I see that Ralston's contract has been extended for a year. He is problabybon about 8000 a week, We could have signed O'Donnell on a 2 year deal for free and about 10.000 a week . I know who i would rather have signed.

Both aren't good enough.


2.) 21 Jun 2021 12:08:47
Well that's not good news. No harm to the lad, he has a great attitude but if we want to have a defence worthy of that name, then he just doesn't fit that. Tells me we aren't serious about recruiting what we actually need. Still nobody in is also a worry. Typical us, Take a feckin age to do anything.


3.) 21 Jun 2021 12:09:21
The Celtic we all want to see must aim for higher quality than this.


4.) 21 Jun 2021 12:12:25
@jonace where are you getting these wages from? Personally I doubt ralston is on 8k and o'donnell was a free and signed for motherwell do you think he's getting anywhere near 10k. I'm pretty sure someone at celtic negotiates wages for killie/ motherwell players etc based on previous then add some but not ridiculous amounts like your suggesting.


5.) 21 Jun 2021 12:26:42
There is no way that Ralston is on £8k a week, you will be lucky if he is on half that.
We probably took the extra years option as he is the only RB we have at the club, We did sign the young boy front Man Utd but he was sent straight out on loan.
If we let Ralston walk we would need to sign 2 RB's but this way we only need 1 1st choice pick with Ralston and the young boy as back.


6.) 21 Jun 2021 13:01:22
What s the point of back up if they aren't anywhere near good enough? And Ralston isn't. Injuries, suspensions and we are back to a defence that is an utter fecking joke. Again, zero ambition and lack of understanding of what a good player looks like. Doesn't fill me with confidence at all. In fact, the opposite.


7.) 21 Jun 2021 14:18:30
Who cares how much he's on?


8.) 21 Jun 2021 15:20:28
Can't see Ralston being on anything close to 8k a week.


9.) 21 Jun 2021 15:52:34
I wish celtic fans would stop mentioning odonnell. He is no where near the level we want to be.


10.) 21 Jun 2021 16:02:45
Magic no one said he was good enough but the new manager needs bodies in the squad right now. What's the harm in triggering the extension in his contract right now and if Ange decides he isn't going to make it we can get a bit of money for him even if it's £200k instead of him leaving on a free.


11.) 21 Jun 2021 18:31:28
Ralston shouldn't have been given a new contract. He's not even good enough to warm the bench. I'm quite disappointed with the waste of club resources.


12.) 21 Jun 2021 18:53:48
I doubt Turnbull signed for wages that high. O'Donnell is gash, Agreed not as bad as Ralston but don't want him anywhere near Celtic.

Who thinks we should consider Vaclav Hladky if we can't get Fraser Foster signed up very soon.

jonace

1.) 07 Jun 2020 09:58:31
Decent keeper but don't think he is good enough to be our number 1 and we already have bain as back up.


2.) 07 Jun 2020 13:28:13
He's a half decent keeper but only as a back up, I'm not really that keen on Bain but he signed a 4 year deal last year so he'll be staying put, we really need to push the boat out and get forster in on loan for another year at the very least, that's the best signing we can make this season.


 

 

27 Aug 2019 17:56:38
I see we are reported as being interested in the Salzberg LB Gideon Mensah was scouted by Barcelona. looks very fast on utube but not the greatest testament of a players ability. However this would really stuff it to kilmarnock having bought a replacement.

jonace

1.) 27 Aug 2019 18:08:04
I don't care about stuffing it to killie. I care about getting the right player for our team.
This boy I know nothing about except he's very inexperienced and looks like he'd be a back up at this moment.
He also would have to do some serious travelling when it comes to international Football, so with all that in mind I'd rather Taylor.


2.) 27 Aug 2019 18:53:20
Much prefer Taylor. He knows the league and has proven to be a solid LB and now a international. The last thing we need is another young guy to go into the development side. We need players that can go into the first team.


3.) 27 Aug 2019 18:56:55
If Meling isn't coming then we should be getting the Taylor deal done pronto and stop feckin about over a few quid. Does our club never learn? HH.


