It will be all about Defoe and what a great sining.

Whatā€™s the deal with Boyata you bhoys think a bids maybe about to come in? There will be a few twitchy chairmen and managers down south just now? Maybe get some cash after all for him. or. he maybe just has an injury?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - Boyata hasn't trained this week so I assume he's injured.}

23 Jan 2019 22:16:44
Wishful thinking on my part blew a chance last summer to get good cash for him all be it he has performed well but Ajer and Benkovic looked good together tonight both new boys clicking. The passing had more zip in it tonight and the newbies got ran over eventually by Killie. So a grand Wednesday night so it was šŸ™‚šŸ€.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2019 00:03:54
I reckon Ajer realises now he needs to want it more and fight to harder to be first pick. Hopefully this is the opportunity he can take ala Christie. Ajer and Benko did look good however it was against one of the worst teams to grace the SPFL in recent times imo. Having Bain in goals definitely gave the defence the option to play out with confidence. He had nothing to do but was like an extra defender with his passing and control and confident play.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Jan 2019 08:38:21
Tbh I've seen some people criticise Ajer but I can barely remember him making loads of mistakes. For his age and a boy who changed position he is very good ability.

He's better than Boyata imo who makes constant errors in big games but gets praised for strolling it against likes of Hamilton.

Any ideas where the game can be streamed from tonight? šŸ™.

Anybody having problems with the stream?

23 Jan 2019 21:39:43
I did, watched the first half ok, then froze then lost it completely. šŸ’©.

23 Jan 2019 21:44:44
YA Unfortunately island celt IT kept stopping. Pain in the arse. Great result on two fronts.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 22:01:35
I ended up watching 2nd half on u tube
Poorer quality but stayed on all the way

Great performance, sinky looks likes heā€™s going to enjoy playing with weah - some great movement between the two.

Shocking refereeing again.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 22:44:58
Pretty much held its stream for whole match. Few refreshes.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 23:07:27
Usual refereeing mate. let's them get away with dirty tackles until the very end of the game and then hands out a few bookings when he knows it does not matter.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Jan 2019 07:49:57
recently I have found Youtube ok for catching games.
Quality and commentary so-so to crap but fine otherwise (some of the so-called "experts" are a pain to listen to anyway)

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 17:01:43
Any team news?
I think

Gordon
Lustig. Boyata Benkovic lzzy

Brown. McGregor

Forrest Christie. Sinclair

Burke.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2019 17:41:01
I think we might go 3 last the back and play Weah up front with Burke.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 13:14:20
Remember the kid zyro that tore us apart for Warsaw? Went to wolves and disappeared. Always thought he was going to be a massive player in years to come and that we should have signed him. Think still on wolves books but never kicked on back in Poland on loan a think.

{Ed007's Note - I'm sure he's got a long term injury mate.}

23 Jan 2019 12:19:51
Whatever happened to the old addage that the only players available in Jan where rubbish, and that we should never spend during this window, it was generally thought a few years ago that you only bought problems in Jan. We have 37 first team pros on the books, we should be outing 15/ 18 of them now, and achieve enough savings to buy in a 2/ 3 first team/ first choice defenders in the summer, quality players will be available before the CL qualifying starts,

The hard bit is outing 15/ 18 players, Where are they going to get the same money we"ll be paying them.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 13:02:54
Would you buy any of our drose.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 13:08:48
Most of our drose as you put it would walk into every other team in the SPFL.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 13:34:11
Shug what are you on about; any team outwith perhaps the top 4 of the EPL would have any of our "dross". Not sure how your Sevco tribute act will get on punting the dregs they have. Just sayin.

Very true, heard Man utd and Arsenal are sending scouts to watch the st Mirren game tonight to see Johnny Hayes and Gambia in action if fit!

