    Normal circumstances you'd say he's just low on confidence and just keep working away, but everything surrounding the situation means it's vital to get him out ASAP and bring in a replacement.

    Gutted as I think he could have been huge for us for years, but if there are off field issues then it's the only way.

    Good to see him getting more minutes on the pitch.
    I think we will unleash him on the Huns on Jan 2nd.

    3 chances today and and while the first two headers were tough that third one should have been a pish easy goal for a striker, but all 3 chances straight at the keeper.

    looked devoid of every ounce of confidence with that shot.

    He wants more money, which Celtic isn’t offering.

    I have no harsh feelings for him. We got him for peanuts and let’s now sell him for profit.

    I love him and he was so important for the second half of last season, but he is certainly not irreplaceable. Let’s make our profit and bring in our next money-making player.

    I still love the big guy and hope he has a future at the club, he offers us something a bit different who is not afraid to be a physical force in the box to ruffle up defenders.

    with Giorgos Giakoumakisstill expected to leave Glasgow when the January window opens.



    The Greek attacker was offered new terms on his contract but is understood to be unhappy with the number on the table at this moment in time.

    Seen he was gurning at Forrest at the end of the game. Time to get rid as soon as we can.

    If that’s true, get him to * and keep him away from the rest of the team.

    There was a cracker of a ball that Bernabei put in that was landing straight on him and just cut out. He didn't even react with a thumbs up or fuckall I don't think..

    He's definitely gone..

    Hopefully get near the £20m mark for both GG and JJ. With Kobayashi coming in for free and Johnstone coming in for £3m, hopefully see a few million invested in our strikeforce. Cho and Tengstedt for £6m combined would be unreal business.

    Abildgaard and Ideguchi out this window too hopefully.

    Looks fed up in my opinion. Pity as he is a very useful player. It’s hard with him and Kyogo as both would expect to play, and at times I think Giakoumakis should have been in ahead of Kyogo, but then you run the risk of having two players out of form due to rotating too much.

    I 100% believe GG should have been starting some games. Kyogo been off form so far this season as a whole. However, look at the form of Kyogo since we came back from the world cup. Been immense.

    It was always going to be difficult to keep both happy. Having said that, Giakoumakis seemed fine before the contract talks seem to have stalled. It would be interesting to know what he is on and how much he is after, because I think he has earned a wage increase, but of course it depends on how much he is looking for.

    I'd be hoping for closer to 30. 25 maybe being more realistic..

    Say if the 17 valuation is correct that we're after for Juranovic
    8 mill for Jackie

    6 mill for Cho and Tengstedt or if those two are fanciful together....then maybe Mmaee with one of them..

    3 to 4 on Laidouni and the young Korean and we're good to go..

    Around 25 brought in for two players. Roughly 10 spent on four replacements (although we already spent 3 on Johnston beforehand....but you get the gist)..

    He definitely doesn't look happy. Looks in a huff and was saying something after the game to a couple of players pointing to area's of the park. The last thing we need is a big huffy * disrupting the dressing room. I don't think Ange would take his pish if he is acting up. Good goalscorer but has his flaws and I'd be confident of finding a decent replacement.

    Laidouni would be unreal but I sense we have moved on from him now.

    Could go back for Belmonte..

    Liked the look of him..

    Box to box
    Mobile
    Big lump
    Scored some crackers
    Argentinian youths player
    Some range of passing

    Don't think he'd cost a fortune..

    Not sure we had any original interest in Belmonte. Didn't that come from Pendy, who was right about the club but was wrong about the player/position we were scouting?

    Would definitely like him though if there was genuine interest.
