The heart wants what the heart wants. Best of luck to the pair of them.
Solid enough defender that had his two left feet moments when he tried to play football. We've got a couple of weeks left to get in another first team ready CB.

Probably all Jacinta mate

Is this not why Nawrocki was signed ? Scales is a decent backup domestically ,Welsh isn't great but OK domestically too , not sure about yuki he looks awful .As far as Europe is concerned then we are Miles off competing in CL and always will be given the financial disparity,that's the simple reality .Best hope is a europa league run

Anything happens to CCV and we're depending on Scales, Iwata or Welsh, we could be in trouble.
Kobayashi is a work in progress, some players hit the ground running some need time to adapt, I hope he's the later.

Scales has proven himself domestically whilst on loan at Aberdeen ,Europe is a different animal though but I woukd suggest we don't have ANY CL level players eiropa league yes but CL absolutely not

So we agree that we need a CB capable of dealing with European football.

I do but Starfelt wasn't that cb either?

I would go as far as to say we need a whole TEAM capable of competing at CL level, results in the last decade or so would suggest we are well short of that sadly

We’ve replaced Starfelt already as has been pointed out.

Anything happens to any of our defenders and we’re in exactly the same position as last season

CL? Great to be in it for the riches but did anyone believe the nonsense about building a team to actually compete in it? Seriously?

We’d have to spend tens of millions and significantly increase our salary budgets. No way are we ever doing that.

I’m pointing out that we are no worse off than last season in defence.

Still have to find an answer to the Jota “gap” and sadly I’m not sure we will this season.

But anyone who things that we are going to invest the kind of money needed to have some “performance” in the CL is off their heads.

Anything happens to CCV, We're fvcked.
He's the best defender I've seen at Celtic since VVD.

We should really buy more acronym defenders.

Good idea maybe if we call Welsh SW ,Scales LS and Yuki YK they will be of the required standard 🤔🤣🤣

No we’re not. He was injured last season too. He’d be missed of course but the vast majority of the sides we come up against are absolute dross and we’d have no excuses losing to any of them just because our main defender is out.

That’s not to say I wouldn’t want to see improvement, particularly in Taylor’s position and fairly soon Hart’s.

We can’t just buy very good players just for cover in the eventuality someone gets injured. At that level they want to play every week.

Early doors at Rangers but they look like they’ve added in a load of players of similar quality (so far) that there’s no way Beale can make that work unless one or two start to shine through very quickly.

Cantwell being dropped was bizarre but just shows what kind of a task Beale has.

Hart needs to be replaced ASAP if we are to do anything at CL or EL level. I feel he's got a few howlers in him this season if we persist with him.

He's done us a great turn when we needed it but the time to upgrade is now.

Agree on Taylor too. My fear with both him and Ralston is a bit of regression. Both weren't really up to par before Ange came in, both flourished under his style but now we're no longer likely to play the inverted FBs I hope they don't go back to the form they had before Ange was here.

Need AJ back and either Berna to come good or a new LB in soon.

posted on 6/8/23

I’d be happy with a CL back 4 of somebody nearer AJ’s level at LB, Nawrocki, CCV and AJ … then we just have to keep our fingers crossed they’re all fit, as the drop off after that is massive. As has been said though, we can’t afford top quality back up. We need to have decent quality starters in all positions though, when everyone’s fit, and keeper is looking a bit of a question mark on that front.

You are neggy baws and I'm surprised that an experienced businessman is so prepared to throw in the towel, throw up your arms and not look at what competitors are able to do is somewhat of a surprise.

BTW, good luck to Starfelt in Spain, assuming that goes through. Have never been totally sold on him, but he’s been a decent signing overall. Hopefully big Maik has a tad more composure and ability on the ball. Time will tell.

Bets on us getting Barcelona, a very decent German side and someone else who we’ll all go “should get 6 points there” and get 2.

There.
