With the window due to open what positions do people think we need to strengthen? Also who would they like to see leave the club?

If we get the 3 Japanese bhoys in then leaving the club for me would be

Barkas - Loan/ Sell
Urhoghide - Loan to SPL
Boli - Sell
Shaw - Loan to SPL
Montgomery - Loan SPL/ Possibly keep for cover
Ajeti - Sell
Soro - Loan/ Sell

If we get the 3 Japanese boys then we maybe only need another winger to cover both flanks either a loan or a youngster like Markanday in.

Joe Hart will be 35 years old when this season ends and we should be looking for his long term replacement in the summer.
Celtic should try and move on both Barkas and Bain. A decision will also need to be made on Hazard.
Hazard will be 24 years old when this season ends and if he isn’t good enough to be our future number 1 keeper, Celtic will need to buy a new keeper next season that can challenge Joe Hart.
Both Bain and Hazard’s contracts expire on May 31st 2023.

Julien should be sold when fit. Even if we sign CCV we need another dominant CD and a GK.

100% agree BuzzBomb, I'm not convinced Barkas/ Bain or Hazzard are good enough.

Hart could play for another 2 or 3 seasons, whether as first choice or back up should we bring in his potential replacement in the summer window (all things being fair and equal) .

Good reports about the young GK we got from Spurs, he could well be 3rd choice as soon as next season.

I think we may already have Harts replacement in the young English U23's goalkeeper, sorry I've forgot the boys name.

Agree, Oluwayemi is meant to be highly rated. Maybe wise to get him out on loan to gain some first team experience in the lower leagues for now while Bain is still here. Really can't see Hazard being the answer he won us the cup but dropped some clangers in a few games prior and doesn't look to be good enough to compete for the #1 jersey.

Got told good things about the young Keeper.

How many players have we heard good things about, some players just don't live up to the potential,

Hart is only 34 and when you consider how good Gordon and McGregor have been at 39 and 40 then big Joe has a fair bit to go in my opinion.

I agree royjac, I can see Hart being our No:1 for the next 4 or 5 years if he wants to stay.
The problem we may have is if he continues to play well then an English team may come back in for bhim and offer him there No:1 Jersey.
I'm not saying he could go for money but one last lost in the EPL may be tempting for him after a couple of years up here.

I don't think he would Jonbhoy he has done it all down there before and has nothing to prove to anyone, I think he has fallen in love with the hoops and I can see him staying for a good while ??.

I hope so Roy as I honestly think he will be the difference between winning and losing the league.