4.) 27 Aug 2019 19:05:18
That'll teach Killie to ask for decent money for their prized asset!


5.) 27 Aug 2019 19:24:59
Looks like Gideon Mensah is already on loan at Sturm Graz .


6.) 27 Aug 2019 19:30:30
Use a fringe player plus cash and just get the feckin player Lawell!


7.) 27 Aug 2019 19:37:40
@Drewzybhoy he was on loan at Sturm Graz for the second half of last season.


8.) 27 Aug 2019 19:58:33
Seems he's tried that OAB and they said no.


9.) 27 Aug 2019 20:33:03
I read on another site, it’s a loan deal . This window is getting worse, signing players no one has heard from, and now they are loan deals. What is going on at our club? It’s embarrassing .
We have been fed so much crap this window it’s unbelievable. Lies after lies
Players will be in before champions league qualifiers : never materialised
We have a plan if kt is sold : nothing materialised
We will wait and use the English market once it’s shut : only Fraser on loan
We will have two players in by today : nothing again.
And on and on we go, meanwhile the window is closing on us. We all know the people will get Ryan kent and it will be another boost to their morale, while we sell off or let our defence leave without replacing them properly . Look to push out one of our biggest goal threats . If we sign only loans, Peter makes his profit, I wish he would be asked to leave, get someone in who puts the team first before profits and hotel ideas . We are a football club, where fans travel far and wide to support . Myself included, I’m really not bothered what hotel I stay at.


10.) 27 Aug 2019 20:57:32
I agree with all of that Quinn bar PL to go. What we need is a football man making these decisions. The major shareholders also need to know that running a football club, that so many put their heart and soul (and hard earned money) into, is different from running any other business where the aim is just to make a profit.

Kev if the reports are correct that we've offered 1m when they only asked for 3m then I'd hardly say we have tried.


11.) 27 Aug 2019 21:04:24
It truly is a complete joke, Thursday will be difficult and we may sneak through but I'm not confident for Sunday. I honestly think this could be a disaster of a week, the moaning will start at 2pm on Sunday, and quite rightly so, the board are a disgrace.


12.) 27 Aug 2019 21:14:57
If pl would allow a football person to come in beside him and he stayed on the business side that would be good. I just don’t think he would hand over the reins that easy, also his bonus etc is linked to the football business making a profit . It would only be arguments all the time as the football side would be asking for better players, Peter would be wanting to keep costs down . Not sure how it would work.


13.) 27 Aug 2019 21:47:03
How should killie not ask for top dollar pot kettle on here sometimes.


14.) 27 Aug 2019 21:49:45
I've officially stopped even looking now at who we're looking at they're just names plucked out the air and nothing seems to be happening it's becoming very frustrating.


15.) 27 Aug 2019 22:00:48
total shambles again, this board can`t do transfers, laughing stock again, when will the fans wake up to this nonsense ever transfer window, Manager making a complete fool of himself again, PL has to go .


16.) 27 Aug 2019 22:43:52
Somebody reads something in the paper and gets all upset about it, because it's in the paper it must be true, it's amazing the power and influence of the media, the papers, TV, radio, now we have the internet aswell, just look at what Orson Welles did in the fifties with the Martian invasion, with the old fashioned radio, now rumours and speculation fly across Twitter and WhatsApp and chatrooms, and before you know it people are having stand up arguments about a pack of nonsense, calm down and carry on, wait untill the transfer window is closed then start arguing.


17.) 28 Aug 2019 00:27:01
I think they will wheel turnbull out on the last day and that will be our wack.


18.) 28 Aug 2019 06:35:21
Bang on Mally. For weeks this page was talking about how we won't let Tierney go on the cheap because he plays in Scotland. Which I agree with. Then the club identify his replacement and won't stump up an EIGHTH of the fee. It makes a laughing stock of the club.


19.) 28 Aug 2019 06:37:21
Aindoh, I don’t always agree with your posts but your spot on the money for me here. Panic and frenzy overload all based upon fake news and social media.


