Bhoys with the league won
What departments are we looking to strengthen (names if possible)
And who do you reckon will be leaving
Hail Hail Hbhoy.
1.) 04 Apr 2017 12:16:09
We need a proper 5million pound winger to replace paddy - not sure who.
Also id take john mcginn as a back up for sinky on the other wing and he can play anywhere in midfield if needed (people also saying we need a 3rd striker, i disagree, we have sinky so id prefer getting wingers as sinky can always be our 3rd striker if needed)
We need more creativity in midfield so maybe another cm as well as we have no back up for rogic.
Rb and cb only other options id consider. A right footed tierney and the new virgil will sort that.
Players out - gms, hendo, bitton.
2.) 04 Apr 2017 15:22:36
McGinn is not a winger and doesn't have the pace to be out there as that's what rodgers wants from his wingers.
3.) 04 Apr 2017 15:40:39
Another quality cb and a quality no 10 maybe a really solid midfielder to although we need to give young eboue a chance.
4.) 04 Apr 2017 17:10:55
Need to strengthen at the back for Europe and a proven scorer for cover. If paddy leaves then a strong winger would be required. Maybe Ajer can get a role. Need to sell gms Bitton not celtic standard I'm afraid.
5.) 04 Apr 2017 18:51:13
Ideally I would like to see the following come in
GK, LB, CB, CM, Winger, ST
Players I would like to see us go for are.
Scott Bain - Dundee
Stephen Hendrie - West Ham
Filip Benkovic - Dinamo Zagreb (big, big fee tho)
Leander Dendoncker - Anderlect (big, big fee tho)
Henry Onyekuru - K. A. S. Eupen
Aron Jóhannsson - Werder Bremen
HOPEFULLY KEEP ROBERTS
OUT
Ve Vries, Fasan, Janko, Izaguirre, Ambrose, Bitton, Commons, Allan, GMS, Ciftci
GK - Gordon, Bain, Bailly
RB - Lustig, Gamboa
LB - Tierny, Hendrie
CB - Simunovic, Benkovic, Sviatchenk, Boyata, Ajer
CM - Brown, Dendoncker, Armstrong, Rogic, McGregor, Eboue, Henderson
Wing - Sinclair, Onyekuru, Forrest, Roberts**, Christie
ST - Dembele, Griffiths, Johannsson, Aitchison
Not asking for much hahaha, aw and keep Toure in some sort of coaching role.
6.) 04 Apr 2017 18:40:27
Cb striker winger cm rb if we keep our 1st 11 if not more will be needed.
7.) 04 Apr 2017 21:29:30
Seb larrson that's at sunderland, I know there hopeless but everytime I watch them he sticks out and I'm sure he's out of contract in the summer.
8.) 05 Apr 2017 01:06:56
Mat Ryan - Valencia (on loan at Genk)
He'd want (as most goalkeepers would) to be first choice, and I know Gordon has just signed a new deal, but to get the best out of your number one, you need a good keeper to push him, and Mat Ryan is a good keeper. No idea what he earns or if he is out of contract but he'll be our number one in Russia.
9.) 05 Apr 2017 05:46:02
Think bain is too small.
10.) 05 Apr 2017 14:27:09
Cover up front and pull out all the stops for roberts, the boy is class.
Maybe not a popular suggestion but get rogic on the list of gone along with bitton, gms, ciftci, de vries.
11.) 05 Apr 2017 16:12:49
Why get rid of rogic?
12.) 05 Apr 2017 22:34:20
Injured, almost all of the time. he's had one (when i say one i mean first half of this season) season. Hadn't made a full ninety in years and when he finally managed a few he got injured again.
Loads of potential, very little return for the time he's been here.

