Really?

Both have been on here for weeks.
Presumably he means the other one or two that aren't McGinn or Edouard. .
:thumbsup: Yip, got sucked in by the 3 or 4. Maybe pish, but a rumour all the same.

Don’t worry Remy, you still get the credit for Edouard, I wasn’t trying to take that away.

Gamboa played well against Scotland ( I know!) recently. Don't understand why he's not in the picture considering the alternatives to Lustig.
Don't think BR took too kindly to him playing in the Gold Cup for Costa Rica last summer right in the middle of the CL qualifiers.

From last October:

Quote:
 
“I decided to represent my country at the Gold Cup tournament this summer.

“Unfortunately, I think this has had career consequences for me at Celtic. Not doing pre-season with Celtic has proved to be very expensive for me.​

“There are decisions made by other people who pick the team and it is not in my hands.

“Apparently, playing at the Gold Cup was not taken in a good way at my club and I have had to wait to play again.”
And yet he played several times after apparently being frozen out.

From what I've seen he's not good enough. That said, I would have played him instead of Hendry at RB.

What do we need to improve the quality of the team/squad?

Looking likely Edouard is pretty much a 'done deal' -Very good business for a promising French talent...will improve further = Good addition.

Center back - I'd spend as much as we can afford on a transfer fee and wages (within reason) imo this is the areea we most need a genuine injection of quality (alongside right back)

Right back -as above

Attacking midfielder/right winger - a player like Lovro Majer...only 20 yrs old, contact with Nk Lokomotiva runs until June 2020 - would be affordable to us and won't be hard to agree personal terms. Probably capable of playing through the middle and either wing?

Left back cover for Tierney - difficult to get a player knowing they'll be second choice nearly every game..but sometimes KT needs a rest and also good to have cover if we want to play a back three, maybe a decent left sided centre back that can also play left side of a back three and possibly left back on occasion? (Ala Compper but actually plays a few games!)

Personaly I'd be happy with Edouard, a quality centre back, quality right back, attacking midfielder/winger..and cover for Tierney/left sided centre back.

surprised that we haven't been linked with Steven Caulker in this transfer window, I was certain that he would have been the first player linked

(haven't seen any other Dundee match beside their draw with us, so can't say how he has played for them)

Sounds like a great bit of business which would rile billy to the core and give him something else to rage about :)

:ffs: he's nearly 24 if he's no good enough now then don't bother wasting money signing him.

If we do sign McGinn there is no way in Hell he will be loaned out. Whole idea is ridiculous.

don't think there is room for him right now
I'm suggesting a loan back as Brown will start every game possible next season too - paired with one of Ntcham/Kouassi/maybe Armstrong......
It's the season after I'm thinking Broonys powers will start to wane :(

That's when McGinn would come in

What about a sub-loan arrangement?

Not so ridiculous now you're thinking... ;)

Pena blew his nose in to the zombie pantaloon. McGinn should take a dump in his Hibs socks and mail them to Rod Petrie.

This way even the harshest KDS critics will soon accept John.

So Celtic will just give Hibs £1.5m, let them have Scott Allan and keep their best player for another year and then see if they fancy actually using him? 😂

Does sound like something you’d do. MINI DECLANS.

That is a ridiculously stupid idea. One why would you pay 1.5m for someone who’s 24 to loan him out and secondly if you want to sign him next year let it be known and you could get him for free as he’s out of contact. Plus he isn’t close to being good enough for Celtic

I love your Impassioned response so I've broken it down..........

" That is a ridiculously stupid idea. " -- That's a genuine compliment for me, thanks.

" One why would you pay 1.5m for someone who’s 24 to loan him out? " -- He's 23, paying money for a player is the usual decorum - I've already stated in the post you quoted the reasons for loaning him out.

" secondly if you want to sign him next year let it be known you could get him for free as he’s out of contact" -- Nothing wrong with spreading our wealth among the SPFL , keeps it 'strong' - that fee could help Hibs regain McGeouch & Kamberi for next season

" Plus he isn’t close to being good enough for Celtic " -- after another seasons football I think he will :coelho:

Besides it doesn't matter what we think, by the looks of things those that matter at Celtic DO think he's good enough.
Above is my scenario in what I think would work

Your explanation only makes it seem even more stupid.
