00
Even if we sold the mousse for £20 million I very much doubt we would ever see or spend the funds on improving or squad so just as well keeping the guy.

20 Jan 2018 14:11:11
Just heard the Team. We should really be looking at a minimum of six, given Brechins form and refreshed players. You cannot get an easier start to the defence of the cup.

20 Jan 2018 18:02:18
I bet 6-0 😣 Och well i will cheer myself up listening to all the rumours about Dembele.

20 Jan 2018 21:05:00
Not sure if it's rumours Pud. BR has said there has been 2 enquiries. Time to punt him if he can't get his head together to play against Brechin.

21 Jan 2018 17:21:34
I think it's probably Rodgers not wanting to risk him if a sale is on the cards. Surely dembele would've wanted to play at least to have a chance to say cheerio.

20 Jan 2018 13:29:06
First time loaded with flu keeps my interest reading from all hoops. I want celtic like everybody invest but you got to look at boy Christie if you invest will he get a fresh start next season. Looks a player. What's everybodies opinion?

20 Jan 2018 13:54:32
I feel he will always look a good player at any other SPL club. Today he looks a far better player than Morgan who has looked average at best.

Don’t think there is one player out with our squad that is capable of stepping up to the level we need.

20 Jan 2018 14:02:24
Watching the Aberdeen v st mirren game would agree about Christie l really looks like he could be a good un have to say disappointed with Morgan know you can't judge on 1game but have to say GMS looks a better winger on today's display but no way will Morgan challenge Forrest, Sinclair, Hayes when fit or PR for awhile down the road in my eyes another project player for BR to work on, right nearly time for the real game.

20 Jan 2018 17:00:32
Christie will be a great player and play a big part next season in my opinion.

20 Jan 2018 18:06:10
Christie over Armstrong all day long for me. Since SA signed his extension he's been woeful. Mabe he looks good in a aberdeen shirt but he will replace Armstrong's empty one!

20 Jan 2018 19:20:02
Christie will never be a regular Celtic player . Brendan Rodgers would never have agreed a second loan spell to Aberdeen if he had any plans for him at Celtic.

20 Jan 2018 19:47:27
Chris i think we need to give him a run. I think we are too quick to bin players. They need game time. GMS at Aberdeen is playing great but he is getting game time every week. Everyone talks about the mentality to play for Celtic but the only way to get these players performing is to give them a run of 10 games from the off. Playing one week then on bench next does not work. We need to buy players ready to walk into first team and Christie looks to me if given a goid run he will do it.

21 Jan 2018 11:38:14
If we want to be better in Europe I also don't see Christie being in that bracket. If we want to flatline then he could do a job, but I wouldn't be happy. No harm to the boy, he is a good player, but as I said, that depends on how ambitious we are to become a CL team. If we move up a notch I don't see him being able to perform at that level. This window will tell us wether he will be back I think.

20 Jan 2018 09:39:48
Ok. Break over and back to business. We have to lay down a marker quickly and sorry Brechin, it should be you.

I would imagine the players will know themselves things were not good enough prior to Dubai, they are not stupid. BR has came out and stated we are stronger and better than this time last year, i assume he is talking sharpness and tactically as on pitch we were very iffy to poor.

I also think we have to be realistic and factor in fatigue. The amount of games, and remember the high intensity of CL qualifiers and group games, were always going to take their toll on some. But the fact remains some smell blood since the hertz game.

Sevconia is awash with good tidings at the signings. er sorry pay day loan contract registration of some players. None of whom could get into their old club. being honest i have no worries about any, although cummings is a player i always liked and will do well, as we still have better. One thing to remember is sevco will not be dropping silly points anymore. We need to silence everyone with a roaring start. That begins v Brechin.

20 Jan 2018 10:44:25
Well said Jedi I’ve tried stay off regarding the windows activities fact is yes for progression we need to strengthen but to beat the muppets in our league we are fine. Any player coming in needs to be an improvement and I wouldn’t take any that mob have. Quality not quantity. Mon the hoops.

20 Jan 2018 10:47:29
Another thing as much as I hate that wee rat naismaith there’s a player there fact he’s gone to the wee huns instead of his “boyhood heroes” says a lot for how their future is going.

20 Jan 2018 11:35:50
meant to ask. why is it FORMERLYGREENJHEDI and not just greenjhedi?
Is it a take on the mob over at ibrokes?

20 Jan 2018 12:53:10
Had to change it TT could not log on.

20 Jan 2018 13:12:05
Just curious at home fully refreshed against a team that is rotten .

Is anything under say 7-0 a poor result?

20 Jan 2018 13:39:50
Any win will do, as long as the performance is good I'll be happy.

20 Jan 2018 06:47:54
Here we go again another treble on the way 🍀.

20 Jan 2018 07:17:30
