Well I called the Dylan McGeouch situation miles wrong as it looks like the club have triggered the years extension in his contract. My bad, sorry lads.

I'd have thought the signing of GMS would have killed off any chance he had.

{Ed007's Note - And it should put the silly Scott Allan rumour to bed once and for all. With the players we already have, McGeouch resigning and young Aiden Nesbitt coming through where would Allan fit into our squad? I can't see McGeouch signing up if he wasn't going to be given a chance, obviously what he done at Hibs has convinced RD to give him that chance.}

We will put it down to the old age ed

{Ed007's Note - That's probably as good an excuse as any the way I've been feeling lately.}

I think Allan is a good player but would be nothing more than a squad player for us, for that reason I see no point in signing him. In addition, the Hibs games I watched last season, McGeouch was there best player.

{Ed007's Note - I've been trying to tell them on the Hibs site about Allan, one of them even reckons he's better than Johansen!}

ED007 do you think the other young lads Fisher, McGregor and Henderson are in Delia's plans also?

{Ed007's Note - I get the impression that RD doesn't fancy Fisher and a question mark is hanging over McGregor imo, he played well in the Euro qualifiers last season and now he can't even make the bench, that tells you how far we've came in a year. Henderson is due back next week from Rosenberg so we'll probably find out what's happening with him then but I'm sure he'll be part of the plans unless he is looking to move. I would be disappointed if Henderson left, I think he has a lot to offer and could play a big part domestically if we have a Euro campaign in our schedule.
I'd say we won't be looking to actively unload any of the three and unless there are bids coming in they will be given until January at least to prove themselves.}

I am the only one that thinks that Dylan getting the final year of his contract activated that he might now be used as bait in getting Allan? I really hope not he's good but where would he play? Armstrong will play more in the middle this season if needed and genders on as well. And he could lace starts boots and hasn't the potential as young liam

{Ed007's Note - Do you really think a player would sign a new deal so that his club could use him as part of another deal? For a start he would be miss out on money and if he didn't know the plan the club would - and rightly should - get torn apart for toying with a young man's career.}

I think the Allen story is just lazy journalism. There will be many others where TRFC are challenging CFC for players.

He never signed a new deal celtic activated the 1 year extension

{Ed007's Note - It's not slavery mate, the player and his agent have an input. If CFC get rid of McGeouch in this window behind his back (a la Tony Watt) there would be repercussions. It doesn't give a good impression to young players you're trying to sign if you're seen to be treating them than no more than movable assets, it would also go against everything RD has said about nurturing young players.}

I think Henderson needs a season on loan in the SPL! Let's us keep a close eye on him and regular first team football to develop even more we can't give him the games he needs

I hear Henderson is injured ED, do u know the damage?

{Ed007's Note - He was taken off in Rosenborg's last game as a precaution after taking a knock. I don't think it's anything too serious.}

Cheers Ed hope so I really rate this guy.

{Ed007's Note - Me too mate, if it was up to me he'd be a big part of our future, I think he could turn into a top player.}

Like all of you I also rate Henderson but think he may have to bide his time to get a place in the team.

Going on last season I would say that Deila thinks his best 5 in midfield are:

Brown Biton

GMS Johansen Armstrong

At the moment I don't think Henderson is better than any of these players but I do think he has the potential to become a first team player for us.