Hi all celts I'm new to this page just wondering the position with kelvin Wilson and if he goes potential replacements.
hbhoy {Ed007's Note - Wilson will move back to Forest soon. Lowry from Millwall or Matt Mills from Leicester could be brought in. Leicester offered Mills +£ for Wilson but that was turned down flat, the player had already told the club he wanted the Forest move.}
1.) Ed. Is Mills not at Bolton? {Ed007's Note - {Ed007's Note - Is he? I just assumed it would be him from what I was told, sorry about that. They offered a CB anyway.}
2.) We have got to be looking for a top centre half-in all my time watching Celtic its always been the weakest part of the team. I would have to go back to Paul Elliot who was brilliant-we've had good central defenders(Johan/big Joos/Mark Reiper etc) with regards Matt Mills, he went to Bolton more than a year ago and has hardly played-this seems to happen at every club(since he was a kid at Man City) he initially did well at Reading but I wouldn't touch him-he's got no pace/isn't aggressive enough. Wilson has really impressed me latterly, it's a shame if he is homesick! Cheers troops, Paul

have mentioned this guy already, but Kalidou Koulibaly from KRC Genk. 22, 6'5", strong, dominant in the air, played France u18/u20, big contributor to genk's defence this season. Also can play in the holding midfield spot. Under contract till 2016, but offers (IMO) a lot more potential than the championship players we have seen listed elsewhere. jean-Pierre Laguerre
4.) Expect slimeball billy to make things as difficult as possible . TTTS
5.) A couple of other options I like are 22 year old ghanaian international Jonathan mensah from Evian - not a bruiser but a good athletic defender (6'2") in a decent french side, or Allan Nyom from Granada. Nyom is from Cameroon, and is a Udinese player, loaned to granada for 2 years or so. Big guy (6'4") with a couple of caps for Cameroon, 25 years old and should not be too expensive. udinese tend to bring through players who are good technically and can transfer well to any league. jean-Pierre Laguerre
6.) I don't believe he is going to leave us to join Nottingham forest, I know its family but that's a step back. Well now we need a new cb, got a month to find one I suppose. Just can't believe he is leaving for the championship
Darrenbhoy
7.) Personally I would never look past Italy for centre halfs-Paul Elliot was a nobody when he went there, 4 years later he was a big money signing(from us) for Chelsea, I'm sure Piza were in the Italian 2nd division when we bought him. Obviously after that Dean Saunders tackle he had to retire, I just feel the way the Italians coach their defenders is unparalleled. Guys like Baresi and Maldini are as good as there has ever been. Even look at Juve last year - I just love the mentality of the Italian defenders, they usually aren't the tallest either(which I prefer) they are usually better in the tackle/better balance etc. Obviously we can't look at the top of Serie A, but a mid table team, we would get a right good defender over there for about 3/4/5 million! paul

Alright, new to the site too! I'd be surprised if big Kelvin will be allowed to go anywhere until the qualifiers have been successfully negotiated! Then if he wants to go home then by all means let him go for the right price.
9.) KW, will go nowhere he will sign another 3 year deal, and why not he is a GEM of a player no wonder there are some small clubs testing the water on him, I would like to see GS, KW, JL, all with new 3 year deals.
10.) Why is coming to Forest a step backwards?
The SPL is a pointless one team league to the standard of L1 or lower which you would win with your reserves.
Yes there is CL football for Celtic but its a competition you have no chance of winning (Well done last year though)
Forest are a high end Championship club with a realistic chance of promotion to the PL and we can probably exceed your wage structure for players.
No brainer! {Ed007's Note -
The last available accounts paint a very different picture:

And this should explain the wages:

11.) But that is why scotland want to go it alone, big tv deals and on/near to a par with epl NF are not bigger than celtic and never will be, they as you say may have a way in to 30 million, but things can change in football fast, and let's face it if it was not for tv deal most english clubs would be on a par with scottish 3rd div.

Any business happening soon bhoys/ ghirls.
1.) 07 Jul 2016 12:48:03
BR quoted as saying he'd like to get a couple over the line before Friday's CL deadline. I've said before that we really shouldn't need any new players to get us through the qualifiers but obviously it's good to get players in as early as possible and settled.
2.) 07 Jul 2016 13:51:08
As long as we get a player of choice in& don't sign a player just to impress fans, I will be happy enough .
3.) 07 Jul 2016 16:08:02
we should always be looking to bring in better players when we can we have rested on our laurels too often
24 Sep 2014 11:23:13
