    On Radio Clyde the other night, Jim Delahunt & co. were discussing a rumour they had heard that Celtic are going to make a move to bring Stephen McManus back in January.

    I don't know where they'd heard this rumour but they did discuss it on air so I thought I'd post it up.

    Personally I am not excited at the prospect of that move. Signing Stephen McManus is not going to solve our defensive problems. I'd rather see Thomas Rogne given a run in the team than waste money bringing McManus back.

    I wouldn't be opposed to the move, although I do worry about his lack of pace, etc. He might give our defence a bit more stability, however.

    There's a reason he had to move on. Never bring back the same players especially when they were not good enough.

    better than what we've got but still, if were only going to be bringing in one centre half a hope it's a lot more quality than mcmanus

    McManus stays like one of the best centre back of the last ten years but, if he comes back, what will the future of O'Dea, Rogne, Thompson or Wilson ?

    At the moment, there is too much players for this position :

    Loovens
    Majstorovic
    Mulgrew
    Rogne
    Toshney
    K.Wilson

    +

    Hooiveld
    O'Dea
    Thompson​

    In my opinion, there is too much same level players in this list and it will be a big headache for Lennon in the coming months to choose who must stay at the club or not :87:

    Bad move. Would cost us in or around £2m. Money better spent elsewhere.

    iagree with calwel over mcmanus however the problem is our side is full over "less than 1 mil players" in the sense that they simply are medioacre

    It's really a worrying situation that we can't seem to get the centre of defence sorted out, and this rumour (I heard it myself) does nothing to make we think it's getting any better.

    The huns seem to have a habit of getting good cb's in, maybe we should steal their scout?

    He will give his all for the club, which is needed, always. He bled for the badge, literally.

    he wasn't the most talented footballer but he would go to * and back for celtic and was solid enough compared to maj or loovens
