    Can’t see us spending that money on a winger when we have Maeda, Forrest, Kuhn and Palma.

    We definitely need one more.

    Forrest at 33 is playing great but shouldn't be preventing us spending on quality, upcoming talent.

    3 of the 4 are a risk. Forrest is getting older and the other 2 have flattered to deceive so far in their Celtic career. We need another.

    I fully agree but I’d be surprised if the board are willing to spend big on a position we have a lot of options in.

    Hopefully we do though then sell MJ and get Yang out on loan.

    The way I see it, if we don't get Balikwisha then I don't see us bringing in another winger this summer.

    Currently got 6 on the books, could be one for January.

    Think we will lose 2 Wingers before window closes.

    Balikwisha would make a big difference. I would be willing to push the boat out a bit for him.
    Move on Yang and M.Johnson.
    Forrest is looking rejuvenated under Rodgers, but he won't last forever.

    Aye ideally both Johnston and Yang leave, but that still leaves us with 4 wingers.

    Not saying we won't get another, but could see it being a position we leave if we don't get him

    We need to sell / boot johnstone out the door pronto to open up space. Feels like he have been here for 16 years, and it's the same saga every start of the season with nim being on the verge of maybe getting some game time, ending up being * and not getting a sniff / getting injured. Time to go for him.

    Yang oout on loan. Agree with that.

    Peter Lawell paid off a boy to kick him in training. Can use the old tried but injured line on this one!

    When I say paid off a boy I mean promised him money but handed him club shop vouchers instead.

    We where never going near their valuation if it was in the £8m plus category.

    Seems a goer then. Everyone else will pull out and we'll offer to take him anyway like we tried with turnbull but at a reduced rate. Lawells magic excuse.

    We never signed Turnbull at a reduced we signed him for the same price a year later after he recovered from his surgery

    I know. However we offered a reduced rate, motherwell declined. Hence we waited.
