Have we signed anyone yet!?

Quinny & McBride are back in 2024 to talk all things Celtic. This January Transfer window is one every celtic fan has expectations that the club should 2know who they’re after” and sitting with 1/3 of the month all but gone the first question of the year for the guys is “Have we signed anyone yet??”

#celticfc #coybig

Hy Hy the sou here and what the hell do we care now it is 2024 apologies for the the minor delay we did have some technical issues trying to just get everything all dusted off and ready for for the new year 2024 but we’re here for the the S CSC I’m qu and

Joined us over by McBride A McBride H H good to see you mate sorry that was entirely technical issues at my fault so I know it’s nearly 2025 Michael Ross I do apologize it’s well I I say it was my fault I was using my computer for other stuff earlier and

It’s just completely buggered up all my camera settings and um yeah there we go it’s working now hopefully yeah sorry guys it’s my fault not quinny’s anyways let’s talk about probably it’s probably the most drama we’ve had this week H in terms of anything s related on this channel

Anyway because it’s been all quiet on Sly the Western Front maybe not the Eastern front but we’ve been sending some guys over back into the J League had OB left had a good chancee confirmed and we’re all here in a we bit you kobashi could be going to

Yokohama yeah um I think that story as well saying that were were trying to punch seis to or sis to St grats and that they were really worked out so I think is it the nightclub policy again one out one in type policy or a couple

Out before we get one in might be might be going for that um I think I don’t know how you feel about it Quinny I think everybody’s going to feel as if you know maybe we should have had some stuff lined up but I think it’s been a

Difficult one as well because the squads have just been announced for the Asian cup so you know we could have signed a striker for example or look for a loan and then for a hashes on the squad so there’s there’s some s of moving goal post but I think we’re we’re trying to

Get rid of some players before we we bring some new ones in that seems to be the impression I’m getting anyway so I hope that’s not that I hope that’s not the case because the way the manager been talking especially like I’m fighting back a cough by the way if I

Sound weird at any point that’s probably what it is um but the manager especially saying you know we need to add in a couple levels of quality two or three bodies h into the squad overall maybe four or five when you add in the next summer window and again like I dropped a

Channel on I dropped a video on the channel just before the turn of the year with like quotes from the board quotes from the manager Etc of like stuff that they’ve been saying all year like for me there’s just no excuses and I know there’s a lot of fans that H you know

Come into this channel come into the live stream as well like Quinny how can you expect any of this stuff it’s not not nothing is going to change with with this mob and again like you know some of the the the chat we’re getting here but the champions leag prize money is inex

You know unavoidably bigger and when you hear the words of the board themselves they know they recognize that you know you need to play you need to be able to actually win matches now it’s not just about turning up and H getting by the qualifiers it’s a different game now

Altogether and the the Money Pot is bigger so if we do want to L all this greed at them that they have surely they should be even greedier now and the best way to get that is obviously you need to be in amongst it and causing it so I

Think really I hope we’re not waiting for these transfers to pan out like the Kobe ashes and the goodies and the seus and whatever before we execute on something else that will but I was getting this feeling MC bra before we came on that we’re probably waiting we’re probably like we’re probably

Waiting for those guys again where we’re like fifth choice on their list if you know I mean some guys going in January and maybe we’re like fifth FD choice for that guy and we’re waiting to see what happens does he go to this club do they sign somebody else or all those terms

Have fell through now and all that you know are we maybe waiting for someone who’s not jumping um well I’m not making any excuses for the board like we’ we’ve slagged off the the recruitment like loads of times we’ve been critical of the recruitment but like the squad’s too

Big right so you know Phillips is away now um there’s still been points recently where like lager be or no Rocky were getting left off the bench because Rogers didn’t really feel like we needed to the center halfs on the bench um we we seem to have quite a lot of players

Like you know Michael Johnson forest and certain positions where everybody would probably agree that it would be better just to have one better player in that position rather than having two or three them um we we’re going to have a couple of games where there’s going to be no o

No Yang no hat who tellos away although he wasn’t really making squads and no Maya so it’s good to have um a bad back um fit it’s good fashi isn’t going away um all that type of stuff but um the squad’s too big you know so I’m not

Saying that we should be waiting to sign players but I think we’ve got to get guys out the door as well I don’t see the point of just having um s like cutting about earning a certain amount of money and you can’t make squads or anything it’s just just seems to be a

Bit of a waste he doesn’t never makes a Ben or whatever so I don’t know why we need them um and the the center back position is a bit Ed as well because we had that big crisis where everybody will get injured and then that Phils come in

As like an emergency type loan so he’s away now and you might even see you know like maybe lag there’s been loads of rumors lagery might sort of move on there as well I still think that the the priority positions are pretty similar to be honest like um did you see Rogers

Comments about Joe Hart found that kind of interesting did you read them I’ve not read them properly but I got the gist of what they were um from some I seen and it just made me made me worried you know because we were exchanging messages about Pand moving Hull and

Thinking Jesus there’s a guy we could be we could have just snapped him up like no bother at all ready to go in January you know no he’s yeah creation under 21 goalkeeper I mean yeah um that that is I’m not saying it’s worrying because I don’t like you

Know we’re looking to move forward so it’s not it’s not a a huge problem position that you know Joe Hart’s there and he’s an experienced goalkeeper and I think you got to be difficult and you got to be careful in that position you don’t go and by a young player and it

Just becomes a disaster so give you another example man united like de GE kept the highest amount of clean sheets in EPL last season everybody was all saying he was like bomb scare goalkeeper and blah blah blah and they let him go and they spend like 8 million in Anana

And he’s been worse so like there’s no no guarantee that if you go and buy a goalkeeper that’s going to work straight away or going to fit in straight away or whatever so uh it just seemed a weird situation cuz after that Champions League game I seemed like the interview

