    I actually thought O'Dea was going to be a good player for us when he first broke through, but it just never really happened for him. Scored the winner against the knuckledraggers in a Cup Final, so I will always be grateful for that, but I wouldn't want him back.

    I would be looking to offload Ambrose before we bring in another centre half.

    I like his attitude more than anything to be honest, you're right though, he never really did kick on but decent experience with him and he knows the club inside out. I just really donm't want to see Ambrose in a Celtic strip again.

    I will agree there mate. If a bid of any amount comes in for him in January, then it has to be accepted in my opinion.

    We have 3 natural CB's one of them is a bombscare, one of them is likely to go ASAP and one of them is a 19 year old loanee... We need backup and O'Dea really is a reasonable enough player.

    I'm not happy when Ambrose plays at centre half mate, and I would be the same with O'Dea. To be honest, I think Mulgrew is decent cover at centre half. We should be looking to bring in a quality centre half in my opinion, not bringing in another average one. I think O'Dea would only add to the list of players we don't need.

    I thought Darren O'Dea was about 40.

    Rafael Bastos is on the free agents list. He's 29, had a great champions league campaign with Cluj a few years back. I don't know if he's had issues leading to him being without a club, but he's technically good and would give us a bit of creativity. Probably wouldn't expect a big wage either.

    O'Dea is training with us, albeit just to recover.

    Can't be any worse than Ambrose surely.

    O'Dea is still completing his injury rehab, with the help of the Celtic physios, and he will train with his former club while he regains fitness. As a free agent, he can join a club at any time.

    * it, why not? We could do with cover. O'Dea can play at left-back as well, can he not?

    Breno? always used to sign him on FM :icon_mrgreen: according to transfermarkt he's been on a career break since 2012, whatever the * that means.

    Already signed for São Paulo. He still has to wait a year before he can play again though. He was really good before he found those matches.

    Celtic should bid for him and let him play matches and not let him play with matches
