The KY rumour has grown arms and legs, but I don't hear any more about Lennon Miller who was a red-hot certainty according to some.
Does anyone know of any other possible ins and outs next month?

I’d take Miller to replace Hatate who is talented for sure but inconsistent and gives the ball away too much.

I have no idea where these leaks come from, as most clubs play their cards close to their chest and don't comment on 'other teams players'. However, Sevco SLY are now covering the Kyogo rumour to Man City and it seems to me there is a sudden eruption of rumours to unsettle our team and disrupt our progress. Or is that just me?

{Ed007's Note - CCV linked with Galatasaray, Atalanta & Besiktas this afternoon too but the Club have apparently said he isn't for sale.}

This transfer window has shown that Celtic have more than a few really good players that other clubs want.

Celtic have done really well getting these players on long term contracts.


2.) 21 Aug 2024 18:31:07
There are more rumours about players leaving than players arriving.


3.) 21 Aug 2024 19:11:06
Just looked at videos of the polish lad who plays in MLS we are supposedly interested in.

Looks a very good player, probably around the top of the players we are looking at and at 7 million a worthwhile investment.


4.) 21 Aug 2024 19:27:07
Was thinking the same, Buzz. If Kyogo goes to Citeh, as I now expect he will, that positions us incredibly well for enticing ambitious players who aren't yet the full article or who come from relative obscurity. I (for one) think he's done more than enough to merit such a move; reminds me a little of Larsson going to Barca. We don't replace such players, contrary to the prevailing logic, so expect BR to use the opportunity to hone the profile of the front line after his fashion.


5.) 21 Aug 2024 21:45:15
I have no idea how credible the transfer rumours of players in and out of the club are, it’s all beginning to drive me nuts if I am honest. However if the Kyogo to City rumour has traction and they make a realistic offer I don’t think our Board will be difficult to deal with as I don’t think BR is entirely convinced by Kyogo… his lack of physicality and limitations in holding the ball up and linking the play need to be acknowledged along side his obvious strengths.


6.) 21 Aug 2024 22:45:12
OAB, it's a transfer rumour during the transfer window mate. We've been linked with about 100 players already, were SS trying to unsettle those teams and disrupt their progress?


7.) 22 Aug 2024 04:46:53
There is no way City will sign Kyogo.


8.) 22 Aug 2024 06:09:31
Why would we sign Adam and then sell kyogo makes no sense.


9.) 22 Aug 2024 08:20:33
He has probably been mentioned along with a few more players and our media have jumped on it as if they are buying him.

For City 20 million is nothing, they would splash that on a 29 year old but does he fit their style of football, I am not sure and would he go there knowing that he won't play a lot.

His wages would triple but he hates it when he is not playing for us, that would be his position with them, he won't replace Haaland or any of he forwards City already have.

I think he was probably mentioned after the friendly and the story has grown arms and legs.


10.) 22 Aug 2024 10:53:58
There was a guy on ssb ( I know ) apparently speaking on behalf of city . Says its been going on since last week . City want an older 29 / 31 year old proven striker for the bench . The normally pay 15 mill just like alvarez who has just left for this type of player .

One defeat in domestic football this season so far and because of the opponent it's Armageddon.
Yes, we are all disappointed - even angry, because of the manner we lost. Take a day to reflect on where we are and where they are and take stock.
We had a similar reaction after the Dortmund defeat, learned from it and made progress. The same attitude is required on Sunday and so on.
We will hopefully add quality in key areas this 'window' to consolidate and improve.
Our record against them over the past decade or so has maybe spoiled us into a wee bit of complacency, on and off the pitch so let this be a lesson well heeded by Celtic.

It's bad enough losing a game, it's agony losing to them any time, but when we don't even turn-up and let a very average side skelp you - it's totally unacceptable from the manager down. A lot of people need to do much, much better against St Mirren. Or watch the supporters reaction.

Appreciate we had enforced changes and we have been far from our best for a number of games; but we are slipping back into old habits.
Sideways and backwards may keep the ball, but it gives opponents time to re-shape and mark-up our forwards, who to be perfectly honest never looked like scoring for most of that game. Our wide players do not take on their man and cross or cut the ball back nearly enough and our passing needs to be crisper and quicker.
Not a total disaster, but a reminder of where we need to improve going into the festive period and if necessary the January 'Window'. Because there are a few of our team that seem to be crying out for a winter-break that isn't coming or are maybe even not good enough, when called upon?
I hope we sort ourselves out asap as we all know we can play better.

