I really hope we sign the kid Lennon Millar in the summer

A few weeks I seen loads of people saying sign him and loan him out and I was thinking why would we do that!

Did they guy's not watch him make a mug of our midfield? I say buy him and get him in the squad, him and Kelly give them games and watch them improve.

That boy Millar is a fantastic footballer and in my opinion we have to sign him no matter what.

Agree he's a decent prospect. Can hold his own in our league. Better than Bernardo.


2.) 20 Mar 2024 07:59:01
This is a bit like when we had interest in McGinn, people on here saying he wasn't good enough for us, or we had Brown, so he would just be sitting on the bench, while a past it Brown was allowed to hold the team back, as he was hero worshipped by the same people who had previously, and seemingly, still do, worshipped Ronnie.


3.) 20 Mar 2024 12:40:39
Ronnie did plenty for celtic a lot more than rodgers ever has in terms of the academy and under severe financial restrictions rodgers got edouard our record signing where as Ronnie got boerrigter no contest Ronnie much better at running a club on a budget rodgers football also terrible if not worse than Ronnie’s.


4.) 20 Mar 2024 13:57:51
Ronnies was brutal as well.


5.) 24 Mar 2024 17:20:05
I think we should bring Ronnie in to be the Head of the academy.

Just read there that Kurzawa of PSG has been offered to the hoops on loan, same report also states that we were knocked back for Hugo Beuno of Wolves.

royjac73

1.) 01 Feb 2024 00:10:37
He's played o ce this season. Offered means they want rid.


2.) 01 Feb 2024 06:47:59
Kurzawa has only played 9 minutes for PSG since August 2021.

His current back injury is his 10th injury, in the last 2 years and 2 months.

Not worth the risk.


3.) 01 Feb 2024 11:22:48
With all the issues with his fitness means we are definitely going to sign him.


4.) 01 Feb 2024 17:00:18
Think that’s deals dead PSG want his €100k wages paid in full. Hopefully all the outgoings are freeing up wages for someone good to be brought in…. It’s the hope that kills you as they say.
Last window we were busy last day hopefully that’s a sign of things to come tonight SSN on till 1130pm for me lol.


5.) 01 Feb 2024 17:30:50
Yea he probably isn't, however the other lad from Wolves is a different story although few reports saying they don't want to let him leave.


 

 

27 Aug 2021 18:17:45
Seen some stuff on twitter that the Greek bhoy is jetting in to sign tomorrow or Sunday.

Royjac73 it’s only sevco players that jet in everyone else is flying in.

Laxalt deal done, here's hoping he can adapt to life in Scotland.

Welcome to Paradise.

Baptism of fire for Laxalt in his first few games.


2.) 05 Oct 2020 21:57:06
Seen it came through at 2120, still no mention on sly sports news at 2156. Finger on the pulse. not.


3.) 05 Oct 2020 22:33:06
He's definitely signed on sky with the shirt on. welcome to the madness.


4.) 06 Oct 2020 07:18:23
His number is 93 I assume that's his year of birth.


5.) 06 Oct 2020 12:08:00
He could turn out be Celtic’s greatest ever number 93.

So that is about a week now since Baby Lawell chucked his job in. Does anyone know if he is actually gone yet?

Has anyone heard anything from anyone, anything or anywhere as regards to a replacement or possible replacement?

I would think it imperative to have a Chief Scout in ASAP if we are about to embark on a bit of a spending spree in the summer?

No jobs for the boys this time eh, it absolutely has to be the best candidate possible for the money we can afford to pay someone.

With a few murmurings recently about a clear out by DD has anyone any info to share about that or is it the usual and complete silence?

I absolutely love Celtic Football Club and I will till the day I die, ill tell you though sometimes it can be really frustrating being a fan of our club hahaha
Any info or thoughts on any of these questions is always greatly appreciated from you guys, yer no a bad bunch lol
Anyway keep the faith troops Hail Hail ?????????.