20.) 28 Aug 2019 07:17:18
I feel strongly that we need another few players in during this window but I think everyone needs to calm down until it 100% does not happen. There has been no promises giving by Lennon, he’s just openly told us what he wants and what we are looking for. Everything else is speculation until we get it done. To say that it’s no good signing get players that no one has knowing about on loan is irrelevant when you consider the fact that no one knew about players like wanyama etc. I would like to see a left back in for this game at the weekend but all be can do is hope. If we sign 6 players by Sunday there will still be people on here skating Lennon, the board and the players for not being good enough.


21.) 28 Aug 2019 09:29:15
I don’t see how it was fake news, the comments were said by the manager. After every euro game he came out and said he wanted players in but never got them. He said he or they had a contingency plan if kt left, it would seem playing calmac there was the plan. I know people can go overboard but I can’t see how people don’t realise we go through this scenario every transfer window. Why is it that we have to sit back and relax and see what happens at the end o of the window. My trust in the board to deliver has gone unfortunately .


22.) 28 Aug 2019 10:19:08
That’s Rosenberg out, get Meling.


 

 

21 Jun 2019 19:46:10
NL saying in his interveiw players definatley leaving. Hope it is not Tierney, Macgregor, Or Forrest.

jonace

1.) 21 Jun 2019 20:04:52
This is the worry - especially with The Leicester Louse keeping tabs on our players. It wouldn't surprise me if the Turnbull deal isn't a sweetener for some bad news on the horizon.
It's also more likely that we will only get decent bids for decent players and the surplus fringe players will be harder to shift?
All we can hope for is that the Board uses any considerable income to invest in real quality and not supplement/ settle for bargains.
We cannot afford to drop our standards, or lose the initiative.


2.) 21 Jun 2019 21:25:37
I fully believe that our "contacting" Turnbulls people last night was because of the below. I was discussing a couple of points with a pal of mine last night and today about the whole situation.

1. we were custard pied by other targets after telling him to jog on.
2. we needed that type of player because we have already accepted an offer from the RAT for Big Tam Rogic.

I then heard that some unknown Journo down south has now stated that a 17.5mil bid will be coming in from RAT City for Calmac. It all seems to be falling into place for Pedro.

Build a half decent team that can do damage with adequate additions (additions we all have been screaming out to get for 3 windows if not more. RB and CB's) and our team could be dismanteled to fill it with Kilmarnock and Motherwell players.

What if the Kieran bids are to good to refuse, also what if the Eddy bids are to good to refuse (not from the fans stand point, we are meaningless to the club) as i appears now. Its ok Pedro will sanction moves for Taylor and Brophy from Killie. Not to mention the still more than possible move for O'connel to fill lustigs boots.

I couldn't care less if they are signing people, they take in 10 players a season and still haven't won a cup. We are being taken for granted and have been for far to long. The fans deserve a better product on the pitch.

We are 3 or 4 very good signings in key areas away from being an excellent football team. This top guys have to be kept otherwise the back lash that will come if we fail to get 9 far less 10 will be on a massive scale.


3.) 21 Jun 2019 21:39:48
Love big tam to bits buts he's no where near fit enough to play in epl he's not even fit enough to play in spl half the time.


4.) 21 Jun 2019 22:05:51
God I hope Rodgers has had a bid for the myth that is rogic.


5.) 21 Jun 2019 22:45:24
Now could be the time to cash in on Rogic. has been a good player for us but we're just not getting value for him over the past 18 months.

I expect a goalie to leave and maybe 2 or 3 other midfielders.

I will end up on that Kerrydale Meltdowns Twitter account if Tierney, McGregor or Forrest go.


6.) 22 Jun 2019 02:08:04
Why do people always think the worst? He could of meant fringe players.


7.) 22 Jun 2019 02:55:17
I Would be amazed if Celtic were willing to let McGregor or Forrest go or if the players themselves would want to go. Ya maybe it's rogic they are after which l won't mind too much. Good player but injury prone and a drifts in and out of games at times.


