Hi all hope you are well. Hearing there Cummings is signing for west Ham. How do we fix our top talent from moving on like this? I know some will leave and we don't hear of them again, I'm more concerned with the Doak and Cumming type.

We can't stop it I'm afraid. Even playing them is no guarantee they won't do it. Remember Liam Miller left us for man utd and would not sign a new contract.

I was being educated by a gentleman who had a son in a former celtic youth age group, same as MJ, and his son after being released never continued as leaving celtic would be a step down!
BR example of cal mac as Ed posted above is a true reflection of many young players, especially with social media and pushy parents, they think they are at a level before they earn that right!
If financially they are offered more lucrative deals its hard to argue, we all want a better paid job, but many will leave thinking the pathway is better, those that do I would say aren't as interested in our club, therefore no need to worry, let them go, keep the ones who want to earn the right to play.

If they're good enough they're old enough. So they say.

Turner 1964 I agree 100% . Top young players are ten a penny . Agents are far more interested in getting involved with youngsters nowadays . Some agents are decent, as far as agents go however there are a number of agents with links to criminality and loyalists paramilitaries. These agents were pushing hard to get young players on their books and our Peter L gave up plenty of time and petrol to try to prevent innocent youngsters falling into their hands . Retaliation is blame for the car bomb at PL house which almost killed a grand child.

Cummings is a better striker than Idah, but he is not Irish .

Hi all,
Agree with comments today. AJ Kuhn and CCV totally off it today. Better performance second half.
Wonder if any action taken against Cerny hitting fans with water? Also should action be taken against Diomande pretending to shoot at our fans after he scored? Kent used to do similar, but I don't see how this is acceptable.

Think Brendan and the team lay down today wee rat boy a chance of getting the job!
2.) 17 Mar 2025 00:02:30
Hopefully he gets the job the Neil Lennon affect he will get sacked mark my words.

Hi all hope you are well.
Does anyone know if the end of season awards are happening again in the hydro?
Went last year and it was class.

Morning awesome people
Hope you are well
Think we should upgrade the Maeda song. how about reworking Tequila by terror vision?
"Daizan Maeda. He makes me happy"

See the BBC at it again, using old photos of fireworks and flares in Dortmund and pretending they villa park.

See throwing bottles coins at our players and physio brushed under the carpet again.
2.) 08 Feb 2025 11:52:07
No wonder Celtic banned them from recent press conference. I would bar the biased bitter Beebs indef.

Radio Snyde also used the image. Old Ned Flanders tipped that lot for European glory to lift the cup! ???.

Hi all
Hope you are well, though I can see some fans are really unhappy. I think after this window I will be expecting big early things in summer.
For now, I think we have enough to push on for the treble. I think it was it was obvious in the summer when kyogo changed agent that he was going to be leaving. I think it's fair to assume, just from things Brendan has said, that there was an agreement for kyogo to go.
It also sounds like we did try to replace him but as Brendan said things didn't fall into place. I think Idah was always going to be kyogo's replacement, we were looking for someone to sit between him and Kenny in the striker pecking order. That didn't happen for whatever reason.
We got Jota and cover for left back and possibly other positions with schlupp's versatility. We shifted dead wood and still have enough to push on. Let's give some of the younger players a chance too, who knows maybe Cummings stays if he gets minutes.
We can give Bayern a good go, push on to a treble and recruit in the summer.

It looks like Kenny will get game time which is a good thing.
I’m not sure if Cummings will get picked if he doesn’t commit to our club.
2.) 05 Feb 2025 13:07:40
Proper order, once a player especially a young player wants to leave us without testing himself to see if he is good enough . He is not for us . Cummings agent will tell him what he wants to hear, his family are not good judges either.

Thanks ed.

Hi all hope you are well. Just checking as I'm a doctor Jim not an accountant. But would Jota not just be due the tax bill if he went back to Portugal this window? I don't get what he would be due tax here but not in France.
{Ed007's Note - Jota left Celtic in 2023, tax year April 2023/24 so he was registered for UK tax, if he came back he would be registered for tax in tax year 2024/25 and there needs to be a 2 year gap between tax periods or you are due to pay tax on your earnings.
This isn't news, Jordan Henderson went to Ajax because of it, when Jota was linked with West Ham it was brought up.

Hi all,
hope you are doing well
I'm sure if we lose the "rubbish" league this season Magicpole, the blame will be on PL too.
The PL stuff is as predictable as Robbie Keane signing every summer used to be. Yeah the board make mistakes but so do every club. Our success since the year 2000 has been unreal. The idah deal at Christmas is a good example of the board working well. The deal for him to go to Verona fella through as Verona wanted an option to buy and Norwich didn't. We were able to swoop in agree terms as Brendan wanted him, and negotiate now. The board didn't huff and walk away, we got the guy and it made the difference for the season.
There are some real myths that get peddled out too like John mcginn saga, but sometimes players don't choose us. Sometimes players are on holiday in early July. Sometimes we won't be shoehorned into signing players with unrealistic price tags. We should play hard ball with signing as much as we do selling.

Hi all hope you are well.
That super computer definitely needs an upgrade. We are away first game and so are sevco, surely with them in paisley we could have had Hibs that day to lift the league? Questions should be asked.
20 Mar 2025 12:53:19
Did you count the glorious petrofac cup? Lol.
03 Feb 2025 22:22:27
Hi all hope you are well.
I think we need to look a bit more closely at these assumptions of who is "our number one target" and if we offer X amount earlier the players will sign.
I never follow who we linked with as it almost always ends in disappointment as most of the time we were never actually linked. Best example this weekend was ihcheanacho. We were never in for him. Schlupp came outta left field (literally) today, why was he not mentioned all of last week. because deep down the media just speculate.
Yes we probably enquired about the Danish striker, but there is no way an early bid gets the player. His agent will have been talking to multiple teams, and dragging the process out until deadline day where he would have picked what option he really wanted. If a la liga team was in the mix I'd say we have little chance of landing him.
Kyogo replacement was Idah bought last summer. We our chasing a back up striker who will sit between him and Kenny in the pecking order.
If we add in blooding youth players to give them a chance in the league and cup, we have more than enough to challenge for the treble this season.
Id that happens if be expecting more concrete signings in the summer.

Keep safe everyone ??.

Hi all, hope you are well.
I definitely think we should give Kenny a chance, he is top scorer just now in conference league, and has helped Shamrock to 6th place.
Be great too if Cummings signed a deal and went out on loan.
