We need to sign

A goalkeeper

I don't think we need another CB as Toure will bring on Boyata, sell Ambrose and give Charlie a contract he is worth it.

CM ball player, vision with quick movement and passing ability.

Sinclair will sign I think. Winger

Forward need two if we punt Ciftci on.

The spine of the team is the solutions.

In the long term there is a good few positions that could/ need to be improved.

This is only my opinion guys.

Is Charlie not gone?

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 08:29:37
Mulgrew was offered a contract by Ronnie has he knocked it back . pretty sure I read that somewhere.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 08:38:21
Got to disagree. Mulgrew hasn't been good enough for years.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jul 2016 01:35:33
Charlie's time is up the best I ever seen him play was when he was whacking those free kicks into our goals playing for the sheep men, something up there seemed to agree with him.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 20:59:37
Forwards

The Griff is looking great again. This guy is s star for us sheer determination. Well done to Ronnie for getting him sorted.

Dembele I really like the look of good feet and strength just wish the poor fella could get of the mark.

Ciftci is trying but probably should move on now.

Midfield positions

Brown (I want the wee man to comeback)
Bitton (punt, good player but slows the game too much)
Rogic (good big strong fella, holds the ball and has skill)
Armstrong (will come good being played in the right position)
GMS (inconsistent, but has been s match winner)
Roberts (needs to learn from the gaffer)
Commons (let go seems to be an issue)
Allan (perfect replacement for Commons. Needs a chance)
Callum mcgergor coming good I think, not everyone's cup of tea.
Ajer looks good
Ryan Christie is very young and I hope he is a success.
Johansen move on.
Forrest had his chance either sign now or punt.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

25 Jul 2016 21:15:51
Totally agree about Allan. Why doesn't he get a chance. He always seems to have time when I have seen him play. Done enough for me to hope BR gives the guy a proper chance and explores the possibility that he may be the defence unlocker we are looking for. .

Agree1 Disagree2

25 Jul 2016 22:04:54
You've missed out Henderson! I really love he this kid but doesn't look like he's getting an opportunity at the moment! Hopefully his time will come soon.

Agree3 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 01:08:13
I agree think Henderson a cracking player and i would play him before likes Johansen and Bition, i can understand why Brown gone a play and i really hope he gets back to the Scott Brown we know but would love wee Hendo to get he's chance I was impressed way Allan on Saturday I've got to admit that and i do think he kind a player Rodgers likes to me he keeps the ball moving all time unlike NB and SJ and by no means Iam I saying Scott Allan a world beater just I've been impressed with what I've seen of him in preseason, does look like jobs got harder now on Wednesday right enough with Erik out but Iam gone a stick to my prediction that we'll come through the tie over the 2 legs and I fancy us to score Wednesday.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 03:59:56
What has Scott Allan actually ever done in his career to merit a start ahead of other players at club? He is not good enough, was only signed to get one over sevco and sooner he is away the better.

Agree2 Disagree3

26 Jul 2016 08:35:43
Scott Allan needs a run of games something he's not had at celltic before we can truly assess him a blind man could see he's technical and has good feet and tidy in possession let's see after maybe 5 or 6 games on the bounce.

Agree1 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 09:09:31
Agree he's no done anything in he's Celtic career DN30 largely because he's not been given a chance and i agree there is guys that are ahead of him but if Allan was to come in and do the business would you drop him? If the lad does it wk in wk out on park if he gets a chance then he should start weather that be before Brown, Bition, Johansen or any midfielder who's not performing for team, loyalty was shown to far too many players last season middle of park and cost us especially against seveco. As I said in my post iam no saying he's a world beater all of a sudden or I've become he's number 1 fan but from what I've seen in preseason from lad I've liked he keeps play moving and i think he would be a good assest to us.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 09:26:27
Chris30 he's not had a run of games because he is not good enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 09:41:36
He deserves a chance as brown bitton Johanson Forrest GMS and more were awful last year and have started this season the same way so let's give him a wee run.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 18:16:58
That's your opinion DN but nearer has anyone else in that position been near good enough so no harm in trying something new.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jul 2016 21:48:12
Maybe the rest are no good either but in the opinion of both R D and B R it appears that both managers think that the others are better . I M O, & it probably means nothing S A doesn't work hard enough off the ball to suit either manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 20:50:42
Goalkeeper position I like Gordon, but we need a keeper to clear everything to command the penalty area.