Knowing our board, daddy lawwell will bring back John park.


2.) 10 Mar 2024 09:41:28
royjac justified concerns mate but the way i see it we are in a title race just now and the support should just be putting everything behind backing the team the now and deal with all that in the summer.


3.) 10 Mar 2024 10:02:42
Im waiting patiently for eventual news that clown Lawwell is gone and until then i won't get my hopes up on positive changes for next season. He has far too much of a say and and its all negative.


4.) 10 Mar 2024 11:49:20
Celtic have to sort out the board first before replacing him IMO Or we will just be as stagnant as we have been same agenda same way of doing things ( wait until we are out of Europe) before strengthening And the manager has to have a big say in who we bring in for that post also The board can start to get sorted now IF DD can be bothered getting his ass of a golf course.

I think the club should have sold Abada in January. Once happened what happened it was never going to end well. I think we are tremendously lucky to have got shot of him now and got a fairly decent fee for him all considering.

royjac73

1.) 08 Mar 2024 10:06:21
I think we pulled a masterstroke to get 8m possibly 10m for him. Squeezing out large fees from prospective buyers is really the only good thing our board can do. Abadas numbers are decent but not great. He hasn'timprovedone bit in almost 3 years. Everytimehe started a game maybe in one or two exceptions, he waa anonymousand really only ever made an impact as a late sub, not even a 65min sub. I don't think he'd ever be consideredgood enough to be a proper celtic right winger and well done to the club as i thought wed be extremelylucky to get our money back.


2.) 08 Mar 2024 10:44:12
Fairly decent fee?

£8M confirmed and upto an additional £3M in add ons.

I'd say given he was a bench player who'd downed tools and we've more than doubled our money (he cost us £3.5M) , was good business.

We move on and there's plenty more at the club and in the first team who can't cope under the weight of the jersey who need to join him.

☘️ ? ☘️.


3.) 08 Mar 2024 10:36:48
It’s generally agreed we could have potentially secured a higher transfer fee for Abada in time a figure of £15m was mooted at one stage at his best which equates to a £5m differential.

I said yesterday he was one of the brightest young talents to come to the club in recent years and he was was one of biggest goal and assist threats along with Jota.

He was better than any wide player we currently have and goals from an Abada returning from injury would have been invaluable given we’re currently second favourites in a title dog fight with a £60m prize.

I express no personal view but expect the board have theirs as others will I simply ask the question is political protest within Celtic Park which was the catalyst for all that followed an absolute right at any cost to the club?

NB: I reiterate this is a question for debate from which no personal opinion should be inferred.


4.) 08 Mar 2024 11:26:18
when i go to chapel its to pray a pub to have a drink a restaurant to eat to celtic park to watch the team play footie.


5.) 08 Mar 2024 11:50:35
Dillets

That’s expressed your view very succinctly all fans forums have been avoiding the debate like the plague.

Thanks.


6.) 08 Mar 2024 11:51:58
I personally think JFP that we've got the best out of a bad situation, one that was likely based on an agenda driven by a combination of Abada's agent, the Israel team manager and others putting in their shekels worth.

The club, as I'm sure you'll agree, found themselves on the back foot and in a situation that was not of their making.

I'd be surprised if BR and those at the club didn't do everything possible to support the player, in every aspect, with the view to getting him back playing.

I agree that not so long ago, particularly after Jota left, he was by far our best winger, although, given how the rest have faired in that position since, that wasn't hard.

Did it look like his market value could have reached £15M or perhaps even more not so long ago? Yes.

Given his first season where he achieved YPOTY, along with his talent and ability, had he gone on to establish himself as a first team regular then such a valuation could have been realistic, no doubt.

As it panned out, he got injured, then the politics quickly followed around the time he was ready to come back, and the rest, as they say, is history.

As a bench player, who presumably made it clear to BR that he wasn't prepared to play one more minute for Celtic Football Club, let alone honour his contract and fight alongside his teammates to retain the League Title, the game was up.

