Celtic Summer Transfer Window 2020 & Associated Malahide Public Amenities Discussion

O’Connor away to Tranmere on loan for the season

Rogic going to Qatar?

Hmmmm. We’re selling, or not renewing, a lot of players and a good few reinforcements are still needed. The squad’s fairly threadbare despite the couple of additions so far.

£4m is not a lot for a player of Rogic’s talent. He’s a far better player than Christie for me. Presumably Turnbull will be signed as his replacement?

Yeah I’m not keen on seeing him leave at all.

From a contribution point of view I’m not sure he’ll be missed that much because unfortunately he’s been unavailable a lot in recent seasons. But he’s very talented and a different type of player.

Maybe it’s just rewarding Ntcham more and elevating his status (plus I think we’ll see Elyounsoussi more as a #10 behind 2 strikers). But I’d say Rogic himself is probably keen on the move to get more starts with a less demanding workload.

£4m seems too low though.

Id love it if he joined

Really? He’d be a great signing but the finances would hardly stack up?

Twitter making noises

Are we really in for another striker or is this press nonsense?

It would make zero sense.

£5m for Duffy in a permanent deal is a good bit of business as far as I’m concerened. He’s well suited to the Scottish game and is a solid defender and a player who would be ready to hit the ground running.

We should definitely be making this one happen.

A left back and right sided attacker should be next on the agenda.

Certainly means Rogic is off so.

Not sure what type of midfielder Turnbull us, I can’t really remember him standing out too much but the little bits I’ve seen of him he seems quite one paced. His goalscoring record the season before last was fantastic, can he play deeper than Christie?

I’m not against this but I really struggle to see why we are signing strikers and midfielders when we have much more obvious issues…

Shane Duffy is on a plane (though possibly just to a pre season training camp)

Shane Duffy’s brother just posted a Celtic crest on instagram.

In for Aaron Hickey too according to The Daily Telegraph’s Scottish football chap. Barry Douglas still getting mentioned in some quarters. Bolingoli will be turfed out, I imagine, so someone needed to compete with Taylor.

Really shows the draw of Celtic if they beat off the CL holders for a highly rated young prospect.