In Joe Hart was looking a bit upset and stuff it was almost like this is maybe my last or or is my last Champions League type game he felt as if it was he was sort of finished at that level and then all of a sudden you’ve got Rogers

Saying well why don’t we just sit down at the end of the season and and have a chat about it and seej saying give me Jo over all project well yes if the if the choice is signing somebody that no Des ever heard of that’s not like let any

Real guarantee have been a good piece of recruitment then you’d be better to give Joe har a one-year contract extension and bring in a young goalkeeper and B them in the problem is I think if we are looking at sign a young goalkeeper we should be signing that goalkeeper in

This window and giving them a chance to come into the club and play Under heart and dare I say play a few Cup games or whatever and then be ready to take over not just fling somebody in in the summer and go there we go we’re expecting you

To play great every week and we want to win every week and you know by the way next week you’re play in the Champions League and you know that type of stuff um so there we go that’s going to be interesting um left back position I know

Most people don’t agree with me but i’ i’ really think that we need somebody to challenge or or give Greg Taylor bit of a run for his money or or just somebody that’s a bit different in terms of like capabilities than than Greg Taylor you

Know he’s he tries his best but um there were certain games there where he was he was getting targeted it was the Comm away game and you know he was he was um he was trying he he was doing his best trying and helping Midfield or try to

Get forward and all that sort of stuff but we were just looking Ultra dodgy going back the other way because K were aware of that so um we keep getting L way Wingers and stuff like that but I’d like to see his sign the left back to H

So well I’m I’m just kind of looking at the squad as it sits to now obviously we’re we’re only missing the Asia cup guys for like a couple of games like we spoke about already but I was just kind of updating it and flinging it about

There a we bit but it is very light up front even with kyogo still staying in the team I seen a officially there that John Joe Kenny is H is officially not John Joe Kenny sorry Johnny Kenny is um is officially back on the squads there returning for maybe alone in Ireland or

Something like that perhaps so um maybe he’s got our contract extension it’s just a formality but he has registered now Opa wise anyway he’s been back at Celtic uh from wherever he was playing recently but it is yes say nothing’s changed in that respect but like you’ve

Probably seen that that H song it’s been out on Twitter and probably Instagram and Tik Tok and all that St he’s made and it’s a Bel song I’ll go I’ll go sck it on um give him the credit for it because it’s a is that the one where

Spell wrong o o r e i l y H they might have done I didn’t actually clock that to be honest I I watched ear it’s same one very very very very e mate well done it is H Mur in the back four M on the back

Four do you know what I’m talking about I I’ve seen it ear where Rogers is like pointing that way that is pretty fun I must admit Ross Ms is that count at Ross MS is the one I found on Anyway the Lins are all genius you can go and check out for yourself guys I don’t want Ross Ms on Twitter you’ll find them it’s probably everywhere else as well at C podcast is tagged maybe they made it or something I don’t know it’s all above my head I just seen this

Post and I thought it was hilarious um yeah I know is it was pretty funny was pretty funny um as the song but a go back a goalkeeper and a left back you know it’s not news these aren’t new things that we’ve been you know just all

Of a sudden realize that we need you know these are something that the Club Brandon everyone should have been like scouting for this whole time it’s not like oh it’s January I start looking what do we need again guys who who can remember what we need and then we’re the 9th of January

Absolutely nothing happened you think at least something would have been ready to action maybe something that was unfinished business from the summer or anything that they just extra motivated to you know solving the squads because brendon’s clearly not been happy with the squad from top to

Bottom yeah I mean we get linked with a lot of players in every transfer window so you know let’s see if we actually who we sign and what happens and stuff I think there’s a couple of things this one I mean we don’t actually have a real

Competitive game until the 27th I know we got Bucky fistle in the cup but no offense to Bucky fistle but that’s that’s a game you expect any sort of lineup we put out should be winning at Park head right so we’ve got a couple of weeks um and there is a difference in

The setup now Celtic and got to kind of accept that you know an like an went and he was quite decisive and he would he he was kind of more controlling the actual recruitment he was saying I want that guy and I want that guy and all that sort stuff whereas the recruitment

Process seems to be um a we bit different now in terms of how we’re we’re sort of working it I mean I guess if fash had went away to the the Asian cup then we would have been like really really light up front so obviously no

Fashi no um oh and the first games against Ross County you might have well got past that but HS away you’ve got abine away and also it depends like maybe if like say Japan got to final or whatever there’s there’s further games after that that you might potentially

Miss if they actually go all the way to like the semi-final and the final so you’re talking about S three or four games potentially but um yeah I mean I’m not in the mode of like we should just Panic say somebody for the sake of like

Two or three games but we’ve seen with the title race it’s really really close you know the Gap um realistically is is is two point you know so and there’s no room for for error there in terms of like slipping up and those way games cuz you’re just turning up with like say

Let’s call back that Phillips and fire him up front we’ll play some long balls like like who we going to play up front and like aad could play through there but you look at that s depth chart there we’re probably going to be relying on a

B to fill myis position there as well so if something touch would let’s hope it doesn’t happen but if you did and pick up an injury to one of those key players you’re looking really really um light in those um position obviously so um that’s a difficulty

Um it was good to see the the sort of three clean sheets in four games and then only conceding from a a set piece as well though I mean because everybody’s all you know discussed the the defensive deficiencies and the things we be doing and all that type of

Stuff and I know it wasn’t like you know Livingston at home’s not a a hard game or whatever but sometimes we we’re doing things like building like clean sheets and things it’s like a confidence thing where you you you build them and you build some confidence and you know

People um people take confidence for that and it becomes more of an expectation I see one of the um comments up there was you think no rocki will take over skill’s position by the end of the season um I’d be quite surprised I mean I think scale’s been brilliant um I

