To much time on my hands today so what's your Thoughts on this:-
Summer 2024 Ins:
GK - TBC spend approx £8M.
GK backup - ie L Kelly Free.
LCB - S McKenna Free.
LB - KT £10M.
Bernardo £4M.
Lennon Miller £3M.
S Armstrong Free.
CDM Amatey £9M.
CF IDAH 6M.
Winger - Jotta 1 year loan fee £2M.
Money spent approx £42M.
Summer 2024 sales, money in:
MJ £2M
Lagerbeilke £3M
Hacksaw £2M
Kobiashi £1M
Bernabi £1M
ORielly £25M
Frimpong sell on £7M
GG sell on £1M
Money in approx £42 M
In's and out fee's balance up and outwith Matt we should be stronger back to front.
Gk- new 8M, Kelly, Bain
RB - AJ, Tony R.
CB - CCV, Narwoki, Welsh, McKenna, Scales
LB - KT, Taylor
Mid- McGregor, Amatey, Hatate, S Armstrong, Bernardo, Iwata, Holm, D Kelly, Lennon Miller.
Wingers- Maeda, Jotta, Khun, Forrest, Palma, Yang.
CF- Kyogo, Idah, OH.
That is a net 0 spend, we just break the record buy of £10M, might push the existing wages structure if like of KT, Amatey etc accept similar wages to Calmac, also helps with quota of homegrown and Scottish players, it gives us a squad of around 30, BR wants a 25 man squad so limited game time for likes of OH, Yang, Holm and the two youngsters Kelly and Miller.

Kelly is a terrible goalie. Plus 9 million for Amartey ??? you must be taking the mick mate.
2.) 09 Jun 2024 17:48:31
Why not young Toby for back up.
3.) 09 Jun 2024 18:03:02
Bain is a better keeper than Kelly.
4.) 09 Jun 2024 18:48:32
He's not good enough mally.
5.) 09 Jun 2024 20:35:02
Wouldnt have Tierney back he's no better than Taylor in Europe and certainly not worth £10m, supposedly quoted £3m for Armatey so why pay £9m.
6.) 09 Jun 2024 22:29:26
For me BR needs to focus on strengthening the 'spine' of the team and ensure he goes all out to bring in higher calibre players than ate in those positions.
GK - Kelleher? (No.1)
GK - NO.2 (Bain 3rd choice)
CB - to partner CCV (Scales on the bench)
LB - to replace Taylor (KT would be a gamble due to injuries)
CDM -?
Striker - Idah
Winger - not convinced on Palma, Kuhn deserves another season, Yang needs to go on loan.
Frees
CB - McKenna
MF - Stuart Armstrong for the bench.

I’ve said it before, but if we continually sell our best players we aren’t going to improve, why not tell oriley we are going to sign more quality this season, stay for another season as u just signed a four year deal. Why are people fascinated with a zero net spend? Why don’t we spend some of the 80 million left over from last season ( after selling our best player ) and more of the money we are going to make from this seasons champions league group . What’s wrong with spending an extra 20 million and leave us still massively in profit?
8.) 10 Jun 2024 10:50:05
No idea why people think McKenna would be good for us. He’s slow and clumsy.
9.) 10 Jun 2024 23:23:43
I'd go for Fruk when MOR leaves. Looks very similar Rolls Royce kind of player and assist king in Croatian league. 2 GK, LB, CB or 2 and move on the ones not contributing, CDM and some creative backup to Hatate.
10.) 10 Jun 2024 23:58:04
The Board has been accused regularly by many posters of going for cheap, option, I think many who are advocating McKenna are doing so as they see him as a cheap option.
11.) 11 Jun 2024 07:46:34
I think the people who are advocating McKenna are doing so because he is Scottish, he immediately improves the the squad by way of replacing Welsh and even Scales in the squad.
It doesn't matter what many people think but the bottom line is we have to have X amount of Scottish players in the squad and for the same reason it is why we have the likes of Welsh, Forrest and Bain in the squad despite people saying they aren't good enough to play for us.
Even although Forrest has had a bit of a swansong recently how many can say they actually expected that? We have to sign some Scottish players to complement all the foreign imports we have and that is just the fact of it, McKenna comes as a free and due to his apparent allegiance shouldn't be too difficult to deal with so really it is a no brainer.
12.) 12 Jun 2024 19:00:46
I would hope the Board would only sign players that would make our match squad better . That should be the bottom line that we can’t drop under . Cost and wages etc should be of secondary importance . If a player doesn’t fit into our style of playing or team set up, he isn’t going to help much .
Forrest is still a 32 year old youngster, when u compare him to 39 yr old Ronaldo who destroyed Ireland’s defence last night, even Scales had difficulties as Ronaldo scored 2 and could have more.

