Thought Jota would have gotten another game to get up to speed for Wednesday.

08 Feb 2025 16:48:39
I thought the same and if you're Kenny you've got to be wondering what you need to do to get a start.

Honestly don’t understand what Nawrocki has done to be treated the way he has been, his Celtic career is over if he can’t get a game ahead of a young lad. Obviously BR sees him every day and doesn’t fancy him but the guy hasn’t even had a chance to impress, he looked actually ok at times last season.

Kenny looks promising but needs to learn the tactical side of the role and how to press effectively.
I am sure he will make an appearance at some point tonight.

Greg Taylor has reportedly now signed a pre contract with Dinamo zagbreb to join when his contract expires in the summer.
2
06 Feb 2025 18:43:40
He plays the inverted fullback role very well.
Greg had a slow start to his Celtic career but he’s been brilliant for the last 4 seasons.
Overall Taylor was a great signing for Celtic.

Put his arse on the bench and let big Jeff play the rest of the season.

07 Feb 2025 17:02:44
Great servant for us and top man on the dressing room.
If he wants to look after himself and family… all ok with me.
BR will play him right up to and including our last game this season.
It’s a pity he is leaving.

{Ed007's Note - Rodgers said today that Taylor hasn't signed for Dinamo Zagreb and that he's still hopeful that he'll stay.}

Fingers crossed.

I'd love Taylor to stay. Although as backup which he is too good for. Fantastic professional and excellant at domestic level but he is the one player that struggles most at the jump between domestic and euro competitions. We simply need to improve that position if we want to improve in europe.
I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to move on especially if he feels he will play less with KT coming in.

08 Feb 2025 12:23:16
I agree DerryTim, I would keep Taylor but only as a backup. I just feel when we’re at full strength he’s always the weak link, and is badly exposed when up against better players in Europe. I see him more as Tony ralstons level, solid and dependable but we could do better as is the case with Johnston on the other side. I would love to keep him in the squad but I can’t see Celtic paying him what he wants if they’re paying KT a good wage and GT will be backup
I’m sure he’s a decent guy amongst the lads and a big personality inside the dressing room which will be a miss but at the end of the day if we are to improve we need to upgrade, if tierney can manage his fitness and injury issues and play to how we know he can he’s levels above Taylor.

Players like Taylor and Ralston are almost as important as a team’s very best players . We know we are in trouble this season as CCV continues to be crocked far more than we would like and we are replacing him with a left sided centre back, which causes trouble.
Ralston demonstrates his reliability as right back when he eases into RB position without causing much disruption. Taylor would do the same if and when
KT is first choice right back . History, although no indication of future shows KT breaking down a lot and Taylor would be perfect, but if he wants to go, we can’t stop him .
Wages in Croatia may not be much higher than he could get in Scotland, but I believe the cost of living is about 30% lower than UK.

Still wondering why McGregors getting a game the now. Absolutely pants. Id like to see us change it up in the midfield.

05 Feb 2025 19:12:48
Khun ain't going to be happy.

06 Feb 2025 00:44:17
I am not sure, although most players will want to start, I am sure BR has instilled on all players the need to have frequent breaks .
BR has midfield and wingers all given rests of either opening 60 mins or closing 20- 30 mins .
This leaves us with very few injuries .

06 Feb 2025 10:27:18
If your watching Celtic and think McGregor is pants. Maybe football isn't for you. We have and are watching a Celtic legend.

It's the world we now live in Auf, no middle ground anymore, one week we're all world beaters, the next sack them all. It used to be your only as good as your last game now your only as good as your last pass.

Team for tonight?
Kasper, AJ, CCV, Trusty, Taylor, Callum, McCowan, Engels, maeda, Kuhn, idah.

IF the stories in the press are true (Yes press stories and truth do not go together)
But there is a ring of truth that Brondby wanted around
£11m for Kvistgarden, which considering we got £10m for Kyogo I don't think Brondby were wrong in valuing their player.
No I blame our Board for again going in with low ball offers
I read also the winger we were after went to Dinamo Zagreb for 1 million EUROS about £890k yet again stories of us going in with cheapskate offers.
0
05 Feb 2025 14:51:26
Also, when asked if he thought there were any noticeable premiums added to player values, Rodgers said "no".
0
05 Feb 2025 14:53:43
Not sure what Zagreb winger you're on about though. That's news to me.

05 Feb 2025 19:30:25
@ Timalloy so you reckon Celtic should pay £11m for a guy who has scored 38 goals in 4 years and is not a full international just because that’s what Brondby want? I think Celtic are right to offer below that valuation as I can’t see how he is worth £11m.
Bet you would be first to mock Rangers fans for there high valuation of Igamane when his stats are not much different and I wouldn't give them £11 million for him either!

17yr old Irish striker Mason melia has signed for spurs for an Irish league record for £1.6m
He was shown about celtic park a few weeks back. Im not sure if we bid for him in the end but we were very interested.
1
05 Feb 2025 09:54:16
Sorry DerryTim but we do not want any MASONS near Celtic Park.
2
05 Feb 2025 17:23:21
It was reported this morning on RTÉ radio that Celtic went in very hard to sign him but he wanted to go to the EPL and couldn’t be persuaded to go to Celtic.

