And Hilton never played, so impossible to judge him. Hjelde looked decent enough. Could be a decent player down the line. The others, I won’t miss. Hilton, nobody knows. Lakin did a passable job, but I fear that’s only because he’s slightly better than rubbish like Kelly. I’d happily never have another loan player again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 That's Hughes been offered a contract extension btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Must admit I liked Charlie Lakin, he linked up well with Paton and also Hylton and Shaw too but that quartet never saw much game time in the last three months. I think Leo Hjelde could develop into a TOP class footballer, he's only 17 years old remember. I don't think us, celtic or the player himself would have expected him to have played the amount of first team games that he managed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPockets Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I think Yogi has definitely done enough since Christmas to give him an opportunity to try something with us next season. Would hope we bring in a DOF above him though and have a group of Yogi, Fergie and the DOF identifying transfer targets for the summer. I believe we have 6 first team players under contract (Donaldson, Grivosti, Iacovitti, Charles-Cook, Shaw & White) so there's plenty scope for change. Would offer Laidlaw and Midge a new deal. And maybe Vigurs but otherwise, a full clearout wouldn't be harsh on anyone else IMHO. Hope we get answers in the next week on contract situations etc as we could really do with getting the squad for next season sorted sooner rather than later as it could be (and hopefully will be) largely a new group of players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why some people think he should be given a new contract since he managed to keep you up but if he is in charge of rebuilding the squad it’s more than likely to end up with you needing a new manager by Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my view on it. I think it's hard to argue against the club offering an extension on the face of it but the reality is Yogi's recruitment/ability to rebuild a squad is notoriously bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not normally “ITK”, but am very reliably informed Laidlaw signed an extension a good couple of weeks back. The bit I don’t fully recall is the length, but 2 years rings a bell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torfason Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Looking at Yogi’s management career, one of his most successful periods was when he was at Falkirk and a lot of that was down to his ability to bring in really good loan players like Stokes, though IIRC that was down to his ties to Liam Brady rather than his eye for a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 I don't like it but I'll have to go along with it. He's done well and proved me wrong. I'll support him but part of me thinks we'll be looking for a new manager by Christmas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
