With the form of Christie and McGregor, show of hands who thinks it would be sensible buisness to sell Ntcham and use the funds to buy Benkovic and maybe try and convince Boyata to sign a new deal?

Christie has played a few good games of late, not even close to Ntcham ability wise imo - so no
Maybe Celtic can just buy Benkovic given the shambolic transfer windows we have had to endure lately and show some actual ambition.

It’s rather exciting though to see our players step up and hopefully Christie will get better and better
McGregor and Forrest have stepped up, Tierney is great just a pity there isn’t a proper Scottish Centre half coming through.

If Ntcham wants out - and his recent attitude might suggest it - then I am sure the club will tout for business and look for a big fee. However, as much as the arrangement you suggest would be ideal; the chances of most or all of any money being handed to the manager may not be that straightforward?

How come everytime a player hits a ruff bit of form we hear the pish
THEY WANT OUT.
Ntcham came out last week and said he was happy here.
Why sell him to finance anything?
Why not keep our best players and add to them instead?

He's not one of our best players - in fact, he's nowhere near it. It's no coincidence how much better the team have been without him playing.

Both are different sort of players and for different games we need both not a good idea IMO to get rid of one we need both of them.

Andy he's is one of our best player and had at times totally run games for us, including the last rangers game.
He is a very good young player that is only going to get better. Would be mad to punt him now.

Ntcham is class the first 2 months if the season were rotten does that mean they all wanted out . and why would Leicester sign a boy for 13mill put him out on loan and then sell him and Celtic wouldn't pay the money.

When Christie was at Inverness he always looked like their best player by a mile but like a few others he couldn’t make the leap up to our first team. Fair play to him though as the last few games he’s looked good for us, and dare I say it he’s looked like the Armstrong replacement we need, especially when playing Odsonne up top on his own where we need a midfielder breaking. However, we shall have to see how he copes against euro competition before we start heralding him too much. He was poor in the last game so that obviously needs to improve.
On a side note like others have said, Filip and Boyata look the best centre back pairing we have had for ages. Such a shame we probably won’t even be bidding for Filip 🤢.

I think Ntcham looks totally uninterested and never seems to break into a sprint. Not good enough IMO.

Kev T regarding Tierney you are correct about him being great, and until he gets protection from referees he will be seriously injured, some of the tackles on him are a disgrace. oldkilly.

It’s funny ed, every time a player isn’t playing or has had a few off game Celtic fans seem to think there is some major problem
Rogers is leaving
Griffiths is an alky
Mulumbu is a mole
Ntcham and eddy miss dembele so want to leave.
Total nonsense.
{Ed007's Note - I'm still not convinced with the Mulumbu being innocent, the story was that him and Scott Allan were carrying tales and BOTH got caught out when planted stories they were fed - and I heard that round about the time we played the Kilmarnock league game & St Johnstone cup game.}

Andy what player are you watching Ntcham is class and will only improve
Probably will be sold, but to suggest the boy is no anplayer is absolute drivel.
Are you sure your not Andy1690 moonlighting?

When Andy 1909 said above "It's no coincidence how much better the team have been without him playing. " with reference to Nitcham my first thought was following that logic we should also sell Scott Browne. A few years ago we would not only have sold James Forrest but probably given him away and now he is one of our better players. I for one will trust the management who work with Nitcham and al the other players to decide what too do.

Just to be clear Andy, N’tcham’s the black guy that plays in the midfield, right?

I don't believe it ed.
Same rubbish was said about Scott McDonald and few other players over the years.
I don't think he'd ever get near the squad again if that was true.
{Ed007's Note - It's meant to have been Scott Allan that was leaking the team...

There's some mince spoke on here at times. ntcham up until a couple of weeks ago was the fans fav now in some fans minds he wants away total nonsense. we win back to back trebles with broony in the engine room he misses a few weeks and he's suddenly no good. Jeez.

Am not sure about that either ed. These timesheets are out there well before they are announced.
Press department
Kit department
Pinned up on boards to go through.
There's a hundred ways it can get out.
{Ed007's Note - The press only find out the team the same time as everyone else - an hour and a quarter before K.O. when Brendan Rodgers gives the referee the official team sheet and appropriate paperwork and the Club release it on social media - I can have the team up on here before the Record or Clyde have it up if I type fast enough.
I really can't see John Clark leaking anything either.}

If that's the case ed and I don't doubt u for a minute, I would terminate both their contracts if it was legal. Surely that's a sackable offence.
{Ed007's Note - It sounds like Mulumbu showed some naivety and was telling ex-team mates (that doesn't mean just Boyd if him at all, Boyd could have been hearing 3rd or 4th hand Chinese whispers from other Killie players) how things were going for him - or so he thought. If it's true I'm sure he's filly aware now how different things are at a Club the size of Celtic with the intensity of interest from all directions.
Scott Allan's just Scott Allan, a waster, a professional player who turns 27 this month and hasn't even managed 180 games at the 12(?) clubs he's been at!
We all know how Brendan likes quick and nippy players who can pick a pass and put defences under pressure around the box - so how shite must Allan be in training not to get a sniff of a game? He'd probably do anything to keep relevant and show off to his cronies at other clubs and in the media.}
