Vuskovic - we offered £4.2m in April so if rumours are picking up again it seems like we might match their asking price and make a statement of intent. This could be good fun.

Sign the Croatian dude then get a right back in asap.


2.) 25 Jun 2021 12:46:18
Signing, 2 CB's, RB, LB, 2 MF, Striker would be a decent start 😉.

Hope he’s a left booted centre half lol.


2.) 25 Aug 2020 11:30:19
Can't beleive that they want 7.2mill.


3.) 25 Aug 2020 11:35:09
There saying it’s agreed if this is true edouard must be for the off.


4.) 25 Aug 2020 11:43:26
cannot see it lads! Eddy ajeti klimala griff and this guy! Can someone please explain why there still isn’t a centre back been brought in? It beggars belief honestly! Midfielders and strikers! We need a solid centre back!


5.) 25 Aug 2020 11:45:10
Am in your boat Danny get that back line sorted if it’s true edouard must be for the off?


6.) 25 Aug 2020 12:11:17
It's a rumour site lads take it with a pinch of salt. Until Celtic announce it then have a moan. Is there not 4 weeks left. Also don't u think Celtic know what players they need.


7.) 25 Aug 2020 12:12:40
DAP it’s the same old bloody story mate! How long does it take to go and get a solid no nonsense centre back honestly! If this guys coming in at 7 mil on top of ajeti for 5 million, I would be worried about eddy staying for the 10! Cannot see spending 12 million on 2 strikers without someone going! But it could be ntcham or ajer! 🤷🏻‍♂️.


8.) 25 Aug 2020 12:44:34
It’s a lot of nonsounce trabsaspor have sayed he’s going no where .


9.) 25 Aug 2020 12:45:18
He can play both sides.


10.) 25 Aug 2020 13:35:25
Unless griff has burned his bridges.


11.) 25 Aug 2020 14:29:12
Wish Celtic would come out and say 'EDDY IS GOING NOWWHERE'; However, the speculation and wishful thinking from our detractors is not being discouraged enough IMO; so I reckon we are preparing to sell.


12.) 25 Aug 2020 18:07:19
It looks like he can play up front or on the left in a 4-2-3-1.


13.) 25 Aug 2020 20:27:43
The Ghanaian won't be joining
No WAY

It's pure rubbish

We move on.

Racing Genk in for Eboue Kouassi.

Hope so nefrly as bad as rogic.


2.) 17 Jan 2020 09:20:36
Loan or sale?


3.) 17 Jan 2020 09:55:32
That’ll be because they missed out on Sorro.


4.) 17 Jan 2020 09:58:16
Loan with an option to buy included. They’ve just sold Samatta and so have money and wages available.


5.) 17 Jan 2020 20:40:20
What a waste of money he was. Only one good game and always injuried.


6.) 17 Jan 2020 22:05:35
Why don't we keep Kouassi, and let them have Brown.


7.) 18 Jan 2020 15:28:20
Not really a good sign if they think they're similar standard.

Jonathan Kodjia on loan until end of season from Aston Villa.

Jambo1888

Why would we look to get in another striker? We have just signed two.


2.) 12 Jan 2019 18:03:28
Good player but surely no more strikers will come in.


3.) 12 Jan 2019 18:28:09
No chance they letting him go. Not with the doubts over Abraham’s future. Plus we now have 4 strikers. No more coming in.

Team for Livi.
Hart
Gustav CCV Scales
Palma O’Riley Odin CalMac Frame
Oh Kyogo.

Jambo1888

1.) 19 Dec 2023 16:43:10
It would be asking too much of Frame to play as a wingback.
The same could be said about Palma.
I agree about your formation Jambo.

The biggest problem facing Celtic is one of stick or twist. Firstly our youth setup should be producing at least one player per season that will make the first team consistently. This is where a lot of European clubs are successful. Some Dutch and Spanish teams are particularly good at this. Celtic are not progressing youth players into the team. This has a couple of knock on effects. When the fans see a youth player, one of their own, they get a real buzz out of it. A connection between the fans and players can often be strengthened by this kind of development. It also means that the other youth players can see a route into the first team and don’t look elsewhere or have their heads turned as some might say. Also, it keeps the club more anchored to its local roots etc.
The teams which stockpile all the prospect players tend to be the teams flirting with financial instability as we have seen with the EPL.
The mix is not right at Celtic. They need some youth coming through the ranks. They need to add some quality youth in there from purchases but hoarding players without them getting consistent game time due to inflated squads is an absolute killer.
Experience counts as well but it has to be experience that can still perform at a very high level. Joe Hart has plenty experience but is on a downward slide in his career. Stabilising a squad is also important. Consistency of team selection. A settled back four. A robust spine to the team etc.
If a player is good enough he’s old enough. Look at Barcelona trusting 16 year old kids to win matches from the bench etc. It doesn’t always work and yes they are Barcelona but it should be the same footballing philosophy across the board.
The board and the manager are ultimately responsible for this structure. A director of football can help some clubs achieve this. So Celtic either need to gamble on youth and trust young quality players coming in and give them settled game time or risk stagnation. Sell a Matt O’Riley for 20m or so? Buy a player in at 10m. No dithering about. No low ball offers. Just get the business done. We should be miles ahead of where we are now. January window is huge. Pressure is on. Sometimes that pressure can work for you or against you. We shall see in the coming weeks and months. And yeah, let the GB back in. Or at least start talking to them.
Take care everyone and I wish you all peace.

