    It's probably time to cash in imo.

    A very good defender on his day but always felt he was slightly overrated. Plus his injury record is worrying in recent years.

    Fantastic signing though, no doubt about it.

    Totally disagree. As a club, we need to move on from that cash in mentality, he is one of the first names on team sheet and we should be doing everything we can to keep him. Imagine trying to replace him-especially given BR's track record with signing center half's? Nawrocki is a decent option as a right sided center half to be back up for CCV. His injury record is a tad concerning but should be manageable-things like resting from those * aweful plastic pitches.
    At the end of the day, we dont need the cash anyway, say we get 10M for him, just cannot see us going out and spunking that coin on someone similar that can slot in straight away.
    Cannot stress enough the importance of having a strong team going into the CL qualifiers-and like I sain, CCV would be one of the first names on team sheet.

    Our record at signing CBs is absolutely honking which gives me the fear.

    He’s our third best CB signing in the 25 years I can remember supporting the club behind VVD and Balde

    Aye we have an awful record with CBs.

    He's quite simply a must keep. If he leaves we will need to sign 3 CBs this summer.

    One to replace him, another left sided and I wanted one in to replace Nawrocki/Lagerbielke/Welsh spot.

    Ideally I'd keep Nawrocki over Scales but it seems likely the latter will stay.

    CB is a very tough position to scout for 90% of them are the same level, dozen a dime (Physical but with the odd clanger in them). There are very few elite ones. One or two errors and they are branded by fans and it's hard to recover the reputation then at a particular club.

    Said in rhe suggestions thread there but can see Dara O'Shea being linked particularly if he goes.

    Losing CCV, Maeda, Kuhn and Hatate in the one window would be a * nuke. Spine of your team away.

    Be very difficult to almost impossible to replace for where we are, what we can attract and how consistent he's been..

    From Ireland I think Dara O’Shea would be a brilliant signing. I just don’t think we can afford him.

    If he wants to leave, it's time to cash in I mean.

    There are players we could afford to lose. Guys like Kuhn, Hatate are both replaceable, despite how good they can be.

    For me, both CCV and Maeda are irreplaceable, should be doing all we can to keep them for another season at least, already going to lose a good few players this summer.

    We need to strengthen our team and not weaken it. Loosing CCV, Hatate and Maeda would weaken us greatly and you just know our recruitment team has been pretty * over the years with more misses than hits. If the club is really serious about going further in Europe, as well as dominating the Scottish game, then we need to keep our strongest players (unless they really want to leave the club) and build on it

    Another thing to add to this is no only are they irreplaceable to us and almost perfect for how we play, but i actually think we'd be pretty disappointed at the fee's we received for both..

    Maeda's probably worth 30 mill to us. His pressing, goals, assists and havoc would see him do well pretty much anywhere he went.....but i just don't think we'd get what the support probably value him at. More likely in the 20 mill region the board would accept i think..

    Carter-Vickers as well. A Rolls Royce to us but can't imagine we'd get more than 15 tops..

    Think this has been his best year injury wise.


    He’s had about 3 shaky games this season. And maybe one before hand. Hilarious that means to some people he’s getting inconsistent.

    I just re-read what you quoted, good on his day? His days any that ends in Y. @Lewis Kerr explain yourself man?:56:

    Lifting silverware has become a familiar feeling for Cameron Carter-Vickers in green and white as he prepares for yet another Scottish Cup final this weekend at Hampden.

    Before moving to Paradise, the defender was making an impression south of the border, with a number of impressive loan spells.

    However, the one missing piece of a strong start to his football career was that illustrious first trophy, which came in his first campaign at Celtic Park in 2021.

    Of course, the club which he moved to Paradise from that year was Tottenham Hotspur, who on Wednesday evening lifted some silverware of their own by winning the Europa League.

    That Spurs team was also managed by the man who brought Carter-Vickers to Glasgow, Ange Postecoglou, who the defender briefly touched upon when asked about that success, as the media looked ahead to Saturday’s cup final.

    He said: “It was good to see. I obviously watched the game. It probably wasn’t the greatest from an entertainment standpoint, but it is massive for Tottenham to get a trophy and for Ange as well.

    ‘He said he always wins in his second season, and he did that. So, I’m happy for him.’

    “I think the majority of us enjoyed working with him and wanted the best for him. Their Premier League season maybe hasn’t been great, and that is something they will need to work on going forward.

    “But for them to get over the line in a cup competition is great for him and does show what he can do.”

    With the focus quickly switching back to Celtic and this weekend's Scottish Cup final, the centre-back has become well accustomed to these occasions.

    Having won the trophy the past two seasons, the American internationalist is well aware of what it takes to taste success in the competition



    And Carter-Vickers is under no illusions of the task that lies ahead against Aberdeen as he stressed the importance of sticking to the game-plan.

    “We know the work is far from done,” he explained. “We still have 90 minutes or possibly 120 minutes to get over the line and get another trophy.

    “But for us, we are fully focused on that game now. All of our energy and thought process is going into that.

    “It’s about going into the game, having a clear mind-set and playing the game, not necessarily the occasion.

    “It’s important to always have an understanding, too, that at the end of the day, whatever is on the line, it’s a football match, which we’ve all played in lots of before.

    'So it’s just about sticking to the things that we have done all season.'

    “Cup games are unique in the sense that, for whatever reason, it might not always go one hundred per cent to plan.

    “We are expecting a difficult challenge and for Aberdeen to be right up for it. So we will have to make sure we are the same.”

    The feeling of winning trophies is one that will never get old for Carter-Vickers and his Celtic team-mates.

    So when he was asked if winning another Scottish Cup on Saturday would mark his best season at Paradise, it was tricky question for the defender to answer.

    With 90 minutes of football still to play, as Carter-Vickers has already stated, there is still plenty of work to be done.

    He said: “Different seasons are good for different reasons. Last season, we started out off in front in the league, we kind of got caught up, and then had a bit of a battle towards the end of the season.

    “It’s always nice to try and get those leagues over the line.

    'But if you are looking at performance wise, I think this has probably been one of the better seasons since I’ve been here.'

    “We’ve had progression in Europe, and I thought we had some really good performances in that.

    “Then if we win the treble, that is kind of the best you can do domestically.

    “Once you have had success and won trophies, and you have that feeling, it is one that you don’t want to let go of.

    “It’s a feeling that is hard to describe, unless you've done it, but it’s one that once you have had it, you want to repeat it.”
