€5m for Oh with add ons! Well done Whoever got that deal through ?.
1.) 12 Jul 2024 21:35:45
Get that and bid for miovski. As well as Idah.
2.) 12 Jul 2024 21:51:40
KenLikeEh,
where have you seen this?
☘️ ? ☘️.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 10:39:49
I really like Oh and will be sad to see him go, I will wish him all the best and think he will go on and have good career.
26 Jun 2024 14:13:10
Haksabanovic offski for €3m officially.
Well done to the CEO etc for getting anything for him at all!
1.) 26 Jun 2024 16:02:51
Hopefully this will be the start of getting the players that are not part of Brendan Rodgers plans, it was mentioned on these pages a while ago that there were about 18 players who Celtic could move on, but it is not always a easy thing to do if the player is getting a good wage, without contributing anything as a player to the 1st team squad.
2.) 26 Jun 2024 18:46:50
First of many out the door that’s needed, still a long way to go though there’s about another 10 on the books that could be classed as deadwood.
3.) 27 Jun 2024 16:17:27
I agree the clear-out was very important to reduce the squad, get rid of players who are not in the managers plans and raising extra funds. The real test for the Board will be to bring in better quality than we have and improve the team for Europe and domestic dominance.
14 Jun 2024 19:09:18
Lad Mccowan meant to be coming in from Dundee. Have to say he impressed a lot last season!
Sort of signing we should be making. Certainly a player that improves the squad depth when we have so many games.
1.) 14 Jun 2024 21:48:05
Different era but I remember Barry Robson and PAul Hartley doing great job not so long ago and both late 20s.
2.) 15 Jun 2024 14:09:50
Squad player at best. Would rather we went for watson baron or miller.
3.) 15 Jun 2024 14:23:35
Family are big Celtic fans. I went to Seville with his dad Paul. his 2 uncles n his Granda. If he has any choices, he'll pick Celtic all day long.
4.) 15 Jun 2024 17:45:38
DC, a squad player that was arguably the best outside of Celtic last season. If he improves the squad that’s all that matters.
5.) 15 Jun 2024 18:48:26
Agree to disagree kev. The 3 I mentioned were better imo.
6.) 16 Jun 2024 06:57:16
I would rather we got an effin move on. No players yet. I wonder if Lawell is involved, holding up a transfer over the price of a pint. It’s falling into the same pattern as always under his guidance. Nothing happening and wait for the son story of how no one wanted to come for a bag of shrapnel. I wonder what kind of bonus he gets if we don’t spend at all? Wouldn’t put anything past him. Dithering and dragging it out helps no one., .
7.) 16 Jun 2024 07:33:34
Magic, give it time, the window has just opened. Even Keevins is claiming we have a few agreed already but he hasn't been able to find out who.
Let's stop the PL nonsense already, Ed has explained many times his job title, it has nothing to do with the football side, that is Nicholson.
8.) 16 Jun 2024 09:00:36
Barron has been kicking about for about 5 years and he's never progressed.
9.) 16 Jun 2024 10:17:44
Malley Barron is only 21,remember him in the semi final? best player on the park, we'd be far better getting him than Mcgowan.
10.) 16 Jun 2024 11:01:43
Well he's been about the Aberdeen first team for a few years and never made the jump. you'd have thought the English would have been all over him if he was thecreal deal. good luck to the boy.
11.) 16 Jun 2024 11:13:46
He broke into their team 2 and a half year ago and only really became a 1st team regular this season. The potential is huge.
12.) 16 Jun 2024 11:49:51
Malley a couple of English clubs are in for him along with Italian clubs, probably his 15k wages putting us off.
13.) 16 Jun 2024 12:39:57
Do you not think there’s a reason we aren’t in for Barron? He’s not good enough simple.
14.) 16 Jun 2024 13:16:02
Far better player than McCowan ken.
15.) 16 Jun 2024 14:10:45
We should be aiming higher but I would prefer mccowan from whatI've seen this season from all the midfielders just my opinion.
16.) 16 Jun 2024 14:23:20
He might be like John McGinn, just not good enough for us.
