Mooy to sign this week.

Edg

1.) 17 Jul 2022 22:55:37
This would be an amazing signing IMO.
He's what we need right in the middle.


2.) 17 Jul 2022 23:32:31
Hopefully if that is true it will be an extra surprise signing over and above the two signings Ange stated we were after. If not its a bit underwhelming if I'm honest ?.


3.) 17 Jul 2022 23:41:55
Free transfer,1 year deal, good experienced professional, and losing experience in Rogic and Bitton, be a decent deal, still would like to see CB and another CDM.


4.) 18 Jul 2022 00:15:10
I understand if he’s on a free it’s possibly too good a chance to pass up especially when ange knows him inside out but the worry for me is still the lack of a physical presence in that team. Mooy, hatate, and even mcgregor might be physical in there own way but we’re building a team mostly with guys around 5ft 9 and below., and to put it in a nice way most of our starting 11 are going to be tiny.

The amount of goals we conceded last season from set plays should have been a warning sign, we’re absolutely done for in the champions league when it comes to corners and free kicks into the box.


5.) 18 Jul 2022 08:00:33
I just hope he isn’t one of the two Ange mentioned. And anyway, until he’s signed it’s all bollocks speculation. If we get him It’s a good addition, he’s still as fit AF.


6.) 18 Jul 2022 08:11:28
I know what you're saying MK74 and I've also been calling for a CDM type player to add some steel in the middle of the park.

At the same time, last season's league table shows we scored more goals, 92, and conceded less goals, 22, than every other team in the league ?

☘️ ? ☘️.


7.) 18 Jul 2022 08:24:34
Domestically is not the issue it's europe wee are an absolute shambles .


8.) 18 Jul 2022 08:44:27
Great signing if true can pass for fun.


9.) 18 Jul 2022 11:22:54
T1M,

I agree.

Domestically we've got more than enough strength in depth but in Europe, I think we could sign the starting 5 from the Harlem Globetrotters and still lose goals.

Not just through poor defending at set pieces (crosses) but by not adjusting tactically.

☘️ ? ☘️.


10.) 18 Jul 2022 11:26:22
Reports coming out that it couldve been a choice of the psg player or Mooy making a claim that Ange was give a choice between the two.


11.) 18 Jul 2022 11:51:38
Morning All

On podcast last night there was chat around "modern game" eg goalkeepers being coached to play out from back, sweeper keeper etc

I think 1 of Celtic's poor defence at times especially from corners, free kicks etc is due to zonal marking we use. (modern game) .

Surely it's easier for our tallest defender to mark opposition tallest player and so on rather than zonal where that could be a smaller player marking there tallest?

Mibi am old fashioned but zonal marking, keeper playing out from back, sweeper keeper etc I don't think we're ther in 60,s, 70,s and 80,s (I maybe wrong) .

I think we need to be adaptable and not predictable in our play.
Teams will find us out and eventually could cost us very important games.

We need to be able to change our style of play, tactics etc depending on game and opposition.

Take Care ??

?.

{Ed007's Note - We've spoke about zonal marking before Brian and I totally agree with you 100%.}


12.) 18 Jul 2022 12:48:06
I’m not the slightest bit worried domestically, I’ve got full faith we will only improve and go and score lots of goals and become champions again next year. In Europe however, it’s a totally different ball game and especially in the champions league. It might be good playing the fast open and silky stuff but that alone won’t win points in Europe, we’re severely lacking on the other side of the game, hard to break down, set pieces etc.

Let’s not forget we also conceded the most amount of goals in the europa league last season out of any other team. Ange however does know best after all us fans can only share an opinion but I must admit we’re going to struggle big time if we don’t properly rectify the faults from last season.


13.) 18 Jul 2022 14:37:19
The thing with man for man marking is that top strikers lap it up. They want to be marked. Then at a corner they can 'lose' their marker in a crowded box easily. With zonal- if done properly- the striker can make a run, or turn back, or faint to go one way, or spin in behind his marker- if he does this then technically there should be someone else covering that zone- meaning there's never any space. It's the way to go and why most teams do it. You got to be good at it though.


14.) 18 Jul 2022 16:06:15
Mooy is class, be great if we get him and he is naturally fit. Two weeks hard training and he will be ready to go.


15.) 18 Jul 2022 19:12:38
Smkmeakipper.

