Kasper, AJ, CCV, Trusty, Taylor, Callum, McCowan, Engels, maeda, Kuhn, idah.
03 Feb 2025 21:06:59
Seeing rumours that Cummings is leaving Celtic this window. Anyone confirm?
14 Jan 2025 05:25:50
Apparently Holm deal has been completed. As a result u would expect a replacement in soon.
15 Oct 2024 08:01:24
Reports saying Tisdale will be head of scouting.
1.) 15 Oct 2024 10:43:51
Meant to say head of recruitment. ?.
09 Oct 2024 22:16:03
Ed you got any news on Paul Tisdale appointment?
{Ed007's Note - Surely that's not serious? What next, a monorail around Celtic Park?
1.) 10 Oct 2024 06:10:43
Reports saying he is coming in to replace mark lawwell.

One thing I have been wishing we did more often, is to put crosses into the box from deep. Ralston done it today and Yang scored from it. I also liked the fact we played some dinked balls over the top today.
When you have that variation in your play it is extremely difficult to defend, as the defenders don't know where it is going to come from next.
08 Feb 2025 19:24:21
Thought yang played well today. Hopefully that gives him confidence to kick on.
1.) 08 Feb 2025 20:29:21
Yang had a good confident spell last season and then he got that awful Red Card at Tynecastle, which resulted in him losing momentum.
2.) 08 Feb 2025 21:05:19
I agree Buzz shocking decision for the sending off. More so from then we have seen almost identical situations going unpunished or at most a yellow card and the SFA coming out with dribble to try to justify it.
3.) 08 Feb 2025 23:10:59
Yang looks far far better on the left hand side.
08 Feb 2025 12:10:16
With our recruitment team seemingly struggling to secure a striker, I thought we could lend them a hand with some suggestions.
I see Cristiano Ronaldo is out of contract in the summer-any chance we could tempt him to the East End of Glasgow? No? Fair enough.
Jonathan David is also set to be a free agent, but he'll likely have plenty of suitors from Europe's top leagues. Joking aside, let's focus on realistic, up-and-coming options that could actually be affordable for Celtic.
Potential Celtic Targets
Mathias Kvistgaarden
Club: Brøndby IF
Age: 22
Position: Striker
Strengths: Quick, aggressive, intelligent movement, and a relentless work rate. A strong pressing forward, ideal for Celtic's system.
Transfer Fee Estimate: Brøndby has set a high price, previously rejecting Celtic's bids. Likely to cost around €10M.
Facundo Colidio
Club: River Plate
Age: 25
Position: Striker
Strengths: Physically strong, quick, and well-suited to the Scottish Premiership. Has matured into a reliable forward.
Transfer Fee Estimate: Likely available for €5M or less due to his contract expiring in December 2025.
Matheus Nascimento
Club: Botafogo
Age: 20
Position: Forward (best as a No. 10)
Strengths: Highly skillful, versatile, and still developing. Great sell-on potential.
Transfer Fee Estimate: Could be secured for under €5M.
Jerónimo Dómina
Club: Unión de Santa Fe
Age: 18
Position: Attacking Midfielder / Second Striker
Strengths: Technically gifted, creative, and has excellent vision. Still raw but with high potential.
Transfer Fee Estimate: Likely available for under €3M.
Other Affordable Up-and-Coming Strikers in Europe
Mohamed Amoura
Club: Union Saint-Gilloise (Belgium)
Age: 23
Position: Striker
Strengths: Clinical finishing, rapid acceleration, and intelligent positioning. Has been outstanding in Belgium.
Transfer Fee Estimate: Around €15M.
Roko Šimić
Club: RB Salzburg
Age: 20
Position: Striker
Strengths: A physical and mobile forward with a strong goal-scoring instinct. Would fit well in Celtic's system.
Transfer Fee Estimate: Likely around €5-6M.
Benjamin Šeško (Ambitious Option)
Club: RB Leipzig
Age: 20
Position: Striker
Strengths: Tall, powerful, great in the air, and composed in front of goal. Already a proven talent in the Bundesliga.
Transfer Fee Estimate: Probably out of Celtic's budget, but worth monitoring if Leipzig considers a loan deal.
Conclusion
Celtic desperately needs a proper No. 9, and the options above represent attainable, high-potential strikers who could make an impact. Given our board's reluctance to spend big, someone like Colidio, Amoura, or Šimić could be the best fit. Hopefully, the recruitment team is paying attention!
1.) 08 Feb 2025 12:43:54
Sesko ambitious is an under statement he'd cost £50 million plus. Also there is absolutely no chance Leipzig would consider loaning out their main striker.
In the summer I think we will probably go in for Kvistgaarden again.
2.) 08 Feb 2025 13:10:07
