What areas do people think Rodgers plans on filling with his two "quality" signings that will help us push on in Europe? I think a winger/ forward to replace Roberts will be the priority (unless we can keep him) . Still think Onyekuru would be the ideal signing. Also think we'll go for an attacking midfielder who can pick a pass. Think we are sorted defensively.

Think we need another quality CB and quality striker to back up the 2 we have and if paddy goes a wide man with pace.

25 Apr 2017 09:06:40
I think a new RB, a top drawer No.10, and think Brendan will be looking to keep Roberts. That will be the priority buisness this summer I feel. Looking forward to this transfer window as Brendan hasn't signed a four year deal without the promise of significant investment from the board to guarentee Champions League qualification every year and 10 in a row.

Certainly think we'll be after an attacking midfielder of some sort.

Mally I know what your saying and I have seen the ed post similar but I don't think a quality forward would come and play third fiddle , I think Brendan will be looking for a wide player he can rotate with Forrest and be used through the middle as an auxiliary centre forward in an emergency.

That's what I'm thinking fab. A wing forward, as well as a CAM. I think BR said he was after 3 quality players did he not? Either a CB or a Keeper for me then.

Agree with a replacement for paddy and a quality attackin midfielder. but got to disagree that we're sorted defensively! We need a top class centre half IMO. its obvious Brendan doesn't rate Erik and there's no way boyata is the answer, not by a long shot! And as much as I like him and he's been great for us I think lustig is a liability at a higher level! Ok for Scottish league but we need better for Europe!

Think Lustig would make descent centre half tall quick for a centre good on the ball.

25 Apr 2017 22:51:54
How much would it cost to get a better player than Boyata on current form? I get why people have reservations about him because he was a bombscare last year but he's been immense since he came in after the winter break. We've barely conceeded a goal when he's been on the park. Quick, strong, good in the air and in the tackle, positioning and ability on the ball improving all the time. I don't think there's many better centre halfs out there just now who we could afford.

Boyatta got to remember he's a defender first and foremost, don't try to be creative just clear your lines, if there's any doubt in his mind don't overthink it just belt it up the park, a wee bit scary at times.

Watched - and enjoyed - the highlights again this morning and how we only scored two goals against them is incredible?
The control, composure and class was there for all to see and everyone in green and white hoops played their part - with starring roles for Roberts, McGregor, KT and Scott Brown back to his best.
Have seen Collum having worse games, but he did seem to go out of his way to keep the red card in his pocket at least twice for dangerous and vicious tackles. However, as both TV commentators on sly and bbc mentioned we should be very grateful to Mr Robertson (the spare prick at the wedding) for awarding us a penalty - and doing his job properly for once.
Well played Celts; on yet another fantastic performance in a momentous season and I just love the way BR celebrates a goal btw.

Well according to wee biff Ferguson in his column today the first goal was a punt up the park. no a great run from dembele and touch or a great long ball by lustig with a world class finish messy would b proud of it was a punt deary me.

I haven't enjoyed my trips to Hampden these last few years but I'm loving them this season.
The only thing their fans got excited about yesterday was an injury to Dembele, that just shows how dominant we were. There looks a big gulf in quality between the teams and I hope it goes on and on.
Incidentally, what was that business at the kick off. It looked like we went up to the centre circle to presumably pay a tribute to Ugo Ehiogu, but with both teams lined up, Miller looked as if he was trying to take the kick off by himself, what an idiot.

Or when they won a throw in it was like winning a penalty😂😂.

24 Apr 2017 23:42:17
sean i've been watching celtic playing that mob for 40 odd years, and that probably was the most one sided game i've seen against both incarnations of their team.