You kinda have made my concerns for me.

When zonal marking is in place the oppo striker goes into a zone where one of our players are.

What if that player is smaller height wise etc.

Again, I maybe wrong but I think many goals scored against us was from headers or where our player should / could have headed ball out of danger?

Take Care ??

Friend of mine is a pro footballer playing for an SPL team. They are being told that the most likely outcome of this virus is that the football will not start again until August. This season will finish now and champions and relegation will go on the tables as they are now. So Celtic will be champions and hearts relegated out the SPL. European places will also be as they are now. No play offs and the Scottish cup will be scrapped.
This is not definite, but is the most likely.

Rumour of Micah Richards from villa doing the rounds.

Edg

1.) 31 Aug 2018 18:34:29
Fecking hope not.


2.) 31 Aug 2018 18:56:14
He could’ve been a very good player but he’s a nutter.


3.) 31 Aug 2018 19:05:58
Jeezo he's never kicked a baw for about two years, better off with Keith Richards, at least the end of season party would be good.


4.) 31 Aug 2018 19:10:49
Be better aff with Keith.


5.) 31 Aug 2018 19:49:58
Or Micah Paris.


6.) 31 Aug 2018 20:20:28

7.) 31 Aug 2018 21:17:03

8.) 31 Aug 2018 22:29:47
Jumping off one, after the transfer window we have had.


 

 

09 Aug 2018 12:55:36
Huddersfield want paddy Roberts on loan for the season. Premier league team so will probably go there rather than back to us?

Edg

1.) 09 Aug 2018 17:06:52
They signed a winger from Montpellier. There's hope yet!


2.) 09 Aug 2018 18:02:23
I don’t think he went there so we must be in pole position now 👍.


3.) 09 Aug 2018 18:15:18
I hope so Edg 👍.


4.) 09 Aug 2018 23:42:42
Can championship teams be able too still get loans in cause am sure he could go somewhere in that league but I may be wrong.


 

 

30 Oct 2016 11:49:18
Ok so we know the daily record is a sh@t paper but how do they come up with their stories? Today it is that moussa Dembele is worth £40 million! We if it's true sell him now and take the money. The boy is good. One of the most promising at Celtic in years but £40 million? And Real Madrid will sign him and loan him back to us! Lazy journalists desperate to sell papers I think.

Edg

1.) 30 Oct 2016 15:19:47
Must admit Edg totally agree with you. Let's be real here 40 million what a load of nonsense. Dembele is some player but considering a club like real madrid are sniffing around Pablo Dybala for the summer 2018 transfer window it puts things into perspective. Let the lad mature and develop here and as for Chelsea anyone else remember the last time they came in for a youngster from here? If someone offered 10 mill at the end of the season for a player that cost 500k you'd bite the hand. Simple as Scottish football cannot demand such a figure. Load of nonsense.


2.) 30 Oct 2016 17:12:04
@Edg and jb84 BOTH OF YOU are talking nonsense. Ok £40m seems pie in the sky but if Moussa keeps developing AND scoring goals in the Champions League then Celtic have at least a £15m -£20m player on their books. Celtic hold all the aces here.
I hope we Celtic fans can enjoy Dembele for at least the next 2 seasons but if not sell to the highest bidder and reinvest cash in the team.
Here is another idea, if say Real Madrid want him, sell him but as part of deal sign one of their up and coming players, so Celtic get £20m AND a promising player.


3.) 30 Oct 2016 17:25:33
Agree that he is not worth £40m but definitely don't agree about biting the hand off for £10m. When you look at strikers out there who cost far more and couldn't lace Mousa's boots and add to the fact he is only turned 20 then I'd be looking for £20m. You said Scottish football dictates we can't get more than £10 but we have already done that with Forster, Van Dijk and Wanyams so that comment makes no sense. Also, as a striker, they always demand a premium and also the Premiership has much more money nowadays. If they are paying £15m down there for Ross McCormack and Jonathan Kodjia then they should be paying £20m+ for Moussa. He is better and much younger than both. That said, I want to keep him for as long as possible as we are building a quality team just now.


4.) 31 Oct 2016 06:43:57
He's already a £15m player, if he keeps developing £20m by the summer is not improbable.


5.) 01 Nov 2016 17:32:28
He is our player and he says he wants to be our player for years to come, quoting valuations and posting about him leaving isn't helpful .

