The huns have developed a real dislike for Lustig, it's brilliant. Indeed there was much confusion in their midst during this game as some not sure whether they wanted Sweden to go out because Lustig would be going to the World Cup, or Italy due to it being a Catholic country. Anyway, he's a great servant to Celtic and it will be good to have as many Celts at the World Cup as possible. Providing they all come back in one piece I bet the majority of them cgaf either way.

Time will tell.
I go back and forth on it admittedly. I think we've positions to address of much more need than replacing our right back, particularly a fully fit Lustig. I think GK and RB are the 2 areas we need to strengthen in the summer, CB in January. Lustig will hopefully be here for years to come but looking at the squad RB is the most obvious area when we can improve, a keeper and RB for around 5 million each would improve the team massively.

got to admire your optimism.
£5million for anyone is unlikely.

I bet the majority of them cgaf either way. I'm only going by the animals on FF.
I don't come into contact with huns in my life at all.

If you look at the squad, there's a lot of quality and competition, 2 or 3 signings for around that price isn't beyond us amd its realistically what it will take to improve what we already have, we really haven't spent that much since BR signed. If he gets the backing he deserves then those 2 or 3 signings will take us to another level.
I think the board are prepared to push the boat out, we would have broken our transfer record if Roberts was available on a permanent deal in the summer.

We'll sign the Dundee goalie. I hope not. He's absolutely howling.

Dembele will be very very tough to replace. I don't think it will be that hard to find a better RB than Lustig if we're prepared to spend big, I'd be happy enough to have him as a back up defender as part of a back 3 or back 4.
It's been said 100 times in the past 2 windows but we need to strengthen from a position of strength, and as good as Lustig is we should be aiming for better.

It's been said 100 times in the past 2 windows but we need to strengthen from a position of strength, and as good as Lustig is we should be aiming for better. The problem is the the financial gap is getting bigger every season. What will be the price of a better RB than Lustig in the current/future market? City signed an English RB (not German, Italian or Spanish) for well over £40M. So what will £5M get us? Our best hope is developing another KT or picking up a young rough diamond that Brendan can polish, but what are the chances? Getting a ready for the first team RB better than Lustig may be beyond our affordability.

Neither Kouassi or Ntcham replace what Armstrong gives you. Nor does McGregor or Rogic. Armstrong will be a big loss when he goes he needs replacing, the team get's very slow when he's not in it. Brown will be 33, Gordon needs replaced, we've 3 injury prone Centre halves one of whom it's clear the manager doesn't fancy.
With Ralston and Gamboa and Lustig about I think the RB is going to a good bit down on the list of priorities. If anything, we could do with a left back before him also.
That's not to say how we're going to attempt to replace Moussa. That's going to be a massive blow.
There's plenty to be thinking about, Lustig not only is fairly dependable in Europe and Domestically, he's also an integral member of the squad and gives a young side experience at the the top level.
If Celtic are spending big - I hope it's for a game changer. Not a right back.

He’s still developing and has hardly cemented his place in our starting 11 let alone Man City’s. I’m not sure he’s even done enough to attract interest from any other EPL team - ones that would be attractive to him, at least.
Him and KT on a 6 year contract each.

The Dembele money will give us plenty to sign game changers, there should already be enough money to spend big on a keeper, RB and CB who can maybe cover KT.
No neither MF are like for like replacements for Armstrong but we've too many MF's atm. If we bring in another box to box MF of Armstrongs ability then great but I'd be looking to send Eboue out on loan.
Lustig's a big character and a good player, I'm not suggesting binning him, I hope he's here for 10IAR but I think we can do better. He'd still get plenty of games even if we bring in a new RB and CB.
