Long time listener First time caller ☘️ HH
Best wishes to MON ☘️ As honestly and non-patronisingly as possible: Is the Celtic job, in all its intensity, a job for a man at that stage of life? O’Neil has repeatedly stated how much it takes out of him. If this scare is even remotely linked, we have a duty to prioritise his health
Outs (9): Schmeichel, Yamada, Inamura, Welsh, Iheanacho, Maeda, Palma, Nawroski, Bernardo = £13.5m Ins (2): Høgh, Durán = £15.5m Araujo, Adamu, Mvuka, Cvancara, Arthur and Saracchi all off wage bill Squad really is running on fumes at this point (Transfermarkt)
Paulo Bernardo seemed a decent lad, and is a decent enough player; wouldn’t surprise me at all if he went and did well elsewhere, so good luck to him Always flattered to deceive for me. Became a better player in the eyes of the support the less he played Never good enough to be a Celtic regular
Hmm Ghedjemjs is an exciting player. Most scouting reports I’ve read are very complimentary I’d be excited if he came to us. And pretty concerned if he went to them..
My gut feeling is that this season will be much like last season, but (hopefully) without the Nancy-chapter Kinda slow, boring football, but ultimately just about getting the job done - owing to us simply having better players It’ll split the ‘winning is everything’ folks from those that want more
Prepared for this to bite me on the arse, but.. It Daisuke Yokota is the player that Rangers are signing to solve their emergency width problem.. The I’d be pretty pleased about that
Why are we like this? 😂
The Celtic Way@thecelticway.bsky.social · 2d ago🗣️ "I don't think that wide right is really Camilo's position." Martin O'Neill on competitive debuts for Duran and Hogh, the latest on Engels and Johnston, transfers and tonight's win vs Dundee. Full Q+A ➡️ www.celticway.co.uk/news/26...
If the reports of us pursuing wingers are true Then that, to me, implies that we won’t be playing two up-top or a midfield diamond If we assume Hogh is our number one starting striker Then where does Duran fit? Wide left, most likely? Or the number 10 in midfield (ahead of Nygren)?
All gone a wee bit too quiet on the transfer-front again for my liking
Last season’s opener under Martin vs this season’s under McInnes Quite why there’s a more accepting tone for McInnes’ result is confusing (and yet not) Direction of travel seems pretty obvious; hey, it may be effective. But it certainly won’t be pretty Team of hammerthrowers, relying on moments
I start posts with “honestly” a lot Which means the ones I don’t… must be lies
Honesty, the world would be a better place if the doctor could send you away with a prescription for “Huns getting beat” Can turn my mood in a heartbeat Eternally grateful to them 🙏
Honestly, Rangers going full McInnes-ball in a league increasingly moving towards high-press and fast counter-pressing.. Such a terrible decision 😂
Huns’ entire gameplan is to battle hard as fuck and hope Shankland scores Exactly the same as McInnes’ last year Stone-age stuff. Zero width, zero creativity Listen, they’ll probably win this game, but my God, it’s going to be eye-bleeding stuff from them this year
A Portuguese international leaving Benfica for Bournemouth is so, so sad to me I understand. Premier League, money, shop-window, all that But the purist in me just can’t accept that any kid with a ball at their feet and a Benfica top on dreams of one day playing in front of 11,000 Bournemouth fans
Very impressive from Motherwell again last night Wouldn’t at all bet against then finishing 3rd this season. Johansson seems yet another really strong appointment Draw maybe been a little unkind to them; Helsinki are a decent outfit with experience at this level But I wouldn’t write-off M’well
Fuck FIFA and Infantino so much, by the way Absolute bastards. Is nothing sacred any more?? The World Cup has already been capitalised to an extent way beyond what the average fan can stomach Thank God for the European nations’ stances, which you would hope, would kill this atrocity stone-dead
If you’d said to the support in May that come the first fixture of the league season, we’d have signed two players…
Reo linked away today. Inevitable really. Feels like time for him to go How much are we looking for? Really hard one to gauge. Penultimate year of his contract, 28 y/o, out of favour But undoubted massive talent Could really land anywhere between £2m and £10m
Of all the players we could potentially lose this summer, for me, AJ would be the biggest blow I’d argue that he’s probably our most important player Done three years, and can understand the time is probably right for him; but he’d be a huge loss If he does go, it should only be for a record fee
Really happy with the Høgh signing A lot of caveats as to what kind of service we’re able to give him But, style and function aside, we couldn’t realistically have signed a player more well-suited for our specific demands domestically and in Europe Seems a big character too Excited about him 🇩🇰
