Our general domestic form has been patchy, by our great standards, we've been unfairly criticised for Munich, IMO, and the hack and fans of ALL clubs are waiting on us losing our tremendous unbeaten domestic record and the chance of a double treble. I hope we go out here and remind EVERYONE exactly whonwe are, what's we're about, and why we are untouchable. COME ON, CELTIC!

I see lots of folk think BR will start both Jozo and Boyata. It would be ideal but o cannot see him risking Jozo with Anderlecht on midweek. Maybe on the bench?
20 Aug 2017 11:31:12
So many folk going on about getting a striker in. I really don't think it's needed; how would we accommodate one unless we have a major injury crisis? It's a CB we need, especially if Erik is heading back to Denmark.

Having Paddy in will atleast give us back up. We can't keep 3 strikers happy when Dembele is fit it's going to be difficult enough trying to keep him and Griffiths happy because they will very rarely play together, if at all. Would like to see Aitchison given some game time even if it's the remaining 10 to 15 mins when games are won but understand with the quality we now have on the bench it's difficult to have him in the squad so maybe a loan deal would be best for him this season to see how he develops.

Cbs when fit jozo, boyata, erik, ajer, lustig if needed bitton if needed kieran can adapt but striker if anything long term hapoens to moussa and griff we're fecked because at the higher level we won't get away with playing wee james or tom up there.
3.) 20 Aug 2017 13:16:01
When you only have two strikers, a crisis is when one of them get injured.
Then when the other one has to play almost every other game and then gets injured too, that's just beyond crisis. Turns it into a circus.
Said before and I'll say again, we did no bad when we had more than two in the past and never, ever started a game with a winger up front with no actual strikers.
Get one in that's half decent and won't mind only featuring sometimes.
Or put a bit of faith in our youth strikers maybe.

Timalloys option for stevie may don't sound too bad now lads.
5.) 20 Aug 2017 14:08:27
Would have been ideal.
6.) 20 Aug 2017 14:35:11
Brendan wants to give JA time to develop its not that he doesn't fancy him, I think a Target man would be a good 3rd striker and give us options for the last 10/ 15 mins of games. Whether we go for half decent or young with potential is the question. Young player can spend his first year learning from the quality we already have.
16 Aug 2017 21:23:09
So, how are all the panty-wetters feeling now? 😂.
1.) 16 Aug 2017 21:39:25
I hope all the ones who wanted to spend millions on bringing in so called big players, will appreciate how this team and the players already here have the potential to become great, yet some will still want money spent that will only disrupt this growing team.
2.) 16 Aug 2017 23:14:54
Paddy - job done.
12 Aug 2017 10:22:34
Just going through some of the posts and looking at social media regarding Astana game, it seems strange to me that Astana have suddenly morphed into Real Madrid. I know it will be a tough game, but they're not better than they were last year, and I think we are much improved since we played them. I feel Beer Sheva would have been a far tougher tie. If we're close to our best, I feel we'll go through with a goal or two to spare. Also interesting that a Herald Journalist has stated that Celtic will announce the signing of Roberts today. here's hoping!
1.) 12 Aug 2017 12:24:27
We were so much better. But with the changes to the team and a lack of a striker and paddy, has seen us not as good as we were last year.
We aren't firing at all yet and the lack of adequate cover has made this tie harder than it should have been.
Same old same old CL preparation. Can you imagine the abuse RD would be getting if he had been at the helm and hadn't sorted out the cover? Playing Bitton in cd? Possibly having no striker for the final qualifying round?
Sutton et al would have slaughtered him. And rightly so. It's been a balls up. Surely if we make it next year they will get their feckin figure out quicker.
I won't hold my breath.
{Ed007's Note - We hear the same story every year from our managers, they all talk about getting players in early so that they are ready for the CL qualifiers and yet in the last match against Rosenborg the only new signing playing was Hayes and he was only playing because Forrest was playing as striker.
Not to mention Lawwell's seemingly annual announcement that we could spend £6 million + on a player.}
2.) 12 Aug 2017 12:53:31
As a unit, we are in far better shape then we were against Astana last year. Injuries happen. Can't sign quality on the likelihood that we would lose two CBs to injury? That's just bad luck, as is the situation with Griff and Dembele. We had O'Connell playing at CB v Astana last year! ☺.
3.) 12 Aug 2017 12:56:16
Ed
You forgot the usual "we signed him in January so that is like a new signing for the champions league qualifiers". I will attribute that one to Kennedy as an excuse for us not signing anyone the Summer after we signed Armstrong and GMS.
We all know that to improve we have to be signing better than what we currently have an although I do think Ntcham is going to be a good signing I don't think he is any better than what we already had and Hayes certainly isn't.
4.) 12 Aug 2017 13:04:56
My expectations due to Rogers were raised as I thought he was serious about getting the players in that would take us to the next level. That hasn't happened. Armstrong us more effective imo than Natcham has shown. Hayes in for paddy is farcical. No CB cover. It's just not on.
I will keep the Valium prescription on repeat for now.
5.) 12 Aug 2017 15:18:58
Where has the £17million we made gone from last year's champions league?
6.) 12 Aug 2017 17:45:55
o'neill wouldn't take any of lawwells crap, he would say "do you want me to do the job right? give me the funds then" as long as rodgers is on his massive wage he will be happy to be another yes man.
7.) 12 Aug 2017 18:24:27
Rodger she a yes man? Sh*te.
8.) 12 Aug 2017 21:41:02
O'Neil knew his era of success was over . Just as he did everywhere else .
You are a first Jamesbhoy to raise the issue of Brendan's massive wage . I don't any other proper Celtic fan begrudges B R wages . No manager, with EPL experience would join Celtic if money was their goal.
I think Brendan is right to restrict his purchases to buying the right player for the right position.
9.) 12 Aug 2017 23:42:11
wheres all these players of quality he said he was going to buy then? nowhere because lawwell has told him even though there is a fortune in the bank he won't spend it.
10.) 13 Aug 2017 23:07:41
Qjamesbhoy, how do you eavesdrop on Mr Lawwell's and Mr Rodgers conversations .
How do u know that Brendan is not relatively happy with the players in so far this year . I remind u he has bought in two outstanding youngsters for mid field, the best front line player iSPL outside of Celtic and an outstanding prospect .
If u understand anything about our financial restraints you would appreciate that Celtic cannot afford to buy a replacement for a player who is likely to be out injured for less than 12 wks of season .
We are also blessed with numerous top home bred or brought in youngsters, far better for club to use them if necessary.
24 Aug 2017 07:47:28
In terms of height, Baresi and Canavaro were both 5ft 9in so not so worried there. Just hoping he's around the same package as perhaps Denayer? But we do need as good a CB as we can afford on top of this signing. Losing Erik doesn't concern me; he's always been highly suspect.
16 Aug 2017 22:11:14
Didn't see a single green brigade member score a goal. ☺.
{Ed007's Note - To be fair, it's difficult for a LB to score regularly.}
16 Aug 2017 22:08:54
I said last week that some folk were talking about Astana as if they were Real Madrid. We're a far better prospect now than we were last year. I can't wait to see us when everyone is fit and Roberts is backðŸ˜.
