The chat about McGinn is irritating he is no where near the level ntcham is currently and he’s only going to get better.
Different player to Ntcham so I wouldn't compare the two. He's more like Brown. Is McGinn a better player now than Brown was at the same age?
I know a few Hibs fans and all of them think, while McGinn is a decent player, Broony was a much better player at the same age.

Is Lewis Morgan still at St Mirren, or is he training with Celtic full time now that the Buddies won their promotion?

Slightly surprised by that - I would've expected them to overstate McGinn's abilities just because he's their player at the minute. Not to claim that he's as good as Brown (now or then) but I think we underestimate McGinn

Feels like we will have a lot of work to do in the Summer. We could lose Roberts, Rogic, Dembele, Armstrong, Edouard, & Simunovic with no clear replacements for any of them (though maybe christie in for armstrong). And we're relying a lot on Brown, Lustig and Tierney - a long term injury at any of those positions and we are in serious trouble.
Even if they all left we will have two teams that would walk the league... We would need to replace the ones that left, but rather 2-3 than player for player, no need to bring in 6 new players to add up numbers

---------Gordon------------
Lustig-Hendry-Ajer-Tierney
Brown-Ntcham-McGregor
Forrest-----------Sinclair
--------Griffiths----------

----------de Vries
Ralston-Boyata-Sviatchenko-Hayes
Kouassie-Bitton
Morgan-Christie-Musonda
----------Aitchison


Reserves...

Hazard
Gamboa-X-X-Miller
Henderson-Regan Hendry-Hill
Johnston---------------Benyu-
Ciftci
the first lineup is good but IMO the 2nd one is really lacking.

I did forget about Lewis Morgan but I'm not convinced Sviatchenko will be here or that Ralston/Johnston/Aitchison are ready, and Hayes is not a LB at all. Oh, and henderson's gone to Bari permanently (where apparently he's played pretty well).

I'd be absolutely gutted if that was the lineup we deemed 1st after the summer.

Luckily it wont be anything like that.

That 1st line up would suggest we aren't buying anyone and letting our game changers leave :(

as I said, even if the named players left without us bringing in anyone, we would have 2 teams to would win the league

wouldn't expect that all of the left and that we didn't bring in new players

But would rather that we brought in 2-3 quality players instead of replacing the players one for one

I've not mentioned how highly (or otherwise) I rate him, but thanks for the mind-reading session :thumbsup:

Right back and central defender essential this summer.

Really don't like the thought of losing Dembele,Rogic,Armstrong & Roberts.

a right back is essential , but i would put getting Tam to stay and at least trying to get Paddy as high as anything else.

Nowhere near it.

We'll have Ntcham for one more season at most. We need to think about getting some players in for the long haul.
So we should sign inferior players because they'll stay for ages?

Bizarre mindset.

You can have Griffiths and McGinn for years and Ntcham and Dembele for that 2 year cycle we talk about.

I'm not saying I want us to sign McGinn though, on performances against us aye, overall no.
