The end of season clearout

Boyata, Ambrose and CKR.

Armstrong, Lustig, Bitton, Johanson and Brown will all come good again next year under new management and proper rest.

 

Bitton, Boyata GMS and Johansen should be the first out the door, the way they shat themselves yesterday should never be forgotten

 

Keep:

Gordon
Bailly
Fasan
Simunovic
Sviatchenko
Tierney
Lustig (preferably at CB)
Janko
Rogic
McGregor
Bitton (if a reasonable bid comes in, bye bye)
Roberts
Christie
Henderson
GMS
Commons
Griffiths



Punt:

Blackett
Boyata
Ambrose
Izaguirre
O'Connell
Fisher
Findlay
Johansen
Forrest
Cole
Ciftci
Stokes



Ifs, buts and maybes:

Brown
Mulgrew
Armstrong
Allan
Kazim-Richards
Scepovic (don't care what anyone says, there's a player in there)

 

I swear I said the same thing yesterday. Those days were shocking, but this, this, is unbelievable. Least we could string a pass together. Anyone else actually looked at our scoring stats? They're ridiculous too. If The Griff got injured, then we'd be even more rooked.

1. Griffiths: 37
2. Commons: 9
3. Rogic: 9
4. Bitton: 9

The other two barely get a game either.

 

I'd keep:

Gordon
Tierney
Sviatchenko
Mulgrew
Simunovic
Rogic
McGregor
Brown (He probably only has a year or two left in him at Celtic, he doesn't deserve to be punted)
Bitton (As above, i'd sell for £5m)
Armstrong
Roberts
Griffiths

 

That attitude towards Brown is part of the problem. If he's not got it anymore he deserves to be punted immediately. That's the way it works, we're not a charity. He's out highest earner, if his legs are gone and he can't play a pass get him punted so we can get a better player in.

Celtic have been very good to Brown throughout his career and there's a good chance he'll have a non-playing career here too, but * paying him 20k+ per week just to embarrass himself against a * Sevco.

Apart from that, I'd punt Armstrong and McGregor off that list. I've said it all season, we're too happy to keep players because they have a good 20 minutes every couple of games just to get by. If they're not good enough get them moved on so we can get someone else in.

 

WBA supposed to be after Forrest and Mulgrew.
Good.
Only ..................loads still to go.

 

I think Brown helps coach the Celtic youths.
If so and he is finished as a Celtic player then he may want to carry on as a coach here.

 

Honestly keep Sviatchenko Tierney Rogic and Griffiths really not fussed about the rest

 

I'd probably keep Sviatchenko, Rogic, Simunovic, Tierney, Roberts (loanee) and maybe Izaguirre. I think the club should be actively looking to off-load as many of the others as they can.

 

No Griffiths ? That's gratitude for you, one of the very few who actually gives a XXXX !!

 

No. I'd be delighted to use his very impressive goal-record against the likes of Hamilton and Inverness this season as way of getting a good few million from a club in England.

 

Id always keep someone who wants to be here, fights for the team and supports his team-mates.

I will take a small core of fighters and build on that, rather than a squad of chancers thanks

 

Fair enough. But I just don't see him as that kind of player.

I think he's selfish, greedy, lacks intelligence on and off the pitch and doesn't have the quality to be leading the line at a club like Celtic.

 

I think we have a great core of players, that a good man manager/motivator like MON, Lennon, WGS could do * wonders with.

They may not be up to much right now and of course they all can't play in the team at the same time, but the likes of GMS, Armstrong, Rogic, Bitton, McGregor, Allan, Christie, Tierny, Jozo, Erik, Griff, Stokes, among others I've forgot to mention could work wonders under the right manager.

Perhaps Deila lost the team but i don't think there needs to be a massive overhaul just ship out a few fringe players who aren't gonna play like Cole and sign another Striker to partner Griff and maybe another RB, CB and GK and if we can push it out a little more to bring in a LB and we've got a great team.

I just think the players have stopped playing Deila and as much as we hate players who do that it's all to common a thing now and it happens at near every club under certain managers.

 

There is hardly anyone I'd really be desperate to keep.

 

That would be my core to keep with the addition of Gordon (got our moneys worth and would provide good competition or back up if we were to get a new no.1) and Armstrong, who i think should be judged after a sustained run of games in the center of midfield.
Id maybe say GMS could be a really useful squad player in the SPL also.

 

I was thinking about this the other day & came up with a long list, then disregarded it. I think every player at the club will get a fair chance under a new manager. We have all been giving Lustig pelters for being past it but a different manager & formation may even be good for him, the same for all players except Ambrose for me

 

Agree with the above.
I feel a lot of players have been bought at a certain position and playing good in that position but when we get them we try and put them in another position. Play them in their favored and comfortable role and see how they do.

 

And he also has 37 goals in all games this season, which you can't complain about, no matter how you spin it.