Think he’s been really good stood up in the big games in the games where Vickers has been out he’s really sort of led by example there I know you’ve had the the commanda away game but I don’t I really don’t think that he was to blame for any

Of that stuff we left ourselves well like you know way wide open down that sort of left hand side but it was because Taylor was a way up in the middle of the pitch I think the second goal he was up in the right wing position or something for a corner so

That that you know there’s kind of obvious reasons for that um I think no rocki has looked good when he’s come in think like people who was kind out of mind and people are like oh this recruitment’s been horrendous and then he’s come in and he’s and he’s done he’s

Done quite well and he looks quite positive in terms of playing the ball forward and stuff so I don’t think there’s any issue with that but um I think that if um scales and Vickers are fit then it’s an obvious choice of skilles and Vickers would play just now

I don’t really see why you would change that given skilles form and Vickers when he’s fit you know I think everybody ages you know he was our best defender probably not so much this season we all injuries but last season etc’s he’s been you know our best center back anyway so

I um I I don’t see that changing but I mean what do you think I mean I’ve seen the Scott McKenna links as well I don’t I don’t know I think you need to be some player to get Liam scales out the Celtic team like when I see people talking about scales Celtic

Fans everywhere like oh yeah he’s doing all right the now but let’s not get let’s not ex some some people are telling themselves that scales is another like rouson or Taylor in the sense that like he’s got a ceiling at the Champions League we’ve already seen him play champions league and be very

Good at left Center back and be you know and shrouds of chaos Be Cool Cam and composed and effective and like honestly like I like noo I’ve always said Rocky looks Celtic level he’s got a place in this squad from the first couple of games we’ve seen him he was way better

Than starfelt on the ball big strong guy they keep confident keep him fit he’s probably got a place in the team but I don’t think he’s better than Vickers necessarily but Vickers like he just seems to be maybe a you know a can of worms of issues perhaps

Like he’s just never going to be a maul fit you know season in season out perhaps so again like I don’t think there’s any needs to replace scales and I think if you’re going to like I say if you’re GNA get something to get him out

The team they have to do everything he’s doing better and he’s doing pretty good you know what I mean like where’s the areas of improvement that you want from scales because he plays the ball in at the final third he goes you he’s got a goal there weekend he’s getting up for

Corners and stuff and like me me and you see the stats you know Jules on the ground in the air all sorts of stuff he’s a monster no one gets by him Champions League or League been brilliant yeah I mean that I was kind of backwards and forwards somebody in

Twitter that happens from time to time but and like the argument was this you know you know is this at the Champions League level or we’re not aiming to improve get well he was man in a match against fire um and we went to Celtic Rangers game we

Were sitting um just behind obviously um the Celtic end in the first half and he was playing there and you know I thought he was I thought he was excellent and you see when he when he gets the ball he he he looks after the ball he defended

Well he was winning tackles he was winning headers um you know if you had a more athletic left back beside him you would see a difference as well because sometimes I think he gets kind of um caught up in the issues that come down that side but

When when Greg Taylor was getting into the middle of the park against Rangers it was leaving a bit of a gap so I mean remember like we were kind of laughing we’re s behind the goal but’s played the ball up it’s come over and go oh that’s

Just a long punt looked over mosin’s run away from Taylor he’s out of position or whatever and then he’s almost running through and goal so it was you know it wasn’t really sort of deliberate obviously from that point of view just the way it um um sort of happened but it

Came down that side again so I I think you know I’m happy with skills honestly I mean he’s he’s played think every single game that he’s actually been like available for like I can’t remember him actually missing any any games I can’t remember him having too many howlers I

Remember like you know Nat Phillips like scoring an OG and you know are just looking absolutely rotten that’s a guy who who Liverpool own I don’t think he’s gonna get a game for Liverpool or anything but he looks much better than than than him um so if he’s out of

Contract in summer I think it’s really crucial you give him a new contract because if he goes then you’ve got maybe enough Rocky coming in and people are you know Rogers doesn’t seem fancy lagab and then you’re getting back into Welsh so that then you’re looking at what

We’re going to have to go and buy another Center back again and um Rogers touched that as well position where you want to have your goalkeeper in your left Center back back in your right center back you don’t want to really change that much cuz yeah it’s you want

That kind of continuity and that’s what builds the the clean sheets and the performances and all that sort of stuff um and even the right hand side Alistar Johnson maybe isn’t the best going forwarder I don’t know if he’s had his best season but he he’s he’s he is pretty solid generally speaking

Defensively that’s his he’s he’s better qualities you know so an Johnson and like kogo and a few of other guys that were signing these guys were like the best guys in their league like unquestionably aliser Johnson along with two other guys is in the conversation for best right back in MLS the whole

Time he was there and kogo like you know and daen when these guys show up here they’re both in the conversation for being the best striker in a league that scores a lot of and a lot of goals and that is the that is the sort of caliber

That we should be adding in there’s a great name that’s been brought up in the chat you’d have probably seen this already McBride of course it’s been a big one in the S year but Ola Sol backin who has been a a babe in the Celtic

Rumor Mills over the years um has been brought into the conversation here but he’s gone he’s went to Ura the Japanese you can’t do any business in January I hear people say h Ura went and got went brought that guy in and again how much money did Ura Red Diamond spend in

Transfer fees and on wages I don’t think it’s that much it’s about the players you approach it’s about how you approach them and it’s about actually wanting to sign players at the end of the day I’m sitting here in theth of January thinking again I mentioned the thing

Earlier we’re going to get to the last two days of this window before Celtic I think they’re actually engaging in conversations with people I think they’re just always just going to play that waiting game and be the try and get somebody just pure stuck between a rock

