Got to agree with a lot of what has already been said, there has been a huge jump forward from this time last year and Rodgers has raised the game of so many players, Gordon can spread the ball now and is a lot more commanding in his box, Armstrong (who I thought cruelly had a bad night yesterday) is looking to live up to his potential and Brown is on fire. MD will most likely not stay but if he goes, 40 mill is not likely but half of that could be on the cards. If a good portion of that and the CL money is given to BR and a bit put into our facilities, we could see Celtic soar. Like many, I am enjoying watching the team and feel genuine pride again rather than lamenting missed opportunities. Cannot see us getting the post Xmas Euro football but a treble and the bedding in of a squad that can walk the Summer qualifiers would be great. Also the BMG fans joining in YNWA was beautiful. Loving my football the now :)

My sentiments too Daviebhoy. Always good to be a follower of our unique institution but the feel good factor on and off the park for now and the immediate future is the best I can remember. I'm enjoying the stuff being served up now more than Martin's team ( other than the King of course) . We are on the up and up. I'm in a constant glow of all good things Celtic with every reason to think that's the way it will be for YEARS!

Enjoying it more than martins team! Think that's taking it a bit to far to be honest. yes I'm enjoying watching us at the moment and over the next few transfer windows Brendan will add more quality. but for me it's nowhere near oneils team! Sutton petrov hartson Thompson Lennon lambert are of a far higher standard, and that's not even counting Henrik! Like I said I'm loving what Brendan's doing but MON team brought me so many amazing memories and this team aren't near that yet! But fingers crossed they will be one day!

{Ed007's Note - The difference in the style of football is night and day so I can see where Nora's coming from but Rodgers has a lot to do before he gets anywhere near MON's achievements for us.}

I agree, one swallow does not make a summer.

MON - treble, UEFA cup final
Let's not forget our neighbours across the city were splashing the cash (that they didn't have) .

If BR stays to take us to ten in a row, with domestic trophies and some euro adventures along the way then for me that would eclipse anything I've seen in my lifetime as a time.
10 in a row is the holy grail for me.

While I agree with everything already said, my biggest joy is that our manager has a plan B and a Plan C when plan A is not working.

I agree with most of what Davie bhoy writes, although I can't see why a good man like Davie seems anxious to talk up Dembele's exit . Dembele has said frequently he wants to stay for years and I for one hopes he does .
As far as B R having a long way to go to catch up with M O 'N it's reasonable to assume he would have four or five years .

Let's just hope BR is here to do 10 in a row and then as Buzz Lightyear says, to infinity and beyond.

Oldbhoy, I would love nothing more than MD to stay and believe that he could become a true great if he did. I believe the noises about he is making too but if a superpower team offers us crazy money, what would happen? I want nothing more than for him to stay, he is amazingly aggressive, aware and agile. Almost like a 3 Centre Half when we defend corners and he bullies players all over the park.

May be I got a wee bit carried away there. Pure joy and excitement with the way Brendan has us playing and building something special. I live in Ireand and only manage over about 6 times a year on my season ticket but the Celts are with me every day. I'm just a bhoy hopelessly in love!

@DavieBhoy - you forgot to mention his crazy eyes ;)

Daviebhoy do you not think super power clubs funded rotten to the core by over rich foreign capitalists and tv money showed interest in Larrsson and when that happened Dermot D told them their interest wasn't welcome and told them to back off . I believe as long as Dembele insists on wanting to stay, he will be here.

I really hope you're right man. Good shout on the crazy eyes Rab, in the Hasselbank league!

Old bhoy, wake up
And smell the coffee . He's been here for 4 months, on the bench for the first month . What kind of affinity can you grow in that time . I've no doubt he loves playing for Celtic but I bet he'd love playing for a club who
Is willing to play three times more for his services . I'd be really happy if we got one more season out of dembele, but that is the best we can hope for in my opinion . I'd wish him well wherever he went, and hope Cfc use the money wisely . That's the reality .

I think Dembele chose Celtic instead of a mid table or top of the table EPL team, because he wanted to test himself in first team football and European experience .
Dembele's experience to date must have far exceeded his widest dreams . Although he could possibly earn more money elsewhere, he knew that before he came here . He certainly must feel he is developing v well with us and should be reluctant to change .

Dembele is our back up if we fail to qualify for champions league, on a more positive note let BR utilise about 15 million and we will be in a great position come the qualifying rounds in the summer.

Renz67 . Brendan could easily spend your mythethical £15 and sign a striker who could turn out not nearly as good as Dembele .
Why are so many of our fans are not believing Demebele is beyond me . We are used to the SMSM encouraging players to leave, but now it seems to be the fans who do the most talking about it.