17.) 17 Jun 2024 08:20:52
Maedin, Lawell haunts me. I hear what you’re saying though. I will believe it when I see it. I’ve been waiting since Seville for us to take Europe seriously. Confidence in Rogers signing record, especially at us, which was pretty awful too, isn’t high. His one signing Philips, was by far the worst of a bad bunch. I will get back on the glue for a few weeks to calm me.
21 May 2024 11:37:49
Note we are linked with Casteels the Belgium keeper. What a signing that would be, we should be all over him!
1.) 22 May 2024 11:24:51
Coming to Scotland? I doubt that very much. Every goalie who has anything about them will be quoted as a target. Buckle up lads, the insanity is about to begin.
2.) 22 May 2024 18:32:51
If we offered him 40k a year n a decent signing bonus why not?!
3.) 23 May 2024 07:46:36
Listen I hope he does, but, on the balance of how good he obviously is, the offers he will have, the money he will be offered (40k is chickenfeed) the league we are in and how it is perceived, makes me think he may go elsewhere. Our ace is the CL, but, there are another 35 teams in there, in better leagues who may want him. I can’t see it, but, who knows.
4.) 23 May 2024 12:15:46
£40k pw might be chicken feed in today's market but not if you're picking up a juicy signing-on bonus like Ken suggested. £2M up front and £40k pw over a 3 year deal takes you to around £52k pw. If the rumours about £7-8M for Cakir are accurate then you're saving yourself a good few million while still getting a very reputable player. If the Saudis or somebody else comes in with £80k pw then so be it, at least we put our best foot forward.
5.) 23 May 2024 19:32:36
That’s the main thing Kev! Asking the question we are far too late in making offers it seems.
{Ed007's Note - I said last week about Ndidi, offer him £40k a week and a £6 million signing on fee paid over a 4-year period takes him up to about £70k a week, we'd immediately improve the midfield quality wise and tactically with a proper CDM.}
6.) 26 May 2024 08:50:50
Well nobody thought we’d have ever been able to lure someone of the stature of Joe Hart and look what happened there -a top bloke and keeper he’ll be missed.
Celtic are still a big name in Europe and that is a lure for any player.
18 May 2024 10:24:24
Rumours of Jake Clarke-Slater gathering pace. Looks like we are in for him!
ED this one seems to be a solid link. Do you know much about him and are we interested?
One for buzz. Have we ever had a double-barrel named centre back pairing? lol.
{Ed007's Note - Clarke-Slater was considered a bit of a wonderkid but injuries held him back although he seems to have got over that. Celtic are one of the teams that have scouted him and he seems to be a bit of hot property with teams going up to the Pub League and teams at the bottom who have managed to stay up so it's obvious that he's seen as a player ready to step up a level.}
1.) 18 May 2024 20:28:10
I don’t think we have Ken.

13 Nov 2024 12:22:11
Kvistgarden is having some season! Do you think we should've splashed the cash on him instead of Idah?
I still think Idah has a big place in the Celtic team but imagine we are looking to bolster our attack as Kyogo will be offski next summer.
I like Kyogo but how many chances does he miss? He would have 20+ this season if he finished half the chances he's had. And no a screamer against the Sevconian doesn't cover his misses.
{Ed007's Note - 36 goals over 106 games in the Danish league, no thanks. I didn't want Celtic to Mathias Kvistgaarden in the summer and I don't want Celtic to sign him in January either. I do agree with you that I expect Kyogo to leave next summer though ??
1.) 13 Nov 2024 13:18:34
Maybe Celtic could try and sign Miovski.
2.) 13 Nov 2024 14:55:58
What screamer against rangers? It was a howler from their goalie.
3.) 13 Nov 2024 16:00:44
I can't see Idah "coming good" as he's nowhere near Celtic class. Definitely overpaid for him, there was a reason he was in the Norwich reserve team! Kyogo is missing a few chances right enough, (low confidence? ) however, he gets loads of chances because of his movement and often creates goals out of nothing. I hope he stays for at least another 2 seasons.
For cover, we need abetter option than Idah though.
{Ed007's Note - Overall Idah has scored a goal every 111 mins that he has played this season - including 29 mins for Norwich - Kyogo has scored a goal every 170 mins he has played, I expect that trend to continue throughout the season of Idah being our more prolific striker.