I agree that with the facilities, the caches and finances we have it is very disappointing we are not producing our own talent, but I think we have failed to risk giving opportunities to young players. We also 'adopt' projects from other countries who seem to jump the queue and even then many of them never quite make the grade.
There is another factor that is a vicious circle, where we aim to maintain success by putting the best team available on the pitch and youth usually takes a back seat - sometimes in favour of players that lack the quality we should be attracting. Therefor, many of our youngsters lose heart and see their futures elsewhere.
We certainly don't seem to have the correct formula and blend at present, as we can see by the current chopping and changing. Unfortunately, many of us are getting the feeling that the right hand at the club totally disregards the left hand and there has been severe flaws in the recruitment, especially last summer. Celtic have been crying out for quality and experience in a goalkeeper, left back, solid defensive mid and striker for over a year and it has caught up with us big-time.

Where to start. Next window we need another GK brought in. Hart is not the answer for Europe. Bernardo looks like a good player but is off the pace still. Palma has a future here but needs to curb his temper. Kyogo is struggling a wee bit in the system that Brendan is using him in. We need a midfield enforcer. AJ has a lot more work to do on his defensive positioning.

Scales needs to work on keeping in line with CCV at times. Nobody likes to lose like that last night, but I think Brendan realised that game time in that environment would benefit a lot of the newer players. Turnbull is a good option if you’re looking for someone to hit a long range goal against a stubborn defender, but what does he bring apart from that really.

The next transfer window is one of the most important ones in a long time. We’ve not really hit the heights we were hoping for so far this season, but it could just be a good season for bedding in some newer players and getting the team to where Brendan wants it. A few players don’t look out of place, but with a man sent off away from home against Athletico Madrid, it becomes almost impossible.

We lack height, which is my main worry. Set pieces are still a problem. We need to spend big in January on 3 areas. GK, CM, Striker. The worrying thing is that’s the spine of a team. We seem to have back problems and I hope BR is a good chiropractor.

Jambo1888

1.) 08 Nov 2023 19:03:12
Jambo, a good enough post, but the next window is always the most important and the most important thing is that we don’t lose any of our top 14/15 players. Last window at the start looked good, but Jota decided on a gap year, Starfelt became a lonely heart and chased after his true love.

The Australian took to the good life and retired. CCV injured up to recently and two new CBs became injured too. Abada out probably for the rest of the year, may not play again for us. Hatate injured at season start, just beginning to show form out again for another month.

I suppose penny pinching board should have foreseen departures, retirements and injuries. I don’t want to be seen as a supporter of Board, but it wasn’t easy this summer especially when u add in new Manager and players he wanted.


 

 

15 Sep 2022 09:26:01
First 20, great. Then something changed. CCV wasn’t running much at all. Looked like he was nursing something. Looked like a misunderstanding between CCV and Captain Callum for their goal. Also did look like Hart moved his head away from the ball. Glad to get to half time. Second half different and Ange tried some different things to wear them down and get a result. Unlucky in places. A draw or better against Leipzig will be required for progression. They now have Rose as their coach and will be a tough team to beat. On to Sunday. If anybody has the full game to watch back - look at CCV during the second part of first half. Looked like he was either feeling an injury or in some sort of shock. No running whatsoever. Weird.

What did their team cost versus ours?
Great performance and we took the game to them. The level of technical ability of our players has gone up a level. It’s little by little but we’ll get to where Ange thinks we should be. Competing in the Champions League every year. The model for our football club going forward is light years ahead of what Rodgers and Lennon brought with them. We’re slowly unleashing our potential and it’s a beautiful journey we’re all on together as One Club. Ange just gets it so much. His back story and ours as a Club is the perfect match. I do think we need to have a bit more height and strength in the team especially midfield and the additions in the transfer window are welcome. Haksabanovic is going to have us off our seats regularly. What a time to be a Tim! Hail Hail.

Jambo1888

1.) 07 Sep 2022 12:13:42
haksabanovic looks the part but if he gets a starting position who misses out.


2.) 07 Sep 2022 12:37:32
I think we are going to get stronger. Olly and haksabanovic could become starters. Then it's Cal and oreilly or hatate, jotq and haksabanovic wide.


3.) 07 Sep 2022 14:27:30
I think Sead has been brought in to make sure we don’t put too much pressure on some of the younger ones. I mean Abada is what 20? O’Riley is 21? So the rotation is also needed to protect the young ones a little as well as injuries, schedule, recovery etc. I also think that Haksabanovic could operate more centrally. So I don’t think players will be missing out. Ange has the players he wants for the positions he wants covered and they’ll all get enough games. Ideguchi and McCarthy might not get a lot but they are possibly good options to bring into Domestic cup games if we’re in a comfortable position.

FFP has been replaced by the Financial Sustainability Regulations. It targets 3 areas. The no overdue payables rule, the football earnings rule, and the squad cost rule. I think bizarrely the cap for squad cost is being phased in at 90, 80 then 70% of club revenues which seems a lot of wiggle room for clubs to start with. As far as I can tell the football earnings rule can be exploited by rich owners for club improvement purposes but not the playing squad itself.

Bosun Lawal will be involved heavily next year. Maybe deployed as CDM or CB.
