Celtic Non-Matchday Discussion

He came on against Ross County at the weekend, gave the ball away in a promising attack and they nearly scored. He’s not quite good enough on the ball or physical enough as you say to impose himself on a game other than getting in positions to shoot.

He’s the best of a bad lot given the Scotch market.

We are in for real trouble next season with our European squad regarding the four homegrown and four nation trained players. McCarthy and Johnson are surely done at this stage, Forrest is all but finished. Vata will come in, if he stays but even thats unclear. Again all boils down to the fantastic recruitment from our brilliant transfer approach

Reports earlier in the week about Mikey Johnston going to West Brom on loan seem to be accurate:

Talk is that Celtic are ringing around & desperately trying to get a left back to cover for/compete with the currently injured Taylor so we don’t have to rely on Bernabei.

McGowan in that Daily Mail article from yesterday evening mentioned a couple of names. Kurzawa at PSG was one, but he seems to be doing a James McCarthy there - he’s played 8 times in 3 years. The other lad was Bueno at Wolves but the club turned us down - I’ve never heard of the player.

Bueno is good

That’s one of the kinder Bueno comments I’ve read today.

Kurzawa would appear a non runner if PSG want his wages paid in full (also similar to McCarthy this week) as rumoured

Before @thedancingbaby time, but reminiscent of Dirty Nellies in the Gorbals

I can semi-exclusively reveal that Celtic are trying to sign Peterborough left back Harrison Burrows.

How low can we go?

That chap is supposed to be decent. But it appears we’re not actually interested.

Anyhow, would you welcome shankland as a matter of interest?

We’re not signing a left back, I’m resigned to it.

Turnbull looks like a good player in this farewell clip. The wonders of AI.

I can’t believe they got £2 million for that small fat fuck.

He’s average sized & lean. :smile:

That was a bit of a shambles of a transfer window.

A positive spin on it might say we got rid of a few players who aren’t strong enough (Turnbull, Johnston, Ideguchi, Phillips). And we got Kwon and Tillio out to get experience because they’re not good enough yet anyway.

And then you’d hope that Idah is really just cover for Oh and we didn’t buy him because we think we’ll get our real target in the summer.

And hard to find a positive spin to put on our failure o sign a left back but maybe we are being patient because our squad was too big.

But ultimately we had a lot of money available and a chance to make the league title more probable and we didn’t take it at all.
