gannonball Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 On 14/08/2023 at 20:44, Grangemouth Bairn said: He’s a decent player but that’s Clarke and Howe questioned his commitment now and he’s also contracted to Newcastle until 2025 and reputedly earning over £60k a week. If Rodgers wants him it’ll cost you a few quid in wages as I would imagine he’d want a contract up to 2025 at least and probably minimum £40k per week. Its probably worth giving Vata a go first imho. Allegedly we aren't playing Vata because he is stalling on a contract and stopping him from going on loan. Would agree about Fraser would rather we get him on loan first to test his commitment/attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if there is a potential attitude issue however it’s a concern that we can’t retain or migrate a lot of these kids into the 1st team. The Daniel Podence from Wolves rumours seem to be gaining momentum. Lewis Hall going to Newcastle so that squashed rumours of KT going there. Some Arsenal fan outlets claiming BR wants KT back at Celtic but with Timber injured Arteta may decide to hold onto him now anyway Edited August 18, 2023 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame any of them for leaving though tbh they have absolutely no guarantee of making it at all in the senior game so might as well take the cash before they might turn out to be gash as you say.

I'm thinking of that Somali boy, and I'm sure there are a few others. Some like Mikey Johnstone stayed and were gash (to be fair could probably get a game for someone like Ross County or Kilmarnock). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get what you mean for every Tierney/McGregor there's at least half a dozen Feruz's. And if Feruz stayed at Celtic he would never have made it so he was absolutely right to cash in on the hysteria about him at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Watt. It's about screwing the heid and I'm not sure that getting a 5k per week wage packet always helps that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was more about the season ahead than today M8,CCV isn't upto speed and will take time to recover because he missed pre-season this could be a problem going forward into the champions league games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the prognosis is 2 months for Welsh so I'm hoping CCV will be clear of injury by that point and/or at least one of the newbies have established themselves in the team. I have nothing against Welsh he's done ok but tbh hes been quite lucky to get so many appearances for us through injuries to others and he was never really rated at youth level either, if Hjelde or Morrison had stayed we probably would have barely heard of him. Having said all that if Rodgers rates him and helps the home grown quota then I have no issue with him staying. Ideally a loan away would do him good though when we have more fit bodies.

I like the look of Nawrocki so far comfortable with both feet,if we're going with 4 centre-backs for the season CCV,Nawrocki,Welsh and Lagerbielke would be my 4 in that order. I'm not into the if but and maybes M8,If you don't rate Welsh going forward just say it. For me he could develop into a decent centre-back better than Jack Hendry plus could play at right back if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a case of not rating him but you rarely get people who are content with being 3rd/4th choice so it's just ideal for us really. I would like to see him get a run of games though elsewhere to test him further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason why I said it's a big season for him,Celtic play 60 games so he should get plenty of chances plus we all know it's not about the first 11 anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
