A think the Josh Maja is a non starter his agent thinks our wage structure would be a problem, wonder what kind of wage he's on and looking for lol.

According to sky he was offered a wage rise of 7 times what he was already on and said it was roughly£10k a week and he knocked it back, probably looking for at least double that.

Oft definitely not signing for us then. A just hope Celtic sign a quality right back this window and we don’t waste money on silly signings like yaya when it’s not needed.

Adam Mathews?

15 Jan 2019 23:07:11
What even happened to Adam Matthews, JFP--totally forgot about him. Thought he was great here.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 23:24:33
That's not a bad shout JFP, steady player and a good age at 26,didn't do a lot wrong when he was here a few years back.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 23:58:50
Never really heard of him until the rumours occurred. Another egotistical, overpaid, overated player in the pub League no doubt.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Jan 2019 08:06:11
Never heard of him Bravetart? What age are you 6? He played 100 odd games for Celtic from 2011-2015.

Josh Maja there talking about Stevie.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jan 2019 11:27:03
Apologies Bravetart, thought it was a new thread when JFP mentioned Matthews 😂😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jan 2019 13:08:08
Yeah had to read back I commented on the right thread there I meant Maja 😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jan 2019 14:20:21
Mathews was constantly injured in his first spell. Maja looks a player from what I have seen. He’s young and if we get him for nothing it could be a similar situation to the Dembele deal.

Well folks its on the Aberdeen twitter page:
Mckenna to us with hayes going there Perm and Hendry on loan.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

15 Jan 2019 17:22:17
I just went on and checked their page and can't see any of that.

Not sure but I think that’s a snide account . Spelling is incorrect, no fee mentioned .

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 18:11:39
100% fake.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 18:35:45
Fake account, its also got some really bad Photoshop posts and other stupid stories. try scrolling down!

15 Jan 2019 18:41:57
sorry guys, I seen it but thought it was genuine.

EDs going put this rubbish rumour of McKenna speaking to Celtic to bed please?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - He isn't.}

15 Jan 2019 13:39:58
Thanks ED what’s your thoughts on this Yaya Toure talk?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's pish!}

15 Jan 2019 13:59:23
I know Celtic are keen on McKenna but with Boyata staying at the moment is this an indication that no CB are coming in this window because of McKenna not coming?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 14:25:33
McKenna is in Glasgow.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 14:07:05
No need to go straight to the point Ed LMAO.

{Ed007's Note - 😁

15 Jan 2019 14:40:46
There are a lot of people in glasgow today.

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 14:49:15
Nice of Celtic to cut off negotiation with McKenna so he can do drive time radio for Heart fm. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 17:41:08
Even if McKenna does sign, he won’t get away with half the tackles he makes when he is wearing a Celtic shirt. Refs will love sending him off.

Agree3 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 12:29:13
Is there any news on KT?
Been bombarded all week with the Andy Murray hip injury situation and I really hope KT doesn't have a similar problem now or in the future.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

15 Jan 2019 12:07:41
Just heard a rumour that McKenna will be talking to Celtic at some point today.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

15 Jan 2019 12:17:36
I just seen that James Forrest say that he has a really good source who has said there is a really good chance he is actually at Celtic Park. I like him but I will believe it when i see it tho.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 12:24:39
Us it reluable kev.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 12:42:48
Disappointed with this to be fair. Surely a fee has been agreed if he is to be at Celtic for talks? Be interesting to see what the deal would be perhaps loan back to Aberdeen for rest of season or Hendry on loan? Hayes part of the deal too?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 12:43:05
If he did sign he'll bring something that's missing in our back 4 apart from kt is steel he'd kick his granny.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:07:12
What I have seen is hate permanent and Hendry on loan, that’s obviously just speculation. Bravetart86 it’s the man Rodgers has been chasing since the summer so that’s the man we want to be making the decisions on the players we need so we have to back that or there is no point. I rated him personally, he would kick his granny and he is good with the ball at his feet. Our defence is soft outwith tierney.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:08:37
May be ideal if hayes on permanent to get off wage bill and hendry on loan to develop.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:48:46
I just got a text fae a mate. But have now read it on a Celtic blog.

I hope it's not true to be honest.
He's as bad as boyata when it comes to passing and I am a quicker runner than him.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 12:04:01
Mckenna to sign. On a celtic web page, saying its from very reliable source. If so we will probably loan him back to aberdeen and let boyata run his contract out.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

15 Jan 2019 12:13:24
Don't think he will be loaned back. More likely Hendry and Hayes going there.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:08:26
No chance he will be loaned back, he will be put straight in there I think. Has to be getting ready for next season . I heard Hendry on loan and Hayes permanent with a 4.5 million fee.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:26:12
Is it just me that prefers Hendry?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:41:20
JimTim i think Hendry just needs a good run of games. Think there is a player there and a loan spell will do him well.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:49:02
No jim.

15 Jan 2019 16:38:40
Thanks for the vote of confidence phil and kev. I've just seen quite a few posts throughout the season suggesting we try to sign McKenna and we should be looking at better if we're going to sign yet another CB. I mean that's without even going into the fact we have a much better prospect in Ajer who can't get a game. If Boyata is still here the end of the window then for me we go with Benkovic and Ajer and Boyata can rot in the reserves for all I care.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 17:24:28
McKenna is a better defender than ajer, fact. He may not be the prettiest to watch but he defends well, I watched the sons 2 games against Burnley and he was immense over the 2 games.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 19:19:29
@ royjac, a better defender? Possibly. I'd still lean towards no thpugh. A better footballer? No. Given McKenna is a couple years older, a better prospect (which is the point I made) ? Not for me either.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 20:45:09
Primarily a defender has to defend and command his area and I think the lad McKenna does that well for his age, While I think Ajer is a great prospect I don't think he is too clever defending in the area, Although his distribution is probably better.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 21:07:50
Fair enough points there royjac but I still think we should be aiming for better than McKenna.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Jan 2019 20:27:25
I thought Hendry had a really good game against Aberdeen at CP and coped superbly with May who is very physical and can unsettle defenders using his strength. I’d like to keep him and try to develop him.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jan 2019 23:36:10
After daily record reporting Celtic not interested in Yaya Toure they are now reporting that Yaya is open to a possible move after hearing him on sky sports the night.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

15 Jan 2019 11:28:30
Heard that we may be open to a swap deal with Porto for Ntcham, we get Mbemba that they signed from Newcastle plus some cash. Given Ntchams poor form this season id take that.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 11:51:00
ntcham has been in and out of form this season but the over reaction to this is poor, he's still a young player there always going to have dips in form. i don't buy this whole he is unhappy coz moussa left he wouldn't have signed a new contract if he wanted out.

Agree2 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 12:45:24
For someone that's now a squad player and not starting 11,In and out of form £14m is a good deal. Spend another £4m on replacement and more money in the bank.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Jan 2019 13:10:12
For me this is very common at Celtic, the second season seems to give players issues. Commons was exactly the same, he hit the ground running and then couldn’t get going the season after. Ntcham is class and we need to keep that quality of player at the club.

Agree0 Disagree0