It's a shame for the player that he will never realise what it's like to be idolised by the Celtic supporters as many players have through the ages.

Had he decided to come back and fight, helping his teammates to win this seasons league title, he could have left with his head held high along with the respect and gratitude of the Celtic supporters.

☘️ ? ☘️.


7.) 08 Mar 2024 16:58:25
I wish him well he was a good player for us. If any one really thought he could still play for us with all the politics surrounding his country I think they have to stop and think of what if we were in his shoes and people were raising flags against your country would you be happy about it? Even though the club was paying you a wage. I think we have closed the door on bringing in any Israeli player in the near future at least.


8.) 08 Mar 2024 17:48:06
Tony

It’s hard to argue with your comments.

Thanks.

Good luck Liel Abada

Will never forget when you ghosted Barasic at the back post to score and go 3up before half time, the noise was just incredible. Was pure class.

All the best wee man ?????????.

royjac73

1.) 07 Mar 2024 22:50:55
Am sorry mate a really don’t want to feel this way about 1 of our x players but a really don’t care how he does. I am not political in anyway but I have said b4 why blame the troubles for wanting a move, does he think it be ok going to USA, which have a strong sympathy for Palestine, as our buoys have mentioned he got a great reception from our supporters when he came back and was still on full pay when he downed tools. Play his heart out until end of season and i would wish him all the best, but I apologise if it goes deeper, but it stinks for me.


2.) 08 Mar 2024 00:01:20
I agree Troy, Celtic treated him with total respect and he downed tools because he wanted a move. The Palestine situation will go on indefinitely and there is world wide support for their cause, especially in America. Abada is gone now and no luck should be requested for him.


3.) 08 Mar 2024 05:06:01
There is a rumour going about that abada refused to play because many of us backed Palestine.

If true I am glad he is gone.


4.) 08 Mar 2024 05:25:02
US sympathy for Palestine? ? Obviously you're not political Troy, but you're right that he downed tools so good riddance.


5.) 08 Mar 2024 08:18:44
I don't like the circumstances of what has happened either to be honest and yes he will most likely regret leaving as most do, however I can't deny the fact that the goal he scored that I have mentioned was heavily responsible for being able to enjoy the rest of that night like I've never enjoyed the second half of a match and beyond before.

That night I'm sure we went top of the league and stayed there until about 2 weeks ago or whatever it was. In my opinion, that gives him my blessings whether right or wrong or if anyone agrees or not, I don't really care, I wish him no ill will towards him and his family's future.

Sometimes it is OK to rise above a situation and just be the best person you can be in any given moment, I'm doing that here in this situation.


6.) 08 Mar 2024 07:56:57
There's been widespread support recently just not in the Whitehouse bit likec Westminster where there all scared to condemn the Israeli genocide. Wee richi and lily livered sir keir just talk about Oct 7th conveniently glossing over 60 years of oppression and treating Palestinian people like they had stood on something.


7.) 08 Mar 2024 10:20:13
Celtic could’ve been doing with a fit Abada for the 2nd half of this season.
As a Celtic fan, I feel he has let us down when we needed him the most.


8.) 08 Mar 2024 12:36:27
He gave us some great moments. Onwards and upwards for all parties.


 

 

24 Feb 2024 07:39:40
So is anyone actually prepared to do what is required in order to force the changes that we all want at the club?

Because in my opinion the only way these people will take any notice of what the fans are saying is if we hit them where it hurts them, in their pockets.

A mass fan mobilisation of refusal to purchase season tickets until the changes that are required are made, and are made properly with the best people we can possibly get brought in to do the job and not some cheap option or some guy brought in because he might be good in 2 or 3 years.

It would tough to pull off although I think it can be done.

royjac73

1.) 24 Feb 2024 08:47:21
Fans have already paid for season tickets. Cannot see this working this season.


