    It was just announced Gary Cahill is leaving as a free agent after his Palace contract expired today.
    Now here's a player we HAVE to go after!!!

    He's done it all with Chelsea, inc Champions League winner - a proven winner at club and European level, plus 60-odd caps for England. Amazing resume and available to Celtic right now

    I think we all saw yesterday, our centre defence just can't compete...… couldn't even dominate Hearts forwards, FFS

    A super-experienced and super fit Cahill would galvanize our entire back-lie and give them some confidence, and any numbskull knows you can't have a successful team without a good defence.

    Hopefully our player recruitment team is on the phone with Cahill's agent as we speak. He'll be in demand so we must act with speed and determination, to give us a fighting chance this season

    Just seen he’s been released, think it would be a no brainer to try and sign him, bar wages he would offer loads to us.

    Cahill would be a great addition but he was on 70K+ at Crystal Palace, he’s not taking a 50% wage cute to come up here, he’ll get offers from other EPL teams.

    My issue is that we knew we needed bodies even before anybody left. We knew those leaving would need to be replaced.

    Those we have loaned to cover certain positions, have given us 6 months to a year to find a long term solution. Yet we have done nothing.

    I'm shocked we haven't looked to get any bosmans in. None. There are plenty of decent players out there but it just shows that we do not have any recruitment strategy or process in place.

    It's an embarrassing predicament we find ourselves in as even a semi-pro outfit would have something in place. At any time we should have a list of 20+ players for each position that should be reviewed constantly, ready for any eventuality. It's not rocket science.

    20+ players per position?
    Hammy mate we'd be lucky to have 20+ players at this rate :56: nah but seriously I get your point but who would've recruited these guys we made a decision on our manager last month after our '1st choice' dicked around. Ange should've been brought in in January or March or ... before last month ffs guy seems like he's being set up

    Palace fan here. Cahill played two seasons with us and that first season he was incredible. Last season there was a noticeable drop-off in performances however, and he had a few spells out with injury. I think he'd still be a good signing and he's definitely a leader. He's pretty good on the ball too. The main concern would be his recovery pace playing high in Ange's system. Namely, he doesn't have any.

    Regardless, as somebody previously mentioned, he was on something like £75K a week. So likely to sign for another EPL team, assuming someone is willing to offer him a two-year deal, which is apparently what he's after.

    Hart and Mccarthy signed. Buta probably to follow.

    17 players by next summer coming.

    Seems to me the two biggest and most urgent positions will be filled once again with loans.

    Surely we couldn't do worse in that regards then by attempting a move fire Maitland-Niles?

    I know he’s linked with premier league clubs but some of them are absolutely brutal. Ademola Lookman would be a shout for a loan

    Patrick Roberts just do it. I don’t care about how he’s played elsewhere really - he done the business for us. We really need some depth on the wings having had no outright wingers for the majority of last season.
