What baffles me most is Rodgers blind faith in Sinclair. He's been a waste of a shirt for most of the season, the goal stats suggest otherwise,I know, but as far as I can see he's got more than enough chances to play his way out of the doldrums. It's not happening and the side is suffering.
Set up our winner yesterday, in a game we created very little collectively.

Rodgers seems reluctant to try anyone else on that side. I know left wing isn't Forrest, Roberts or Musonda's natural position but surely to eff they'd be worth a try out there when Sinclair is so out of form?

If Rodgers doesn't think anyone else, apart from Hayes, can play there then I understand why he has persevered with Sinclair. The alternative would be a change of formation which doesn't seem to be an option at all.

I think what will probably frustrate him the most is the lack of personal development in just about every player this year.

Only Ajer has pushed on really from last season, with Ntcham developing as the season has gone on. Brown and Forrest have been excellent but I wouldn't say they've really developed. They've just shown, consistently, what a lot of people already knew they had.

Injury has interrupted several players' seasons (Griffiths, Rogic, Dembele, Boyata, Armstrong, Roberts). I think Tierney and McGregor have been good but haven't really pushed on to another level.

I'm not confident with £20m we will sign a decent defence. Maybe overreacting but BR's recruitment of defenders has been woeful.
I´m no doubt in the minority here but despite all the criticism of Boyata, Simonovich, Hendry etc. I do not believe our problems are with the defence. If you go by stats (and what else can you go by?) we have conceded 21 goals in 33 games, which is easily the best defensive record in Britain. By contrast, at the other end of the pitch our record is woeful, 64 scored in 33 games. Thatś 1.9 goals a game in a league where we are supposed to be vastly superior to all our opponents. That makes us less of a goal threat than Wolves, Blackburn, and Wigan who play in much more competitive leagues. It even puts us behind Accrington Stanley and Wycombe. No, I think if we could fix our problems up front and start converting out usual possession dominance into actual goals, the defence would be much less of a problem than some of us imagine it to be.

I agree, Hayes would have provided an alternative. Taking in Sinclairs cross for the second, he is largely ineffective this season. In the game against Dundee, he was allowed possession on several occasions, defenders held their line while he ran the width of the box achieving nothing. He spends games looking busy, doing nothing.
Then plan B seems to be N'Cham rocketing shots into orbit. Rogic seems about the only viable option at the moment.
Disappointing after all the hype of Rodgers signings, Deila's team playing Strachan's football.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Right now, the football’s the same it’s just the wage bill is three times bigger.

And remember, Deila nearly won a treble.
Is it actually 3x ?
nowhere near double never mind triple

Celtic have been linked with a move for Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres.

According to Spanish outlet AS, via TeamTalk, Celtic and Newcastle could be set to battle it out for Torres this summer.

The report claims that Torres has already confirmed his intentions for the summer. Torres has admitted that he will be leaving Atletico at the end of the season.

This opens the door for Celtic to swoop in and snap up the former Liverpool and Chelsea striker.

Top scorer / top assists. Can see why he keeps faith in him.

a fraction of what brendan is on but remy said the wage bill rather than ronny/brendan

and brendan is quite clearly worth the money given the profits he is making the club nevermind trophies

Did the accounts not reflect the higher outgoings ? Can't see remy claiming that without having any evidence to back it up.

Our highest earner from what I heard.
Me too. My info is he is at top end of the range I quoted. It's quite staggering if true especially as he looks a long way away from being first team ready.
That's correct :thumbsup:

Ronnie nearly won a treble joining tonnes of other Celtic managers who also didn’t win a treble.

Rodgers on the other hand is one of a fairly small list.

The Chelsea youngster hasn't hit the heights expected of him yet but Rodgers believes it will happen.

Going to be a nuclear explosion of pish and scheidt in here on the day we lose a game domestically that actually matters.
Agree totally. Another possible treble, still in Europe in January after Champions League is all you could ask for.

However I do think some questions have to be asked about recruitment over the past 15 months. Say you sign ten players, a decent average would be about 6 or 7 seven being a success. Of the players we have signed, N'tcham looks good, Edouard has been Ok (still wouldn't pay £8M for him) and Bain has been a good back up. Jury still out on Hendry.

That leaves Benyu, Eboue Kouassi, Hayes, Compper, Gamboa, De Vries and so far Musonda. I don't think its going over the top to say that our signings are a bit of a worry.

Musonda started three games within his first few weeks at the club so it was clear he was bought to go straight into the team. He lost his place because he played poorly in those matches. The narrative that he’s settling in for a few months with a view to making a big impact next year just isn’t true. Rodgers, I feel, is covering for both him and Compper here. They’ve been major disappointments.
