Rodgers says he'd be happy if Boyata stayed till the end of the season.

Guy refused to play for us and refuses to discuss a contract despite being a below par defender against any decent opposition.

I just think of great managers like Alex Ferguson and wonder if they would put up with that kind of behaviour.

Imo Boyata shouldn't have played for us again after Summer fiasco. Now he definitely should not wear our jersey again.

You do know that’s Celtic saying no CB coming in in January defo.

Agree0 Disagree1

After the summer shambles with boyata I was dead against him playing for us again, however in the main since then he’s been superb ( outwith that Ibrox game where everyone of them except McGregor was rotten) . That said, it really needs addressed this window, he either signs a deal or we need to replace him. If we can’t get a replacement in then for me he has to drop out and Ajer/ jozo takes his place till we get another centre half in. We can’t continue to play him if brendan knows he’s definitely going to leave. What message does that send to Ajer/ jozo?

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

We always work like that. We don't act until we need to as oppose to being prepared in advance.

Same when we never spent until we "knew our champions League fate"

Then qualified and have short time to spend. Fail to buy and then get the "we tried" excuse.

Difference is Alex Ferguson had the backing to build a squad of quality depth, whereas in terms of CB position we do not have that. He is one of our best CB and untill we get replacement he should be playing if we want to win.

Im of same opinion he should never of played again, but we have no choice unless we get replacement.

Personally i think if he wound his neck in, respected club and fans by playing then i think he would of got his transfer this window. His agents actions storming into Lennoxtown was disgraceful and i wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers and Lawwell are happy to run down his contract by keeping him to end of season as a GIRFUY.

He’s a rat get rid.

I'd rather he left now for nothing than keep playing a player that doesn't want to be here. We would get a couple of million the now anyway so get him out and get someone in who wants to play for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 19:51:23
Bloody Boyata, out of order, we have paid him handsomely and now get zero sell on, doesn't deserve to wear our shirt, absolute clown if true.

Latest rumour is Porto want to offer £14mil plus Mbemba for Ntcham.

I think this is a fair deal.

Ntcham has great ability but he would suit Portos style of play much more naturally than ours.

Fair? This would be an incredible deal if true. Take it and run for the hills. Can just imagine PL's face when that one comes through.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 23:21:03
I say fair because I can't see it being £14 and Mbemba.

Possibly a deal valued at £14 million.

Like them valuing Mbemba as worth £7mil within the deal and adding £7mil on top of that cash to make a deal worth £14mil

However you never know, seen some similar deals in past and they are desperate for Ntcham supposedly. Him signing a long term deal means they need to pull something special out to get him sooner.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 23:26:01
That would be a great deal.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 23:47:29
I'd take £1.4 million.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 00:05:57
Is Mbemba a CB?

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 00:16:41
Wasn't we linked with Mbemba last summer when he as at Newcastle? Can't see us getting £14m and him but I'd take the £14m alone and invest it in areas we need strengthening.

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 09:12:39
There's no chance that mbemba will be any good, why would Porto want rid of him so quickly? Who would replace Ntcham if you let him go?
I would ask for more, Porto have the money, and in this inflated market we would get 18-20, buy benkovic outright and get some players cheap from the Eastern European leagues that we can sell on in the future, I've been checking midfielders with good attributes
AMC Tsonev 23 FC Beroe G7 A7
MC Travnik 24 FK Jabloneka G8 A7
AMC Mitrita 23 CSU Craiova G12 A4
We could probably get all 3 for 7 million and would make a great profit on them
And I'm sure there's plenty CBs cheap over there as well.

Vincent Janssen has signed a loan deal with Celtic. allegedly! 👍.

From where?

14 Jan 2019 23:15:41
He's at Spurs.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 23:21:38
I didn't mean where he plays sorry. I meant where is the rumours from.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 23:22:39
Sounds like Single Fish to me. 4 strikers (Odsonne, Weah, Griff and Bayo) plus Janssen?

Can't see that as a credible rumour. I'll file that one next to Yaya.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 20:51:12
No to James McCarthy and just no to Ya Ya Toure. A 35 year old midfielder is a bigger gamble than a 36 year old striker.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

15 Jan 2019 01:46:06
Sorry JFP, I would love McCarthy to sign, even if it was only for 6 months.

Lirim Kastrati 19year auld winger Meant to be rapid just says Celtic keeping tabs on him.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

14 Jan 2019 20:42:17
We should just buy him instead of keeping tabs on him because he will fast become out of our price ranger if we wait.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 21:57:16
Wouldn't mind him and Zaneli.

If the club where making some big announcement the press would be all over it by now.

Richards old Man City player.

Agree2 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 16:19:59
Not a chance. He's not kicked a ball in 2 seasons and is as big a bomb scare as boyata.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 16:37:44
Ya ya on his way.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 18:16:47
Yaya is on monday night football so he ain't on his way today. In two minds about this link to be honest. Think it's a heart vs head thing and the heart is thinking of the player that was. Do we know Ed what happened at Olympiacos? Bit of a red flag that his contract was mutually terminated.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 19:55:14
Not really a red flag, lots of players make transfer moves that don't work out then get career back on track at new club. Chris Sutton never worked out at Chelsea before we signed him and he had a prolific career with us. Arsenal and Fulham are interested in him so there must be something still there.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 20:19:52
Yaya said he wants move back to BPL and Celtic have said they aren’t interested in signing him. Maybe agents trying to leak Celtic connection to get his name in media more than he usually would due to our fan base.
He would be well out of our price range wage wise and I feel the priority is defence.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 20:35:35
Is Mr Duff and Mr McManus the signings.

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 20:45:05
He's not going to arsenal. Not a chance. And Fulham that desperate to stay in the league they'd sign anyone.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Offer them Boyata for £8 million......

14 Jan 2019 21:58:56
Heard they're still interested Ed? Cashing in on him and spending money to replace would be a good window.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 19:52:03
I heard in regards to Yaya that it wasn't so much down to his ability that he had so little games in Greece and more to do with him being on a pricey pay as you play deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 13:20:20
Heard it's Yaya Toure signing. Who knows only time will tell.

Where's all the hysteria coming from that we're supposed to be making some major announcement today?

Some guy on Twatter calls himself Ed007. 👍👍👍👍.

Well Eds what are we hearing about YaYA Toure is there anything in this really?
