The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[sid waddell]

Under a new manager I'd be looking to build the base of the team on:

-----------------------------Barkas

New------------Jullien---------------------Ajer**---------------New

-------------------Soro---------------McGregor

New------------------------Turnbull--------------------New

-----------------------------Edouard**

We have the ability to shed 100k+ off the wage bill by moving on Brown, Duffy, Eloyonoussi, Laxalt and Kenny

We should be putting those savings into doing all we can to keep hold of Ajer and Edouard. Make them serious offers to stay,  make them offers that represent their worth and see what happens

Get a big name manager in and convince them of the project

If we keep Edouard and Ajer, we then need to spend about £20m on top of anything incoming

If the options are taken up on Ntcham, Hendry, Bayo and Shved we could have close to £10m there

I'd listen to offers on the following players - Christie, Rogic, Griffiths, Ajeti, Taylor, Bolingoli - some of those guys could have a future under a fresh start but if a decent offer came in I'd accept

I think Ajeti is the worst bit of transfer business Celtic have done since Rafael Scheidt, the guy is a fat mess, he looks like a pub footballer and I think we should punt him at the first opportunity

I'd send Klimala out on loan

If Ajer and Edouard leave this summer then Celtic realistically need to be spending about £60m on players this summer to rebuild this team

That is certainly feasible with a much reduced wage bill from all the departures, debt free and £20m cash reserves and a billionaire owner but highly unlikely because of the biscuit tin mentality and posters on here who defend the biscuit tin mentality at all costs

Agreed.

Barkas will be gone in the summer. He's a keeper who doesn't make saves, isn't good with crosses and doesn't inspire confidence with the ball at his feet. When he was in the team he was pathetic, people are only talking about him again because bain and hazard have made mistakes also.

Edouard booked for being scythed down in the box.

Not styled down, should have shot chanced his arm. Minimum contact, too many of these are given for once Collum got it right. He had a decent game for a change.

Nonsense. It was a clear penalty. A decent game???

Green tinted specs?

The annoyance with the decision is the inconsistency. The same ref, whose religion and job seem to be fair game for discussion in Scotland, gave Aberdeen a penalty against Celtic in similar circumstances. The challenge was reckless and Edouard was only guilty of being too agile. That scenario is a penalty in majority of matches elsewhere.

I accept that we have seen penalties given for less, Harry Kane yesterday for example. However Edouard should have shot and would in all likelihood scored, it looks very like he lost control and decided to go down. Collum is not a good Ref but these type of inconsistent decisions are not unique to Scotland. On balance I thought he had a reasonable match. He let a lot go Bothe ways and gave Brown a Loy of leeway before booking him. The bottom line is, had that Celtic team had any conviction they would have won easily and the penalty decision right or wrong would have been forgotten. In the current game (soccer) penalties are been given too easily, but that's another story.

I don't think so, I just think it was a penalty. As for Collum, I don't think he had a good game at all and I wouldn't be alone in thinking that

[Angelo]

Collum is an embarrassment. He can't wait to go out and make a big decision against Celtic. Straight away he was over to give a decision against Edouard. It's nothing new, you might remember he giddily awarded a penalty to Aberdeen against Celtic this season in much more dubious circumstances.

The same guy gave a penalty to Rangers in an Old Firm game when he had his back to play and it was a dive.

There was this one last year where he awarded one against Roma in the Europa League in utterly farcical circumstances.

The guy should not be let near a big game.

Ed hopped over the dangling leg and fell to the floor, no contact. Could he not have allowed the contact to happen, give a loud roar of pain while falling and exclaim Swine Hun!!

I see a Celtic fan was murdered after the game on Sunday

I see a Celtic fan was murdered after the game on Sunday

By a Rangers fan?

[tonto1888]

By 4 people who came out of a block of flats decked out in rangers flags. It seems like it. People on twitter are sure they were rangers fans.

[Targetman]

One of them was a woman, slit his throat with a machete

Pure madness... hopefully they'll get picked up soon

[John Egans left boot]

Interesting case ongoing in Glasgow's Employment Tribunal. The apple never falls far from the tree and all that.

Kind of ironic after the week the club has had. But let due process play out especially the claimants allegations today/tomorrow.

Maybe Glen Kamara has more internal people to worry about than those in Prague... Maybe Goldson can despise those inside his own club....
