Reading on some sites that we are interested in Shane Duffy. Decent player imo.

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Would love this guy no world class but good player.

Agree0 Disagree3

Better than what we have, not sure it's not just a link because he's Irish and no one has a clue who we're after though, easy link to make while it's so quiet, would be happy if it's true and we got him.

Was just about to post this rumour aswell . would be a good signing.

Rumour originated on CQN, probably nothing to it.

You probably right mt probably just the celtic Irish link.

No thanks just seen his display today. Not a good reader of the game eh?

Agree2 Disagree0

YAYO In my opinion he was a member of an Irish team who all played well for the first half and more . For a ten fifteen minute period he was member of an Irish team the was torn apart by a rampart France team that over -ran the whole Irish team . France played at that stage like the favourites for the Competition.

Hearing BR has offered James Forrest a new contract ED! Tell me this is a joke eh! I honestly thought we'd seen the last of him! 😡😡.

Believable4 Unbelievable3

{Ed007's Note - I've been out all morning but it looks like Rodgers doesn't share our sense of humour and it's not a joke.}

25 Jun 2016 13:57:52
Great wee player.

Agree1 Disagree11

25 Jun 2016 14:04:27
One of the most ineffective players at our club

Agree4 Disagree1

25 Jun 2016 14:22:00
Still only 24 worth keeping imo.

Agree2 Disagree8

25 Jun 2016 14:31:23
Worth keeping! Away and gies peace! Just another piece of deadwood that should be let go ASAP! Cannot believe BR fancies this guy as a player ED! Must say that it's slightly worrying for me if that's what the manager thinks deserves a new deal!

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - How dare you question anything Brendan Rodgers does!}

25 Jun 2016 14:42:50
Waste of space for the last few years, disappointed if this is true, pay as you play with incentives for good performances would be my offer.

Agree0 Disagree1

25 Jun 2016 14:56:42
Is that sarcasm I detect ED? lol. just find it a very strange one mate! He's went down hill rapidly the last couple of seasons and I thought it was a done deal for him to leave! We're right to get rid of the mediocre players not sign them up on a new deal! And for me Forrest is mediocre at best!

Agree3 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - Resigning Forrest and Mulgrew isn't taking the team forward.}

25 Jun 2016 15:16:12
Fresh start for all under br.

Agree1 Disagree2

25 Jun 2016 15:22:24
Absolutely agree! The early signs a bit worrying.

Agree1 Disagree1

25 Jun 2016 15:19:37
Agree with Forrest ED but I think big mulgrew is a good squad player! And I think u need players who know what the clubs all about in and around the place! Wouldn't bother me to much if he stayed! But your forrests And ambrose have got to be shown the door! Anything in this Shane Duffy thing ED? Not seen much of the big guy but he looks like the sort of no nonsense player we maybe need! What u think buddy?

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - Mulgrew is no better than Ambrose so why give one a new contract when you've got one under contract already? I've no idea where the Shane Duffy story came from but unless Rodgers has continued to to tap up players from his Liverpool days I can't see him unsettling a player at a major tournament.}

25 Jun 2016 15:26:55
your spot on ed they are two pieces of deadwood who should be shipped out. Wee Patrick Roberts has done more for Celtic in his short six month spell than Forrest has done in all his time here.

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - Forrest isn't good enough to be called deadwood.}

25 Jun 2016 15:33:03
Maybe BR thinks he can get something better out of them as players, it was obvious that Ronnie didn't have a clue about man management, and maybe BR thinks if thy're handled the right way, they can be beneficial to the team he is trying to mould together, but if it was up to me I would let them go and try and bring thru some of the younger players, who are never going to get a chance, if we keep hanging on to the players who have had their chance to shine.

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jun 2016 17:09:43
Or maybe he has no transfer money.

Agree3 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - You stop stirring things! (giggle)

25 Jun 2016 17:53:12
So now we are keeping players because they are only 24??

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2016 17:58:57
Br judgment will do for me I'll let him decide what's dead wood and what's not.