Left back we have KT and Izzy so we are ok there.

Right back Lustig, Janko Fischer. I love Lustig but he is getting on (could play CB) Janko needs to get the ball in quicker. Young Fischer I really want him. To make it.

CB
Simonovic
Sviatchenko
Toure
Ambrose (lovable guy but needs to go)
Boyata (Toure could make this bhoy)

Believable0 Unbelievable1

26 Jul 2016 02:55:47
I like Gordon too and he does make some brilliant reactive saves. However, he is not in command of the area, he rarely comes out for a ball and spends most time on the goaline waiting for a shot. Too many errors down to not being in charge of the defence or his working area. We need a strong guy there who the defence can rely on.

Agree0 Disagree0

Predictions for Astana game bhoys?

I'm thinking a draw, under the circumstances I would take that no bother and skelp them at paradise πŸ˜€.

26 Jul 2016 01:11:46
Mentioned in other post fancy us to score Wednesday and come through the tie over 2 legs will be hard can see us having to defend a lot Wednesday but just fancy us for a goal, our job a lot harder now with Erik out but gone a stick to my gut feeling think we be ok after the 2 legs.

Just watched the Toure press conference, I thought he came across really well. Very professional but also extremely likeable. He also seems to think that Sinclair will be coming to the club.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

25 Jul 2016 20:27:09
Why did he say that?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 20:51:11
He was asked how he felt about maybe lining up with him again, they were together at Man City. Toure said he thinks Sinclair is going to be a really good player for the club. But perhaps he was being hypothetical.

Agree0 Disagree0

I've just read online that Kristoffer Ajer has a thumb injury and hasn't travelled to Astana with the squad because of it. Anyone heard about this? I hope it's false or we're even shorter on defensive options. I thought the lad looked very tidy at CB in pre-season.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Jul 2016 15:21:26
Aye its true weetam, he's had to see a specialist according to the Chris Davies when the press interviewed him at the airport. A bhoy on Celtic's official twitter site responded to Davies quote by saying "Roy Aitken pulled out of a crucial European tie with a THUMB injury ABSOLUTELY NEVER". lol. To be fair i think the Bear would have still played after having had a leg amputated lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 15:57:12
The bear was always my hero, I have always been keen to see him involved in a coaching role at Parkhead.
I would have loved his autograph to add to my collection. (Inc big jock's and Alex ferguson a on the same piece of paper! )

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 16:13:47
I remember one game against the first incarnation of rangers where he smashed through them all with players just bouncing off him, then he belted the ball into the net, then ran behind the goals up to them all, waving his fist at them. He would probably be arrested and banned for 20 games if he did it nowadays island celt lol.

Not directly Celtic related but helps to explain the difficulty getting deals over the line with English clubs, Norwich are in the process of lodging an 15m bid for Ross McCormack, now I know the English are inclined to wreck most things they come in contact with but they are now well on course to wreck football with this type of lunacy Sky t v, their owner, the F. A Chiefs filling their pockets have a lot to answer for, welcome to the gravy train big Sam.

So this tie on Wednesday. Looks like it could be tricky and we should manage our expectations. Astana are no Red Imps. 10 years ago we wouldn't have batted an eyelid but times are changing. Last year in the qualifiers their home results were Maribor 3-1 win, HJK Helsinki 4-3 win and APOEL Tel Aviv 1-0 (nicked an away goal to go through) . Clearly they go for goals at home and are well capable
Shame after all this time our defence is still not 'sorted'. If we get out of there without conceding it will be a miracle. Beyond a win or a draw the best result for us would be a 2-1 defeat or any one goal deficit where we score. Taking into account the likely temperature and the artificial pitch it's going to be a tough ask. Hope we don't make life easy for them by chucking in a howler. Keep it tight we finish job in Glasgow.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Been reported main goal scorer is out of both legs and no other player in the team has hit double figures.
One has scored 4
One has scored 5.

25 Jul 2016 11:36:13
Need that to be true Kev. Wouldn't be confident of a clean sheet home or away. One each over their would be a result, suppose we can dream about clean sheet and bagging a goal there but like I said, doubt it.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jul 2016 14:35:38
Kev83, given that they have played 21 league games and the game as well be in Timbucktoo it's so far away I have to say I would be pleased with either 2 nil or 3 nil for giving us some breathing space for game at home.