And a hard place and just yeah who’s maybe not within your reach and just try and see if you can catch them yeah I mean I’m not defending them at all when in terms of players I would like to say you know love the guy own beet um dunde

He’s been called back by Liverpool he’s actually going to get some games for Liverpool because I think Robertson’s not back yet and semic cast on his shoulder as well but he would be an obvious guy if he was available where he’d want to buy him he played with UND

D looks he’s good quality in the ball he played really well against MAA and he looks if he got bit Pace he’s young so that you know that would be an obvious good signing if somebody like that was available even if if if it was a four or

Five six million type signing because you can see he’s done well in the league so that would been an obvious one I think the problem is we look at names like sobak and and we’ve seen you know obviously him play well against Celtic before we think a good guy we’ve been

For and then you get naturally disappointed when they you don’t sign him but the problem is these are names are released by the media you know like we’re linked by Jordan Henderson that’s just complete not ping the sky on like 700 Jal pounds a week or something there

Like and like said he’s going to take a wage cut would he’s he’s not going to take a 90% wage cut to come or 95% wage cut to come and play for Celtic you know like that that just seems completely and utterly ludicrous type stuff um J obviously you know there was rumors

About he wanted away away um you know that that that to me might make a bit more sense because he might think well have left I’m not happy there I’ve made my money they might want to do some sort of deal where they cut their losses or whatever everybody’s issue

That they’ll say they want a feeback will they be able to get a feeback after they’ve not really been playing them and you know you’ve got all those sort of Dynamics um plus said they’re just throwing money like it might sound Bonkers say they was going to spend 20

Or 30 million in somebody else but that’s at the level of money they’ve got they the wages of P players and stuff are just completely and utterly Bonkers just you unimaginable unimaginable amounts of money and stuff it’s just like that’s just crazy so so we could

Dream about stuff like that but um I I mean I think you want to see a couple of players coming in in this window there’s no doubt about it but it is the nth and you know get towards the end of the window and we’re scrambling again then

I’m pretty sure we’ll all be having that conversation and we’ll all be pissed off about it because it’ll be like okay we’ve just went back to square one in terms of how we used to handle things before an come in and kind of took everything by the short and CES and said

No that’s the way I want it to happen and you know he really was quite strong in terms of how you wanted that policy to run yeah just thinking like if you look at tottenham’s business of course they’ve been pretty quick this you know they might have a deal getting done from

Under their feet at the moment with that Dragon but yeah come straight into this window need a striker go and get one Rapids you know swap deal MJ for J I wouldn’t mind mind that MJ um’s quite big and like kind of identifying players that he’s seen

Himself as well right so like know played against did verer play against us at P head when an was the manager I can’t remember I know he’s played it um parkhead but I can’t remember if it was um under an I’m sure verer played for

Leig at parkhead isn’t he he I think he scored a parkhead as well I can’t remember if it when an was the manager um so you can see like there that that would be something that he’s had an obvious influence on I mean Rogers and influence in that

Philips so maybe the fact we’ve not signed anybody yet could be positive I don’t know um and and to get back to obviously the two signings we spent the main amount of money on the summer lager and no rocki I think no rocki could still turn out be very good signing I

Think it looks good um and people just assumed that because he wasn’t in squads and stuff like that there was this big issue but he had a bad he had a bad injury as well wasn’t registered for Champions League Squad um and then there was against

Away so that that makes sense um and we of Rocky um Roger said something along the lines of no Rocky wasn’t up to speed and everybody took that as he’s not good enough but it just wasn’t fit or you know seen the games he’s come back and

He’s played in h the game against Marin he he played and after 60 minutes once the game was one he took him straight off it wasn’t because doesn’t rate him just cuz obviously he’s not actually up to match Fitness or whatever yet cuz he he hadn’t played like a full game in

Like three months or whatever so that that kind of makes sense um I think I think it’s quite obvious we need a kind of Winger type like you said before about Palmer Palmer’s delivered goals and assists and he’s been quite effective in some areas but we’re kind

Of missing that guy if you look at abada Maya and Palmer they’re all guys who kind of sometimes struggle to actually beat a man whereas out and out Winger would be somebody with proper technical ability that is going to be looking to drop the shoulder and you know that that

That type of um thing so that the guy was K or whatever been like with guy from Rapid Vienna he he kind of looks like that kind of quick technical type player that’s um who’s that different it’s a guy um you call rapid rapid Vienna let’s have a look that’s what we

All about yeah he’s on so rare so you’ll be able to get him Nicholas k um he uh is oh I see him yeah yeah he’s a forward is 24 so he came through it like um I think maybe leig or something he’s had like ax leig Bayern Munich so all like good

Like that makes sense um and he’s kind of um but for them he’s he’s more you know he’s said a few kind of appearances from the bench and all that type of stuff um so it’s interesting I don’t think he’s um said setting the hether a

Light if you know what I mean but from that point of view he is a right a right winger I think he’s got B Pace about him um he looks a more technical player so different different option if that looks similar to that Kitz Garden the first thing I’m thinking yeah

In terms of all this stuff yeah I and right right wing would would kind of would make sense I don’t know if he’s played any sort of left wing as well if he’s maybe if he can do both you know in terms of um crossover and stuff um yeah I see definitely a

Good upbring in theems and stuff he’s come through like looks quite good and he seems to be I think he was like he’s he’s quite high up I was talking to J but i s high up in the like big chances created type sort of metrics in in their

League which is um which is quite interesting so nice so yeah again there it’s see until we actually sign somebody see until it’s hard because we’ll be like until we actually go and sign somebody we could sit here and discuss like 25 rumors or whatever like that’s

That’s a problem this guy’s get some pedigree yeah liic Academy 2016 to 2018 and then 2018 to 2020 ax 2 and ax under 19s it’s followed by a year at Bayern Munich to I think I can’t remember which one of them but I’m one of them paid