Agree1 Disagree2

25 Jun 2016 18:02:26
Got to disagree ED! There's no way in hell mulgrew is on the same level as ambrose! Forrest on the other hand is a different story! Just hope DRB isn't on to something when he suggests there isn't this big transfer budget some were expecting when BR came in! Not panicking just yet of course lol. still plenty of time to go yet! But just a few wee signs to worry about!

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - Don't worry about the money and I'm sure we'll sign a couple of players that will excite the fans.}

25 Jun 2016 19:11:46
ED007 had a pint today with a couple of my Tim pals, one who seems to hear titbits from insid the club. He told me that Rodgers was willing to sign Sinclair but not at any cost, he has had a look at Forrest and had a chat and seems to be willing to give him another go, on the proviso his attitude is more positive. Maybe not what a lot of fans want to hear, but on the plus side, Rodgers is not going to pay inflated prices for English based players if he thinks players already on the books can improve the team.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Jun 2016 18:55:25
Hope your right buddy 👍🏻👍🏻.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - And then we can all put on our big :=D

25 Jun 2016 22:22:57
I've still got my :) since br took over all abort the Brendan bus let's back our team whether it be efe Forrest Allan Christie commons griff or new bhoys c'mon lads be bhoys not ghirls come together hail hail.

Agree0 Disagree0

Aboard auto correct is a bitch.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2016 00:06:41
I can't belive it. We must of upped the offer that he turned down as well! Anyone that has watched him play can tell he just doesn't have it. He drives me nuts every time he he's on. The only way this would make any kind of sense is if we were confident we could sell him in a years time.
That idea doesn't even make sense as a years wages at say 12k would leave us at a loss as I could only see a club down south offering 500k max for him. If any club even wanted him!
It is a complete farce if true. Any game time he is given will take mins off of guys like nesbit.

Agree1 Disagree1

Question for you ed. Does Forrest have a few fan boys on the board? For the life of me I can't understand why he has been here so long and ex mangers/ pundits have praised him and with my own eyes I've personally seen nothing to merit it. Fair enough at the beginning he had potential and imo was riding on mcgeady's coat tails as we were convinced our academy was going to be churning out top players year on year. How that positivity has lasted so long with him baffles me.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I've no idea mate, I can't understand it myself. Once Forrest hit 21 I knew he was never going to make it af Celtic and his attitude's always been a bit suspect to. And then there's his injury record. I think the comparison to McGeady is pretty accurate as neither of them will ever fulfill their potential. I'm thinking Forrest has not had the kind of offers he was expecting and needs to take the supposed reduced terms we offered him.}

26 Jun 2016 02:42:47
Hoops next post will have talk of commons signing a new 2yr deal and Griffiths being loaned to Swansea.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - See now you mention it, if Mulgrew has been offered a 3 year deal what happened to the policy of only offering 30+ players a year deal that was the problem? Wee Lisa's campaign worked better than the Remain one by the looks of it. All joking aside I think it's a good policy to have, a lot of the English sides use it from what I've seen.}

26 Jun 2016 05:37:50
Forrest is utter utter utter gash!

Agree2 Disagree0

26 Jun 2016 09:11:39
I'm still holding out hope that the reason we're all quiet on the transfer front is due to looking at a higher calibre of player i. e. Players at euros. Said before i think we'll go with what we've got for 1st qualifying round.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2016 09:32:12
I think Brendan has told James forrest to prove he's worth a new deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2016 14:12:12
What if Forrest gets a run of games and comes good, am not his biggest fan either but remember MON with Petta?

Ed, do you know if Commons will be given another chance and if so do what position would you play him?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Just like under RD I don't see where Commons would fit in any Celtic team unless Rodgers is going to do what Lennon done and change his team and tactics to accommodate him.}

26 Jun 2016 23:44:10
I must have read this wrong, probably due to my age, but I haven't interpreted Brendan Rodgers as saying that he is giving Forrest his new contract . As far as I understand as far as B R is concerned he likes the wee bit he has seen of Forrest and it is up to James to prove himself between now and December .
To me I M O that is reasonable and fair, if Forrest is injury free and plays well, I cannot see why he doesn't deserve some type of contract .
If he isn't up to it he is out at the end of his contract, not much controversy in that .

Agree0 Disagree0
