Jonny Hayes

* acting as if he's the only player coming in calm down.

 

* calm down ya absolute panic merchants.

 

As already said, Hayes improves the squad. The players we want are probably on holiday, their agents on holiday as well as their team board members. We will get more quality signings

 

Agents on holiday during the transfer window?

The rest I agree with..

 

Good signing and hope he proves all the psycos on here wrong. This season we basically had no one to take Sinclairs place if he was injured or having a poor game, now we do.

 

We've just won the treble and had an undefeated season and have only lost one first team player (Roberts) and have bought the player with the most assists in the league and the best player outwith Celtic and have about 2 months left of the window. Chill.

 

People do need to relax the lads and manager deserve a good holiday probably overreacting cause them Sevco * are signing every Mexican and Portuguese * under the sun.

 

calm down, calm down

 

This is the way i see it, people panicking because sevco are signing * mexicans and 94 year old portuguese players. When we start signing our players they will no doubt be high quality and have been watched thoroughly imo.

 

What's the future like?

 

Some of posts in here are honestly embarrassing, get a * grip, Hayes is not going to be our only signing, do you'se honestly think Rodgers would sign a 4 * year deal if he hasnt got a * tonne of money and free rain? * buns are signing a bunch of tortillas, one or two might turn out to be decent which is fair play but come on now let's stop being idiots. Hayes is a good player, better than any player they have so let's just relax

 

the futures bright, the futures orange

 

Why are people getting there knickers in a twist over Hayes ? When Sinclair was out injured a player like Hayes would have been ideal. He will improve the squad for sure. The season finished 10 mins ago and folk on here are acting like Jim white is on the telly in his yellow tie. Calm the * down bhoys. After the year we had, Brendan deserves to enjoy his time away for a bit....

 

After the season that has just been, there is always a clamour for what you would call a marquee signing.

The capture of Jonny Hayes might not have been seen as the so called superstar name that many might have cried out for – but to me he ticks all the boxes in terms of being a sensible and solid signing.

If you look through the past at signings, it is not always the big names who have come and made an impression.

Few really knew what Kris Commons would bring when he was signed but he was an outstanding player for the club, while you could even include the likes of Leigh Griffiths in there too in terms of players who came and surpassed all expectations when they got their feet under the desk.

Hayes has obviously worked with Brendan Rodgers at Reading when he was just a kid and they clearly have a strong working relationship. As we have seen already from the season that has just concluded, that can be so important – Scott Sinclair’s career was entirely re-invigorated by getting back to work with a manager who knew him and knew how to get the best out of him.

It looks as though any deal for Roberts might be shelved with the player looking as though he wishes to have a go at impressing Pep Guardiola this summer.

But I suspect that Celtic were prepared to push the boat out for him - and they will do so one or or two players this summer.

However, there is a big difference between pushing the boat out – and sinking it completely.

It is about balance.

You always have to be aware too of upsetting the equilibrium within a dressing room. In my own experience, players will accept a ‘superstar’ signing if you like earning a bit more money because there is an appreciation that he might bring something exceptional to the team and take them to a different level.

But it is inevitable that you get problems if you have players who are perhaps marginally better than what you have but are earning significantly more money.

What we have seen operated successfully this season is the type of deals that have brought Moussa Dembele and Sinclair to the club. Celtic extended themselves a little, not with the transfer fee but with the salaries on offer, to get them to Celtic and I think ultimately too it comes down to players wanting to be at the club.

It has worked out well in both of their situations and if you can get back into the Champions League then there is the possibility of being able to attract players of that ilk.

I think I have been relatively consistent in saying what I think Celtic need for next season, although I do think that there is an argument to say that they could do nothing in the window and, in a domestic sense at least, would still be far too strong for anyone else to get near.

I would still suspect that they will go all out to bring in a couple of players who can add a little bit of quality because the aim now isn’t just to go out and win the Treble again but to make something of an impact in Europe.

That is always going to be the barometer for Celtic but there is the small matter of the qualifiers to negotiate first.

These three qualifying rounds are without question the most important games of the entire season for the club. They underpin everything that follows and getting into the group stages sets the tone for the campaign.

There is obviously a major financial impact too with the possibility of in there with Europe’s elite an enticing carrot when it comes to attracting players to the club. But even with all that aside, it is where Celtic should be playing their football.

Ideally you would like to think that there might be one or two players brought in who could help to make sure that they get there again but the squad that is in place at the minute ought to feel confident enough of seeing the job through after the season they have just enjoyed.

Johnny Hayes is a replacement for GMS, not for Roberts. And he is a improvement to GMS.

 

Arrived in Glasgow tonight.
