He arrived injured and hasn’t played much since. They tried to shift him in the summer but I don’t think he was willing to rip up his contract and Celtic wouldn’t pay him up. A loan based on what we could pay isn’t going to put a dent in Celtics outlay to him. And I certainly wouldn’t pay anything close to over the odds to sign an aging, injury prone player that has barely kicked a ball in anger for the last 3-5 years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 52 minutes ago, GuyIncognito said: Rocco Vata on loan potentially? Highly rated midfielder at Celtic, being linked with Serie A clubs as he's out of contract this summer. Would probably go straight into the starting 11. Far more likely to happen than some names I've seen some Celtic fans saying should come to us like Forrest and Johnston. Mitchell Frame for Celtic could be a shout, young left back who has been in and around first team squad for Celtic, made his debut v Feyenoord and is from Ayrshire I think. With Brown knowing Strachan quite well and him at Dundee, wonder if my suggestion of Cammy Kerr might come off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It sounds like we’re giving Brown free rein to an extent over who he wants to bring in and not relying on Glendinning. Thank the lord for that! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out of order here. I did want someone with more experience, and was initially disappointed that we were going for someone with not much managerial experience again. However, Brown is an interesting and somewhat ballsy appointment. I always liked him as a player - he was very hardworking and determined. I am looking forward to seeing what effect his management has on the team. Exciting times ahead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on you for owning that one... and agree on exiting times... choking to see what kind of relationship he has with contacts and who he's going to bring in to bolster the team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanayr1987 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It’s not just Celtic and rangers that they will have contact in. There hibs Aberdeen and Norwich. All three are known for having a fairly good youth set up so who knows where they will come from 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it would be a horrific risk to take. McGeady was in a similar scenario when we signed him although he was played more frequently over the time period and he’s hardly been fit. f McCarthy was interested in playing, he’d have worked out a deal at Celtic in the summer. I’m sure he’s happy getting pain £10k a week to jog round Lennoxtown 5 mornings a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So getting Norwich players up would say would be equally as difficult Also the po beeps actually play there young players but fair enough if they got any good ones who aren't its worth a pop but there are probably better options around than them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
