Hickey was another left back let go, same as Andy Robertson. I think he has the potential to be just as good.

If Celtic were to go in with£1.5m I think it would be great business for a young scottish left back with bags of potential.

I wouldn't mind Hickey as back up to a more senior left back like Monreal from Arsenal who I believe is available for a relatively low price c£3m someone in here said.

If we got those two in and looked at Ibe (far fetched) or a hardworking hard tackling midfielder I would be pretty content.

El Hamed - who was slated on here before joining looks a player, Ajer has slotted in at RB very well when asked and we still have Ralston for SPFL games - really is his time to buck up and prove he has what it takes.

Thoughts?

This is on the basis Taylor, Melling and all other names Cofuentes, RB from Olympiakos etc fall through.

We couldn't afford Monreal's wages. Ralston isn't good enough either. Moving Ajer away from CB means playing our best defender out of position.

Well if they are now saying ajer is and can play right back shows the cheap penny show at Celtic. They are will to move the best CB to RB when needed and a CM to CB in bitton rather than spend money on improving the positions. As said monreal wages would be too much and Ralston seems to have gone backwards. God help us if we don't get new players. A few injuries in defence and we are in serious trouble with little or no replacements.
