OK Guys rumours that Kyogo would not be adverse to soming back as would Greg Taylor
Would you like them to re sign.
1
19 Jul 2026 14:35:39
Kyogo was done when he left us. He's not done anything to suggest different.
GT isn't coming back. He said recently he's staying where he is.
1
19 Jul 2026 15:04:37
Absolutely not on both players. More imagination required in my opinion.
2
19 Jul 2026 15:06:08
Kyogo had a good season and a half at Celtic. The calls saying best since Larsson etc were absolutely shocking in my opinion. Not even close.
The number of sitters Kyogo missed cost us more comfortable league wins and was a liability at times. He’s well past it now, I am never keen on resigning players.
As for Greg Taylor he was immense for us and a top player. I’d have him back in a heart beat. He’s one of them that you lose and realise how good he actually was. I am contradicting myself in resigning a player but I believe Taylor had a massive positive impact on the squad behind the scenes. If McGregor is moving on we need to bring in these types of guys to pull the squad together.

I reckon Kyogo made his bed and chose to lie in it when he made it clear he wanted to leave for Rennes.
I would have GT in an instant, i feel like we lost something going forward with him especially when he went inverted and became the extra man in the middle.

Now Celo Sarrachi has came out publicly and said him his agent tried all they could to get a move back to us. This is unbelievable how bad this is.
11
18 Jul 2026 11:15:20
Wasnt bothered about not getting big Ian but this one is mental. Apparently only 1.5 million and he wanted to come. Surely his wage demands weren't beyond what our outdated structure could afford?
6
18 Jul 2026 11:58:18
Seems like the might be going for Bakker as a better option can play anywhere on the left. Loved Sarrachi but maybe they have decided Bakker offers more and better calibre of player.

18 Jul 2026 12:33:37
United… the issue I’m now having is that you may well be right but because we have no faith in those at the wheel we naturally assume this is a $hit$how. It’s an experienced and fairly well informed assumption.
2
18 Jul 2026 12:37:44
Great player but don't think Atalanta will sell for less than £5m tbh. With the scale of the rebuild required would rather we got Saracchi in and used the extra money on a quality starter in midfield or attack.
1
18 Jul 2026 14:04:38
The only flaw here is MON made it clear he wanted Sarrachi.
The board failed him.
Be interesting to hear his take on how he thinks the transfer window is going.

18 Jul 2026 13:42:55
Where’s Mikey when you need him. He could tell us all about him!
Ed has mikey taken a bit time off the site?
2
{Ed007's Note - Mikey still reads the site but with his work and two toddlers running about he doesn't have much free time.}

18 Jul 2026 14:38:41
true mate that's were the issues are laying haveing no faith in them. if they want 5 mate we should be paying it none of this use extra cash here and there.
3
18 Jul 2026 15:26:16
So we had a chance of bringing back Saracchi for a reported £1.5m and who's wages wouldn't be an issue to instead we are reportedly going after a player who will cost around £5m and is on £45k a week.
He also missed 7mths of the end of last season with a knee injury.
Aye, I don't see it happening. Maybe if our so called CEO wasn't terrified of talking to agents, we would get on a bit better.
2
18 Jul 2026 16:26:22
jon bhoy what's the fee got to do with it i thought people were want us to spend big and stop with the 1 million signings. and his injury was the start of last season he came back in january mate so he recoverd from the injury 6 months ago.
also seasons only run for 9 months so ye cannot miss 7 months of the end of the season ats basically missing the whole season
dnt let the truth get in the way of a bit of negativety bakker is a brilliant signing mate. and so is sarrachi so i'm happy with either one.
3
18 Jul 2026 21:17:04
United, my point is that if we all think the board are as bad as they have been made out with penny pinching, there is NO WAY that we will buy a player who is on £45k a week and will cost over £5m when we could get Saracchi for £1.5m and probably on less than £20k a week.
Also when I see the MSM saying Celtic are "Looking at" "Preparing" "Thinking about" "Keen on" or any other crap, you can pretty much guarantee it's total bollocks and never going to happen.
This guy may be a great player but has a history of various injuries over the last 5 seasons and averages less than 25 games a season.
I just don't see our "penny pinching" board spending that on this player.
1
18 Jul 2026 21:48:41
Jon bhoy he doesn’t iv researched him that injury was his first major injury in his whole career hese had a few knocks before out for a few days and weeks about 4 other times nothing major. Once he was at lile he played 35 that season 8 in Europe and he played regularly for Bayer Leverkusen and got okay game time at PSG. Only club hese not really played was Atalanta mate.
And as I says he seems a higher cabire of player so why go for the cheaper option in surrachi maybe there looking to actually get players that will perform in Europe. I love Sarrachi mate I’m happy with either one but can see a lot a positives in the Bakker move and can see why they would go for him instead.

