Evening Ed, any craic with the links to Van Den Berg and Wjndal? Seem far too good to be true. VDB was one of the best young CBs in Germany last season and Wijndal has pedigree.
{Ed007's Note - Sepp van den Berg (CB) He won't get a chance as a starter at Liverpool and will most likely be sold in the summer to raise funds if a buyer can be found - could be a mistake by the club but the player has taken the position that he wants to move. There is no release clause for Mainz but they will have a first pick option if he were to be sold - and they have made their interest known and will look for an option to buy the player who has had a great season. They have already held talks with Liverpool. PSV, Brentford, Southampton and Wolfsburg offer options. He certainly burned bridges in an interview with De Telegraaf. Player now says he is being priced out of a move to PSV and is seriously miffed with the club. He says communication is non existent.
I'll try to find more out about Owen Wijndal, PSV have spoken to his agent but Ajax could be difficult to deal with.}

Owen Wijndal played for AZ Alkmaar when we played them in Ange's first season, as with all the players in the team he was a very tidy player.
The other two I really liked were Pavlidis who just went to Benfica for €20m euros and yhe Japanese right back Sugawara and he has just signed for someone in England I'm sure, can't remember who it is though.
2.) 07 Aug 2024 21:38:01
Cheers big man, appreciated ?. When I think of BR being backed, the club bringing in a bit of quality and pedigree and with players they could still make a wedge on, these are the sorts of names want to see.
3.) 08 Aug 2024 07:21:36
Good shouts royjac. The ones that got away. I temember myself thinking about Sugawara and maybe Ange might make a move. He's ended up at Southampton you're right.

Hoping one of the Eds would share their input on this one. I was just reading there about the new cmClub World Cup. 'Whatever, it's been coming', I thought. But then there was a bit about clubs who aren't competing in it, to receive payments from the 1BN deal. WTF is that about?
{Ed007's Note - It'll be some form of Solidarity payments jus like Scottish teams get when we are in the CL, hopefully with Peter Lawwell being involved with the ECA we will wangle a cut of the European pot.}
1.) 06 Mar 2025 03:35:05
Cheers Ed. I had no idea UEFA already did that. Fair play and hopefully the unseen fenian hand works it's magic.
{Ed007's Note - Cross those seen Fenian fingers lol ????