23/ 24 Double
22/ 23 Treble
21/ 22 Double
20/ 21 Covid season
19/ 20 Treble
18/ 19 Treble
17/ 18 Treble
16/ 17 Invincible Treble
As child of the mid 60's going through the barren times during the 90's was tough, so to see us win 19 domestic trophies since 2016 is
Incredible and it makes it all the more enjoyable to see us celebrate and to see their hopes diminish year on year, I'm so pleased to enjoy every minute of this remarkably successful period in our unbroken history.
Thank you Glasgow Celtic.

Incredible to win 19 domestic trophies from a possible 21 in front of our brilliant supporters ?.

HI ED,
Thanks for your brilliant continued work on the site again this season.
Here's one for the statisticians, not sure if it's happened before or what the record is but I just love it that they were never at any point a goal up in any of the 5 games we played them this season.
HH KTF?.
{Ed007's Note - You're welcome mate ??

Aye same here ed you've done a fantastic job well done mate ???.
{Ed007's Note - Thanks MTT ??
2.) 27 May 2024 12:31:24
Without you Ed007 and Buzz bomb, we would be lost in a haze of either fake news or no news .
{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate ??

Good luck today ED,
Would love to hear a (modified) rendition of this beach 'bhoys' classic being belted out if we gub them today.
'And we'll have FUN FUN FUN
Till the Celtic take the Title again'
Big 'Phlip' will really flip if he hears this?

What's worse and needs dealt with quicker:
Having a waterlogged pitch?
Coins and glass bottles thrown at players and coaches in the highest profile game in our country?
They have punished Dundee in quick time, but absolute silence on the coins and bottles thrown at Ibrox?.
1.) 19 Apr 2024 15:06:03
Answered your on question methinks lol. Seriously but, yes have to agree it would seem that way.
17 Apr 2022 13:06:48
Strong bench, are 5 subs available in the cup games?
23 Oct 2021 14:04:27
Looking a much stronger first team and bench, we still have McCarthy, Jullian, Forrest and Taylor still to return too.
HH KTF??.
26 Jan 2021 13:52:27
Good luck to him, he has had some brutal tackles on him since he came into the team, might do better in a league that has less hammer throwers.
22 May 2019 16:33:11
We should keep a lid on this and I am sure SC is astute enough not to make this an issue, I remember all the stick Aiden McGeady got for picking Ireland over Scotland, we don’t want any of that nonsense put onto KD.
20 May 2019 10:51:16
Can’t understand all the negativity around Davey Moyes, he’s done well at most of his previous posts, hand picked for Man Utd by Fergi, his record was decent and compares favourably with LVG and Jose, he we have us well organised and he is high profile manager who knows the club, can spot a player, got good contacts at top flight English clubs and knows what going for 9/ 10 IAR is all about, IMHO we are daydreaming of Jose, Rafa, AVB types that are fantasy managers, Moyes ticks a lot of boxes for what we need moving forward.
23 Jun 2024 00:15:08
Coincidentally “The Hand of God” won the 5:40 at Ascot today??.
17 Jun 2024 21:01:49
MJ £6M
OH £4M
Frimpong sell in £7M
GG sell on £1M
Hacksaw £2M
Largerbielke £3M
Nawroki £4M
Abada £10M
Total £37M.
{Ed007's Note - We won't get £1 million from the Giakoumakis clause, it'll be nearer the £350k mark.}
19 Apr 2024 12:51:26
Even funnier the Chaser answered Therangers?.
15 Feb 2022 22:03:53
CalMac for me, he’s stepped up to be our new captain when we were in a real mess at the start of the season, he’s literally put his body on the line for us, he’s taken us to the top of the league all this and more with team full of brand new players from all over the world.
03 Feb 2022 16:45:51
Don't know why you felt the need to try and point out a very minor negative point?.
