    Morning folks.

    Just read about that cretin Halliday leaves the zombies, and was wondering if anyone knows who will potentially leave us shortly when their contract is up?

    The only 2 I think might be is Gordon and Hayes. Are there any more?

    Also, has there been any word on what’s happening with loans and whether they’d be extended? Might be too early for this though!

    of all that maybe Hayes and Jozo as we hold an option of 1 year on Jozo contract to stay.

    Jozo will get an extension because he#s saleable, Hayes will get an extension because he's useful.

    Gordon will be gone.

    Hopefully get Forster on a perm but the rest of the loanees will be gone to, devastated we didn't get to see more of Ely.

    Yeah but might as well get him off the wage bill. If we play with wing backs, he doesn’t really fit in so it’s not a huge loss I guess!

    And I actually think it’ll be easier to retain Forster. Southampton will want us to cover the wages, and other clubs will be hesitant to buy him (I’m assuming) just with the whole uncertainty just now.

    Simunovic & Hayes i reckon we'll keep.

    I'd love to get Forster back and I think that will be the priority when the window opens.

    I want to see Ely back next season. When he was fit he was incredible, scored some important goals for us and added something different.

    I think Hayes will definitely stay because he’s a useful player, seemingly popular in the dressing room and I would imagine he’s not on a huge salary.

    Simunovic I think will depend on how much he’s on but I would think we would take a year option if it’s there just as a bit of cover if the transfer market is volatile.

    I’d love to see Forster and Elyounoussi back but I can’t see it happening purely because of finance. They’ll both need to be replaced though.

    Well why not bring in Dembele to replace Elyounoussi seems sensible and might convince dembele to stay with us longer. Hayes possibly hard to tell we have 2 LBs maybe he want's to play more would give him a year or 2. if we sell ajer will keep simunovic for sure.

    I know in these times it's hard to tell what's going to happen but I hope we explore every possibility into keeping Forster

    It is all but a done deal that Gordon and Miller will leave on free's. I think more likely then not that both Hayes and Simunovic will be offered new deals. I would be very surprised if Hayes left. Simunovic I imagine it could go either way even if we take up his 1 year extension option.

    Of the loans like everyone pretty much I would love to see us find a way to keep Forster and Elyounoussi outright or maybe even get them back on another season long loan.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if players whose contracts are ending are given short extensions or offered them so that transfer fees can be put elsewhere. Players like Hayes would end up on a * contract with Aberdeen if they said no.

    Started both of Lennon's Cup wins. Was playing as wb ahead of Bolingoli. The past year has seen Hayes play his biggest part in a Celtic shirt.

    At his age i think the club have done him a small favour by not taking the year option. He is a decent player and i think he will have no problem finding a new club, especially on a free. He also can secure himself a 2 / 3 year contract which he would never have got at Celtic.

    Decent player, gives his all every time. Covid situation has not helped his chance of staying but at his age this might be in his best interests in securing a longer deal and maybe a signing on fee.

    In these circumstances it probably suits both parties but missing out on the TEN must be gutting for him
