I'd much rather we got someone else in but if Jozo stays then we've no room for another CB really.

Following BR's rule of 2X for each position:

Jozo, Boyata, Hendry, Ajer (Bitton and Lustig as emergency cover)

Compper looks surplus to requirements which is strange as he hasn't really been given a chance and is not a young guy

A poster on the transfer thread has heard BR still see's Compper as being a part of the squad, makes his lack of appearances seem really strange.

Can we get a transfer thread going???

Just wanted to test the water to see what we think about James Mclean signing?

Personally would take him....think with Paddy going, Sinclair nowhere near any decent form (and potentially leaving) - he would be a good shout to sign?

wages I hear 30-35k per week for him but unsure how WBA would be with a fee?

Leaves Jamesy, Mikey Johnson, Lewis Morgan on wings? Bit short on flanks IMO

For me I'd do a ruthless clean out. We need to build and no time to mess about.

Out the door:
De Vries - Not good enough
Lustig - Away to WC and past his best for Europe.
Sviatchenko - Manager doesn't fancy him
Simunovic - Absolute joker
Boyata - I think he's improved but still a bombscare. Think he'd improve with another quality CB.
Allan - Not good enough
Christie- good wee player, won't make it at Celtic
Bitton - good servant. Best to move on
Ciftci- pure pish
Gamboa- Heard if he plays another game we need to pay a wedge. Ultimately not good enough.
Compper - I assume similar here.
Hayes - Nice lad, not Celtic class. Would rather see a younger squad player.


Promote: Mikey Johnston and Ralston to first team. (Only as back up squad players for now)

Buy:

QUALITY Right back to play in Europe
2 solid Center halves. Let Ajer and Hendry play as backups.
Back up project left back.
Possibly a RW paddy replacement but I'd probably use the spot to give gametime to other players.

If Jozo can get his head in it then he's by far and away our most talented centre half.

Easy. He's got more to his game than your Mjallbys and your Baldes. If only he had the personality of those. Berkovic was better than Lennon, but it means nothing without the application!

Jozo got “ more to his game than Mjallby”?

Away and gie’s peace. :nono:


As for comparing Lennon and Berkovic.....in what universe were they remotely similar?

I honestly don't think we'll be getting many new players in, signing up a long term squad looks the way: Bain, Boyata, Ajer, Hendry, KT, NtCham, Rogic, Edouard, McGregor - Forrest & possibly Griffiths to follow (assuming Boyata & Edouard sign up).

I guess we'll want Armstrong too, but need to wait & see.

I reckon Sinclair, Jozo, Moussa, Gamboa, DDV, Sviachenko, Allan & Ciftci will go - most won't really notice that they have - apart from Moussa.

Leaves:


----------Edouard

McGregor--Rogic--Forrest

-----NtCham----Brown

KT----Ajer----Boyata---?

----------Gordon



-----------Griffiths

Morgan---Christie---Hayes

--------Eboue---Bitton

Miller--Compper--Lustig--Ralston

------------Bain


If we can sell that many players (probably won't though), along with Paddy & Musonda leaving - we'll save a lot on wages & bring in some cash from sales + VVD money.
We should have plenty to buy 3 very good players: RB, CB, LW

I think signing up so many players for the long term is the right way for us to go & a total mirror to Sevco, get a good pre-season & we'll be flying - shame about Moussa leaving though, I'd love him to stay.

I'd keep Sinclair and Jozo and look to sell Miller, Ralston and Christie. Possibly harsh on Ralston, but if we're going to upgrade on Lustig then he has no chance of breaking through.

I like the look of Kouassi, but what's the point in keeping him if he's not getting game time? Likewise with Compper.

He's definitely not what we need.

Edouard will fill that void.

With Rogic, Lustig & Boyata at the WC & the qualifiers starting soon, I'm wondering (already) what the team will look like.
Probably a 3-4-3 unless Ralston plays.

Hoping Moussa plays in these games, but defense will look shaky & include KT at CB or Hendry - good Lord.

Please Celtic no-more floofing about, last season we played these games with no striker, now we're running out of time to get in defenders.

Unless we sign a ready made & up to speed player, it'll be going with what we have - minus 3 starters who are at the WC.


----------Dembele
---McGregor-----Edouard

KT---Ntcham---Broony--Forrest

-----Ajer---Jozo---Hendry

-------------Gordon


We honestly HAVE to get the defence sorted, even with Boyata & Lustig back for the later qualifiers, it's not great & they could easily be injured at the WC.

Anyway, Aye - BORED!!

Just trying to get this clear in my head amid all the speculation. For the opening qualifier it's looking like Rogic, Boyata and Lustig will not be available, so our line up is likely to be something like -


------------------Gordon--------------

Compper(?!) Ajer ---- Jozo Tierney

-----------Brown --- Ntcham----------

Forrest----------McGregor--------Edouard

-----------------Dembele--------------


Potential subs

Griffiths
Sinclair
Bain
Morgan
Bitton
Kouassi
Hayes
Johnson
Gamboa
Miller
Hendry
Allan
Christie


That look about right? :ponder:

It certainly looks a bit worrying - especially that bench - if we are looking likely to lose Boyata, Lustig is seen as on his last legs and that KT could potentially be away. :twitch:

The bench is now considerably weaker without Roberts and Armstrong.

EDIT: Odubajo could make RB potentially - and i'm certain i've missed a few obvious names
