    Riley McGree. An Aussie bloggers writes about the collapse of the move.

    I tend not to judge until we know for sure what the circumstances are. I'm not convinced we need him anyway but whatever the reason for the change we probably will never know the exact reasons for it not going through.

    January Transfer Window and Previewing the Second Half of the Season

    Been so busy the last few months with work that I've not been on the Forum much as I've simply not had the time. A few things to cover: first silverware under Ange, poor result against St Mirren resulting in a now 6 point gap at the top of the table, the Japanese Trio. So lets start with St...

    Where would Celtic rank in the EPL in terms of size?

    With the sort of TV money that English teams get, we'd be a completely different level of club. I genuinely think we would be able to compete for the Champions League after a few years of English TV money. I can understand us still being considered below Liverpool or Man Utd because they have...

    Kevin Nisbet to Celtic?

    It's a difficult one for me. I thought we were going to sign him in the summer and I've have been totally in favour of that. However, seeing how we now play under Ange I'm not convinced that Nisbet would fit. Does he have the stamina and energy required to play Ange-ball? Not convinced he does...

    RIP Walter Smith

    I remember growing up really disliking him.....because he was the Rangers manager....no other reason. Lol. Then I was actually routing for him at Everton and then he was Scotland manager of course where he did well but left too soon to go back and help Rangers again. Sad day in the footballing...

    DM and attacking midfield are probably the 2 positions where we need more cover. Any further additions should be looking to add quality over who we already have.

    Sergi Samper

    I'm not even sure he needs to find a club to match his style though. If he wants a move back to Europe then yes absolutely but he looks to be doing fine in Japan. I always liked Crosas but I don't think he really fitted into our style at the time. Strachan would have been the manager at that...

    Replied about him in your separate post.

    Neil Lennon. Legend or not?

    He should never have come back. That was always the wrong move for the club and for Lennon. Convenience is all it was! It's a tricky one in terms of whether he's still a legend. As a player I think most would say yes but as a manager I think many would now say no. Overall.....really depends what...

    Sergi Samper

    Not sure I'd quite call him another Jota. Jota is only 22, still very much finding his way in football. Samper is 26 now and will be almost 27 if we signed him early in January. Not sure what happened during his loan spells in Spain but clearly it didn't work out well for him as his market value...

    Fernando Henrique

    Oh we certainly have bought some dross but not often over the £3m mark. We went through a period of spending £2m-2.5m on players who just never became anything....Bangura and Balde both come to mind immediately! I'd really like to see someone like Henrique but yet to be convinced he's the right...

    Ralston's new contract. Good shout or bad show?

    He's made a few defensive errors but he's also saved our bacon a few times. Going forward he just lacks that bit of quality really, especially as the game keeps going and he's run himself into the ground. I'm trying to think how many times hes whipped in a cross and it's either found our player...

    Ralston's new contract. Good shout or bad show?

    His improvement this season his been unthinkable to be honest but there are still elements of his game that just aren't at the quality and level we really need especially to get anywhere in Europe. Absolutely not discounting his work rate and effort and maybe it would help to give him a bit of...

    Fernando Henrique

    Yeah I've watched the video but read differing opinions on what his stats show about his defensive ability. His range of passing is really good but balls in behind.....in domestic games how often do teams leave spaces like that for us to knock balls into? I just think that if I were the...
