Even Celtic with our famous ability for foot-shooting, are not going to sell our entire defence. But there will almost certainly be a lot of moves. Dembele has done 2 years, he might fancy a big English move, Roberts loan is up, we're back to where we were last season with Armstrong, either he signs a long term deal or he's got to go. I don't think all the CBs will go, but at least one of Sviatchenko, Simunovic and Boyata will probably leave. Rogic is vaguely similar to Armstrong, get him to sign a good deal, or he'll need to be sold because we can't afford to have too many players running down contracts to leave for free. It might be time for Rodgers to start building his second Celtic team unless he can convince almost all of these players to stay and wants them all to stay. |

He bought into the hype the English media gave him. He’s still got friends looking out for him now. After City’s first on Sunday the camera went to him and Neville said Hart would have saved it, replays showed it took an massive deflection. He’s got terrible concentration too so he’d be awful for us anyway. |

Doesnt make sense for me to take 18 year old on loan for one year. Minimum would be two year or forget it. Otherwise I think we would be just training him up for Liverpool. |

Anyone think Roberts is worth another punt? Hasn't featured this season for various reasons & would cost a fair bit. Can he play the #10 role, if Rogic is to go? If Rogic, Armstrong & Roberts are to leave, then a #10 really rivals a RB & CB as our must buy position. That's 3 must have replacement 1st team starters, we really seldom do that here at Celtic, hoping that conveyor belt gets lubed up... |

roberts is definitely worth a punt - we know he can do it as for our defence - we know boyata cannot do it in europe, we know that jozo disappears sometimes before the match, hendry is a country mile off it (jeez he was poor at 5-0 up on sunday) and ajer is ridiculously one footed which repeatedly gets him into bother when attempting to tackle, KT needs support and we need a replacement/back up for lustig. Oh and Gordon gives his defence and all of us the fear in europe with his passing and decision making - apart from that we are well placed for the qualifiers our midfield and strike force should be relatively simple by comparison |

Roberts and Eddie would be the two i'd 100% want signed in terms of attacking areas. Defensively it's a whole different issue. If both Jozo and Boyata go, I'd be willing to go for Denayer as he's already shown he can play in this league comfortably and would slot in without much trouble which I think would be really useful. Yes, it's building a whole new defence, but at least he knows a few of the players, knows the club and understands the level and demand. After that, another experienced CB would be imperative. And a good RB. In Midfield I think we are pretty well recourced just now. Said it yesterday, Roberts, Rogic and Eddie all signed up early doors would be ideal and then all eyes should then be on the defensive rebuild. KT and Ajer should be the only two defenders currently at the club to remain here after summer IMO. Edited by Luca, 1 May 2018, 10:36 AM.

Roberts will always be worth a punt. He's a brilliant talent. I would be surprised if he wanted to sign, though. At his age he needs regular game-time if he's to reach his potential and he isn't getting that here. A keeper and a right back that are both ready to walk right into the starting 11 are absolute necessities in the summer. |

He'll get it if Sinclair is for the off. EDIT: We should be using the success of Moussa, Eddie and Ntcham to tap into more French players. Then we can have a French day and take ownership of Red, White and Blue, leading to more Hun meltdown

I really want us to be very pro-active, doing our work quickly. The talk of conveyor belts in January wasn't met, so I hope we've used that 6 months to really think about things. Jozo & Sinclair have dropped off significantly in terms of appearances, especially as both are fit - I'd really expect us to be working behind the scenes to have them gone & replaced quickly - not easy though. Gamboa is another, but he's never really played anyway (as with Compper...) Defence is our priority as far as I can see in Europe, CL qualification is a must. 2 previous CL cheques cashed & VVD money + whatever we get from sales (Armstrong, Moussa, Rogic, Jozo, Boyata, Sinclair). Maybe it'll actually be a conveyor belt this time, I just hope it doesn't eff up CL qualifiers. |

I saw a tweet the other day from some french sports journo suggesting Celtic as a great place for French talent to develop. I'm sure the scouts will have a few targets in mind. At this point I'd happily punt Sinclair and use his salary to fund Rogic and a deal for Paddy. |

Don’t know if this is where I should post this but I got onto my flight from Edinburgh to Oslo yesterday and Tosh Mckinley was sitting at the front of the plane. He works as a scout for us- there is only one game happening in Norway yesterday/rest of the week which was Stabæk V Lillestrøm. I don’t know if any of their players are on our level, but it would be the only reason he would be in Norway I would imagine. |

Based on nothing at all, except he plays for Stabaek and has 10 caps for the U21 side, i reckon its this guy |

Think stabaek's actually got a couple of highly rated young players. Definitely heard Vetlesen and Brynhildsen being mentioned as up an comers, and Hou Saether was a big prospect for rosenberg for a while (guess it didn't work out there for him though Rosenberg's midfield is pretty crowded). |
