Kristoffer Ajer

Nice to hear that so many ex players listen to the podcast every week. Ajer included

 

He doesn't listen to it, Lawwell paid him to say that...

 

Would have loved to have seen him next to CCV man.

if he stayed a year more, under Ange I think he’d be frightening as the inside right back as well. One of those that’d be a perfect match that we just missed out on.

Like just missing seeing Forster, Van Dijk and Wanyama together for us rather than down south, when Southampton were clean sheet machines.

 

Celtic want to re-sign Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer this summer after qualifying for the Champions League

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Celtic forward Frank McAvennie shared his view that Ajer would return to Parkhead as an improved player following his time in England


Ajer, 26, left Glasgow in a £13.5million deal in 2021 and has gone on to make 69 appearances for Brentford, with 28 coming in the most recent season as a key part of the defence


Having qualified for the Champions League after winning the SPFL, Celtic have been told they must improve their squad to remain competitive


The defender made 176 appearances for the Hoops before his move to England and would be welcomed back by supporters at Parkhead.


McAvennie insisted Ajer will have improved in England due to the level of coaching and training, and he would continue to develop under Brendan Rodgers.

“They’ve always done it. It’s like when they bought in Van Dijk, Celtic do get these types of players and it’s brilliant,” he told Football Insider




Even Ajer, they’re talking about him coming back from Brentford.

“He’s a big centre-half and he’ll be a better player just by the fact he’s playing in England.

“They’ll be getting a better player than the one they let go. He’s a big lump of a boy



When you go down there, the training and everything is different. I don’t know what Brendan is like but obviously he’s one of the top coaches.

“I wouldn’t mind him back, we need players to go into Europe


Under Martin O’Neill, we brought in players like Sutton and Hartson. Those are the players we need to be signing.“

 

So we are going to sign Ajer, Edouard, Forster, KT.

I mean, might as well try and get VVD back as well at this rate... see of Christie fancies it too.

Season ain't even over and silly season well and truly underway

 

McAvennie on the sauce again I see

 

McAvennie doesn't half talk *.

 

Where's aw the b... bullshit rumours?

 

McAvennie rumours are funny as *, I’m sure their was a Butland story last week that came from him on Open Goal bamming up Derek Ferguson


I’ll enjoy one wee hypothetical thought of Ajer and CCV as a partnership though, that’d be fun. Absolutely zero chance of that happening unless Brentford sign CCV and play Ajer at CB though.

 

Come home sweet prince

 

He's been a few games this season

 

Wonder if Brendan’s trying to get the old band back together … would probably still take him tbh

 

Still got 3 year on his Brentford deal with them holding a year option would be £25m easy

 

Signed him on Fifa not long ago


Done well for me

 

He seems permanently injured at Brentford

 

He wasn't injured

Manager obviously doesn't fancy him
