Perfect plan would be us to sign him and Leuven to have him on loan for 2 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another one from the SPFL holding their own in the EPL. Believe it or not Armstrong was way out the picture at Celtic until Rodgers arrived. When I was in Dundee a few years ago, I had a tour of Tannadice Park. The old fella who did the tour was talking to me about Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong. All the noise in the press was about how good GMS was. The old fella was absolutely adamant GMS would be a flash in the pan, whereas Armstrong would go on to play in the EPL. He was right clearly, GMS is in the Scottish Championship now isn't he? Not that it'll happen, but I'd take Armstrong as a squad option here, especially in lieu of Praet's injury.

GMS has tons of ability but he is terribly inconsistent and mentally quite weak. If he could have turned it on every week he would have been in the EPL too. Yeah he's recently signed for Hearts after a stint at NYCFC. He's better than the Scottish Championship tbf, he'll still do a job in the top league, where Hearts will be again next season. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As strange as it sounds, perhaps it's because he likes the players up there. Celtics best players play in positions that we are well stocked in. Eduoard, McGregor, Ajer... With a fully fit Leiceater, they will struggle to get game time ahead of the likes of Vardy Tielemans and Soyuncu so maybe his personal relationship with these lads has prevented him taking them here and potentially stalling their career. ...Just a theory. Ofcourse the other is that he doesn't think they are good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He made a bid for McGregor not last summer but the summer before tbf, which was verified by the player. Like I've said the only two that would be good enough imo are Edouard and McGregor so maybe not that much of a surprise. I guess Tierney obviously was but he had already gone to Arsenal by the time Leicester were looking for a left back. Edited 27 January by Muzzy_Larsson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I came into work today and the guy who was on before me was saying that a Celtic fan who apparently has some sort of source at the club seems to think there is a good chance McGregor is on his way to us before monday. Absolutely no clue how reliable he is. Don't see it myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ric Flair 21,571 Posted 28 January Author Report Share Posted 28 January I see the MLS is being targeted for short term loans and options to sign permanently as their league has been suspended until at least April. Not sure on work permit issues but Cole Bassett from Colarado is getting a lot of interest for European clubs and would fit the profile of midfielder we are after.

RowlattsFox 2,474 Posted 28 January Report Share Posted 28 January I'm not surprised to see a really quiet window. Scouting must be impossible unless you've been watching someone for a long time. Organising medicals probably a ball ache with all the travel restrictions, players reluctant to move their families or move away and domestic transfers are never easy in Jan. I reckon they'll be a few domestic loan to buy moves around deadline day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really strange that the PL is probably the most financially well off and the French league the worst from the pandemic and yet there is multiple signings being made by French teams. Either they're off their heads and the PL clubs are being very cautious or something's afoot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
