    I agree about Kouassi but he has a long term injury and I imagine it will be a while yet before he can kick a ball nevermind stepping onto the field.

    Why is Mulumbu a wee *?

    You need 18 players to fill the bench. Why do you think 22 is too many. 4 extras would never cover injuries and suspensions. Reality is you need 30 for a 60 plus game season.

    He only likes a tweet to be fair, massive overreaction by some, maybe he knew he’s going to fail up here :fear:
    No chance he’s feeding Boyd anything I think, fat * just makes * up like the rest of the media who claim to have a ‘source’.

    Is he actually training with the reserves?

    It was a smart move bringing him, might work out in the end since we know he can boss a midfield, maybe the move here went to his head.

    Very bloated, luckily. Because with the amount of injuries and players frozen out we'd be really struggling if it wasn't!

    There's not enough quality there. Simple as that.

    I remember when Rodgers arrived I was excited at the prospect of him clearing the squad and putting a proper stamp on it with personel. He still hasn't done so 3 years down the line. Lustig and Izaguirre were our starting full backs on Wednesday fs.

    I also remember him going on about wanting a 23 man squad he could rely on. Still don't have that.

    He's constantly contradicted himself in every transfer window.

    I think after the first season we had to make more changes, But were obviously reluctant to given the successes. Which makes sense in a way but on the other hand you cannot stand still and we have been very guilty of that.

    Yes we have a worryingly big wage payout due to the amount of players we have on big money. The total is far too big for a club of the finances of Celtic. In Celtics yearly financial report it showed we have done very well off the pitch apart from a money eating wage bill that if is allowed to continue could do the club some serious damage. Comper , Kouassi, Mulumbu etc they need to go even if it means cutting our losses, in the long run it will be better for the club.