For me this season was always going to be the most difficult getting our ever younger squad up to the rigours of playing every week with the sizeable expectation we all demand.
If that mob want to throw large amounts of money to recruit 30+ to deliver a challenge but leaves them in a bigger mire at the end of it then good for them. We need to continue on sourcing and developing young players for forward planning. If that means we stumble across the line until these youngsters grow into it then I can live with that.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2019 12:40:23
We should be a big enough club to do that AND sprinkle some proven talent in there.
Keep hearing we need to clear out first, but weā€™re only replacing them with more of the same. The reality is that most of the projects wonā€™t be first team regulars but that doesnā€™t mean we stop trying and will be realised over time. The issue is we canā€™t disregard the present and glaring deficits in the current playing squad.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 10:32:19
Looks like we have got the Ukrainian Maryan Shved! Apparently we were the club he was talking to the other day meaning he did not travel with his team and deal should be wrapped up within next few days (believe this is being reported by Ukrainian media)

Realise we have got quite a few attacking options but from small amount Iā€™ve seen boy looks like very tricky winger. Can play left but prefers right, cutting in and is left footed. Bhoy certainly can score goals as wellā€¦ could be a very promising signing.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2019 11:34:26
My issue with this is BR seems to be contradicting himself. He says we won't bring in defenders unless they're better than what we've got or will go straight into the team but will we have an attacking 4 of Weah, Burke, Shved and Bayo? I highly doubt it.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 13:38:25
Ok realistically how many top class defenders are out there who we could afford and who would want to come and ply their trade in Scotland. Genuine answers and names to that simple question would help me understand all the negative posts that monopolise this site, particulary in transfer windows.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 14:48:07
That's up to the scouting team Loyal and it's also not the point. BR has stated he will not stockpile players and then brings in 3 attackers with potentially another one on the way.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 01:20:16
RB will not be in this window and for the summer it will be right back in the scouting department to get wan.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Jan 2019 07:25:29
Well if thereā€™s no RB or CB brought in in this window thatā€™s not a project and is a first 11pick then Iā€™ll be disappointed. That then leaves us a very short period of time to get business done for the European ties, then again we normally tend to try and negotiate those ties then try strengthen so will be nothing new. Bearing in mind come the summer, benkovic will be back at Leicester, boyata will more than likely be away, lustig could be off, gamboa will hopefully go, hendrys not yet at a level to be a first team pick for me and I donā€™t think brendan rates jozo that high. Big building job needing done with that defence, and thatā€™s not forgetting Gordonā€™s not everyoneā€™s cuppa tea either.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 10:36:23
A lot of the time the players you want are not available in January (so the media mischief makers stir-up stupid spec) and it's not wise to 'settle' - like we have before and regretted it.
There is still a week or so left to do business and at present we have roughly THREE players for every position and need to reduce the squad before we look at adding permanent signings.
On top form; there is more than enough ability at the club for continued success and if you look at the pluses, we have added three more attacking options - when you consider our domestic defeats were only by one goal; (two by 0-1) .

The defense has been an ongoing headache for a while now - even before BR - and some of the additions have been questionable to say the least; so we do need to wait for the right player (s) .
Losing Boyata and Benkovic in the summer is a fact and the Board must have learned lessons from last year and will need to act quickly to avoid the same unrest, disharmony and failings of last year; or there will be severe consequences for everyone.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 13:39:57
Hard to disagree with what you say OAB. Like I say my biggest worry is our defence situation, itā€™s glaringly obvious to most where we need strengthened and how long itā€™s been needed. We most definitely need to offload big time aswell, problem with that is getting some out the door although between whatā€™s left of this window and the summer I fully expect to see a good few being moved on. I just hope that if it doesnā€™t happen this window then it really needs to happen in the summer with the defence.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 13:40:23
Affordable and realistic names of defenders please!

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2019 16:09:36
Itā€™s irrelevant who we name and at what price. Thatā€™s up to Celtic and the scouting system to sort out, thatā€™s what theyā€™re job is. Us fans could rhyme off name after name but the only players that will be brought to the club will come directly from the club, not because a fan throws up a name.