For a main striker we need better than Kyogo, Idah and Kvistgarden, Kyogo has proven that he isn't near good enough to play at a higher European level and isn't clinical enough at the domestic level - and if you're putting him missing sitters down to low confidence then he's been struggling for confidence since he came in because after only a few games Stevie Wonder could see he wasn't a natural striker with that instinct good/great strikers have.
The likes of Dembele, Leigh Griffiths and Gary Hooper would have been into double figures already if they had the game time Kyogo has had this season and they would have outscored him playing in Ange's team as well.}
4.) 13 Nov 2024 16:06:12
Butland was at fault this season but Kyogo has previously scored a couple of screamers with both feet against Sevco.
He does however miss sitters when he has plenty of time to think.
Kyogo is better with his instinctive chances.
5.) 13 Nov 2024 16:08:06
Idah (IMO) played a big part in us winning the league last season.
☘️ ? ☘️.
6.) 13 Nov 2024 17:27:38
Idah definitely made an impact during his loan spell and contributed
much to our Double winning run-in. I feel he has struggled this season after a stop-start pre-season due to the transfer business and limited game time thereafter. His confidence will have suffered because of this, not to mention the transfer hanging over him - as could be the case with Engels. However, both are still learning and we are still to see the best of them in a Celtic jersey.
On the other hand Kyogo has definitely lost momentum and potency, maybe because defenders are wise to him or loss of confidence?
Maeda has been touted as another striker and his hat-trick in the semi-final was a rare glimpse of this; but I feel his strengths are in other areas and if we are not considering Cummings or Kenny, then we may need another top notch striker next season.
7.) 13 Nov 2024 18:06:33
Agree with your points OAB4, good post ?
☘️ ? ☘️.
8.) 13 Nov 2024 18:07:30
I’d be careful about writing Idah off this early gents … needs a run of games that’s all IMO.
9.) 13 Nov 2024 20:38:23
Not writing Idah off as I think he’s a better striker than Kyogo and usually comes on to see games out with his defensive capabilities.
08 Nov 2024 09:03:08
I know Taylor gets a lot of hassle from our fan base week in week out but I've always been a big fan of his and think he's a cracking player.
I think a lot of fans will realise how important he is if and when he goes.
1.) 08 Nov 2024 09:55:15
He played well midweek. He scores a few goals and has had quite a few assists.
He deserves a new contract, whether that is as either no 1 left back or back up.
In fairness to him, we would need to buy a top class left back to replace him but that appears to be what BR wants, next level players in each position.
His only negative is his height at the back post which has been a thorn in our sides in the past.
However has he really let us down, I don't think he has but is he the best we could have, I don't see BR thinking that he is.
I advocated previously that Scales could do that role as he has the height and is left footed but he isn't as quick as Taylor and turns at the speed of a tanker.
Give him a new contract and either get Valle signed or look ahead to an upgrade in January or in the summer.
2.) 08 Nov 2024 10:48:00
I don’t think Taylor gets much hassle from our supporters anymore.
He’s been very good for over 3 seasons now.
3.) 08 Nov 2024 12:51:21
Don’t rule out a Kieran Tierney return sooner rather than later .
4.) 08 Nov 2024 14:49:06
Not a huge Taylor fan but he wears his heart on his sleeve and gives 100% and you want players like that in a squad.
5.) 08 Nov 2024 15:25:06
The boys from my neck of the woods and him and his family grew up supporting them but the boy has our club stamped in his heart now, yes he did get stick but he probably admit himself he needed to step up to mark so deserved criticism as any1 who doesn’t perform but am with Buzz as past 3 yrs he’s mostly played well and deserves a contract.
06 Nov 2024 13:34:21
Does anyone know how many points in the coefficient Scotland will need to trump the other nations? Note we are 16th in the ranking atm. 3.6 points total this season.
Unsure how it works exactly.
06 Nov 2024 10:05:45
Another 2 players that were written off by our fan base shine last night!
Trusty and Kuhn absolutely top class.
What a result lads. Can't beat it!
01 Nov 2024 12:21:31
Does anyone else get really annoyed at some of our fans. They write off our new players almost instantly.
Apparently, Engels is a dud and we should never signed him. You can tell the boy is already a level above the players in our squad. When he gets going he is going to be absolutely immense.