About three million for him at one point as well you know so um that that seems kind of like as if he was quite highly rated obviously like at one point as well see what see that’s that’s a profile I can get excited by you know guys got a bit of

Prospect that’s something coming through you know I mean realistically like had anybody really taking much notice of J before we sign them you know like like we’re talking about quality and stuff that but like you know got to judge guys and the quality of the show when they

Actually do come into the the team eventually if we sign anybody as we’ve been talking about so I’m sure I’m sure we will I mean I’m not I’m I’m not in any way defending the board because I know it’s it’s obviously a bit slow but I would be hugely shocked if we don’t

Sign some players this window and I think that getting those guys out like you know like for example from sigis point of view there was rumor that we were trying to maybe line somebody up if we could manage to get cist out the door and that would make sense because you

Know we’re saying we don’t really need three goalies so why would we need four goalies so that that that that kind of makes sense also barnab situation he doesn’t trust babbi one of the games where he just fired on Ralston instead towards the end um played him at left

Back he think he just doesn’t doesn’t fancy BBY so that point of view you’re as well like getting him out loan somewhere he can get some games see if he can actually develop in anyway or if you think he’s a lost cause then you just take a million or two get rid of

Him and then just move on and and and trying you know recruit in a different way I seen I was messag in the chat about Josh do I mean Celtics should have signed Josh do when he was at HS I mean they left for what two and a half

Million or something um and now Verona want like five or six so let him go and then um seven Wingers at the club I bet well you could have 15 Wingers but see forite then what use is that like why mean mean Quinny could fill in at Wing

But it’s like we’re rubbish so like it doesn’t make any difference I mean like um you know Michael Johnson like has the odd kind of we spell where he’s like a good game he scores two goals against D but he was horrible in the games before

That you know he was was it the the hars game he was terrible in that game and you know Celtic ultimately lost the game and stuff as well so so if you really if Rogers feels that that there’s not enough quality in the squad you got to

Look like at guys like Michael Johnson and turo and say right well what are the qualities he wants and if these guys are at contract in the summer maybe we’d be better moving on and actually buying somebody else rather than them occupying a bench space and coming on and having

An odd good game and all that type of stuff um Yang I mean Yang’s a wages now how did he get into that Squad I don’t don’t J kinman just loves players that don’t play like in Korea or whatever he had this m thing when he was America

Manager as well where he just he wants everyone to play in Europe if you know what I mean and the Americans fell out with him quite hard over it and I think the Koreans are going the same way because I think we’re talking about it

On may have been this show may have been the podcast on the S side here but um we’re talking about how the one of Korea’s International breaks bman has scheduled it and organized it all so that he had like three days off in the middle to go play a charity match in

Like Sunderland or something like that and yeah I don’t think the Kens were too happy about it when they so so yeah me European best players he loves Celtic as well Clansman it turns outp he was given um oh sort of like quite sort of reviews and I think the

Friendly game they had he he started all up front so he I want to have a look at him but if you look at yang right it’s clear that Yang has an element of talent but it would it would also be clear that he’s probably two or three years away

From being the finished product I don’t think that’s unfair he’s he’s he’s he’s has to develop so if we’re signing guys like that and we’re spending a million pounds on them whilst we’ve got 70 million sitting in the the bank he should be going to somebody else and

Playing you know we should be buying a guy like that and saying right well you know the mother will or hibs or something does somebody need a starter for him to go out and Loan and and then he can have one good game in three nobody’s you know some of the teams in

Scotland would be delighted about that cuz they watch like 10 bad games in no offense them but you know like two or three good games and four or five would be acceptable to some teams but it’s not Celtic you’ve got to perform every week

So I I think Yang will be a good player but the problem is is he actually good enough just now to play every week for Celtic and the answer to that for me is no so how I don’t know how we get into the South Ken Squad I was shocked I was

Like Yang in does he won a competition like a comp he’s not get many senior caps before this either it’s always been youth ones as well so I believe it yeah I don’t think K will go far in this Asia cup to be honest with you the more I’m

Thinking about it I don’t think they’ll go the H far with cinman at the helm and maybe a few of these we quirks in their preparations let’s say um we’re get a be out here for dos and for babes and all this kind of stuff as well I think when

It comes to left back forget Josh do like he’s nice he’s a we Scottish Prospect up and coming could be the next hickey could be the next whoever I get it same with Louis Ferguson same with John mcin same with all of these guys they’re only who they are because of the

Experience they’ve got playing in Italy soon as they come back and they play on the bench for Celtic or something they’re going to go back to being that guy F hibs or whatever they came you know or that’s just what happens you know these players that do have a bit

More talent and a bit more foresight they really do need to go abroad you know and or you know I say abroad but even got the English championships a huge level up on football than most other places you’re likely to go um so I think what you get for do I don’t think

Celtics signing him is good business at all I don’t think we get good value for our money and signing someone like him I don’t think you get really what people think they get because he’s played in Italy for a year to he still been playing every week all the time as well you

Know and bnab I think would be perfect for that that loan out treatment maybe in Scotland maybe on the continent but he’s definitely someone that should get pumped out online yeah the problem with do is they they spent like two and a half or three million on him now they

Want five or six so they want they they want to make a profit on him but that doesn’t mean that he’s actually worth five or six he’s probably has still a guy who’s maybe worth two or few million but obviously defin not worth five or to

Us no I don’t you know I mean like the development he’s had for like a year is not that great you know where we’re going to pay that amount for him but that amount we should be looking for a yanovich an Alis Johnson you know like a

Guy that is the best in his League or breaking into a strong national team yeah the other thing as well is that if we have a strategy of having some development players it doesn’t mean that every single player we sign has to be a development player right so yeah

