we are defo looking at Kapustka but Ajax have apparently bid £5million for him so we may quickly find ourselves priced out of this one.
I'm hearing more and more that we are signing Chris Gunter and Scott Sinclair (if he lowers his wage demands) - i'd be quite happy with them both.

Be happy with Gunter and Sinclair don't know much about polish boy.

Been told that unless it's for a small fee Celtic will be looking to do business in this transfer market in Britain as the strength of the pound just now is making it impossible to compete.

We've all been there. stuck at the bar in Malone's talking to an old geezer who claims to be "in the know" regarding the goings on at Celtic Park
last night's insight:
we got offered Ikechi Anya but BR refused as doesn't see him as an improvement on what we already have.
apparently we are having a close look at signing Steve Bruce's son from Hull as well as someone called Kyle Dempsey from Huddersfield? (never heard of him)
Joleon Lescott to bring a bit of experience to the back 4.
personally i'm taking all of the above with a massive of salt but thought i'd share to see if anyone on here can confirm or deny.

we need to get Stuart Armstrong back in the middle of the park and back to the player he was when we signed him. i never understood why we bought one of the best centre-mids in the country and then played him out wide. i think he would be most effective playing at the front of a diamond four with a proper ball-winning holding midfielder.

I think the biggest problem at the club is playing players out of position. Gone are the days when you need a left winger you go and get one. We seem to play a lot of players out of position theses days and have done for years now. What has happened to we need right back so we sign right back, and so on.
2.) 17 Jul 2016 13:12:39
Is he good enpugh to play the front of a diamond? Does he have the goals in him?
3.) 17 Jul 2016 13:45:05
I think Armstrong could easily play as the deeper midfielder tae.
4.) 17 Jul 2016 15:35:12
I think Armstrong is quite dynamimc plenty of energy if played in right pos he has goals in him and a great engine just needs a run of games.

I'd have him just as a bog standard cm. Don't think he is quite there to be a defensive mid, as for him being used as a am in a diamond that's not for me his shooting has been way off recently . I've lost count of the amount of shots he has hit over the bar.
6.) 17 Jul 2016 16:59:55
Armstrong could hit a rich vein of form anytime and score a whole go of goals . Not every player scores with every shot . The Euro's winners have had Ronaldo taking all frees outside the box, yet it's years since he actually scored one . Armstrong has always been a versatile midfielder from his days at Dundee Utd and I am sure he is happy that he can play in a variety of midfield positions, as it gives him more opportunity to be picked . IMO Armstrong is a hard worker who gives of his best.

I hope the rumours about Duffy are true as he looks a good addition - fast, likes a tackle. can see him pairing up well with big Erik.
what's happening with Simunovic though?
also. despite all the names bein banded about the one thing we desperately need is a playmaker. a bit of creativity we have missed since the likes of Lubo and Naka.
hate to say it but Broonie looks done to me and meeds to be.
1.) 17 Jul 2016 11:24:55
Simunovic will just have to compete for his place like the other two. Teams like ours should have 4 good centre halves
2.) 17 Jul 2016 16:17:15
Right now i'd settle for two kev!
17 Jul 2016 11:14:26
I honestly do think BR has a couple of big signings in the pipeline but, as usual, these will be hinging on Champs League Qualification.
Apparently Duffy will be signed in time for the next round which plugs an obvious gap - but we really need a creative playmaker and i also think we need a little bit more cover up front incase Griff or Dembele get injured.
the midfield doesn't just need trimmed down it needs freshened up with some real quality - SB and NB just aren't cutting it for me!
