    As I mentioned I don't see Edouard as an out and out number 9 and Ajeti is a much better all-round striker than Griffiths who has proven to be unreliable and shouldn't even be at the club.

    Interesting.

    As much as I can't be arsed with Griffiths I'd personally find it hard to say that as I've seen nowhere near enough of Ajeti and he's not proven much in a celtic shirt.

    What I would say is he hasn't had a sustained run in the team since he signed. That hasn't helped.

    One of Griffiths's biggest assets was his acceleration which he's lost, he also lacks the fitness levels to play in this side, Ajeti works for the team, can play with his back to goal, brings others into play and just as capable of scoring, it's a no brainer for me, Ajeti just offers a lot more to the team not to mention Griffiths's off field troubles and his unreliability.

    Griffiths was always overrated and heralded as some clinical finisher, he missed some amount of sitters under Deila then would pull out a miraculous goal late on and be heralded amazing his * finishing put us under pressure in games where we created so many chances but didnt score.

    I'd argue he was underrated for a lot of his time here. If he wasn't so unprofessional he could've made a much bigger impact for us.

    That 90s midfield would get absolutely waltzed through like they weren’t there.

    Elyounoussi would thrive under Ange's system.

    Don’t think that’s controversial at all. So would Ajer.

    I think he had the ability and work rate to do so but my big worry with Elyounoussi would be his lack of pace, and the amount of touches he looks to take before releasing the ball would potentially slow us down. I do think we need a left winger though.

    For £4-5m we would struggle to get a better option at LW.

    Could argue Lovric but he's an unknown quantity. Elyonoussi isn't.

    Would maybe try for another loan and see how he fairs in this set up. You'd see a different player IMO.

    Think his one touch football the year before was class, last year there was a severe lack of movement

    Mikey Johnston won't make it at our club, far too injury prone for a young player and only going to get worse, he has missed a whole load of crucial development time as a player being out injured and when he comes back within a few weeks he gets injured again, we should look to loan him out or release him and not renew his contract.

    Aye the football is just a sideshow to his personal life now you feel. I don't think his head is even in it anymore. He's missed too much football to get back to any sort of level for us and he'll never get the game time he needs here. Someone like Griff needs to be playing regular, he's the type that runs to fat easily and obviously has a lot of bad habits which doesn't help. Similar to Commons, wand of a left leg but by the end that's all he had and he ended up chucking it early. Even without all his distractions I think he was done as a player here anyway. Still shocked at the contract extension.