There no no rle to say that everybody we sign’s got to be under the age of 23 or 24 like so why not like go and look at you know like the catian league and by like Marco laaj or something from hauk you know a guy who puts up like goals

And assist numbers into the 20s and 30s every single season get caps for Croatia um different type of player maybe fashi why don’t going buy somebody like that you know for a couple of million just buy some actual um Quality Maverick well exactly I mean I know

People said was on the Croatian league and all that sort of stuff but that’s a there’s a lot of talent in that actual League you know you guys there like you know he’s not really kicked on but oric was was really good for ages and you know you young guys that come through

There who end up been really good you look at the cretian um national team they’re always getting to quarterfinals and semi-finals and all that type of stuff you go and they play and they end up at Big clubs like Real Madrid and all that sort of stuff so um so yeah I think

Um we could and Jay mentioned about going you know maybe going back into the the J leag if we are going to go back into J League of the K League we’ve got to buy the absolute best players there you know not not not just the project the

Guies yeah well not the thing with the Gucci is I think that if if he wasn’t playing car McGregor’s position he would have shown that he’s actually a good player you know any of us seen him say looks like a good midfielder but he was just never really realistically going to

Get a lot of chances in that position because it plays in McGregor’s position and the same things kind of happened to where we weate we’ve seen he’s been J League player of the year he looks he looks as if he’s a really good physical player he’s other qualities um but he

Doesn’t get a chance and we did get a chance actually Celtic looks as if they were starting to play better you know because there’s different dynamic in Midfield and then he get injured which was a shame but you know he’s one I would keep um because I think

You know you’ve already signed him he had a period of kind of getting used to the Scottish game and all that sort of stuff and when he comes on he looks quite hungry to actually contribute something so I I would definitely um keep him the thing with turbo I know I

Always go back to that day when he started cut his ears and stuff I would I would have I would have let him leave that like honestly like see when you start doing that crap like all right I know he gets a bit stick or whatever but

What you do is you do you’re talking on the pitch and then you you work your way back you don’t start being a bit of a DI the fans and giving it the coupy of the years and everything and the fans don’t tend to forgive them for that um even

Though he can he contributes good amount of goals and stuff um but really is it time for us just to kind of move on and just say well you know he he’s got certain qualities but it doesn’t really suit what we’re trying to do with the

Team so I don’t think any of his like to see H The Players cup in the ear and all that but he clearly was listening to the episode epis where we had ET and Mark Patrick W and David turn was no two ways about it and he wanted to let us know

He’d heard those episodes he’s like I hear you CSC I hear you and look at this goal a fair play to him right but um for me I’m in I’m in the same kind of camp with you as is that some asked about it earlier and it never really got

Referenced but me and you were at the Darby match and I was me I was on your shoulder you’ll know this I watched them all the way after the final whistle Le didn’t applaud the fans didn’t engage with the fans hid at the back of the crowd drinking his weed water bottle

Just kept on go he was like a SIMS character you know he had like three frames he would go through walking and then spray the water and then like do a funny walk and then spray the water like go all the way around the pitch didn’t applaud

Anyone retion I there was I think it was like maybe three players come on the first two come on it was quite clap and everybody all really you know gave him a brilliant reception and stuff as well so um I I don’t know I mean he he’s a lot younger

Than tble as well tbo’s what 24 or whatever now I B is still 20 21 um there’s a lot a lot going on terms of his country it’s it’s it’s terrible obviously to see all that type of stuff um some again I’m not defending him but

Like you know as long as he comes out of that it’s okay just don’t find that as bad as going about and giv it that type thing you know um oh no of course but I think that’s a real signal of they’re probably checking out you know Turbo’s a

We bit of giving it like hey what’s that what’s that because he knows he’s probably he’s not gonna be here that much longer you know um and aad I kind of get that feeling as well he’s kind of checked out what the thing with though is that he’s as you said this before

Like he he appears in a lot of metrics he gets goals all that stuff and he he has a real transfer value as well so if if a really doesn’t want to stay then he’s one of the guys you could let go now I he people saying no I’ll

Realistically Matt Ry and I’ll be here next year well see if a wants to go why don’t you just sell aada and keep Matt Ry and just whoever comes in with 20 30 million or whatever say well we don’t need it we’ve had x amount in for a b

And even do a deal similar what we’ve done with Fong where you sell them you get a good amount of money in and you you you have some sort of sell on Clause as well so if he goes on to do as well as we think he can do because we’ve seen

He’s goal scoring and everything then you know he would he would have a good resale as well and hopefully we’ll have that as well F FR pong’s got what they’re saying got 40 million euro um release clause in the summer that will 100% be triggered by somebody CU see him

And Grimaldo that’s the best fullback combination in the whole Europe at the moment or the world they’re absolutely brilliant and somebody will sign him there’s no two ways about it like if lever cin managed to get a deal done where they buy that CLA out they’ll have they’ll have won a

Watch because he’s been absolutely brilliant and he’s been linked to be like Arsenal Real Madrid everybody so you know and Celtic got a sale on there so there could be another couple of million you can’t Bank on it you might not go but you know I would be hugely

Shocked if that if that Clause doesn’t go in the summer and stuff so that that could be more money to put towards another project as we call it you’re coughing again quenny boy that’s been a rough Celtic fans have been selling that Jeremy frong sell on

Fee for years last two or three years been cashing that in then um it’s not quite came yet we had Thomas Burns asking as well um should we be worried I think we should be worried that nothing’s happened already this month I like the ones we mentioned it ear on the

Stream I like that there has been some outgoing kind of sorted already McBride’s brought up right as at the beginning of the stream but I was also really shocked to hear that we were trying to get SE into Str grants or that deal was trying to get moved on it’s a