Ed do you know if Celtic were actually interested in Iheanacho? If so did Middlesboro just offer him more money? A bit embarrassing losing out to them if true and BR will rightly be raging.
0
{Ed007's Note - It was Iheanacho's agent that "leaked" we were interested in him which was probably just to force other interested team's to firm up their offers. As far as I know nobody from Celtic spoke to his agent.}

04 Feb 2025 13:30:14
Has KT actually signed a pre-contract? Normally these things are done with some official comms, pics etc. Nothing from either club and seen a few articles today saying he hasn't signed anything, only verbal agreement.
1
04 Feb 2025 15:28:07
We don't do a lot of precontracts so not too sure of the process/ etiquette, he's still an Arsenal player at the end of the day so can't exactly be working for celtic in any way right now (ie photo ops/ interviews/ etc) .
Part of me hopes we might have some sort of get out with it, I can see him playing for Arsenal at some point between now and May and geting injured and ruled out for a year.
3
{Ed007's Note - I'm 99% certain that pre-contracts need to be registered with the relevant FAs and UEFA/FIFA TMS, it's also worth noting I suppose that under English (UK?) law pre-contracts are not legally binding.}
0
04 Feb 2025 17:04:58
Are pre contract agreements pending a medical? Always thought medical had to be passed to validate the contracts.

{Ed007's Note - Spot on 👍🏼👍🏼

Ed, pre contracts are legally binding in England and Scotland. They may be subject to certain conditions and clauses but they are watertight.
The subtle difference is a letter of intent which whilst enforceable in England, it cannot be enforced in Scotland, as its viewed here as only an intention.
0
{Ed007's Note - www.blakemorgan.co.uk/the-enforceability-of-pre-contracts-in-football/
"The enforceability of a pre-contract will depend on the specific terms of the agreement. Pre-contracts are generally not binding under English law as they are usually marked ‘Subject to Contract’ and are simply a commitment by the parties to enter into a later contract. The difference between a pre-contract and a contract is that the parties to the pre-contract have not agreed the essential terms and so the pre-contract does not reflect the final agreement. However, if a pre-contract contains all the essential terms that have been agreed, then the pre-contract is effectively a final contract and is likely to be binding."
0
04 Feb 2025 19:31:30
Ed, my clear understanding is that these pre contracts are full contracts and come into force on the due date. Everything is detailed in them right down to weekly salary. This ties in with your good explanatory note.
No doubting, certain conditions need to be met, the obvious one is “pass medical. ”
Not wanting to be pedantic or drag this out but the original substantive point is has/ can KT / Arsenal get out of this? I feel the answer is no.
Can’t think of anyone who has?
0
{Ed007's Note - Yeah no need to get bogged down in it but just going by that article it's legally binding with FIFA but might not stand up in a law court. I found an article where former Pub League player Peter Odemwingie cancelled his pre-contract because he got a better offer.
My main question is though, has KT actually put pen to paper on the pre-contract or is it only a verbal agreement? Did Rodgers mention him today?}

05 Feb 2025 17:29:12
If and when Celtic do sign him and he completes a medical, his insurance will certainly exclude certain injuries and medical problems that KT has already had, they will be regarded as pre existing conditions . His medical is unlikely to state that these injuries have completely cleared up and are not likely to recur .
There won’t be insurance for repeat injuries.

Celtic have decided to play the long game with our next striker.
I think it's been a knock on effect from the shocking substitutions made against Aston Villa, when we desperately needed a goal to give us a better draw in the CL playoffs.
The Celtic Board know we have no chance against Bayern due to the open formation we play and the gulf between both squads.
I believe Celtic would've brought a striker in this window if the draw had been kinder.
Our Board also know that the latest Ibrox club have accepted being 2nd best and this transfer window proved that fact.
I don't mind waiting for the right man in the summer.
We need big Idah to do a Giakoumakis who crucially banged the goals in when Kyogo was injured for 4 months in the 2021/ 22 season.
We might get away with it but Brendan will be fearing the days will be back soon, when we were forced to play wingers Mikey Johnstone and Lewis Morgan through the middle, when he was previously here.

04 Feb 2025 15:32:27
I tend to agree, with Idah, Maeda, Jota and Kuhn we have more than enough to blitz everyone domestically. Appreciate we may have some injuries at points but Kenny deserves a chance, and hopefully Forrest is back fit soon - would love to see him play a part this season and collect the medals that will see him top the list.
End of the day, we could have signed Haaland yesterday and still been thumped by Bayern, so why bother. I've no doubt we're looking at some targets, Kvistgarden/ Streller, possibly it is them - no team wants to lose thier best player in January, they'll be much easier to deal with in the summer.
0
04 Feb 2025 16:25:15
The reason to bother is that we should be looking beyond the BM game and having people up to speed for the qualifiers. The old adage still stands, if we prepare for Europe, the domestic stuff is already taken care of.

04 Feb 2025 16:26:38
Time to put some trust in Kenny and Murray we've no other option as if idah not available we fall back on maeda and if ccv ain't available instead of playing 2 leftys which doesn't work imo it's Murray.

Rodgers regarding transfer activity - ‘there’s loads of work going on behind the scenes’
Really? How many times did we hear that during the window. He must be raging. He mentioned in recent AGMs about learning lessons from past windows and being better prepared going forward.
Yet again it’s always the same, scraping the barrel in the final hours instead of doing our homework and being prepared.
We’re in a weaker position, albeit we should have enough to see the season out. But it’s a mess and we’re not going about things like a ‘big club’. Finger crossed we don’t hit a bad run of form or pick up injuries to key positions.

04 Feb 2025 14:13:17
on course for a treble in the next round a champions league first time in 13 year . look across at the govan team now that's what you call a mess.
4
04 Feb 2025 15:22:05
You’re UI, they are a mess, but I’m only interested in what we do. We sell our main striker without a replacement being lined up. The fact the manager and CEO etc flew to London on the final day mob handed for a 32 y/ o utility player proves we were not prepared.
