    I'm torn with this guy, on the cheap he's worth a go but that shouldn't be the reason he ends up at Celtic.

    I'd love to say we could find better but without having to raid cunto's like City and Chelsea for their talented wasted youth and spunking £4mill or so I can't see any better homegrown alternatives.

    He’d do a job.. there’s a few games this season where his attributes could have helped us..

    Good wee player but not needed.

    I think he’ll go down south in summer and have a decent wee Championship/ Top of League 1 career.

    Not headed for the top. We can afford to miss out imo. I don’t think we will actually bid to begin with.

    Ntcham,eboue,brown

    Rogic,mcgregor mginn backup fighting for other spots.Both armstrong and biton may be sold.

    Im taking a guess with eboue hopefully by the summer were startin to see a first team player.

    Both brown and armstrong were a similer level to mginn when they signed.I said id give mginn a year in spl an hes impressd so far.2.5mill.And scot allan.An thats a mates rate.Maybe give lennon a pick of either johnston,euan henderson,aitchison,miller,For season loan all expenses paid,sweeten the deal.

    Would bring another up ncomer in along with mginn,with rogic future uncertain an brown gettin older

    That would likely be Christie then?

    If it requires this much debate, he's probably not good enough. We have enough quality in the midfield, all about fitting everyone in the right spot. Christie is still quality enough as well in my opinion, and Benyu isn't known enough to us but Rodgers brought him in under the radar, so he might have a future as well. Don't need McGinn.

    If he doesn’t come here I hope he goes for big money and it goes right to Lennon to replace the Huns.

    I can't see us paying hibs the money they want, he will end up down south and be.a very good player.

    Won't be the first time We will and have missed out on players going down south.

    I would really like to see him at Celtic.

    1 year left on his contract. Even if we show interest he can easily run his contract down 6 months and sign for free. Id think theyd sell for 1.5m.

    I still dont think hes good enough but atleast he shows grit and closes down like brown. Maybe thats what we are missing.

    Think people are wary of buying SPL when you think of the recent failures; Allan, Ciftci, GMS, doubts over Hayes and then Christie possibly not being in Rodgers plans.....Mcginn gets tarred with the same brush. For me though he has a bit more about him than most (although I think Chrsitie has the ability as well). Could def do a job for us imo.

    If that's the case about his contract then I would offer 2 million.

    I remember when we signed Brown for 4.5 million and though that was too much for the time and I think that McGinn is further along in his development from when we signed Brown and can see him possibly replacing him in the future.

    Watched him again against Hearts and now I’m thinking he’s definitely a player we should be looking at. He would give everything for the team and the club. You can never get enough of that.

    Maybe we could use Scott Allan potentially as a swap to offset the cost.

    Bring him in, another very good Scottish player who Rodgers can take to another level. Brown still has at least 1 more good season in him before he starts playing less.
    He wouldn't get Brown's position now, Brown's playing out his skin.
    BITTONS replacement in the squad.

    Everytime I watch him play I change my mind on him. He has physical attributes and drive/determination but I have doubts about him when it comes to ability for when we play in Europe.
    If we could pick him up for a few million it wouldn't be the worst idea but where would that leave Kouassi? Unless we plan on selling Bitton and Armstrong in the summer I can't really see him getting any game time.
