Grangemouth Bairn Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 9 minutes ago, Jinky67 said: Celtic signed a new Head of Sports Science at the start of the season. The injuries we are picking up is due to players being overplayed due to lack of squad depth and long term injuries in key positions. We have played something like 35/36 games this season with a pretty thread bare squad at times, to be expected imo Sorry, I was aware of that, I meant a new one to replace him. Regarding the squad, appreciate you’ve had injuries however over 30 players have played some part for the first team this season and with the 3 new lads + Dembele and Julien, you’ve been nowhere near as stretched as the likes of Dundee and St Mirren who couldn’t fill their bench in certain games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We badly needed a left back which Hatate is, looking forward to seeing him and Jota link up down the left hand side. With Maeda coming in makes me wonder if Kyogo will be pushed out wide to his more natural position? With Julien and Dembele also back in training and likely available for selection come the 17th it will be like another 2 new signings so bodes well for the run in. What you badly need is better recruitment and to stop signing mediocre players on 4/5 year deals.. You paid £3m for Bolingoli and over £1 million for Taylor. Boli's been 4th or 5th choice LB at Celtic. Even Scales started ahead of him on Sunday. What a waste of money!

Thankfully Nick Hammond who was the head of recruitment responsible for those signings left with Neil Lennon. I imagine offloading the likes of Bolingoli, Ajeti and Barkas will be one of the top priorities also Can’t argue we have wasted millions on some utter dross over the past couple of years, we do get some right though, Frimpong being one if you look at the return we got Edited December 31, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soro in the region of £800k so not really in the same bracket as Barkas but he should be offloaded Uroghide and Shaw are still pretty young and could develop into decent players, I thought they both done really well in the Betis game, Uroghide in particular but I wouldn’t be surprised to see either go out on loan for a bit McCarthy it’s just the salary and length of contract that’s a bit dubious but time will tell and I suppose it depends on what he was promised in terms of how much playing time he should expect Edited December 31, 2021 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 How many Japanese players do you need to sign before you do the equivalent of orange day? I believe that’s how it works. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When first choice players have been injured, Ange has picked Scales, Welsh, Murray and Henderson instead. As you say, both did well in the Real Betis match. There ought to be clubs interested in taking them in January if they are made available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