It's a bit of a sickener to go out right at the death like that but that was a fantastic performance and one the players and manager can be proud of ?. Toe to toe with a proper heavyweight over two legs. I wouldn't disrespect anybody by going over individual errors or decisions tonight. At this level it's fine margins and ultimately that extra quality (or lack of) that got Bayern through. Our players can definitely hold their heads high. I still think we could have done a wee bit more in the table to have got automatic qualification but ultimately you're going to have to come up against one of these sides in a knock out. I think we've done about as much as could realistically be expected. Next year we go one better.
1.) 18 Feb 2025 22:23:42
Extra time would've been a very tall order for that team. When they're bringing Champions League winners off the bench, you really see what you're up against. It was a sensational effort from the team.
2.) 18 Feb 2025 23:11:03
Celtic could’ve made 4 substitutes in extra time at 2 different times.
We only used 2 subs in 90 minutes and you get an extra sub for extra time.
Fresh legs would’ve taken us close.
3.) 18 Feb 2025 23:22:32
We still had McCowan, Ralston, Scales and Taylor who possibly would've come on over the 30 minutes but that's almost the entire defence being subbed which is risky in itself.
4.) 19 Feb 2025 00:10:52
Your right Kev,
Only Taylor and McCowan would’ve been realistic changes in Extra Time.
Bernardo was missed and Khun going off was a blow.
05 Jan 2025 17:29:56
Good to get a defeat out of our system and back to winning.
People suggesting Engels replacing CalMac. At domestic level Engels could play that McGregor quarter back sort of role for sure. But replacing a captain is a big step. I guess sometimes you have to take them. It wouldn't solve that area of the pitch in Europe though.
Khun. Unfortunately we probably need to have his replacement lined up as I can see offers in the summer for this lad that we won't turn down.
{Ed007's Note - I think it's more likely Kuhn will sign a new contract than leave in the summer.}
1.) 05 Jan 2025 18:05:56
Engels will fill the MOR role like he has been doing.
I assume we will look at options to bring in and replace McGregor. I Imagine Johnston will be captain when McGregor goes dependant on what CCV does
If Tierney comes back everyone will expect him to take over that role but he will need to earn it and prove he won’t be a hospital case.
2.) 05 Jan 2025 18:14:23
Has to be next level record fee numbers. Back to Germany or pub league?
3.) 05 Jan 2025 18:16:34
Many of us have been saying for a good while that a CDM is required, particularly for European games.
A midfielder we apparently looked at last summer is playing very well at the minute, a Pole named Bogusz who's playing the number 10 role for L. A. in the MLS.
He might be worth another look.
☘️ ? ☘️.
02 Nov 2024 19:59:27
Anyway, I hope we have something in place to make it permanent and I'm confident we can beat Motherwell in the final.
17 Sep 2024 15:52:01
Who would you play upfront tomorrow night? Bit of debate in a group chat with a few mates going on so just wanted to see opinions on here. In my heart of hearts I wanted a better striker than what we have for these nights but it wasn't to be. A few saying Kyogo's finishing has been poor and could cost us and that Idah deserves a shot (I get this argument) . But the football we're capable of playing with Kyogo's movement (Bratislava look slow at the back) could be the way to go.
I'm going Kyogo.
1.) 17 Sep 2024 17:30:20
I'd start kyogo.
2.) 17 Sep 2024 17:49:32
Kyogo but he needs to start taking a bigger percent if chances. he's probably missed 2 in every game this season.
3.) 17 Sep 2024 17:56:21
Defo Kyogo.
4.) 17 Sep 2024 18:08:57
idah. kyogos been rotten.
5.) 17 Sep 2024 18:38:30
I'd go with Idah.
6.) 17 Sep 2024 19:25:46
Poor game on Saturday but saying he’s rotten is bollocks. just scored in the Sevconian slaying and he scored goals in champions league last season against better opponents than Sloven.
{Ed007's Note - 2 goals in 12 CL games simply isn't good enough.}
7.) 17 Sep 2024 20:32:29
Seems about the same split on here too.
I fancy our chances either way tomorrow. I'm not going to show Bratislava too much respect, we need to go out there putting a stamp on this game. But against any side at CL level, whoever plays, they can't go missing one on one chances. They need to be at it.
8.) 17 Sep 2024 22:31:56
Buzz idah v kyogod stats?
9.) 18 Sep 2024 03:23:21
I was wondering Gerry, if somebody (wink wink Buzz) had conversion rates for the two.
10.) 18 Sep 2024 09:55:10
4 Celtic goals tonight. Kyogo will score two. Big game player.
15 Apr 2025 20:09:17
He hasn't scored a goal yet this season.
15 Apr 2025 17:19:16
Sorry aldo but GT at CM is not where we should be heading.
15 Apr 2025 17:18:47
Just signed a new deal announced today I seen earlier mate.
15 Apr 2025 17:17:08
Looks a decent player from what I've seen. Looks to be more of a squad player for us but to be fair on that right hand side Forrest needs to be replaced and Kuhn needs somebody breathing down his neck if he's still here.
05 Mar 2025 04:45:11
If Inter Milan are after an International and CL level player, who is 26 with years on his contract, you ask for more than 10m. That's not an opinion, it's a fact.
09 Apr 2025 02:14:12
What do you mean by 'all out' Bhoy88? Like, highest paid player? If GT thinks he can do better than an offer from Celtic then good luck to him.
08 Apr 2025 09:36:06
Taking a pay cut certainly wouldn't co. pensate the stick he'd get DT that's for sure. He's a player I've wanted to see upgraded pretty much since he came in the door. That's not to say he has never been good for us. But he wasn't better than KT and was never going to be. If some of them are wetting their pants at the thought of it then let them. Looking more in house, it's poor when we have to revert back to players that we never managed to upgrade.
07 Apr 2025 11:53:22
Pretty sure you've had an answer on this nonsense before as well.
22 Mar 2025 17:56:54
He's not good enough though Des. His finishing was no where near what that level requires. Hence why he was rubbish in Europe. Hence why he's literally not getting a game for a mid-table French side.
22 Mar 2025 09:40:36
No. Agree with Zosh. I was actually hoping we upgraded him last summer but it didn't happen so this summer it is.