Signing a striker is one position that BR and Board I think will be even more careful when signing than most other positions. Difficultly may be eased if Idah improves on his recent form and continues to score regularly.
Just for reason above I would be loath to sign South American striker . I don’t think we have been well served often by South Americans. I think BR scrutinises most incoming players very careful, as he has put himself clearly in the responsibility seat.
3.) 08 Feb 2025 13:13:16
Sesko ?.
4.) 08 Feb 2025 13:33:50
To be fair I knew Benjamin Šeško was a pipe dream but would would be some signing, as would Jonathan David but never going to happen.
5.) 08 Feb 2025 13:43:23
Big adam is going to next level stuff and super jonny Kenny will follow. Play the system that suits and let's see what they can become.
6.) 08 Feb 2025 14:07:48
I am not disagreeing Philphlop but we also need a third striker for squad depth.
7.) 08 Feb 2025 14:27:55
Celtic should be employing you Weejoe ?.
8.) 08 Feb 2025 14:42:06
@Buzz - Should get AJ to put in a good word for us with Jonathan David.
9.) 08 Feb 2025 16:57:49
Isn’t one of our problems a lack of height?
10.) 08 Feb 2025 19:27:08
Daizen Maeda? He's far better as a ST than a winger. If he is to be classed as a winger he needs to improve on his touch, dribble and crossing ability. No doubt he can finish though!
08 Feb 2025 10:06:42
Just reading that Serge Gnabry, Hiroki Ito, and Alphonso Davies are returning for Bayern Munich. ?.
1.) 08 Feb 2025 11:09:37
Just them 3 . not a problem.
2.) 08 Feb 2025 11:28:57
Oh dear that's awe we need.
3.) 08 Feb 2025 13:18:25
That means 3 other good fully match fit players will have to drop out .
Kompany may think he can use first leg against us to give these3 match time .
BM are so power and full of good to excellent players that really a team like us shouldn’t have to play them . But football is all about what happens on the night and we shouldn’t be surprised if BR and his team come out on top.
Another great European night coming up on Wed, Celtic Park filled to the rafters and we will have the loudest cheers in Champions League on the the 12 th.
4.) 08 Feb 2025 13:47:31
Least they'll have a fighters chance now. Wouldn't have felt right turning their b side over.
5.) 08 Feb 2025 14:16:01
It's the physicality at that level where we struggle.
07 Feb 2025 11:01:13
Weejoe has written an article entitled, Callum McGregor: Underappreciated at Celtic?
1.) 07 Feb 2025 12:11:34
A brilliant article as usual ?.
2.) 07 Feb 2025 14:24:43
McGregor has been a very good player for Celtic and i am very glad we have him. I think his biggest criticism is his performances are in Europe, a take a vlose look at him in these games and he does not dominate them and when we lose he says we eill learn from these mistakes ??♂️. scottish football top class europe not in my opinion only.
3.) 07 Feb 2025 20:26:58
I think we have usually been blessed with good captains and Cal is certainly one of them . He seems to be exactly B R’s mind and voice on the field, having the players carrying out the manager’s instructions in total . On the pitch he is certainly Mr Consistency, consistency the only time he seems to be in trouble is when two or three opponents are running and passing through our midfield and for once Cal and colleagues are out numbered and that is when our midfield and defence are under too much pressure. Thankfully it seldom happens.
08 Feb 2025 17:24:55
Kenny looks promising but needs to learn the tactical side of the role and how to press effectively.
I am sure he will make an appearance at some point tonight.
03 Feb 2025 09:27:14
We need yang for cover. At the moment we have:
Kuhn
Maeda
Jota
Yang
Forrest
In his defence, I think he has improved and works hard for the team. I just think he needs a goal and fans to get behind him to give his confidence a boost.
02 Feb 2025 08:01:03
We either need a new striker to replace kyogo or move maeda to striker and get another winger.
However, I don't want us to overpay for one because of desperation and would prefer a loan if that was the case. Preferably with an option to buy.
01 Feb 2025 19:23:39
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.

Celtic have rarely done well with left backs. Tierney being the only top class one I can recall since I began watching Celtic in the early 80s.
{Ed007's Note - Tom Boyd?}
08 Feb 2025 22:44:13
Get your son's flight and ticket booked for Munich and pray that he repeats that feat over in Munich.

08 Feb 2025 10:01:47
We also have AJ and had Elhamed, Wilson and Matthews at right back, who were all decent.
