The comments
Very underwhelming thus far . The only hope is that the Huns splashing out on big wages might embarrass Celtic into getting someone big.
Number 10
I think this chap looks good.
There was an article or clip of an Austrian journo rubbishing him, but we’ll see. We’re still shopping at Dunnes stores rather than brown Thomas.
Explosive pace & very good dribbler but lacks finishing composure, according to reports. Maybe the latter is something that can improve with training/time/experience. I’m quite positive about it myself.
I’m quietly hopeful he will be the second coming of Boerrigter but I don’t want to get my hopes up too high.
Sounds like Salah 1.0
Some lad on a forum who knows someone who knows someone who manages the club shop at Celtic Park reports that the shop personnel have been told to get a couple of jerseys with #6 on them ready for a new signing unveiling. More news as I get it.
The age old left back rumours, whispers and desperation for an arrival. Owen Beck loan? Sessegnon? Ian Harte?
The kit man was told not to bother with a tracksuit top as he tends to train in a t-shirt
That Owen Beck chap is the best player I’ve seen face Celtic in jocko competition this season. The various newspaper reports are uniformly saying Celtic want a striker on loan to backup Kyogo, especially with Oh & Maeda away at the Asian Cup. That said, the tournament will be over by mid February. Talks of scouring the EPL loan market & it’ll probably be a Danny Ings type coming in on deadline day.
Still a few rumours swirling around Jesse. Keep an eye out for g wagons.

This would be in line with Rudi earlier

Atletico Madrid have made a bid for Matt O’Riley, according to Sky Sports. He’s one of those players that will move onto a bigger league but hopefully not mid season.
Some chat about Liel Abada going out on loan before a summer sale. I think he’s come under severe pressure in Israel to move from Celtic, as the club has been deemed a Hamas cell by zionist headbangers. He looked sharp last weekend and I’d prefer if he could stay & other wide players were moved on.
Disappointly quiet about any other reinforcements. Owen Beck coming on for Liverpool last weekend means he can’t move to a third club in one season. I haven’t seen any other strong links. There was some talk earlier this month about a young Icelandic international keeper playing in Sweden potentially being Hart’s summer replacement but I see several clubs are trying to buy him now & he’s reported to be signing for Brentford.
Quail surprise
And there we have it.
I fully expect a headline along the lines of ‘Rocco Vatas contract extension is like a new signing says Rodgers’ to appear soon. Honestly Lawell Sr and Jr need hunted from the club.
