    Its been blatantly obvious for some time that Rogic and Edouard cant play together in a high press. Simply dont have the work rate or tenacity.

    Its been a worry and its driving his price down.
    But 100%, all the top teams wont go near him now with the attitude he has shown and even the mid-lower teams will have doubts about his attitude.

    He never has played with a lot of heart. He doesnt win headers, he doesnt press or bust his gut, he doesnt get involved in the physical side of the game.

    Keep replaying that miss in my head. He nets that and we win that game hands * down. Most likely by a couple or a few goals too. Has * us massively today.

    That's exactly our problem. He's no a team player, neither is Christie.

    That hun side don't have anyone with the individual talent of either of them, but they go into every game v us ready for war and willing to fall on their sword for each other.

    We have * floating around pouting, moaning at their teammates. Trying to no to get hurt in case they get offered more money to go elsewhere.

    We need to get rid of these two imposters before the window closes or we'll be just as * as last season. It doesn't matter about replacing them, just get their arses out the door pronto.

    Spot on ! one of three ( two now gone thank *) who thought they were Mbappe and didnt want to be here. Ive wanted him out since he completely lost interest ( not that he ever had that much passion for Celtic) .

    Get him and Bitton out and we kick on

    Correction : just realised that * Boli-Boli is still on our books, so its only one ( Ntcham) gone.

    Get these three wasters ( Edouard , Boli and Bitton out asap please)

    Thats fair I think. As I have mentioned before while obviously I overall have liked Edouard as a player for us and he has been a good signing well worth the 9m we paid for him I have never been that excited about him as maybe some others have been. Just have never taken to him in the way say I took to and still like Dembele. Very disappointing today if that was his last game in a Celtic shirt that he did not do more. Even putting aside that absolute sitter he missed in the first half he really did not have much presence in the game at all.
    If the reports that we are getting offered something between 15-20m for him are true we without a doubt should take the money give PSG their 40% cut of the profit and take our cut and move on. Did some great things in the hoops. For me the best memory of him was the winning goal against the diets to win the treble treble. But at the same time maybe just because of his style ( as you describe above) I have never been that excited about him as a player.

    I agree. Iv never really been on board with the hype that some have given him. Good with the ball at his feet and facing up a player. Good finisher. No physicality, cant use his head, very hot and cold.
    his lack of work rate will hold him back.
    Moussa gave more and did it in bigger games.

    Could not agree more. He is a good player and it will be interesting to see how he does when he leaves as seems to be days away but I have never bought into the hype that he is something special.
    Agree with you about Dembele too.

    He's a wee boy. A wet blanket. Nice touch here and there. Couldn't finish his dinner. Didnt cause their centre backs a problem.

    I want a nuisance of a striker, someone who's gonna give them nightmares. Kyogo did a good job in the last 15 minutes. I'd also love to see a target man brought in, offer something different.

    Assuming he's not sold, if I was the manager I would be benching him from now on.

    There's no way around it now, he's been very poor and his performance today was a disgrace. I judge Ange for the minutes he gave him. He needs to be strong now and bench him.

    I can't see how you can put out a message of effort, press, tenacity, team spirit and still give Edouard minutes on the pitch. Why would you take that manager seriously? If I was a player I certainly wouldn't respect Ange if he kept playing him.

    If Edouard was a bit lazy and off message but delivered loads of magical moments then maybe you would understand, but he was a clown today and has been * up simple things for a long time now. There's no way you can justify starting him.

    Obviously the preferred option now is to get any sort of money for him and move on, but if he has to stay I admit I would take some satisfaction seeing him out the squad or on the bench. I genuinely think there would be benefit to the team overall for Ange to make an example of him.

    That would make sense if he wasn't in good form before today, but he was.

    I think his recent 'good form' has been exaggerated. We were happy to see it moving in a decent direction but he's been nowhere near the player he can be.

    If your strikers not a *, is he even a striker at all?
