KEEP, BIN or NEED MORE? | Ranking the Current Celtic Squad

[@Kevinmcfc94]

Can’t believe pre season starts tomorrow and a month til the league starts and we’ve signed no players when we need at least 6

[@CelticFansTV]

Fair to say they better get a move on.

[@bobmarleystoe]

dont get your panties in a twist quality takes time or do what the huns are doing and take every free or loan player thats out there and end up with a gang of teenagers to try n make a team out of them.

Kuhn is another one who we should not be giving another 6 months to a season to see if he comes good. Seen enough of him to know he hasn't got the heart to fill that jersey. Its worrying he was a Rodgers signing. The only reason we'll keep him is because no one will want him and he's sitting on a 5 and a half year contract.

[@darrenkerr3495]

Hasn’t got the heart is an understatement, I hate to say this but he’s a coward.

[@stephendonnelly4486]

Agree with most of the bins Paul, but I would include Welsh in that plus some other players not even mentioned who have been out on loan such as Shaw

[@CelticFansTV]

Totally understand point on Welsh. Don’t see any interest coming this season though. Maybe a loan deal?

[@CelticFansTV]

Shaw etc. are write offs. Basically B team players.

[@justacotin]

Great stuff,,glad you're back

Think Palma will prove people wrong this season with the right attitude he is technicly great and could be a big player for us this season n capable of a wonder strike..or corner

Welcome back Paul HH

[@DG-rb7bo]

It pisses me off that Celtic fans accept we can’t get any better than Greg Taylor , actually haunted by some of his performances , he is absolutely bang average

[@CelticFansTV]

I said we can get better btw.

[@phm1247]

I disagree on Mikey Johnston & Yang 'bin' - I think you're grossly overestimating the calibre of player Celtic can get. 1,768 minutes played and 13 G/A for Johnston is outstanding statistically, especially considering he did that after missing the whole of pre-season with a knee injury. Johnston has the pedigree required & if he stays clear of injury in pre-season I think he could be on the cusp of a really productive season - for me the big concern with Johnston is that he's just always injured. I also think that is harsh on Yang - showed flashes of form where he was outstanding, including showing the ability to come inside & play secondary assists for overlapping full-back, midfielder (and ran out of steam at the end of the season). I also think that is harsh on Palma not to be in 'keep' - he had a great start to the season, including performing at CL level, & had to adapt to really bad weather in Scotland. Everything else I agree with.

[@jmcc2275]

The only pedigree Johnston has is a bad one.

[@phm1247]

@@jmcc2275 Wheesht with the orc-like witch-hunt against Mikey Johnston - to any self-respecting & objective Celtic fan it's embarrassing - from a Moneyball statistical viewpoint his Goal/Assist per minute ratio was one of the best in the Championship (if not the best). The only concern regarding his pedigree is whether at 25 he comes into his man-strength, or, if he is just too injury prone to ever be a real top player.

[@charlessweeney2061]

Top job. Great assessment!

[@nicholasjagneaux]

--> Great to see CFTV🍀 back with new content. Looking forward to the insightful analysis for a Quadruple winning season. --> Your rankings are spot-on. My only difference is with Greg Taylor. I'd like to say "Bin" him, but I recognize the hard work he puts in. However, I really think we need to bring in a new left back to replace him, and put him on the bench, not bin him. --> CCV did *not* acquit himself very well in Copa America, so I think we don't have to worry about him leaving anytime soon. Maybe at the winter break, if he redeems himself in Champions League play. --> AJ, however, really played well in the Copa group stage. He plays Venezuela tomorrow. I think he'll do well. If he does well in CL, he might be on the move next year.

[@CelticFansTV]

Thanks for the Copa America update man 👍🏻 🍀

[@Voidoid77]

No more 'prospect' signings, PLEASE! Get that biscuit-tin off of Lawwell; crack it open & start getting in some experienced, quality players @ Lennoxtown - especially in the areas that *all* Celtic fans know that we desperately need to be sorted in our 'problem' positions... We *must* spend some money to get a really top-quality goalkeeper & big Adam Idah back in for starters... and then sort out the defence / midfield / forwards. And, at the same time, start clearing out all the 'bench-warmers' , & 'prospects' from last Season who are just a drain on our wages bill and have offered nothing in return to the 1st team successes. Hail Hail! Thanks in advance for all your quality analysis w/ Martin & Kenny, etc., too. #COYBIG All the very best to you, Paul, from Japan. (p.s. Kuhn is a dud!).

James McCarthy is living the high life in Dubai with his GF Olivia & there kids she is on Instagram , can’t blame him getting a great wage for doing very little

[@ciaranmilligan2896]

In terms of Kuhn you seem to have forgot about what Rodger’s said about him having health issues especially weight so I don’t think you can be too hard on him till he gets a pre season under his belt and see how he is progressing after that but don’t judge him on a season he’s been dealing with health issues 👍

[@kevincantley]

N didi and inanacho ( spelling 😢 ) both former Leicester and both free

As far as youth goes add Daniel Kelly into keep. Possible chances for Oluwayemi, Lawal, Dane Murray, Frame and Summers this preseason 👍🏻

Good shout, forgot Kwon! I'd bin him at this stage.

[@michaelmccreery8192]

Lagerbielka , nowhere near the quality required, move on cut the losses.

Well looks like Bain will definitely start against Ayr still no signings as yet although Adam Idah might well be returning still need GK x2 CB LB DCM hopefully these things are happening in the background?

This board are a shambles. They have no idea how to build a first team and squad fit for Europe. What is the effin point of Celtic

[@danielhenderson1744]

Good to see you back mate. Don’t get the keep Bain welsh thing but. Even ralston and scales for me are nowhere near it. We all spoke about Kyogos struggles also, and for me you need to look at our wingers to see why he struggled! Some of the worse wingers I’ve seen at the club tbh. Kuhn Yang palma all not good enough and forrest isn’t going to give us 50 games next season.our wing play is awful and far to powderpuff! Some real bang average dross in that squad!

[@CelticFansTV]

I just think Bain and Welsh will stay. Bain is happy to be 3rd choice. Welsh has a contract and don’t expect interest in him.

[@allannicol199]

Unfortunately I'd bet my house Matt O'Reilly is off,so I think in addition to a goalkeeper a replacement for him is a top priority,although unlikely again to be as lucky in finding his quality so cheaply. It's hard to believe that Brendan hasn't known for a good while who he wants in goal,so there better be a good reason he's not been announced yet. The money wasted on James McCarthy would make you weep-the situation is like something dreamed up by a Tony Soprano -the perfect money laundering scheme!🤦‍♂😂

[@lubo25]

Get a bit of discussion going by ranking Celtic's fan media against other clubs and more importantly our club's own historical standards. Here is some ideas for question to throw out there: How many of our channels come across as armchair managers trying to read tealeaves about players they've barely seen play? Do the younger, brighter and more tactically astute sections of our fan media *need* to slide down into the "Innovate for profit" model and fall into the dreary abyss of clickbait? Would it maybe be better for fan media channels to focus on the people in the terraces rather than the players on the park during the closed season? and one I am sure you will be very interested in: About half of the most successful "content" "creators" are overtly political and the Celtic support is an overtly political family who make headlines in the traditional media every day by agreeing, and disagreeing, about a great many things, from bus routes to geopolitical quagmires. With all that in mind what does the distinct lack of Celtic fan media channels which incorporate the politics of the day into the way they deliver news about the team tell us about who we are as a club, and a fanbase? It occurs to me that a lot of fan media out there may have a lot more in common with Lawwell than they realise on this last one (womp womp)