Jack Wilshere on a pay as you play perhaps? If Fit, he could do a job perhaps?

Edg

{Ed007's Note - All he'd be doing is keeping a youngster from progressing or sitting injured.}


1.) 26 Aug 2021 18:17:36
Wilshere is pish.


2.) 26 Aug 2021 18:19:59
He wid be lucky to get a game for hearts! Crap and injury prone. Think he's only had 1 decent season in his career.


3.) 26 Aug 2021 19:08:06
Feck naw.


 

 

31 Jul 2021 17:31:00
Guys, **** the champions league. **** the europa league. **** the Scottish cup. **** the league cup. All I'm bothered about is the league. That's all we need to win this season and then we can get back to the other comps from next season. Let's back the manager and the team and put that mob back in their box!

Edg

1.) 31 Jul 2021 18:27:30
That was last seasons script.


2.) 31 Jul 2021 18:30:22
👍Correct the Leagues our priority this season.


3.) 31 Jul 2021 18:32:32
Having a team capable of handling itself in europe helps us win the league. It shows how far we have plummeted, that we accept we are an utter fecking shambles on the biggest stage. We are Celtic and the day we accept a board of rubbishbags turning us into a laughing stock, is the day we accept we have lost our sense of ourselves. I will never accept being a laughing stock in europe, but we will be until we chase those criminally inept barstewards on our board along London Rd. The only thing truly inspiring about our club in europe, is our support. In everything else we are a joke. Or I should say, the board are.

Lennon out tomorrow. Kennedy in interim charge.

16 Sep 2020 18:56:05
If Celtic finish in the top 2 this year, they will become the first club in history to finish in the top 2 of any professional football league for 25 consecutive years.
Some achievement!

Edg

1.) 16 Sep 2020 19:04:24
I wouldn't expect anything else tbh.


2.) 16 Sep 2020 19:17:53
Can think of a lot better achievements by us.


3.) 16 Sep 2020 21:45:58
That is interesting, but not remarkable. nothing about that makes me more content

Interesting as it is

And PS, I thought we were poor tonight, lacklustre, boring, an " ultimately" nothing performance

The 3 point are helpful, but this type of performance will not propel us to 10 IAR.


4.) 16 Sep 2020 21:52:56
lubomirwho totally agree great 3 points but we are not firing on all cylinders. the sooner the window shuts the better.


5.) 16 Sep 2020 22:03:35
Lubomir - IMHO, Taylor/ Elhamed/ Klimala/ Forrest (goal aside) were all poor. The sooner we get a LWB in and someone to challenge/ replace Forrest the better. Someone who can hit a penalty would be a bonus.


6.) 16 Sep 2020 22:24:13
Forrest has it in his locker to do better . its attitude and hunger and pressure on being selected

Eddy is off it .40m?


7.) 16 Sep 2020 22:49:55
Agreed.

McCarthy on his way on loan for the season.

Edg

1.) 01 Sep 2020 22:05:30
If he's fit then he could be excellent. Raises more questions about Broony if it happens. HH.


2.) 01 Sep 2020 22:30:39
One sick-note goes out, one sick-note comes in; balance in the universe is maintained.


3.) 01 Sep 2020 22:59:40
Mick?


4.) 01 Sep 2020 23:17:27
Loan to buy hopefully, if he can stay fit great signing.


5.) 02 Sep 2020 00:34:17
any truth to it though? He's another one like Roberts that's linked every window.


6.) 02 Sep 2020 07:55:52
Well if McCarthy does come in, I wonder which one of Christie, McGregor, Ntcham or Turnbull won't be getting much game time.


7.) 02 Sep 2020 10:03:01
For years McCarthy was injury prone. However, he seems to have put his injury nightmare behind him as he played a large number of games last season.

With that being said, if this is an option I would be over the moon to see him sign for us.

I think it would be a good move to make Kennedy sporting director. A whole new management team will be coming in so Kennedy can be the link between them and the fans. He knows all about Celtic and what is demanded by the fans. Would be able to advise Howe on things he should and shouldn’t do when you’re Celtic manager.

We also need the fans to dig deep for their teams as well as the nhs. I see Stirling Albion raised £20k in 36 hours to help save their club. Fair play.

McCann and Kerr. £3m for both. That would improve the team.
