hello all, nice to be back after a tough couple of years. ED, hope your good and the old legs mending. Been a while so where to start. New name for a kick off!

As a vintage Celt, late fifties, i have to say this is arguably the most proficient and adaptable Celtic team i have seen in fifty years of supporting this club. Brendan Rogers, there's a name i never would have connected with us, has performed something of a miracle here.

If we forget Moussa and Scotty for a minute the transformation in some players, almost all in fact, has been astonishing to watch. Tactically we are so far ahead of anything in Scotland i feel a bit of optimism creeping in re Europe.

Armstrong: Now looking like a proper modern European midfielder.

Broony: Playing like he's twenty five again.

McGregor: Confident and really looks he has settled into being a Celtic player.

And last but not least. Boyatta! What a turnaround. looked for all the world as if he was outa here, no murmurs of discontent either i would imagine, but WOW.

There are of course more but these for me are the pick. Throw into the mix the two utter sevco humiliations, and in the others bar one, playing them off the park,

This could be our moment . The board seem to have timed this all right. almost as if they finally want what we do. The Ten? never thought we would but now? We might be so good they can't cheat us out of it.

{Ed007's Note - Hi mate, I'm doing fine thanks. It's nice to see you posting and I hope you and the family are keeping well.}

Long Time at hear FGJ, nice to have you back . Your spot I need with your thoughts on the turnaround in performances, for me Armstrong is our Captain on waiting.
Given the fact that we will have a few loan players back, the poss outstanding one being Christie and of course Ajer So what position in the team do we need to strengthen. This imho is the real issue, a better goalie to push Gordon or anther right back, a better Mid to push Rogic, we have McGregor another No10 . We have Armstrong and LG or isn't another striker . We have Moussa and LG . This is going to be a very very interesting transfer window, as will see what area BR really thinks needs strengthening. Anyway good to see you back FGJ.

thanks ED, sadly two in laws passed within three months of each other but all better now. @PB: Great points and i have wondered myself about our squad. Centre halfs. check and then some. McCart and especially Ajer also getting good reviews.

Full back. With the emergence of Ralston, Jeeze there's a big Bhoy, And the continued progression of KT, with good old Izzy as back up were good there.

Midfield. Too long a list and we all know them suffice to say i agree with ED, Henderson will probably go.

Up front. Amazingly a wee bit short for me. Aitchison and Johnson maybe a bit young yet but BR has previous for playing kids. Solanko?

This is a real message send of a transfer window. Big signings will empty sevconia. Why its like the murray cheating years never happened. But they did. Karma sure is a bitch!

{Ed007's Note - Sorry to hear that, I'm sure you were a tower of strength to the delectable Mrs GJ.}

Always a pleasure to hear from you green jhedi (formerly) your posts r always spot on.
Big window indeed, we need to add 2 or 3 more of the dembele n Sinclair quality n for me we'd be looking very strong.
New goalkeeper, another striker n 2 creative players, would love Roberts to be one but time will tell.
Defense n midfield I'm happy with unless Brendan sees someone else in there with Broony n Armstrong pushed forward. I think the way Armstrong is playing n improving that's a good partnership with Broony.
Brendan has been brilliant since he came in, blip at red imps but other than that a dominant 1st season, but him bring free to be in charge of all that goes on in terms of being manager n the main man, we thrived with that n he has given us much joy this season, being a hoops fan is a joy in itself mind.
Just glad the board r backing him, as too long their ambition hasn't matched ours, we r a big club n could really push on n become at least regulars in the group stages as we have the basis of good team n the right bits of quality in in the right positions n i would be more than happy.
Here we go 10 in a row glad your back fgj.

I agree GJ, am also in my fifties and watched the end of the lions through king kenny times, loved watching Tommy Burns teams and MON with Larsson. I just feel something outstanding is happening at Celtic, evething is right at the right time. Good to see you back.