17 Jul 2026 21:50:03
Lost out on saratchi as well just gets better and better.

18 Jul 2026 03:28:58
We have plenty 17 year old.

18 Jul 2026 09:31:40
Chill. We're swooping for a dude from Sligo Rovers in that position who is ripping it up in the LOI.
1
18 Jul 2026 11:59:04
We’re going for Bakker in that position who is a great player won the Europa league as well played for top teams.
2
18 Jul 2026 15:27:59
United
He is on £45k a week and missed 7mths with a knee injury last season. It's NEVER going to happen.
3
18 Jul 2026 16:42:54
Yeah he was instrumental in the Europa league win for atalanta in his 1 appearance in the knockout stage. he's a decent player but he's far from great.
2
17 Jul 2026 16:14:11
Apparently Iheanacho has agreed a deal with Bursaspor in Turkey. Can't really blame him as it's apparently a 3 year deal and he was only getting another year out of us.
5
17 Jul 2026 16:26:28
Official now. Thankfully we've got everything under control and its easier to deal with out of contract players.
5
17 Jul 2026 17:39:58
Wonder how MON feels now with him saying he wants and is confident Ineacheo be in soon, i think Edd is right sumit is brewing behind the scenes, they shouldn't be treating MON like that unless he knows everything that's going on.

17 Jul 2026 18:15:50
It’s the secrets that are killing everyone. Nothing has and will ever change with that load of idiots in charge.
How can we possibly be 3 weeks away from our first game and signed 1 new player. It’s unbelievable really.
5
17 Jul 2026 18:57:55
He had an offer,
Didn’t merit a longer offer from us,
And has chosen a different option, prob correct one for him, the narrative is valid but not sure in this particular case it is,
7
17 Jul 2026 19:16:41
We're off the tail end of a record revenue, Have about £70m sat in the bank, set to bring in tens of millions through player sales, season tickets fully sold out again, the potential to bag a further £40m with CL qualification (no laughing at the back) and we can't even secure a deal for a player that had a years option on his contract. If we thought the 90's was bad then what is even this? I personally wasn't thrilled with the signing to begin with, he did a job albeit with the fitness levels comparable to myself. Wasn't keen on keeping him on either due to said fitness levels and would rather someone that can give us the full 90mins when called upon.
But this is absolutely pathetic from Mickey. When you think the guy can't do any worse he takes it up another level. MoN wanted Iheanacho and the board have failed him. Mickey is totally out of his depth and needs dismissed immediately. Again you can't blame Iheanacho, they let his contract run out, left it way too long to trigger that one year, he probably didn't feel wanted. Although he's not short of a few quid he wouldn't want to be sat around earning f. a when he can get paid elsewhere. Has to be said, swiftly done by Bursaspor. Our board should take note on getting deals over the line when the wages on offer are less than other interested parties!

17 Jul 2026 19:29:11
It’s embarassing mate.

17 Jul 2026 20:02:04
Kenlike,
What secrets? Nobody is due anybody anything!
Deals will get done or not, you don’t need to know before anybody else 🤦🏻♂️.

There’s far more than £70mil in the bank 😜.

17 Jul 2026 20:35:07
seems the boy who plays in Italy being spoke about Bakker. hardly kicked a ball a bit injury prone. seems tailor made for us bit like the one we signed from Ajax when Lennon was in charge I think.
2
17 Jul 2026 21:20:22
John, the secrets I am talking about go far deeper than transfers. The lack of transparency, the lack of action, ambition, communication. The list goes on. Time and time again we are left hanging with what’s going on at the club. Something is a miss.
It’s truly shocking to me and many other fans.
4
17 Jul 2026 22:44:31
there could be 500m in the bank it makes no difference, it can't just be spent on players due to sustainability rules.
money should have been spent over the years on the squad, training ground and stadium.
too happy being just ahead of nearest challenge on the home front and anything else is a bonus.
no serious money will be spent until huge sales made.
2
18 Jul 2026 09:36:21
To think there has been debate for years with Celtic competing in the premierleague. "If we had their money we would win the league in 5 years" not with these risk adverse clowns in charge 😂.

17 Jul 2026 10:27:41
Fresh speculation about calmac this morning at this point if calmac goes MN will have to pull at rabbit out of his arse to make this a successful preseason/ window. The old question from last season will come back will we accept a season of failure to get this mob out?
6
17 Jul 2026 11:53:35
I can’t see him leaving but if he stays I’d like to see him play less and someone else take on the captain role.
Not sure how that would work tho.
5
17 Jul 2026 12:57:50
Agree KenLikeEh. I just hope this season is the end of Calmac in that deeper role amd we get a proper CDM in there. Calmac would be more suited linking midfield to attack but then that's the role you would expect Ox to play as well as hopefully a new marquee signing as a starter there.
4
17 Jul 2026 14:01:21
We might get Nicholson, McKay or Wilson out but Desmond ain't going anywhere.
0
17 Jul 2026 14:51:36
Calmac has said Celtic need to match his ambitions, so if he stays expect plenty of top name signings or mb just fact he's on circa of £30k pw and no1 wants him, ano what my money is on.
0
{Ed007's Note - Ange wants CalMac at Al-Nassr.}

