Luis Palma

Championship interest in him. Would be sending him there on a straight loan.

If he bags a few goals down there could easily be looking at making a significant profit on him.

 

Sunderland would be a good fit I reckon

Celtic winger Luis Palma, 25, is being chased by Sunderland, Stoke City, Swansea City and Queens Park Rangers as well as several European clubs.

 

Good point. Any player who is decent just short of making the grade here I’d always be looking to loan to the English championship.

Really don’t think the standard is that great down there and lot of money floating about the league. Plenty of examples throughout the years.

 

He is definitely a better player than he appears just now. When he first got in the team he looked fantastic. Was contributing, creating and scoring goals. Then something happened and he has dropped right off a cliff. A loan out to another club would do him good. Agree that lets not set an agreed fee as he should do well in the Championship.

 

Good points there. I would agree too unless we get someone willing to pay us enough money to make a profit on Palma right now.

 

Nothing really happened when you think about it, he played fairly well from when he joined until December then after the January break he barely got a game again.

He was frozen out really probably as Rodgers just never liked him but he had no other options until January, Mikey Johnston started playing around December/January, then Abada got a few games when he returned and he signed Kuhn and his game time went way down.

It's not like he went on a poor run of 3/4 games and got dropped. He just started getting very little game time out the blue.

He started 7 League games in December 2023 alone and done fine got 1 goal and 4 assists. Then after December he only started 6 League games since, out of the last 40.

Same as what happened to Oh really, Oh always done fine for us, used to come on scored a decent amount of goals and would work hard for 25-30 minutes when replacing Kyogo. Rodgers it seems just never really liked him, he'd put him on the last 1 or 2 or 3 minutes of games all the time basically snubbing him constantly.

You could say it's a test, like Rodgers wants to see how they react to being blatantly snubbed if they work hard and show the quality and mental abilities to come back and perform and do the business but then they never really got the chance on the park anyway to make a comeback.

Could also be just how Rodgers operates to point out to the board he wants different guys signed, like he just shows blatantly "these guys are not an option to me im not even going to use them" you could say he done that with Haksabanovic, Nawrocki, Lagerbielke right away, Bernabei, Oh, Palma once he had the chance. Might also be the case with that keeper Sinasalo we signed, has been weird how he hasn't played at all - if he doesn't play against Raith Rovers I wouldn't be surprised if he is sold in the summer.

Holm also I forgot was completely frozen out even last season he was playing Kelly instead and even the boy Turley.