8.) 22 Jun 2019 05:08:45
Would happily let rogic go for the right money but we must keep mcgregor and tierney. The club should issue a statement saying under no circumstances this season will tierney or mcgregor be going anywhere. Let yer Leicester, Arsenal, Napoli etc know they can’t just turn up here thinking the can take our best players on the cheap. I mean £15 million for tierney. are arsenal having a laugh? That only buys his right leg.


9.) 22 Jun 2019 12:27:02
What would people realistically expect for Rogic? £6m? As he isn't prolific enough in a poor league and his fitness is horrendous. Bit like McCourt, pleasing on the eye bags of ability but the fitness of a pub league player.


10.) 22 Jun 2019 16:48:21
if we can see rogic only gives us a bit of a season so can everyone else and that includes the rat so why would they be interested in paying good money for him, its most likely calmac as i seem to remember the rat saying that calmac had everything to be a top player and any team would want him.


 

 

10 Jan 2019 17:27:34
Reports coming out of America that we have signed Gutman and Manny Perez more young players coming in. I do not have a problem with youth as long as there are quality and stay a good few years.

jonace

1.) 10 Jan 2019 23:12:02
Manny perez following celtic twitter now, could be nothing or could mean he's signed. Any chance at all you think hell be a first team player this season Ed, if signed?

{Ed007's Note - He might get a run out against a Dundee or Accies or depending on who we get in the cup but I can't see him being a regular starter.}

There has to be serious questions as how good this team is or can become. There have been issues with the defence for a number of years now and some of that must be put down to coaching. I also have doubts about some players in the short and long term. There must be concerns about Hart Mooy and even Kyogo {given his age } To compete at this level also Jenz Hatate and O'Rielly need time to develop. Maeda MaCarty Ideguci and others on the periphory need to move on. Playing well in scotland is not the standard of Champions League.

jonace

{Ed007's Note - Jon mate, it's Real Madrid. Celtic will never be able to compete with them until there is some sort of shift in power and even in the ESL we would still struggle to catch up to clubs who have had BILLIONS for years.
There's a reason players are at Celtic on £25k a week and there's a reason that players are at Real Madrid earning £100k a week which is the average across the club - Eden Hazard himself is on circa €500k a week, 3/4 of their first team players are on more than Celtic pay in wages pa.}


1.) 02 Nov 2022 19:36:17
Thought we played well in possession, naive at the goals, first pen stonewaller 2nd a joke, missed chances again missed a pen, against the best club team in the world, anyone wanting to come on and slaughter them need to have word with themselves.


2.) 02 Nov 2022 19:46:17
AP has to learn the art of defending. Going to Madrid with this starting 11 was just stupid and achieved nothing!


3.) 02 Nov 2022 19:48:41
I'm focussing on shots on goal. That was nice and close 2 harsh penalties. As you say ours missed and we forget and we go again.


4.) 02 Nov 2022 20:05:36
Nights like this remind me of how lucky I was to see and appreciate The Lions. as the gulf between us and Europe's top is insurmountable. The only people that rate Celtic right now are the supporters as we have lost any previous credibility or reputation, simply because we have stood still for far too long and in all honesty, backward from the MON team of Seville and even WGS CL qualifiers of 2007. While UEFA have manipulated the game, so the rich get even richer. As now we are literally the poor relations and cannot compete financially or even technically with the elite.
We all used to relish European nights, but we have slipped alarmingly in the last ten years, suffering several hammerings along the way and you just have to compare the standard and quality of player during the above timescale to see why.
Fortunately, we seem to have a board that will back the manager and listen to his philosophy, and we hope to get better
Ange has us playing some great stuff, but class and composure in front of goal has all too rarely been seen in the CL.
When the draw was made and the games scheduled, we never expected to get anything in this game, but we hoped for a lot more in a couple of others and that's where the frustration will come from.
I don't think Ange knows how to play any other way, but I have said repeatedly about players learning and so should he. Because defeats need to be heeded not accepted or written-off or the anticipation and excitement of the CL will be replaced with dread
for the support and even the players.


