If we get the signings in and everyone is fit what do you think our strongest starting 11 will be..?
If our loan signings hit the ground running? I think Delia might go for:-
GORDON
IZZY
VIRGIL
DENAYER
LUSTIG
JOHANSEN
BROWN
McGREGOR
BERGET
SCEPOVIC(am I tempting fate?)
MUBARAK
Commons, Stokes, Mulgrew, Efe, Tonev, Forrest, Mathews and a new LB will all play their part too!
Any thoughts? Quite like the look of this squad presuming they can all settle!!:shamrock:

I think tonev might have that bit of class
We are looking & could fit into attacking 3 -
Hope so.. Berget has settled very well so didn't want to leave him out..I'm more excited about Mubarak for no apparent reason!! Hopefully they will both do well!:shamrock:

Looks a decent side :50:

Looks decent. Kayal and Biton are also decent backup and maybe one of them will be used away from home in European games.

I think you are a tad premature , some of these are not even in Scotland . I would prefer to see a player playing a few times until I would make any judgement on a player . Debayer has played a couple of games and it's not clear that he is Celtic class yet .
-
Gordon
Lustig Denayer Van Dijk Izzaguire
Brown Johansen
Tonev McGregor Mubarak
Stokes
Subs: Fasan, Matthews, Ambrose, Biton, Scepovic, Berget, Mulgrew
The reasons for Forrest not being in my 18 is because he is injured quite a bit but when fit i am sure he will be in 18.
I think Zaluska, Pukki, Boerrigter, Balde, Commons and Griffiths could all leave before next monday night.
But if you were to ask me the now then i would have Tonev and Mubarak in there because they bring more pace from what people have said.

Officer Doofy Come to me, human man Gold Member
If he's sticking with 4231 then:
Gordon
Lustig Denayer Virgil Izzy
Biton Johansen
Wakaso McGregor Tonev
Scepovic
Of course, that's assuming the three new attackers are as good as I'm hoping. -
Debayer aye.
-
Biggest week of our season already lets hope
we can see delia's team mixing with the best
that europe has to offer. -
Forgot all about Kayal he's looked sharp so far this season, not sure about Bitton.:50:
-
-
Anyone who has seen Denayer in the flesh can see the class he has..I've no issues with him.. Defo a bit speculative with the others, just hope we get them over the line and they settle!:shamrock:
-
Broonie will play when fit!:50:

Didn't notice you mentioning "when fit".:50:
Brown in for Biton then. -
Cant believe people on here picking a strongest 11 including players we have not even seen playing in our team , most also leave out our most dangerous player infront of goal , commons , also the player of the year , deynar is no better than ambrose atm and possibly will show up worse in cl matches , experience is key in these games and he has none .
commons is also one of our best at assists and can split a defence , he does suffer a poor first touch at times though but is the person most likely to score a goal and most have binned him for some reason , he isnt slower this year , infact I think he is fitter and doing more running , for me if we want to progress he has to play at least an hour .
I would play gordon lustig ambrose deynar vvd izzy johansson mulgrew mcgregor commons berget .
in berget mcgregor and commons mulgrew there is enough goal threat and enough in defence also with this set up , if its still 0 0 at an hour I would take off berget and put on stokes . -
I love Commons but not sure Delia fancies him as he didn't play him in our most important game so far..With everyone fit he will play a dynamic 4-3-3 not sure Kris will fit into this system..
Ambrose is a liability at European level, Denayer is young but looks to have real class even this early on.. :shamrock: -

Id be happy with that squad. Badly need to get rid of players then :bbpd: to Fraser, Irvine, Herron, Boerrigter, Atajic, Fridjonsson, Balde and Pukki. Get those 8 out the squad as we'd still have Fisher, O'Connell, Findlay, Waters, McGeouch, Twardzik, Rogic and McMullen, as young back-up.

I don't see how it's possible to include players like Tonev and Mubarak in a strongest 11 when one hasn't played and one hasn't even signed. :smiley-laughing002:

Assuming everyone is injury free and our signings all turn out good:
Gordon
Lustig Denayer VVD Izzy
Brown Johansen
Tonev McGregor Mubarak
Scepovic -
Not exactly an 11 but a contribution none the less.
Whether you agree with the player positions is up to yourself. I didn't put McGregor in the hole or deeper in midfield as from what I've seen he's played that inside right run quite a lot.
Obviously the outside left and rights and either insides or wingers.