17 Jul 2026 16:16:50
The board will be doing a circle jerk with that news.

Ed do you think we will sign Just?
0
{Ed007's Note - As far as I know there has been no official bids for Just but there is plenty of interest after his WC performances, going with the stories/rumours going about it looks like Celtic might have moved on and that his agent is playing the long game.}

17 Jul 2026 06:41:02
Celtic moved on someone mentioned money. Taxis.
1
17 Jul 2026 07:44:33
would be a good signing. knows the league but how much Motherwell want will be a problem. knowing this board they will offer a pittance and off he trots to another club who will pay the asking price.
and this is the thing that kills me Engels / maeda want to leave Celtic will demand top dollar plus a sell on but refuse to pay the going rate for anyone. seems lawlell was notorious for it.
4
17 Jul 2026 06:33:18
We should be all over this signing but will go for some foreign winger who'll be average at best.

17 Jul 2026 08:40:18
Cheers.

16 Jul 2026 12:04:22
From reading online again looks like here are our signings coming up.
Aaron Malouda €2m. French Youth Player. Produced by Lille. Could be a shrewd piece of business. Averaging a goal every 2 games from the wing in the Azerbaijani premier league.
Haissem Hassan - £8m - Oviedo Winger. Had a great World Cup. I think his stats show he “under performs” however he created a lot of chances that his team mates could not finish - club level.
Dinko Horkas - goalkeeper - actively pursuing the player with a couple of bids knocked back. Looks like Livakovic may not come to fruition after all.
Mitchell Bakker - Left Back - we have been linked with him for years so not sure if this is just lazy journalism or if there is genuine interest.

16 Jul 2026 19:53:40
Nicolson saying the club is looking at out of contract players / young players because nobody wants to come here or agents wanting to much. not looking good.
3
16 Jul 2026 21:53:40
Sounds like last seasons excuse only worded differently. Terrified of spending because of PSR even though the bank balance is stacked. This will only get worse until we get rid of the board. We're not asking to blow all the money just invest the money from player sales back into the squad.
Lower the wage bill by punting all the deadwood and wantaways. It isn't rocket science. Looks like yet another window where we regress even further as the signings will be budget, project signings or freebies. Not another penny.
6
17 Jul 2026 06:35:35
The loans are all away palma, nawrocki and Welsh are gone as has Schmeichel, we badly need players and time is against us.
3
17 Jul 2026 10:21:05
Strange that because Rangers seem to be making plenty signings. I don’t think it’s that players don’t want to sign for us it’s the wages that are a problem. On top of that I think the club is looking to sell.
We won’t win the league next season.
2
17 Jul 2026 06:45:32
Ed can you shed some light on Celtics staff roles that are vacant, that are held by interim appointments, and also roles that exist in most of the top European clubs but not at Celtic?
The fear of panic purchasing, poor recruitment and underwhelmed current players is getting greater by the day, our recruitment process seems to be so dated.
0
{Ed007's Note - For a start we have an interim Chairman and most other clubs have DOF or a Sporting Director. We're miles behind in data analysis & recruitment (scouting etc) and our sports science is probably at it's worst since before Ronny came in.
A lot of clubs employ a Head of Individual Player Development. They oversee personalised improvement plans for every player, improving a winger's crossing or a striker's finishing, helping a CB play out from the back, they set measurable development targets for players.
Many top clubs now have specialists whose only job is to help players improve individual aspects of their game.}

Read that Celtic are looking at completing several deals over the next week.
Whilst I doubt it, it’s referenced Blake and Hassan as preferred wingers.
Source is Team Talk.
6
16 Jul 2026 12:56:33
Blake looks a good player with plenty of room for growth and in the right price bracket for the board. So I can see that one going through unless he has an opportunity at a higher level than we can offer. We're being linked with Malouda also, unsure if that is instead Hassan as the fee is getting out of our comfort zone.
3
16 Jul 2026 18:21:00
Wolves and Burnley are also interested but our bonus is we've got champions league too offer. Their bonus is they can only offer a higher pay grade.

15 Jul 2026 17:30:34
Celtic interested in Adrian Blake only cost 2.5 million put three million down the Celtic.

15 Jul 2026 19:15:44
We will offer £500k then and never hear of him again.

14 Jul 2026 09:57:32
Apparently in advanced talks to sign Canadian and anderlecht midfielder Saliba for 6m.

14 Jul 2026 15:38:27
That's a wind up mate.

14 Jul 2026 17:57:47
OK thanks for that.
0
14 Jul 2026 19:59:44
Yes a definitely wind up. We aren't interested in any player until after the cl qualification is out the way and the crown jewels are sold 🤣🤣🤣 then the hard window / world cup, financial challenges will be rolled out. Then kels will be announced n loans we never heard of or will play a part pmsl.
But tickets bought for Middlesbrough on Saturday for me n my 2 boys. Only time I manage to get tickets 😢😢😢.
