ED what are the chances of Celtic taking John McGinn on and is it worth it? Will he become one of the players we should have always signed but stalled on? I've not seen enough of him to have an honest opinion. I think Ajer will be sent out on loan again. Hopefully to another club that will respect Rodgers decision to play him at CB.

{Ed007's Note - I said a while back that McGinn was the only player in Scotland I'd take at Celtic, although Liam Lindsay from Partick looks a good player too but we've got plenty in the middle of the defence.
John Park had McGinn scouted and we were keeping an eye on him but I don't know what the new scouting regime think of him. I'd imagine Lee Congerton will have watched him to see the player himself before deciding how and move moves forward.
We could loan him back to Hibs for a season and even throw in the waste of space Scott Allan and even though Lennon would rather sign Commons he might feel sorry for us and take Allan as well if it was on a free or just on top of their asking price.}

Seen / read/ heared a lot about mcginn. Being touted as a long term replacement for brown . Like others a haven't seen enough to judge him personally. But like Mccarthy and mcarthur before him? It would be foolish to pass him up just now and end up being costly if he develops into the player he is being touted as .

I'd rather try for an established Euro level experienced guy (will we spend for that? ) and develop the boys we have. as I don't think he's better than Brown McGregor Armstrong rogic and on a par with Christie and Henderson.

{Ed007's Note - McGinn is completely different type of player than McGregor, Rogic and Christie though and I don't imagine he would be our main midfield signing this summer.
If we sell Bitton, McGinn would be a good replacement for him in the squad and I wouldn't be surprised to see Henderson move on this summer either.}

Is there any word on The quality signings we hope to bring in hopefully CL level and where in the team do we look to strengthen?

{Ed007's Note - Supposedly Rodgers wants a new CB, CM, ST and a RW depending what happens with Roberts.
Frederico Venancio a 24 year old CB from Vitoria Setubal could be someone we're looking at as a possible signing.}

ed . re Henderson your own thoughts or have you heard something . delbhoy isn't that what kouassi was brought in for. and on him ed is he still hampered by malaria ( was it? )

{Ed007's Note - It's just my own thought mate. I like him but he doesn't seem to be making any inroads in the squad and I think Neil Lennon could fancy taking him at Hibs if a deal's possible. Lennon will be looking for players he's worked with, can trust and has Premiership experience so I can see him looking to take a couple of fringe players from us.
I know they're free so not technically our players but I'll be surprised if Commons and Efe don't end up at Easter Road

Deep river bhoy . To be truefull av never heard of kouassi. Am sure a read he sees it as a stepping stone like most foreigners. Bit like vvd? Come here play a season or 2 and hopefully triple our money or more. A bit like the oreyenku links . Buy the potential now if possible . Mcginn just seems like a mirror image of when we signed broony . homegrown and hope he develops and stays long term rather than chase riches?

{Ed007's Note - Sorry DRB, I thought I typed a paragraph about Eboue Kouassi, and it's vanished, strange! Maybe the sh1t filter blocked it :)
He's well over the Malaria thing and everyone is happy with the way things are going with him.}

I'd imagine eboue is a longer term plan and has to work for his position! ED where did the venancio rumours come from?

{Ed007's Note - Someone told me we have been watching him.}
