I thought he looked pretty decent when he was on loan at West Ham in 2015. He has basically been injured since so would be huge risk. |

We've already got Bain on a free, that's good work from the Club & still with 2 games to go. We're working on Edouard & I fully expect him to sign, preferably before the end of the season - lets say £7m as it'll not be more than that & probably less (IMO). I think Sinclair, Dembele, Jozo & Armstrong will go from the 1st team squad - bringing in £30m, probably more. Erik, Ciftci & Allan will go for £1m combined if lucky. Non starters like Gamboa, DdV, Compper will probably get a free. Christie, Hayes, Morgan, Miller, Ralston & Kouassi have a fair bit to do I'd imagine if they want to break into the team. Leaves: Gordon, Bain. KT, Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Hendry Brown, McGregor, NtCham, Forrest, Rogic, Bitton Griffith, Edouard So, a fair bit of work to do if we're to progress on the invincible season. VvD money to add at about £10m, so ideally have about £30m from player sales expected, not that we'll spend that. Severely lacking at FB, CB & #10 especially if both Armstrong & Rogic were to leave, I'd guess Rogic might sign another year like Armstrong did. We've got an awful lot of work to do in the transfer market & no-one looking ready to step up from the reserves, but NtCham & Edouard give me hope that we're looking in the right areas for £5/7m. What worries me, is the Compper, Hendry, Gamboa, Hayes type signings at £1/2m. Time for Congerton & Lawell to earn their dough, I think Peter will get Edouard which is a good start - hopefully a sign of things to come & rumours of questions being asked of the recruitment team too. I think we'll actually buy 1st team players for decent money, around 3 players & really make a statement to everyone - no more floofing about. |

I've admired him especially since and because of that tie. He's a very good footballer who happens to be a sneaky carrot. Nothing wrong with that. |

Yeah, I hate the guy because of those games but I have to admit that I'd probably love him if he played for us

Kouassi is a bit strange. Apparently trains really well and has looked promising when he has game time. Lack of game time is a bit strange. We definitely need cover at both FB positions. BR has to decide if Ralston is going to make grade. I wonder if he views Hayes as cover for KT. |

I just can't see all of those players leaving. Not early doors anyway. Any significant comings and goings will be long and drawn out affairs, just like most of blah blah blah |

The moment he threw Hooper into the net is among my angrier moments at Celtic Park. I'd just about had a meltdown that night at every corner where we should have had a penalty. |

What 4 players from the 1st team squad? After Rodgers' revolving door comment? Armstrong took forever to sign a 1year extension, Jozo looks frozen out & we've seen him already almost leave the Club only to fail a medical, Dembele has done 2 years & we're in talks to sign his replacement right now, Sinclair is very off form, out of sorts & dropped from his starting place. I'd say that's pretty likely & yes drawn out, considering we'll have already been working on them for a good while. I'd expect some early activity, as seen with Bain & Edouard. ...blah, blah, blah. |

Well, teams have to want to buy them/get the best deal. Hopefully you're right that players/agents have already been making moves to leave the club, I just don't see it myself. I can imagine it becomes a bit tougher finding a deal that suits everyone involved when you haven't been playing much or are injured. January was when Rodgers said "revolving door" and it didn't turn out that way. Again, as much as I want most of the players you listed gone, I don't see it happening quickly. Hope I'm wrong though. The "blah blah blah" was me stopping myself from continuing my moaning post. |

Cool, I'm pretty much the same as you - posting long posts in an attempt to convince myself that we'll get things done in time. I'm already freaking out about the CL qualifiers, but I'm trying to be optimistic. I think we will see movement though, even though it didn't turn out that way in January - I hope we've kept on the case. Edouard & Bain give me reason to be hopeful HH |

Might no be the most glamorous signing but wouldnt mind mulumbu coming in. gives brown the time off in some of the lesser games and if you shift bitton brings in transfer fee and takes a decent wage off the table. finding a buyer would probably scupper that though |

If we want to win 10 in a row, this summer's dealings will decide it. Looking like we are going to lose a fair amount of quality players. We need them to be replaced with the same or better. Losing Roberts, Armstrong ,Rogic and Dembele and possibly shifting Boyata, Jozo Sviatchenko and already needing replacements for Lustig another left back. Massive massive summer. |

Yip. Brendan has largely been using whats left over from Ronny's squad, due to his signings being shampooe in the main. We need at least 5 players ready to be going straight into the first team this summer. Huge few months ahead and I'd like to hope we already have our targets lined up. Who am I kidding, we'll be sitting here on 31st August bashing F5 in the hope of Roberts coming back on loan

Really really hope we don’t have to replace Rogic. Don’t think we’ll manage it for years. |

What's the script with Forrest's contract? From what I understand he's in the same situation Armstrong was last summer? Would like to think we've learned from that mess. |
