    Know nothing about him. If he's better than Christie then I'm happy enough with him to be a squad option.

    I don't think Wolf was ever really on tbh. Would've been the dream though.

    Bit worrying that potentially 3 out of 4 of these new signings will be away for the Hun game.

    No chance Ideguchi gets called up currently.

    Sounds similar to Hatate but we definitely need cover at CM

    Extremely. It’s tempering my excitement about what seems like great business on paper. Really feel we have to beat them & it will be a struggle without them all imo, Kyogo especially.

    Not good enough to shine Christie's boots I'd have thought, having watched him over the years. Very surprised. But what would I know; happy to be proven wrong.

    Out of the blue?

    I've been calling for Ange to sign him since the start of the Ange thread, so clearly Ange lurks on the forum.

    Perfect player for Celtic - non-stop, attacking, skilful, very dynamic. Just coming into his best years. Would absolutely love to get him.

    I really like him, technically very good. But his athleticism for such a young player worries me.

    I had never seen him prior to his injury, I’d be interested to see if he was similar prior to the injury.

    Im all for transfers but we could lose important players at very important times of the season.

    Out of the 4 he's probably the one I'd be less worried about on paper :giggle1:.

    I like targeting these areas but as someone posted elsewhere we need a mixture.

    I think, if we sign Mcgree, we're definitely there in terms of midfield.

    Got guys like Mcgregor, Mcgree who can bring Energy, guys like Turnbull, Hatate, Rogic who can unlock a defence and guys like Ideguchi, Bitton to control the midfield.

    It's quite exciting, only thing I'd say we're maybe missing is a Wanyama-like CDM, but that's being greedy.

    Not a Brummie, but an Aussie who's taken a keen interest in McGree since he moved to Birmingham.

    The manager there prior to Bowyer played him a bit then cast him aside, won't even mention his name, extremely dour defensive manager.

    Bowyer at least played him although I had the feeling that he needed to be convinced to. I think Ange knows his capabilities well, also helps that Ange has more of an attacking mindset.

    If you want to go back to the player suggestions thread page 31, there's a discussion I had with craigtheceltic regarding McGree.

    Needless to say I'm all in favour of signing him.

    Got to trust the manager here he will know all about the player and let's see what he can do and would never write off a player till he has a good number of games under his belt .

    Maybe PTSD but I'm still not sold on Bitton long term. Good squad player though I know.

    I agree I think someone a bit tougher but also with the quality to move about the midfield would be good.

    I seem to remember that McGree is very good at playing the channel balls. Kyogo may well thrive on that.
