I heard that the deal for Christian Atsu is nearly done,50/ 50 on the wages and he has just one or two things on his bonus scheme to finalize with Newcastle, and 4.5 million fee at end of season loan.
Lenny is the man pushing this one.

Not very excited about this but hope he proves me wrong?

@Lubo, I liked the idea 4/ 5 seasons ago when he was a Chelsea wonderkid, and he nearly came on loan, Lenny I think, must still rate him highly as he’s enquired about him for the last 2 seasons and must think he can do a job. Lenny like all managers make mistakes on signings, but given the fact that he is generally not involved much in the signing process and is from what I hear pushing this one, he also pushed Duffy and Yetti so I will say that his decision making has been decent so far.

Surely we would be hearing more in the media if Astu deal was close can't see it happening.

Malika / Bhoys, do you think we'll see LG play in the Hoops again? Rumours suggesting he'll be off before this window closes.

Agree0 Disagree0

I just can't see this Atsu deal happening, he will end up at a bottom of the league EPL team.

Agree0 Disagree0

@Pedro.
I really hope LG gets his act together, he is for me a great asset, Goals. goals. and more goals, and a Skelper. I just hope Lenny hasn’t had enough of him.

Totally agree Malika, a mentally and physically fit LG is a real asset to the team. HH.

guys love the wee man but HE can't be trusted anymore. get rid.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 10:48:54
nonsense robroy this is a important season and when LG is fit its goals goals goals ye get from him. if he is back to fitness then he messes up again wile fit then i think end of the season club will let him go.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 10:56:46
you can't score goals goals goals when your not on the pitch and griffiths will be OFF the pitch more than he is on it.

Agree1 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 11:05:53
we need to plan with what players we have and stop chopping and changing to fit in a player who should thank god every day for his privilege. as i said earlier i loved and have backed the wee man but this is a very important year and HE can't understand that then he must not upset the team momentum again.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 11:51:39
Nonsense from you United Ireland!
Who do you think should be dropped to accommodate LG?
Ajeti isn't near fit yet still shows a poachers instinct and looks likely to be key player for the team and obviously French Eddy is going to be involved wherever possible. We also have Klimala who is also trying to up his fitness level and has yet to be given a real shot so to me these players are ALL ahead of Griffiths.

As long as Griff gets his hunger back to be the best and first choice pick. If he has list that then it's time for him to move on. we will know in the next few weeks how bad he wants it.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 12:01:54
how can he get fit if he is not getting game time to get fit you need on the field he is in training so he needs games now and he will shut everybody up again.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 13:16:20
Yeh no worries UN. Time will tell but even if he doesn't make it at Celtic he'll have a move to another massive club with him being so good eh?
If I'm proven wrong and Griff turns out to be a massive help to us winning 10 then I'll be the first to come on and admit I'm wrong but I can't see it.
As I sad, time will tell.

Agree0 Disagree0

16 Sep 2020 13:36:43
pod 1 and ui if the wee man comes back to his greatest I will be first on here to admit i got it wrong and i hope i am wrong. the only thing with that is that the team might be disrupted to see if he is reaady.

Agree0 Disagree0

The amount of goals we have in us all over the park is ridiculous. Looking forward to a skelping in October hopefully wee Griff can come on and rub salt into the wounds and we give their defence a showing up. It'll put the doubts back in their heads as they've had it too easy up until now.

Agree0 Disagree0

17 Sep 2020 11:34:35
Griff is miles ahead of Ajeti and the sooner he gets back the better. Last night showed we need him. A piss poor performance and changing it once again worked against us. We need to give Turnbull, Soro and I would out Luca in at LB as Taylor just isn't good enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Sep 2020 14:26:36
We're going back in with an improved offer with add one for doughty.

We certainly draw these things out; it's like two auld codgers playing penny brag (and I should know) . This position should have been urgently addressed the minute Bolingoli went AWOL and here we are five games later and still fannying about.

I'm a left-footer but don't play with my left foot so why does it matter that we can't have a right-footer who doesn't have to be a left-footer playing on the left? Tom Boyd was a right-footer and played on the left at times and didn't do too badly. I'm sure there are plenty of right-footers who can be played on the left who would do a helluva lot better than many left-footers who ply their trade on the left. Look at KT, he was a left-footer who played with his left-foot on the right at times and did better than some right-footers. I rest my case.

Boyd and players like him are rare to find.

15 Sep 2020 16:15:43
Definitely give more balance.

I don't think being left footed is the determining factor but it's a factor

It means you can deliver width and counter opponents trying to go outside.

Ideally we want someone who is

2 footed
Stronger on left foot
Strong and agile
Pacey
Good at crossing
Good at tackling
Good at interplay with left midfielders
Can come inside with ease
Can dominate
Preferably tall (ish)
Track record in 20 plus assists a season
Ability to score around 5 to 6 per season ( with both feet and the head)
Good at delivering setpieces in terms of delivery
Got at defending set pieces
Can play LB LM or LWB. ideally also LW
Good international experience
Proven
Good under pressure

Inexpensive
And not wanting a decent wage

How hard can it be?

Oh, and can illustrate a liking of Celtic or a hatred of sevco.

Get the finger out mr hammond, we are patiently waiting.
