Reading that toney was actually in our building and we still couldn't do a deal, yep all down to money think he was a mill more than ajeti by getting ajeti we lost 4 . can't blame lenny for that one.

Agree Mally and I'm sure Ed007 has mentioned it a few times.
It would seem that PL has cost us a few players by trying to go back on verbal agreements at the last minute when he thinks he's got the player/ agent or selling club over a barrell and it's cost us dearly, John McGinn is another exampme.

See if anyone thinks toney would have scored as many goals or made as many assists at celtic they are on the glue
The service our strikers receive is one of the major problems in that team.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 13:32:12
Another way to look at would be that if Ajeti went to Brentford and got the game time and service Toney has then I'm sure he'd have banged in goals down there.

Watch toney Kev he leads the line is quick good in the air runs the channels and scores goals, he's 10 times the player ajeti is, why did a sh@t west ham team mot play him why did a sh@t celtic team not play him.

Good point kev.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 14:43:16
Mally ajeti has played and scored goals at a higher level than toney ever has.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 15:20:32
Ajeti just looks really unfit to me, maybe with the benefit of a pre-season under his belt we might hopefully see a different player.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 15:31:29
So has Duffy?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 15:35:24
I would not rule Ajeti out yet for being a good Celtic player with the right manager in I would not rule out any of our players playing in their natural positions I guess time will tell.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 16:13:14
The guy run riot in the Swiss league. If we get him fit and play him properly he was score 20 odd goals a season no bother.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 16:34:36
He may well imo toney looks a better player, a lot more to his game than ajeti who looks not the most mobile.

Agree5 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 16:51:16
I've seen enough of ajeti to see he will score goals no problem but anybofy who doesny think Toney is a player are kidding themselves.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Look at the way Edouard has performed this season, how does anyone know Toney how would have been as effective for Celtic as he has been at Brentford, would be all moaning about how unfit he looks, how he doesn't look interested or how he doesn't seem to have a clue what the manager has asked him to do?
Toney would have been doing the exact same training and coaching as a squad of players who have struggled with self-belief, fitness and form all season.}

25 Feb 2021 18:00:39
that doesn't take away what he's done at brentford though ed and is the top scorer in britain. but mallys original point only said he was in the building and we never got the deal done that stephen mcgoan said.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I don't believe for a minute that Toney was at Celtic Park.}

25 Feb 2021 18:20:19
Pathetic that Ajeti isn't fit. Has he no professional pride. Kilmala got himself fit. Been here nearly a full season and not fit. Poor attitude Poor professional money wasted.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 18:21:28
I agree with Kev on this one, if we get Ajeti fit and play someone else up top to lead the line. I think he can be a real asset for us.
I also wouldn't be ruling Barkas out at this point either, I can see why this season must have been tremendously difficult for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 18:40:15
Riyjac your right he will I've actually been one of his biggest fans this season and constantly tell my mates he will score a load of goals for us if we feed him but that doesn't take away from the player that Toney is and would have been for us and imo will go on to bigger things than Brentford.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 18:44:39
Why isn't he fit in March they can train on their own. the gym the facilities are there. look at his body shape he makes griff look like an athlete.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 19:01:14
I think the reason possibly is he didn't have a pre-season under his belt, he has then had a few injuries also. I'm no expert though.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 19:45:48
THREE of the five party goers from ibrox are on the bench for the rangers tonight. So much for being punished by the club. Wonder if the Rena Gera centric media who wanted Celtic kicked out the league will have an opinion on it. Wonder if wee Jimmy krankie will have an opinion. Somehow I doubt it on both counts.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 20:19:52
I think there's a player in Ajeti, fitness and slimfast shakes and he'll be banging the goals in!

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 21:59:17
Ivan Toney is very good in the air, leads frontline, can play as part of 2 upfront and bullies defences. Ajeti does not.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 23:45:44
I think McGowan must have been exaggerating for effect when he said Toney was in the building unless the club were being a bit naughty. Did Barry Fry not confirm we never agreed a fee?

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2021 11:12:15
Our biggest issue in attack this season is width. Teams parking the bus yet we try walk it through the middle. Which means Eddy or whoever is partnering him have 2/ 3 players all over them when they get the ball.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 11:14:02
I read that Packie Bonner has recommended Jesse Marsch for the managers job.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Feb 2021 12:16:04
His salzburg teams are always good to watch.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 15:37:33
He would be great but does anyone think that he would leave Salzburg for us? I can't see it but it would be great.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 08:44:01
David Wagner had apparently put his name down for the job.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

25 Feb 2021 10:40:00
Think that would be a good appointment.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 11:08:38
Horrendous manager. Would rather bring Lennon back.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 11:08:45
IMO David Wagner is a far better assistant than manager, his record isn't great.
Given the choice I'd take Philip Cocu.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 13:30:42
Funny how people look at things eh.
Wagner out performed Coco in England.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 14:06:44
True, Wagner also lost 18 games on the bounce in Germany Kev.

Cocu won 3 league titles in the space of 5 seasons in Holland with PSV, which is a league probably comparable in size to Scotland, as well as a Cup when he was caretaker manager there also.

Does any of that mean anything, who knows?

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 15:33:41
Pedro have you seen the state shalke they have been in turmoil. Since march 2019 they've changed manager 5 time (thought twice was interm) the guy directly after wagner lasted 11 games or something like that. Full club is chaos, 200 million in debt. Not that I am saying he's the man for the job though.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 20:21:10
Fair do's Kev, I didn't know Shalke were in such a state.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Feb 2021 20:22:49
Who would you like to see come in as manager Kev?

Agree0 Disagree0
