    Surely yesterday’s game proves we need a quality winger, not a third choice striker. Maeda is more than capable there when required.

    Unless we’ve properly scouted and identified a younger project striker to fill the role of third striker, we shouldn’t be signing another striker.

    Guy has a tattoo of himself, no thanks.

    If we’re going to sign somebody that likes the smell of their own farts that much we should at least be going for someone a bit more professional.

    By all accounts the guy is a bit of a crackpot.

    I'm not sold on Maeda as a striker, he's a bit of hit and miss there. I prefer Maeda on the wing and for his tracking back. I think we have enough wingers onboard already to get by to January at least, then reassess.

    Connolly might be worth a risk on a free, nothing to lose. Could see Celtic as a massive chance to restart his career at 24. With the right coaching and encouragement he could surprise his critics.

    I would far rather take a chance with Connolly, than a young developement player.

    Would prefer to look at the striker situation in January. Winger, centre back and left back are the main priorities right now and centre mid depending on what happens with O'Riley and Hatate.

    I'd rather recall Jonny Kenny than sign Connolly.

    Looks like a roaster.

    By his most recent Wikipedia picture as well I've got a better physique. Which is saying something.

    no they don’t, if you actually read their stuff they tell you they make a lot of it up and rest comes from their ‘pish-stained’ correspondent, e-tims are supporters and don’t take themselves too seriously

    If we’re truly considering the likes of Connolly, then we are totally *. I’ve seen him playing for Ireland, he’s a total dud with problems/a bad attitude.

    Tbf did he not get something slightly right last week? Or am I making that up.

    Anyway. Was previously unsure on Kvistgaarden but he seems to have continued his form into the new season. Was a bit unsure about the idea of him in a lone striker formation but if his movement is good etc like Kyogo it would work.

    And he can play wide. How much did they want again? £8m?

    He said we were offered Wijndal and then we were linked with him a week or so later.

    Aye, it was reportedly 8 mill or so no long ago..

    His pressing and runs do look good. He looks similar in stature and some of his movement but I didn't want him as a Kyogo replacement..

    Has he been playing as a 9 this season?

    Not sure mate but the highlights reel I jusr watched most of his goals were actually with his heid.

    Seems another versatile type. Would take him, Idah and Maeda least till January. That's enough for striker.

    Saw one of those statos saying Kvistgaarden profiles really similarly to Wirtz, and while he isn’t a striker, might be a good fit for how Rodgers would want his striker to play (good link-up, creative but also able to chip in with goals and handle physicality)

    He actually seems like a mix of Kyogo and Idah in a lot of ways

    I'm gonna watch his most recent..

    He was one I definitely wanted in, he looked like hed fit in to our side well, domestically especially as he's a pest. Full of running and dynamic..

    Someone on KDS saying he's been told by someone he knows that's a Sheffield United fan that we are in talks with them to sign Auston Trusty.

    Left sided CB. We were linked before he left Birmingham.

    It's another rumour so why no..

    He was absolutely atrocious for them last year. Genuinely one of their worst players.
