I reckon there will be a mass sale of players this summer, to include
Hooper, wanyama, Forster, McCourt, ledley, izzy, Matthews, watt, kayal. Total income should be in the region of £25million.
I feel we need this to happen since its apparent that some players have their eyes and hearts set on the premiership.
In Lenny (and John Park) we trust!
1.) A few will go and a few will come in. There won't be a mass clear out.
2.) Lesley has already said he wants to stay
3.) Some players may move on but the list you have compiled is rubbish the majority of players you have named will still be Bhoys next season.
RT
4.) £25m for that lot? Your very wrong with that figure mate. Hoops, Big Vic and Forster alone should be in the ballpark of £18-20m. Ledley, matthews and Izzy around £10-12m. From your list I would expect to lose Vic, Forster, Hoops and McCourt, no more. green jhedi
5.) I think you named way to many players there, settle down.
Quack
6.) Firstly there's not a chance in hell would we be letting that many first team players go. Secondly your numbers are way off, Wanyama 10 million minimum, Hooper 4 million minimum, Forster 4 million minimum, Ledley 4 million minimum, Mathews 4 million minimum, Izaguirre 1. 5 minimum, Kayal 2 million minimum, Watt 1. 5 minimum. that's 31 million at minimum value, never mind the fact the manager would loath to lose Ledley, Forster, Wanyama or Mathews so would demand top dollar
7.) I think we will lose Hooper, Lassad and McCourt plus the loanees.
Matthews, Ledley and Wanyama have not indicated they want to go although big Forster has recently and I for one would not miss him that much and we can do better.

Hooper, wanyama. maybe
McCourt won't be sold, he'll leave due to freedom of contract.
Ledley and Matthews are being linked with Cardiff. granted. But they would be mugs to go as it will be theirr first season in the premiership and I think (even with £25m invest which Mackay has been promised) they will struggle.
If Izzy is sold itt won't be for much. Watt (if the rumours of attitude are true) won't bring much in. I can't see him being sold to be honest.
Kayal won't command much of a fee, too injury prone. If Norwich come back for him again then itt depends what happens with Wanyama.
9.) Dont think that many first team regulars will go, but a few fringe players will be offloaded and loaned out.

10.) Hooper will be sold, but for how much? The only bidder in January (Norwich) didn't get near Celtic's valuation and they have just signed a big-money striker. Will they be back in for Hooper in the summer? Probably not, so he'll go to the likes of Southampton or Watford for £4m- £5m tops.
Wanyama seems happy at Celtic but doesn't want to sign a new contract so it looks like he'll try to run down his contract. Obviously, the club won't want that so he'll be sold too. Let's hope there's a bidding war to push his price over the £10m mark.
Ledley and Matthews will probably stay but both have a connection to Cardiff and no doubt would like to play in the EPL, so if Cardiff's wealthy new owners made a bid of £10-12m for them both, would Celtic turn it down? Probably not.
Izzy and Kayal are going nowhere - they are both on long-term contracts and their recent performances will not attract a high enough bid to encourage the club to sell.
Forster has done nothing since his 'neck injury' and his mind seems elsewhere. I reckon he'll go in the summer - maybe £5-6m. Paddy McCourt will be shown the door - a pity, but his 10-15 minute cameos do nothing other then put appearance money in his bank account. Scott Brown will be an increasingly bit-part player because of his hip condition.
With Hooper and Miku gone, I think we will be left a bit light in the forward department. Tony Stokes might get a new deal (depending on how the board view his off-field activities) but if the rumours about Tony Watt's attitude are true I suppose he'll be punted - on loan or permanently. Hopefully, Lassad can step up to the plate or we'll sign someone who can. I don't expect to see Bangura back at CP.
In-coming, like most, I'd like to see a commanding centre-half, a creative midfielder (what about McGeough?), a midfield destroyer to replace Big Vic, a 30-a-season striker and a reliable goalie if Lurch goes.
Interesting times ahead.

11.) I honestly don`t know what people see in Ledley. I watched him yesterday and yes he took hid goal well, but appart from that he was ineffectual. Commons was tremendous - best man on the park by far. Hooper was also good - for a change. He hasn`t kicked a ball for weeks Ambrose drives me nuts. An obviously talented player but he sells the jerseys too often and missed too many sitters ergo yesterday. I don`t know why Lenny doesn`t have Mulgrew and Wilson as the 1st choice back two?By the way. I would say to Paddy you are in the side for all the remaining league games come wht may. Give him a proper run in the side
12.) Ledley and Matthews stay and build team round them. Hooper and big Vic will no doubt go but a would let Wilson and Ambrose go as well not good enough in my opinion. With the sale of these four and a few others who will no doubt be sold as well John Park will gives us the nod on what's available and hopefully at a price we can afford. Have faith in Lenny we will have a cracking team for nxt season. bigjohnnybhoy

According one tabloid Owen coyle has a release clause allowing him to join celtic. Personally I think we should be looking at younger players than Coyle, any thoughts? Lol
Seriously though he had a chance to manage us earlier and didn't take it, I wouldn't have him as manager for that reason alone let alone the fact I just don't rate him. Anyone else feel otherwise?
1.) Same, and I hope Lennon stays with us for years to come.
2.) If Lenny was to go, I'd take Coyle in a heartbeat. Jonnybhoy
3.) He had his chance and blew it and since then his managerial career has went backwards so Hell mend him.
JJ
4.) Coyle said no before.he has had his chance. Shouldn't be ever considered again

I hope he's telling the truth! Get Alfie signed up pronto PL.
I'm really hoping its the Finn we've signed. We keep getting 'squad players' such as your man from wolves and to a certain degree balde. We need real quality to come in and lift this team from the mediocrity we are seeing these past few games. let's not kid ourselves we were lucky against Ross county as well as the draw yesterday and the aberration that was shaktar.
I have visions of rankers back in the premiership in two years with the gap closed on us rather than widened as you would have expected a year ago. That would be bad business.
Can't see Lenny getting the Everton job, if he did then I think you'd have to look abroad for a manager, there aren't too many candidates available here. Some might say mjallby but I'd want someone with a bit of a track record to push us on. I would say that we should do our best to retain John parks services, I think he's been central to our recent signing success.
If ever there was an opportunity to have a first team XI and supplement the squad with academy/youth players now is the time. Instead of overpaying for players who just aren't good enough to hold down a first team place investigate in real talent for the first XI and then add the likes of Fraser etc to be the reserve/stand by player. No big break for the first team during the season, nice idea but doesn't work, no squad rotation during the league campaign, simple bed in a hound player into the team as needed and add some much needed continuity to the team.
Very pedestrian from Celtic, ambrose thinks he is a holding midfielder but I disagree. His passing is slack and he doesn't see a pass fast enough. Brown should be holding with rogic at the head of the diamond or brown right hand side and kayal in holding position.
