I see Sam Byram's reportedly available for transfer from West Ham according to Sky Sports News. Very highly rated before his move when he was at Leeds and could be a decent solution to getting a long-term replacement for Lustig. |

Yup, you were "spot on". I bet he's glad he doesn't have to trek round South America for those two games. |

Interesting.... Worth a look, decent young player with plenty of potential. |

Ok - granted Christie is in there. I don't know much about him to be fair - how best would he be described as a player? Attacking central mid that frequently breaks the defensive line? Attacking central mid with exceptional vision to provide a killer defence breaking pass? Winger type capable of beating a man? A mix of all of these? Or what? Of course the other assumption I'm making is that Armstrong won't be around. So from having as options: Sinclair - Predictable - modern pacy winger/inside forward with few tricks to beat a man. Works best running into space, rather than creating space for himself by beating his man. Armstrong - Predictable - box to box central mid - with an emphasis on being an additional central attacker when required - rather than a traditional wide player. Not really a defensive lock picker - but effective if the correct supply is available. Roberts - Unpredictable - traditional mazy winger type with skills to beat players in one vs one/one vs two situation - not especially pacy - but able to work in tight spaces well and can create space for himself to finish or serve killer passes. Forrest - Semi-predictable - modern pacy winger/inside forward - again works best running into space - but also makes very intelligent runs which enable him to create his own finishing opportunities. Less effective against stuffy defences where space can be limited. Musonda - non event. McGregor - Predictable - Flexible box to box mid with good interlinking between defence and attack, and moving ball on - but not hugely creative in final third. Again decent finisher if chance is available. Rogic - Unpredictable - Effective mid in opposition half - adept at making chances for himself and others - unpredictable. We go to: Sinclair -Predictable Forrest - Semi-predictable Christie - dunno (but seems quite predictable based on what I've seen) Morgan - dunno - but maybe a wee bit unpredictable - haven't seen enough - but is a huge unknown - and from what I've seen isn't very pacy. Rogic - Unpredictable. So - what I'm saying here is that yeah - we may have the numbers (though at various points in last 2 years, Forrest, Sinclair and Rogic have all been out for some periods of injury), but in the event of Rogic and Forrest being injured at the same time, where's the creativity and invention in the final 3rd? The big issue we've had in the season gone seems to be a lack of goals - goals can come from many sources - but being too predictable in approach seems to hamper your chances - and I don't think it's mere coincidence that long spells of injury to both Rogic and Roberts has hampered our ability to create and take chances. So though we might have the numbers to cope with injuries to Forrest and Rogic - do we have the creativity to cope? Probably - but I'd rather have that other lock picker in reserve. For me, at the top end of the league - these are the guys that really make the difference between winning and not winning leagues - assuming the rest of the team are able to provide the foundations defensively. Good defences ensure you don't lose games. Good attacks win you games. Imho good defences with very good attacks wins you leagues, playing the Celtic way. How high should this type of players feature in a list of priorities? Well given that Rogic has a world cup to go to, it may be a little tricky to work out how available (or effective) he'll be when he returns. And given that Christie will likely not be a revelation, and that Morgan doesn't currently seem to be a world-beater - maybe this should be quite a high priority. |

Agree, Losing Roberts and Musonda as we have, we need to have someone else who can unlock a deep lying defence. |

Jonathan Bamba is someone we should be looking at, especially with our connections in France. |

Well, it's a fairly decent one I'd say. Beats the old Lee Tomlin or Yann Kermogant linkage. Edited by Pussyfoot, 23 May 2018, 06:25 PM.

This has us in for Reo Griffths of Spurs..... http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/05/23/do-celtic-would-overshadow-odsonne-edouard-deal-by-landing-totte/ I guess with the law of averages, it was inevitable that one of Leigh's kids would be pulling in the hoops...... |

He looks a good prospect, though a long way to go yet. We should be looking to picking up the best home grown prospects, providing we can find space for them in the squad. |
