Celtic have triggered a year's extension on Izaguirre's contract. That's a great piece of business, we need back-up for KT and Izaguirre seems to be more than happy to be that.

nothing exciting about it.

Great news but I hope that isn't an indication that we fear losing KT.

Agree6 Disagree12

{Ed007's Note - Relax, KT will be a Celtic player for the foreseeable future. He has told the Club and his agent that he has no intentions of leaving Celtic and he has told a couple of people that he'll be here for The 10 by which time he'll still only be turning 24 that summer.}

It might not exactly be exciting James but it's good continuity. Izzy is about as good as I would expect a back-up to be, whilst being content.

i like izzy jim, but its not exactly moving the club forward is it?

Agree11 Disagree20

09 May 2017 22:01:22
its not going to move us any further forward jim, he should be shown the door along with the rest of the dead wood.

As long as we sign a left footed quick cb in the summer that can do a job there if needed Izzy is fine for a 3rd choice backup.

Izzy is still a cracking player. He played for 3 months when KT was injured and was excellent. To call him 'deadwood' is laughable. Would people rather we let him go then spent money on back-up to KT that could be better used elsewhere? Need some continuity in the squad if we are to hit the ground running for the qualifiers.

Agree with LM67. Still unsure about someone who is happy to be back up but I suppose if he's getting a decent wage and his family is happy. gen up. that's all that matters. Crackin' player. Final ball is shit, but hey hoh! definitely a Bhoy forever!

hes done at 31, no need to spend just promote one of our own youngsters, nothing laughable in saying izzy's best days are behind him its a fact, i like izzy but we need to build for the future.

It's not particularly moving the club forward James, no. But KT will. And I wouldn't put Izzy in the 'dead wood' bracket because he is serving a purpose, albeit as back up to KT. Like LM says, there wouldn't be much point in going out getting a LB as promising as KT, mainly because we couldn't afford to unless KT was sold; and nobody would want that surely. Let's put that money towards a priority, not a LB. A year extension is good in my eyes, and hopefully over the next season a youngster might develop and get a chance to show that he could be understudy to KT. Then Izzy could be shown the door.

Not sure if KT was injured for 3 months next seasono it's fair to expect Calvin Miller to step in at short-notice.

This makes sense to me - Izzy loves the club and he's not on a big wage. I'm sure this coming will season will see Miller get more exposure and hopefully enough for him to cement his place in the first team squad.

Spending a couple of million on someone we don't realistically expect to challenge for KT's place would be naive.

Agree0 Disagree3

{Ed007's Note - I'm hoping Rodgers has seen the error of his ways regarding Miller at LB, he's still listed as a striker on the official site so fingers crossed that he isn't going to be 'Brendaned' as they called it at Liverpool where he made some bizarre choices regarding young players.}

young ralston could easily move across from right back to left back if kt was injured.

Agree5 Disagree13

I haven't seen a great deal of Miller but have heard and read lots of promising stuff. Moving a telented young forward to full back was bizarre to say the least. The fact Miller has been playing as a left forward again with the youths suggests that one has been knocked on the head.

According to the Snide he has told friends he is going to Liverpool in the summer but don't know if that is true.

Apparently, Charly Musonda was given a tour round Parkhead with a view to a move in the summer. Though I heard this from the same apprentice that told me rangers wanted Tevez.

I'm sure Rangers did want Tevez. To be fair they probably wanted Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar too but that's life.
