Ola Solbakken?

Rumoured to be close to signing? He ripped us apart when playing for Bodo a few seasons back but not did much at Roma and has just had his loan at Olympiakos cut short.

If he gets his form back from a few years back may be a top class signing.

HH.

{Ed007's Note - Solbakken's already played for Roma and Olympiacos so he can't play for another team this season, Mikey. We could buy him this month, register him as a Celtic player but he wouldn't be allowed to play any matches for us.}

Maybe a no starter then! Big McKenna and Shankland it is then haha!

{Ed007's Note - ?? If this window shuts and we haven't signed McKenna I'm blocking your number mate!}

Shame Solbakken is definitely the type of player we should be after.

{Ed007's Note - Maybe we can line something up for the summer.}

Now might be a perfect time to get him lined up for the summer if we actually want him.

{Ed007's Note - If Roma were willing to sell him on the cheap, a free or even a loan to buy in the summer we realistically bring him in to get integrated into the squad, training, living in Scotland etc and have him up to speed for next season.
I wouldn't imagine his wages would be a problem to cover for 5/6 months of nothing considering what we do have hanging about the squad.}

Is it only two teams a player can play for in a season?, I thought it changed to three. Thought I had seen teams recall a player from a loan they weren’t getting game time at and then send them out again.

{Ed007's Note - It changed during Covid but it's back to 2.}

He destroyed us a couple of seasons ago, with bodo. We couldn’t get near a few of their players, a worry could be that none have done anything in the following seasons and it could have been a flash in the pan season, or they actually just fitted in well with bodo. Unlike all the other teams in the spfl we give wingers room to hurt us as we are an attacking side, it’s ok having pace but if there is 11 players sitting in front of you, there is nowhere to use the pace. For me we need a jota type winger or in fact jota who can create space by skinning a full back either way.

Solbakken would be a great shout IMO.

As you say Ed, even if we could sign him and give him tine to settle and train ahead of next season.
