    I figured Kenny was trialing a lot of youngsters to get an Irish team for the future so fortunately I don't think he will head off for international matches.
    Honestly when you look at the hun, their 2 star players were guys in their 30s, one couldn't get a game for Southampton and one played in the championship for Hull. I don't see why experience can't do it for us. Todays 2 signings are good additions, obviously we still need more but I'm happy with them.

    I honestly don't know why we are signing him at all. He doesn't seem like an Ange type player.

    only assuming he would be on something between 35-50 a week at palace?
    it depends what palace are saying to him and how long is contract he has to go etc.
    if he wants more playing time and a new challenge celtic is a good fit considering he is a fanatic

    mc gregor saved them in so many league and European games last season
    hopefully hart can do that for us.
    my fear is we need lots of goals and clinical strikers eddie situation needs resolved asap, no more sulking

    He'll be the target for heavy tackles by hmwr throwers (knowing fine well he is prone to injury), I expect injuries through the season, hopefully well protected and gets us through games whilst on the pitch.

    If he was that mad a fan I'm sure he had moments along the way when he could have come here. Without that 4 year deal he'd be elsewhere imo. That's the only way we are offering that for someone that age. Unprecedented for us and basically bcos we are obviously desperate to get bodies in the building.

    Him and hart are good additions and good financial business at a time where we were seriously lacking leaders. McCarthy will have to be managed but with soro and Shaw there that should easily be done. Don't necessarily buy they aren't Ange players McCarthy is technically good and just because guardiola doesn't want you playing it from the back doesn't mean you can't do it either.

    The amount of senior players over the years that have left here bcos we refused to give them more than a 1 year deal was criminal at times. Ones that still had loads to offer. We were/are renowned for it. McNamara being a prime example. Brown was on a rolling deal for the last few years as well.

    This is well out or comfort zone and shows either a change in policy or it's sheer desperation.

    Get those 3 players fit and form and that is a strong midfield.