Don't think for a minute that the players deliberately abandon the managers instruction and gameplan as soon as they cross the line. However, far too many aimless hoofs up the park or misplaced passes, untypical of how we were playing for months.
The squad is defimitely stronger than before, but too many players are not performing at their best - not just yesterday but for a few weeks now. Unfortunately we do not have a winter break to rest and recharge, so we have to play through this lull and dig-in.
On a brighter note, their were parts of the game from HT onwards, where we managed to get some rhythm going, but I feel BR made a mistake in taking off Bernardo (unless he was injured) . Giving them the initiative and weakening our already underperforming midfield.
Scales and Ralston made a great impact and although Engels found it tough his pass to Khun for the third goal was a touch of class.
Full credit to the penalty takers for their 'bottle' and accuracy, but hey Bhoys, let's get back to basics, playing the Celtic way - as my poor heart canny take another game like that. H H.

Possibly a tactic. When you can't play through or around the press, you try and play over it.


2.) 16 Dec 2024 11:11:21
The game was an absolute sh*t show ?. The conditions were awful though and when you see so many poor passes and touches and players on there erse it must be due to the conditions. It certainly suited their style more. Nice to win with the last kick of the game but on the whole recently, we need to be far less passive with the ball.


3.) 16 Dec 2024 11:15:02
They'll play the exact same way in the New Year game that's why Idah should start to give us a target over the press!


 

 

13 Dec 2024 18:02:39
Whatever starting eleven we go with on Sunday, I feel it's imperative we start strongly with pace and drop the pedestrian, sideways shuffle that has crept back into our play, with the wide players cutting the ball back.
We have speed and skill on both flanks to cause problems and create.

1.) 13 Dec 2024 18:14:55
Totally agree, not forgetting a strong bench of substitutes to select from when needed.


2.) 14 Dec 2024 08:33:56
And our forwards taking any opportunities that come.


3.) 14 Dec 2024 09:47:45
I too totally agree with bhoy4s assessment. Seems recently that it's Cameron-Vickers who is orchestrating build-up, and that at a slow pace, giving oppositions time to regroup and flood the midfield.

Seems the Tierney move is very likely and whether we like it or not, I sincerely hope that there will be more activity in both directions as we are still a bit away from being the finished article.

He's the only proper decent centre back we have at the club and I appreciate that's not that difficult with what we have, but it's an area where we need to add rather than sell.

Can understand why changes are made with so many games and feel a bit for Ralston who has been exceptional. Probably also 'saving' Cal-Mac, Maeda, Taylor and Bernardo for Jan 2?
This week will definitely test the squad before the January 'window'.

JF seems to pick up lengthy injuries every season. The positive from it will be more game time for Yang and Palma and JF will be back in action for the kast third of the season where his experience and even goals have helped us before.

It's true, Celtic have struggled to replace him ranging from the much maligned Taylor to the loan of Valle, but I don't think bringing back a battered and broken KT is the answer.

BBC Sport are battling it out with SLY the title of Celtic haters R us and it's brilliant to see the assembled 'Currents' on their panels suffering year after year, while their tribute act club crumbles.

I wrote previously about how long it took Stan Petrov to settle in a new country with a new club and what a player he turned out to be.
I think Engels is improving all the time and will only get better.

The set-up and tactics suited Kyogo brilliantly and he coud have had four or five today. I would hope BR keeps today in mind, but realistically I know we will go back to his default formation when we have Khun and Maeda available. All in all it was a terrific performance and result during a very demanding schedule. H H.

They took an age with the Ross County pen as well, but no wonder we Celtic supporters are branded paranoid as it appears they scrutinized our penalty to the nth degree for 7 minutes trying not to give it.

I think Yang tries hard but sometimes panics at the end product, but he had a decent game as did many others in a new formation.
Thought we started excellently, passed the ball well on a tough pitch and controlled the game, scoring some great goals.
VAR in Scotland is still a joke operated by buffoons or worse.
Well played Hoops.