The same thing happened with, Ajer, Edouard, Giakoumakis, Starfelt, Johnston, Hart, Bernardo, ORiley. The list goes on. The impatience is actually astounding and seriously boring.
{Ed007's Note - I am 100% convinced that there is a section of the Celtic support that it is impossible to please, they thrive on any negativity they can find.
When the team last Sunday was announced with no CalMac I seen a post on social media "Are we seeing Rodgers beginning to phase McGregor out the team?"}
1.) 01 Nov 2024 12:48:28
Afternoon All
I agree with you KenLikeEh.
Trusty has also been the most recent whipping boy for some fans.
You could argue he has been motm in most recent games.
As I've posted on numerous occasions player's are not robots, just like us they can off days.
It takes different players different times to settle into a new club, new country etc.
Engles = Arrogant Elegance
?.
2.) 01 Nov 2024 15:09:56
Totally agree with both of you. It’s absolutely insane. They sort of people thrive on negativity and you wonder if they actually understand football as a game at its base level.
3.) 01 Nov 2024 17:20:54
I agree ken but this "The same thing happened with, Ajer, Edouard, Giakoumakis, Starfelt, Johnston, Hart, Bernardo, ORiley. The list goes on. The impatience is actually astounding and seriously boring. "
Bar starfelt and possibly bernardo the rest on that list weren't written off. Oriley was mom on his debut.
4.) 01 Nov 2024 17:28:12
I reckon Engels is a good player and he will continue to get better.
5.) 01 Nov 2024 17:29:18
Bang on with all the above posts. its embarrassing mccowan wasn't good enough mcginn wasn't good enough Taylor scales we'd be here all day clearly know nothing about football wonder if its cool to follow celtic is that it.
6.) 01 Nov 2024 18:22:35
Not sure if I replied on here to a similar post . It's took a full season to see the better side of khun, it took a while for o'riley to become what he became . If engles was the finished article then he would have been snapped up for a 3rd of the money we received for o'riley . He will need a season and pre season to get up to full speed . Let brendan work his magic.
7.) 01 Nov 2024 18:39:22
Are people misremembering oriley or did they just not watch him?
8.) 01 Nov 2024 19:52:32
Engels will be a superstar and just needs a bit of time to adjust. he's only 21.
9.) 01 Nov 2024 21:46:18
Totally agree. Some are spoilt with success of Celtic in Recent years. Today's spoilt fans would of had a meltdown during Rangers success in the 90's.
30 Aug 2024 14:42:08
Both monsters on football manager.
09 Aug 2024 18:25:16
Can play evewrywhere too.
12 Jul 2024 18:01:07
Do you not think he would have came on leaps n bounds if there was an actual system in place to produce players Mally. Think how good he would’ve been if that was the case!
12 Jul 2024 13:35:42
It is absolutely mental how our fan base think Celtic is the be all and end all of football. This boy probably sees the crap pathway Celtic have gave him and realises his potential is best served elsewhere.
No wonder they are leaving, don’t blame the player blame the board and the structures they have failed to put in place.
03 Jul 2024 17:31:52
To be honest Pedro. Cal Mac failed to impress a lot last season, he was abysmal apart from 3/ 4 games.
We should be actively looking for our next captain right now.
13 Nov 2024 20:38:23
Not writing Idah off as I think he’s a better striker than Kyogo and usually comes on to see games out with his defensive capabilities.
12 Nov 2024 17:36:47
The international breaks seem to be removing a lot of momentum teams have! You’re seeing the big hitters being beaten more often in the larger leagues and I think it’s down to the national breaks. You could argue the same for clubs at the lower ends of the tables as well
It completely destroys club football in my opinion. We will see in the second half of the season the insane number of injuries that will come in. For instance England have had 8 players pull out there game against Greece. Says it all really. The players even hate it!
08 Nov 2024 09:01:44
In reality tho with Taylor’s contract running down and the potential recalling of Valle we really are in a bad position. The club will need to react well in this case.
01 Nov 2024 15:09:56
Totally agree with both of you. It’s absolutely insane. They sort of people thrive on negativity and you wonder if they actually understand football as a game at its base level.
12 Sep 2024 10:28:33
How are we to know with the 35 mins we got of him in a Celtic shirt.
