With a lot of talk on here and in the media about ex players returning im just curious to see if anyone would complain if this was our starting 11 on the opening day of the season.
A bit of banter obviously
forster
johnston ccv vvd tierney
wanyama ajer oriley
edouard dembele jota
What a team that would have been if they were all celts together at their peak.
Would cause problems for any team.

As for the shirt sales ?

I'd complain, playing a defender in midfield instead of calmac.
{Ed007's Note - I'd have Ajer alongside VVD before CCV.}

Is there any truth in the tierney or Jota rumours?
08 Jun 2024 18:57:59
Ajer was better at RB.

Ajer is a good player but not in a month of Sundays would I start him before CCV. Him and VVD would barely concede a goal. Both stroll it in scotland.
{Ed007's Note - So who's been playing in the Pub League and who is seen as not good/tall enough to play in that league? You don't blame one of our CB's for the amount of goals we concede from crosses? Celtic are the biggest club CCV will ever play for, he's not really rated outside Scotland, he's poor in the air and is easily outmuscled by physical strikers.

I’m a fan and personally think he’s been the best CB since VVD. I also like Ajer but think CCV’s reading of the game is excellent. The composure and leadership he brings to the team when playing is sorely missed when he is not available. When McGregor was out injured it didn’t have the same impact on the team. Personally I think CCV is the fulcrum of this current teams success.

I like CCV as he is a decent player but I'll tell you he is nowhere near as good as some Celtic fans seem to think he is, I've read some Celtic fans saying he is worth 20m some saying 30m. We wouldn't get anywhere near that for him, in my opinion we could get about 10m tops for him if we were lucky.

I would complain as I don't want Forster back.
He was great when he was here before but we need a younger keeper that we can build the defence around for the next 4 or 5 years and yes we brought Hart in when he was 34 but Forster is 36 and hardly played in 3 years.

That’s a great debate between CCV and Ajer because they are both brilliant players.
I would probably favour CCV.
I don’t agree he is easily outmuscled by anyone because that’s his main attribute.

Ajer has far bigger skill set than CCV. Him beside VVD would rip it up.
09 Jun 2024 19:16:08
Ajer is a big lad but he also wasn't very good in the air. Was good with ball at his feet but he wasn't quick either imo.
I just think CCV reads the game better but I think going forward with the ball at his feet, Ajer is better.
Neither get anywhere near to VVD, he really was a Rolls Royce.