5.) 02 Nov 2022 20:09:34
2 penalties and 2 down in 20 odd minutes made the game a canter. We have a team 1 and a bit years together. I can't wait to see how far we go under Ange as he's here fir the longterm. Fickle fans love a good rant
Jotas goal was crap as well??.


6.) 02 Nov 2022 20:13:51
Well said Mally, some need to share themselves and when up. We cannot compete with a team that cost hundreds and hundreds of millions to build but we had our chances to get closer.

Mooy is having a poor game on this pitch. He is slow in thought and deed.

27 Oct 2022 18:41:50
I wanot playing want to make two observasions
1} Moussa Dembele is out of contract at the end of the season

2} Kerian Tierney is not playing at all well> he is prone to defensive lapse See PSV s second disaallowed goal tonight and he is injury prone Taylor is playing much better.

jonace

{Ed007's Note - Demeble has turned down multiple offers of a new deal with Lyon, they put an ultimatum to him in the summer of sign an extension or be sold but Dembele dug his heels in. There will be plenty of options for Dembele next summer.}


1.) 27 Oct 2022 18:59:11
Ad have kt back in a heartbeat his form could be down to arteta not playing him enough.


2.) 28 Oct 2022 07:37:40
for me, KT has had his time with us and made his move elsewhere.
All the best wishes for him but not a return here thanks.


3.) 28 Oct 2022 09:36:15
Hes reportedly on £110000 pw. can't see him dropping wages to equal or slightly better our best paid player £35000/ 30000 (? ) .


4.) 28 Oct 2022 12:02:43
Surely he's not on that! lol I thought maybe £50k max.


5.) 28 Oct 2022 13:51:13
We should've been able to match that . but according to salary checks online sires it's a 5 year deal £110000 ish pw . £28m ish over the 5 year.


6.) 28 Oct 2022 14:01:04
So you’d drop Ange’s first name on the team sheet Taylor who has 70% of appearances that KT had and has been excellent and given his all for the club for an injury prone player that left to play in the Brexit league? I must be missing something.


7.) 28 Oct 2022 20:53:59
Was it the money or maybe other factors?


 

 

22 Jul 2022 17:21:56
I am pleased with the squad at this time and I do trust Ange.
However having said all that the second season is always harder for everyone, players and manager alike.
I would love to have seen Sousa come in as he looks a brute of a player, also the signing of Jota and Carter-Vickers shows great belief and intent. I would caution about CCV as he looks heavier, slower and a bit of the pace in the preseason openers (my opinion only) .
I like the thought of Mooy but have seen too many over thiries come to the club to retire and think Scottish football is easy. We all know who I mean. And i like how Jenz stays on his feet in the tackle and keeps close to his man giving them no time to play or turn
All in all not too bad without getting carried away, I have always belived a poor preseason often leads to a successful full season.

jonace

1.) 22 Jul 2022 19:59:53
Mooy knows ange stays in Scotland and looks good as he knows what's expected he will be good it's how much he wants it I think he will be good under anger good player.


 

 

06 Jul 2022 18:32:04
6-0 uo athalf time. Not great opponents. I thought Kenny looks shape, Johnston also if he can stay fit, Hatate was easily the best player on the park, Lawal looked at home and Julien wanted to impress. Worried about Forest as he keeps holding his hamstring.

I have been saying for ever it seems we need tall centre backs who can get there head on to the crosses we put into the box from free kicks and corners, whilst also clearing our lines from opposition crosses. However it seems everyone here is happy with Carter Vickers and Starfelt. If these players are going to get booked at least get booked for putting there oppenents into the stand.

I like Carter-Vickers but he is not top class. Neither he not Starfelt are good enough for Champions league. We need to find another Van Dyke or settle for cheaper. Soutar may not be any better or worse than Carter-Vickers but he is free and 6'4" compared to 5' 11" and we desperately need a left sided defender.
