    Very suspicious of him, Tierney and Rogic all signing new long term deals in the last 12 months. Clear sign they don't want to be here. PUNT.

    Olivier Ntcham has been sent for a scan after feeling his hamstring tighten during training on Tuesday.

    Rodgers, however, played down the significance of the Frenchman having a scan, saying; “I’m not sure it’s serious but he just felt it tightening. I think these days everything gets scanned, so we’ll see. It may be something slight but we shall see.”

    Back on the Porto radar




    according to the newspaper O JOGO, Olivier Ntcham returns to the radar of FC Porto! The 22-year-old French player who represents Celtic FC, was already very much associated with FC Porto last summer and could be back on the list of possible winter reinforcement

    I'd rather we didn't lose him because he's clearly talented but I wouldn't knock back anything in the region of 8-10m.

    Hopefully it’s *.

    Would hate to see him go.

    If we were well run we'd have possible replacements lined up and could punt him if the price was right. Sadly we're reactive rather than pro-active and there's no chance we've actually prepared for all eventualities and scouted midfielders.

    Fed up seeing his sour coupon swaggering about like playing for Celtic is a chore.

    It's either stick with him for the next 6 months in the hope his form drastically picks up or punt him for £8 million then start scouring Bristol Rovers reserves for a guy we can take on loan for 6 months.

    Sell and get Yaya in on a 6 month loan to buy, free transfer with a 12 month extension clause should he do well in the reserves, first team cameo or coaching our youths with Compper. You know it makes sense.

    Would punt in a heartbeat. On his game, he's a cracking player but the other 90% of the time, he's a waste of a jersey.

    Shouldn’t be allowed to leave unless they bid upwards of 15 million.

    * against the manks or not.

    and Hearts, Hibs, St Mirren...

    There's not a chance we'll get anywhere near that and we're in a catch 22 situation.

    Continue to play him and unless he seriously improves his attitude & form then the team will suffer.

    Sit him on the bench for a prolonged period and his value plummets.

    So they were willing to pay that but now he’s played poorly against the Huns, Hearts, Hibs and St Mirren he isn’t worth it? Despite signing an improved and extended contract?

    Teams look down on our country as it is. The only £15 million worth performance I can remember from him this season was v the huns in the first game.

    He has pedigree, he has international prospects and he has levels in him.

    I have no doubt in my mind he’s a 15 million quid player but such is the knee jerkness of Celtic fans he’s suddenly pish and not good enough.

    Cracking player when he is on the ball when he feels up for it. Without the ball though he is just a passenger and doesn't suit brendan's high press. Punt now for the dosh but only if we have a replacement lined up and the board want to reinvest (which they won't).

    I don't think I've heard a single person on here or in person say he's pish.

    He has obvious quality, on his day he is potentially the best midfielder - if not player - we have in the squad...but his attitude is hoachin'.

    When wearing the hoops the bare minimum is 100% effort and not even the most ardent Ntcham supporter could say he's currently giving us that.

    Some of his performances have been scandalous. From getting himself sent off away to St Mirren with about 10 fouls within half an hour to him jogging about in no man's land for Ryan Jack's goal. No attempt to cut out the cross and leaving a man in acres of space to ping a shot.

    Given we only got £19 million for Dembele who had several good European performances, various big performances in games v the huns and in cup semis and finals and the fact that there's a premium paid for strikers. I just can't see us getting anywhere near £15 million currently. I'd be delighted to be wrong though.