Much better team that I thought would have been interested in in seist um and ultimately the player rejected that one so it’s good to see that there is a bit of housekeeping getting done maybe some of these guys are a bit heavy on the wage B but I would have thought we would

Have had somebody in the first week that was a manager signing that was rogers’s Guy some days like after the stuff that we’ve seen so far this season was uh right the window opens by him for me maybe the one thing with Rogers is he’s going to be looking at a quality player

Probably come with high wage so my only thinking from that point of view is maybe if we move a few of these guys on it will actually then release money within Squad I mean we’ve got a lot of money in the bank and stuff but we’re still operating to a budget of some

Description it’s not like we’re just going to say well who’s going to pay something 150,000 a week or whatever 70 million in the bank we’re operating a a club we operating under Financial fair play and all that sort of stuff so if you get rid of sagis you get rid of

Iguchi um tumble apparently wants a wage rise to stay or whatever um so is he worth it probably not um so you know no later in the summer maybe he goes or maybe even somebody pays half a million or a million for him just now and you

Put that money back in the pot um you will never get rid of James McCarthy I we’ll be here in about five years time we’re still talking you’ll be on the wage book he’ll be a coach he’ll still be in 20 grand a week or what like you

Know that was a a terrible deal like I don’t know how we managed to to sanction that deal but we we’ve got a lot of players we’ve got we’ve got um a lot of players on the books and a lot of guys who don’t even get in squads when

Everybody’s all fit so if you put that thing up again you take the players back from the Asian cup which is on for a couple of games Chuck everybody in you could make two that you could make two distinct teams and then still have a bench

Um and if you look at a lot of top managers they say we want really kind of 15 16 core players or maybe like two players per position but nobody ever says we need a squad of 30 players or whatever it’s just it’s too bloated yeah without the as a Cup

Players this screen is shown as they now so yeah and I think somebody else mentioned in the chat when you look at the depth there isn’t that many areas that are without cover and that’s fine one thing that’s nice about this squad status that we get to as long as the

Club do actually well I like the the guci move we loan him out there he does well we sell him to a bigger team for money um Kobe Ashley could go the same way hopefully as well but that’s the sort of strategy we should have with the

Lagger beys and you know whoever else gets shift shifted out um in an economic sense you know so because like ax is all the big clubs all the weak clubs everyone in between they’ve got to generate transfer revenue and we can’t sell a Jeremy thong and a onson Edward

And everything that every summer as We Know and you can only start to loan players out that can be sold if you’re a crewing stock and the Academy’s not been given his stock to you know go into the market with as it were so I don’t mind this

Bulk up if the club like asset manage well you know and don’t just barcast it all up yeah I mean that’s what’s good with the lagger B links to Italy right so he getes over there and he he plays pretty well whatever I’m not saying you’re gonna make a profit on him but

You’re not going to lose money on what you spent on him when you when you bought the summer because he’s a young Defender and you you can say well all right you want this guy you do it for owner with Josh do and say well we paid

Three million we’re not selling them for any less that you know get that get that money in for him um I a lot of this stuff is I think is also generated by the media because he’s not in squads as well so we’re assuming that that these

Things are all legitimate but they all Harper back to the point where Roger says they’re not showing enough in training to be in the team or whatever and then he leaves them out the squad but it makes perfect sense that you wouldn’t want three center backs in the

Bench in a normal game like just just just doesn’t make any sense so there are games and then fair play you know as soon as um Philip started he Shenanigans he was chopped you know he was he was Celtic didn’t even say oh thanks very much for your time here or whatever just

Like he left and then he seen him and he was training Liverpool again it was just like right we’ve moved on for that nobody’s bothered he’s away so again you’ve released his wages back off the the wage bill again and you can criticize that move but we really needed

A Defender at that point we had like no fit CER with scales and that was it at that point there was just were ravaged by injury yeah so it made sense to sign an experience Center back at that point because we were just really struggling

In that area and we’re not now so so fers cross me I think hopefully we’re not as unlucky with injuries and stuff because we’ve had a lot of significant injuries this season so and back to Vickers we we don’t have as heavy a schedule now as well right so there’s no

Real let me ask M bra quickly if you don’t mind on this one here is there a willow flood out there is there a guy in the in the league that you would take into the team don’t say let’s say meowski aside because that’s just boring

Um and no no Owen Beck because he’s the way back to Liverpool we’ve already mentioned him I think there’s some talented players in the league like I I I quite like the boy Clarkson that um aberin I don’t know if he would fit in Midfield or whatever I think he’s a good

Player um I think actually watching aine I think like I’ve been impressed with Duke um from time to time as well he’s been kind of more dropped recently they’re they’re talking about him maybe getting a move abroad as well and I think that he’s um he’s he’s pretty

Interesting what what that of struck me was that when he was playing and Aline was playing in the more defensive shape he he worked quite hard as well um so from him lenon Miller he’s only like what 17 or whatever now so again he’s more one for

The um for the future um the the the boy Armstrong totally roasted as the guy for kuk he he kind of roasted us but you’ve seen before where Celtic and Rangers Go and sing guys like can’t remember the guy played with Rangers played with kuk

And he moved to Rangers and he was just rotten he horrendous every old F games so I can’t remember his name he was a right winger but it doesn’t always kind of work out that way that was Johnson was that Alan Johnson I think it wasn’t he was rubbish

Oh was he he know he used to play with K right because I think Rangers signed him from kok I’m pretty sure but I mean there’s there’s not there’s not a lot of standouts um I suppose from a stking point of view shanklin’s the guy who’s put up the

Numbers and stuff but I don’t I just don’t see that as a deal that Celtic would be looking to do um it would definitely give you something different from fashi but I don’t think at like three to five million that that really makes any sense for us to be honest um I

