Celtic Transfer Window Summer 2021

I donā€™t have an issue with signings like Bayo, Shved and Klimala.

We just had a Neanderthal manager who didnā€™t give them a chance.

These project players have generally been a waste of time. Someone like Ajer clearly had a lot of potential as he had played pretty much a season of top flight football at 17 but the other guys who have played a handful of games at lower league just donā€™t really inspire any hope.

Agree with both of you @flattythehurdler & @flattythehurdler. Think thereā€™s a difference between the likes of Ajer, Bayo, Shved etc that have shown promise in other top flight leagues and the raft of obscure lads plucked from youth team set ups in lower league English clubs where itā€™s obvious theyā€™ll never feature.

Christie set to leave for about Ā£1m according to reports.

Utterly shambolic.

Oxford defender Rob Atkinson linked now.

League One Hammer Throwers seems to be our level this summer.

Depressing.

Things could always be worse I guess, Jon Joe Kenny being linked with Arsenal this morning :laughing:

Celtic taking up the 1-year extension option on Ralstonā€™s expiring contract according to reports this morning. Grim. Heā€™s shite. Iā€™m guessing itā€™s just a case of padding out squad numbers with so many other departures. But still.

Mad stuff.

I doubt heā€™s even played 20 competitive games and canā€™t be that far off a testimonial as mad as it sounds

Someone like Benkovic would surely be a great target for Celtic now.

I saw enough of him in his first term to see heā€™s a decent defender. Heā€™s had his injury problems and seems to have had a few poor loan spells but is a good age (23) to get it all together.

He has two years left on his deal so Iā€™d Celtic could potentially get him for Ā£5m or under. I think heā€™d be worth that risk.

Iā€™d be very worried about him. He wasnā€™t injured in Belgium. He just couldnā€™t get off the bench in a league where Jack Hendry starred at centre back. Thatā€™s after Cardiff couldnā€™t send him back quick enough after his solitary appearance.

A gamble on a free but spending Ā£5m on an injury prone centre back who has been a disaster on his last two moves would be foolish IMO.

Some journalist has said Celtic have made a bid for 24 year old French right back Valentin Rosier who plays for Sporting Lisbon.

Heā€™s valued at around ā‚¬7m

We need a couple of part time bricklayers and a nightclub doorman from league one in quick. A cultured Gallic ennui wonā€™t cut it at Hamilton on a wet Thursday night.

Linked today with

Dominique Heintz, a 27 year old German centre back with Freiburg. My extensive research tells me Kicker had him rated as Freiburgā€™s second best defender in 2019/20.

Riccieli, a 22 year old Brazilian centre back playing in Portugal with Famalicao.

Toulouse look to be taking up their option on Bayo too.

Cameron Carter-Vickers linked on loan

Good news

For fuck sake.

A nobody from Spuds on loan.

Nothing has changed.

Ryan Gauld linked on a free transfer. Had a good season in Portugal last year but his career trajectory is hardly inspiring.

9th top scorer in Portugal last season and 6th highest in asssits.

I reckon heā€™s worth a punt on a free.
