The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[JimStynes]

Edouard has dropped about 20million off his price tag ffs. What would you have wanted for him last season and what would you take for him now? £30m last season and maybe take £15m now?

[bannside]

Peter will instruct Lenny to play Eduoard, simply because if he is trying to offload him for even £10m, no club will want him if he cant get game time at struggling Celtic. Classic Chicken v Egg situation at play. And of course Peters annual bonus will be riding on it!

It's a major problem if we have a manager who selects the team on the CEO's say so. A proper manager would tell a suit to get to f**k when it comes to selection choices.

Rangers have plenty of players now that they can sell for decent money and then there money problems will have disappeared.

[Main Street]

the transfer market is a changed place now since clubs have no match day income.
Ed's marketability rose after his delicious Panenka penalty in the cup final, now funnily enough  Pirlo's head has been turned towards him and probably Rodgers is still interested.

Sevco threw all their eggs into one basket for this year to stop the 10 and it may well have worked for them, big favourites to win the league and rightly so. What is the bigger picture here though?. They need £25m to finish off next year, they are already so far in debt it's not even funny. It's as if the liquidation didn't happen...No lessons learned there, at what price will this season be for them long term?
I don't believe they have top players worth a fortune to sell TBH, they have one or two that will go for a decent few million but not enough for them to get the cigars out. Celtic have a few to sell on but at this min in time they're not playing that well but that could change. Rangers are 1/8 and Celtic are 9/2 to win Premiership. That is insane odds. If Celtic were to win at Ibrox and win their games in hand there'd only be 4pts in it...WOW. To be fair if Rangers win on Jan 2nd PP will pay out.

Celtic don't look, at this point, nor in the past 2 months, looked like catching Rangers.  People keep saying Celtic have the better players/squad but that's waffle.

The big problem, in the New Year, could be Covid again.

Come the end of Jan, if there's another lockdown, all leagues  and games etc. could be finished, similiar to last season.

With thd Gers so far in front now and probably be a 8/9 point advantage (never mind goal difference) for the forseeable.

Scotland will be entering a lockdown of sorts on midnight of the 25th, but even if football games are postponed at some stage, I  very much doubt that a league would be decided when there plenty of points to be played for. Celtic were already asterix free champions when awarded the 2019/20 title. Illdecide's argument for some optimism is not pure fantasy with Griffiths and Thompson  returning, the Turnbull effect, Eddy showing some signs  and who knows what else might happen,  Frimpong might just reduce his ratio of accurate final ball  from 1/50 to 1/10.  But it all has to start with a win over Rangers.

But, just because some guy on the Internet says it doesn't mean it's true.

It's hard to believe that providing we win tomorrow and midweek next Sat game at Rangers is the defining game of the season. A draw is as good as a win for them but it'll be interesting to see how they approach the game...do they go all out attack and try to beat us and put the title to bed or do the be more conservative and pop us off when the time is right knowing it's Celtic who have to come out and attack. Will NL play two up top? Will he go with Griff and Eddie? Will he play Brown over Soro for experience? Will he play three centre halves (Duffy, Ajer & Jullien) and have Laxalt and Frimpong as two wingbacks? If he goes 442 will he play Ajer at RB? Feck there are so many scenarios but one thing is for sure if we're beaten it'll be the final nail in the coffin. If we win and get our games in hand played and the gap is low will the shit themselves like previous seasons? We'll know on Sat afternoon for sure...a draw will just prolong the inevitable, we're only half way thru the season

The Lennon Loyal out again in force.

[marty34]

Celtic would needto beat Hamilton by 7-0 tomorrow to make any sort of statement for the next few weeks.

Hamilton are down about 9 players and currently have a very limited squad.

Celtic have a great chance to get their score difference back on track.  All out attack from the start.

I'd like to see Lennon gone. I'm certainly not a Lennon loyal but it just goes to show your mindset in this

[bennydorano]

It's idiotic, if you're not with us you're against us type mentality. Like anything an internet gobshite says makes any difference in the grand scheme of things - a GAA discussion board at that.

I see the game is on Sky1