2.) 24 Feb 2024 09:29:42
It won't work royjac, there's too many people without tickets who would snap them up in a heartbeat. A boycott in European attendance to give them a showing up in front of their UEFA chums is probably more realistic.


3.) 24 Feb 2024 10:01:46
royjac73,

the short answer to your question is no.

The Celtic fans, put simply (with no pun intended) are to loyal (with a small l) .

Given the number of season ticket holders, supporters associations (what do they actually do? ) and the likes, there should be a collective way in which the supporters can in some way influence change at the club, for the better.

☘️ ? ☘️.


4.) 24 Feb 2024 09:52:25
Your right that’s the only way to force change but there’s 15,000 waiting patiently on the season ticket waiting list, ready to take anyone’s place.


5.) 24 Feb 2024 13:05:24
Royjac i’m with you mate, i think it’s about high time the people on the board realise we need more transparency and a change. The board mug is off and like to kid on we act like a big team. too many people have been there too long.


6.) 24 Feb 2024 13:11:40
My guess is a large number of them will be able to get one next season if they are stupid enough to buy one.


7.) 24 Feb 2024 13:23:53
Is there any way the various supporter groups could meet, with the sole aim of agreeing collectively on how and what to present to the Board? Tall order and in itself, time consuming, but nothing is impossible where there's a will there for the good of Celtic.


8.) 24 Feb 2024 13:59:05
Lots of fans group already in contact mate. For example when green brigade got banned, some of the other fans stopped coming in protest and to show solidarity.


9.) 24 Feb 2024 14:23:48
What is it going to take to get the changes made then?

It is funny I suppose though that I woke up today to rumours of DD apparently going to clear out the boardroom, We live in hope I suppose ????????? Hail Hail.


 

 

08 Feb 2024 08:37:16
Didn't we lose last time at Easter Road?

And BR has never won there until tonight

Granted, we aren't playing our best but I'll take a win and a draw on the road at last 2 venue's when playing crap every time, we will regain our form sometime when that is I have no idea. Hopefully in the next match, we have to keep the faith people ?? Hail Hail.

royjac73

1.) 08 Feb 2024 09:54:22
Celtic lost our last away game of the season at Easter Road in May.
Then we had a goalless draw this season.

Celtic have drawn plenty of games at Easter Road that we deserved to win.
Maybe we were due an undeserved victory in Leith.

Didn't something similar happen with big Tom Rogic?

Sure he signed and not long after went back down under on loan and when he came back was a different player though.

I didn't know that is how they came to their valuations, although I did wonder how that other mob across the road were getting such valuations for their players were low in comparison. Guy's on forums chatting $hit explains in now haha

Buzz, as much as I hate to say, it is the Celtic way, hopefully one day before I die (I am almost 51), we will have a board that can run the club like a business and operate like a modern football club is meant to operate. We have to live in hope.

As I've pointed out to many a Sevconite, that in that same period of time we have qualified out the groups of the Champions league on 3 occasions, thus meaning that we have essentially knocked out 6 good teams in process of doing so. And on 1 of these occasions we did lose only very narrowly in extra time to AC Milan, the year they either won it or got to the final can't quite remember.

While yes our record in Europe is pretty woeful, I do think getting out the groups of Champions league is far more difficult than last 16 or quarter final of Europa league, As a Celtic fan I always have belief every year that we can get a few decent results that year.

Mind you, it is probably more hopeful or wishful thinking lol. I also do believe even now that it wouldn't take that much for us to start getting a few results. Maybe only 5 good players added to the squad, also glad to see recently some guy's deemed surplus to requirements loaned out and in the shop window.

If you ask me GG never intended staying long at Celtic, the basis of me forming that opinion is the very low clause inserted into his contract that let him leave when someone triggered the fee of £4.5m or what it was round about that figure.

Which basically meant he could get out quick if he needed to, correct me if I am wrong, but it was apparently the Rugby guy that negotiated that contract? It was most likely one of the only reasons he came to Celtic too.
