I think we need a KDS whelm-ometer. So we can gauge where we're at with each signing and/or rumour.

From what I remember we had one, then Tommy Gravesen snapped the needle, and after that nobody saw much value in fixing it.

I like it. Feel like we should take a punt on 1 or 2 of these types of players every year.

Good investment. If he turns out great we've got a good player on the cheap , if not i'm sure we'll recoup the outlay. We have a lot of midfielders , loan him to Hibs until Jan 2019 , it will let him get used to the SPL .

I agree with this.
However, playing devils advocate here.... how many of these pick ups have actually worked out?
Not the likes of buying Armstrong or Hartley, but purchasing a youngster from another Scottish club for a small fee.

Tony Watt probably the most high profile of these pick ups? Rest seem to fade away (Unless I'm too hung over to remember).

Note: I'm not saying just because there isn't a high success rate of doing this we shouldn't.

Never seen the boy playing but if Brendan rates him then that’s good enough for me!
Still need someone to help out and eventually take Scott Brown’s place.

Seen quite a bit of St Mirren over the past year or so. Morgan is a talent.

BFDJ will be spewing. For some reason he always goes to midweek St Mirren games and raves about this boy after every visit.

Get it right up yi.

Personally I know nothing about him but I very much doubt he is going to contribute to improving us in Europe, which is were our funds should be spent.

Put this in the transfer window thread and reposting it here

My mate is a St.Mirren season ticket holder, so when im not at parkhead or working i go to some games with him. Morgans first full season was last year, swept PoY awards cause he was the only guy who performed even with alex rae as manager. Started this season on fire, like motm for the first 8/9 games. Since international break in oct hes not been as strong, although wouldn't be surprised if thats when rodgers showed his interest and hes let that get to him.

Pros: Very quick over 10yards, 2 footed (hits corners or long range shots with either), good strike on him, very good dribbler and close control. Strong for a wee guy.

Cons: shooting can vary widely in quality, apparently been poor since oct/nov (though i think this is do with speculation), can choose the wrong option a lot of the time.

From what ive seen/heard more potential than Kenny Mclean or John Mcginn when they came out of st.mirren, so defo worth the punt, but not the finished article.

Also apparently Brendan and Jack Ross have a close personal relationship which is probably why hes getting loaned back and talk of liam henderson going the other way (dont think that will or should happen)

So the lad is defo a center midfield type? No chance he could play out on the wing?

I recall after Scotland's qualifying campaign Brendan mentioned in an interview that he thought there was some genuine talent in Scotland that just needed nurtured through, or something to that affect. Lewis Morgan was one he name dropped, which I found surprising at the time given it's a youngster an entire division down, but good on him for keeping tabs on this type of player.

I'm happy with this deal, I don't know much about the Lewis Morgan, but it's low risk, I hope he ends his season well with St Mirren and by the sounds of things he seems to have the graft needed to work hard when he arrives here properly.

When we played St Mirren in the Scottish Cup last season I checked the Celtic live app at the game to see who the wee guy in midfield for St Mirren was. Thought he looked outstanding. Haven’t seem him since right enough but he looked a real talent that day.

I remember Brendan causing consternation in the SMSM after that game when he said St Mirren had been the best Scottish team Celtic had played that season.

Radio Scotland saying deal should complete in a day or two but loanback may be as long as 18 months if St Mirren secure promotion this season
