I only hear about Celtic from my Rangers supporting boss, so you can imagine what that sounds like. On a different note, would you like Howe to become your manager? Yeah I'd have him in a minute in all honesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much exactly what Rodgers done. Going somewhere like Newcastle for example, he relegates them within 6 months and he'd struggle to get a job at EPL level again. Celtic are in a bit of a mess at the moment but Lawell going at the end of the season would be the ideal time for a new manager to come, start with a clean slate, influence change and have less pressure than usual now the ten in a row monkey is off the club's back. If Lawwell is going than I totally agree with you! A miracle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Earle Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 There’s an evident need, though I get that you don’t buy to cover a 4-5 game absence of one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon has form for being either uninformed, clueless or lying. Bids won't go in until the player and his agent have decided which of the many clubs they are talking to they actually fancy joining, and the club gets the nod. (I imagine.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on how much we rate him. If we genuinely think he could be a long term successor to vards, and we have the funds to do it now, it seems like an opportunity not to miss. If we don't rate him as that long term option, then like you say, you give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 This is starting to get right on my tits! It's clear we're not getting a striker, Eddy or otherwise despite the fact that its blatantly obvious we need one. At best, Perez isn't a striker, he's a #10 and Nacho can't play as a loan striker so we have absolutely no backup to Vardy in the system that we play. It's very frustrating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clear tonight that we needed someone in the strikers role who thought like a frontman. We are on the verge of missing a great opportunity here, by not addressing this issue and this I fear is not going to be a one time short-term cover for Vardy, because this situation can easily occur again, with half the season still to be played. I have no idea what the thinking is, behind our reluctance to bring in a competent striker to share the load in the run in for the rest of what is turning out to be a busy season.

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 I am getting all negative about him when I look on Celtic's main forum, seems the fans think he is poor and lazy and would bite our hands off if we offered them £15m for him.

Rodgers has said there are no strikers available that are good enough for what we need. There is no point signing someone who isnt good enough just for the sake of it, better saving the limited budget we have for the summer when it's easier to sign players. And we just dont have the budget to go and overpay for someone. Would have been good to get a loan in until the end of the season but if nobody is available that cant be helped. Not been much dealings by any teams this window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Covid is the reason for his performances at the moment!!! It maybe possible that £15-20m could get him. Apparently he has lost weight he really cannot afford to lose and obviously not having a good time with it. Supporters tend to see what they want to see and it is quite clear there are issues with his health.

If he has long COVID then that would be a real red flag for any club considering buying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long term effect is something that we cannot predict as this virus affects us all differently. The fact that he is out on the pitch still playing is good and maybe he returns to top form down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 Some noises about McGregor but not from my usual (good) source. Is he one of the ones that wants out, Muzzy? I know nothing about the player; only an out of the blue rumour that it could be done and dusted quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynard Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 Can't see this happening. There has only really been the guy on Talksport mentioning anything and I wouldn't class him as reliable. If he is suffering from long covid doubt he would pass a medical. We need a striker but maybe not this one. Laso don't think Brendan sees this position as one of immediate concern whereas he has publically mentioned an attacking midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
