    Would honestly rather sign Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen than Lawrence Shankland

    I keep hearing people saying that Shankland is not a Rodgers striker, and I am not saying he is either, but I do remember Brendan praising Shankland to the hilt at the last transfer window. The Hun background is a bit of a stick to beat Shankland with actually, when you consider we have three Celtic players in the current first team who already come from a Hun background, so why not a fourth ?.

    Because he's pish, nothing to do with his background.

    The very definition of a flat track bully. Monster munch 2.0

    He did and then the next question was is he someone you would be interested in signing and reply was a straight "no".

    Pish you say, with the goals and penalties that Shankland scores ? He is good at holding the ball up for bringing other players into the picture too. Flat track bully you say ? We have many Celtic fans saying we are a bit soft and naive at times. Shankland would help change that dynamic.

    If we sign the Belgian I'd expect us to punt Palma.
    Based on yesterday he's now 3rd choice for left wing position and genuinely can't remember last time he had a good game.

    I think if we wait on Toure he will be off to Belgium or Holland, there is a crazy turnover of talented players from Sweden and Norway just now. I also remember reading that clubs in those leagues have got tie ins with teams in Africa and that is how so many players are coming through those leagues.

    You obviously have Right to Dream and Nordsjaelland owned by the same guy, because but Hacken have a tie in with a team in Ivory Coast and I think there is another formal one.

    Whether it's us or someone else, you can bet your savings Toure will be off to someone before the end of our season.

    There is no answer to that :giggle1:

    Look, I am all for giving any player a clean slate if they sign for Celtic. I don't do denominations.:giggle1:

    Thought shankland looked * every game for Scotland and looked * on Saturday. Wouldn’t want him in at all now tbh. Much rather miovski or idah

    I don't think he's a * player.

    He's slow aye. But he's a good finisher and his link up play is decent.

    I wouldn't take him now, but in January I'd have signed him. Think he pretty much guarantees goals domestically for any side. If he gets service.

    I don't think Idah is THAT good either though personally. It's gonna be difficult to find someone who brings what kyogo does.

    I don't want shankland as I've said but he would bring competition naturally as right now we have 1 striker and if he joined and if anyone joined we'd then have 2:56:

    But aye. Won't happen and I don't want it to.

    He brings something totally different to Kyogo that's why he'd be a good option. Idah I mean not that fat * Shankland

    As in Renato Tapia from Celta Vigo?

    If so, he’s a cracking defensive midfielder and also a free agent. I wouldn’t be against that at all.

    I'd be very happy if we got Tapia, he's the sort of CDM we've been crying out for years for.