Think he’s a Rangers Fan as well from what I hear so how you may may know what to come anyway um what be you you anybody you see in the Scottish League that you think might be somebody we can take on I think that Lena Miller’s probably a standout um on

Beck is probably the easy one of course but I don’t think that’s going to happen I think he’ll go back to Liverpool and probably kpp will get a sense of him and probably have him that’s s he’s not that great you know I mean Rob was fit Rob

Was number one anyway so yeah could see that Beck hanging about the bench for a while who knows um so yeah that’s why I thought it been interesting question because I don’t really think there’s that many players around the league that are like a willow flood or a Scott

McDonald or a we you know a guy that you know is actually like oh yeah he is pretty good but he plays for mother well or he plays for dundy United or something that you could just oh yeah if he did throw Le Griff sent the team

He’ll scored you some goals you know or Anthony Stokes or whoever we’ve had over the years I don’t really I say even the miosi show I don’t I don’t think he has that in him I don’t think he’s got that level to to move up and I I don’t I

Don’t see there being any of those guys about the guy that’s like mid 20s that you I say you maybe know what you’re going to get for your money out of it it be more like the the lon Miller or get the Josh do before he goes to Verona or

The Aron hickey before he goes to bolognia or something because that l Miller at 16 17 he’s been given a six-year contract or something that’s AR no fools yeah so they’ll be waiting to sell him for a couple of mil to somebody in the next couple of years so um also

Le as well I also thought D le was a good player hi really done anything recently which kind of um that’s kind of interesting but because like when you seen him play for it was dund United was that before was it like he he looked pretty good and you

Thinking like he’s type of guy where we could have like spent 300,000 on him and just actually loaned him out for a couple of years to other Scottish clubs and seeing how he developed you sort of bringing him back even guys like you know remember Ryan Christie I know he

Eventually mov but he he went un loan to abine and he he was doing well and then he actually came back and won a place in the Celtic team that type of thing so so yeah might be a much but I think we maybe maybe it’s time to look at um

What’s worked for us as well you know um or’s coming from England not even a high level in England they one of the lower leagues in England you know there’s Lads of good players down there if you’re looking for a center back you know pet but like kind of pushed himself out of

An academy into a first team he didn’t he want you know he wanted first team football so I know we got him from MK Dons and stuff that but he was playing Premier League 2 like Category 2 premier league football you football kind of stuff you know yeah I know it’s like oh

We got from MK Dons but he was just a mad motivated guy it’s like I’m not sitting in you football I’m playing first team football Toronto um so it’s different that’s important thing as well getting getting somebody who actually he’s not he’s not like Gary Hooper just to say you know

He’s not like a Hooper who’s been like scoring goals for scun Fort but all that and then then you buy him Ian Tori or whatever you know yeah different stitches you know no definitely there’s definitely players out there though um see we don’t we don’t have the type of

Revolving Talent Factory like a salsburg or whatever we’re not we’re obviously not as good at it as the likes of those teams because they have people who are used to training up young players and even when they’re young talented coaches go they’ve got another guy lined up to

Come in and do the job and even with that like salsburg are pretty you know pretty average this season you know they’re not they’re not anywhere near as good as they were but previous seasons are they’re developing guys like howand and cesco and you know like Cra Crazy s of really top level

High level talents guys that you know could go pretty much all the way in football type things so so yeah I think I not say we abandon this strategy that’s worked where we buy guys and you know we buy them at a good age and they’ve got good resale value but it’s

Just time to actually say right where’s the areas we need to improve and who do we buy that actually improves us there and just start working on who’s who’s got the best qualities to get position not who who is under 23 or who’s going to be sold on for later just actually

Spend a few million just making the team better um and moving forward because we we come out that bad spell pretty well you know we’re not miles clear or anything anymore but we’ve come out of it and put the foot in the accelerator I think it cannot

Be oh no no no they can get linked with him they can get linked to him no no no no no no no no no no I seen they’re pulling off some sort of Miracle to get rid of Lamers and UT and see soon as I

Seen that I thought utre just much be like that guy know just comes up to Glasgow every transfer window any players going for nothing pal any players for nothing much money to that take I’ve seen um there was a a rumor that yumas might get moved on from Rangers so they

Might like M sort of cash in get a few million back for him and and move on from there so you know that’s that’s kind of I can see why Rangers might be linked with a left back if one of those guys have got left back is is going to

Move on but I don’t care what they do it doesn’t matter the league is in our hands now we’ve won both of the old F games I thought we were far superior in terms of team when we played them at Celtic Park we had all the spell of well

You know we’ll do this we’ll do that you know you know we’re in a sense we’re going to go there and we’re going to hammer Celtic and none of that actually happened we played well um so let’s just focus on our own business and let’s no think about any of that our stuff

Because see if we do the business ourselves none of that stuff will actually matter to us so yeah true but it is um we’re ask get we are skating on fin ice you know what I mean like this is a really important transfer window because as soon as the transfer window

Closes like we know the problems in the team I don’t need to play this long again but Brandon we need a goalkeeper and a left back um it’s murder in the back four don’t we all know it and nth for January McBride I’m sure me and

You’ll be back doing this next week at some point yes I’m sure between now and then there’s no there’s no action there’s no s so5 action on the leader boards the green and white Hoops are in training getting their XP up and all that good stuff so we’re we’re basic

We’re a waiting new faces we want new cars we’re waiting to see transfers get actioned and yeah sadly we’re almost a thir of the month done and nothing nothing happening yet it’s been an absolute pleasure mate yeah than for coming and apologies again for 15 minutes late we were around at 7 o’cl

But nothing was working so that was Gremlins apologies but thanks everybody for your patience yeah have a good one everyone he he he he
