Why we might need a pool of 7 wingers

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

News from Korea today suggests we have agreed the transfer of Yang Hyun-jun from Gangwon.  The player turned 21 two days before our last league game of the season against Aberdeen.  Gangwon have won only two of their 22 league games and sit well adrift of safety in the relegation zone.

He is young and playing for a side who are surely the polar opposite of Celtic – always defending instead of always attacking.  The journey to Europe, to Celtic Park, potentially Champions League nights and the ever-present need to win, need to always be productive, will take a while to adjust to.

A fee of around £2.5m is a huge amount for a Gangwon, so we can assume this lad has metrics which place him in the upper echelon of potential superstars.  Whether that potential is realised will depend on how well Brendan Rodgers and his coaches develop him.  We should expect little in his first season.

Yet another winger!  He joins Daizen Maeda, Liel Abada, Marco Tilio, Sead Haksabanovic and James Forrest, while Mikey Johnston’s injury almost certainly precludes him from leaving on loan this summer.  That makes seven fighting for two starting places.

That sounds a lot, but as my brother pointed out to me this morning, since the five subs rule came in, we change at least one winger and often both in each game, so any four have a realistic chance of gametime each matchday.

With two injured (as there are at the moment), that’s four from five, so maybe we are not overloaded on the wings (pardon the pun) afer all.

    Indeed.

     

     

    Any club especially Sevco it seems can sign Bosman players at the start of the window.

     

     

    There is one less party in the deal, that is, no seller, no negotiations, free agents can sign for whoever they like. Contract mismanagement has come back to bite the new club e.g Morelos, Kent, Kamara let’s hope the Daily Record and STV continue the coverage, and make the same mistakes they made with Rainjurz.

     

     

    I think Celtic did well, to get Brendan back, they won’t have done so without an agreement on the budget. Our budget is by virtue of human nature being coveted with supporter’s eye expectation.

     

     

    The last time I checked the window was open till September 1st.

    BOURNESOUPRECIPE @ 7:00 PM,

     

     

    Yes, the twenty third hour of the first of September – set on my calendar.

     

     

    Remember staying up all night to get Pukki:))))

     

     

    Classic…

     

     

    Hail Hail

  18. lets all do the huddle on

    Why are we using P—-ks bus,are we getting them free ?

     

     

    Why oh why ,,,

     

    —-

     

     

    i think its just practical.

     

     

    there isnt another bus company in the country that can provide team buses of the quality that they do.

     

     

    and then get you one of similar quality at short notice if needed.

     

     

    hearts fans probably moan that they use a ‘weegie’ company (Parks) instead of a Lothian company like Prentice Westwood

     

     

    its for the same reason

    Quite…

     

     

    Don’t you love farce?

     

    My fault, I fear

     

     

    Hail Hail

  25. lets all do the huddle on

    Why don’t we buy our own bus?

     

    —

     

     

    PLCism in general doesnt do that sort of thing anymore.

     

     

    they deal with their own business (football, financial services, food etc) and contract out all the ancillary services

    Is this the way forward for dealing with sectarian chants

     

     

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66198330”

     

     

    —————-

     

     

    Huns chant the already outlawed and illegal

     

     

    up to their knees

     

     

    About 4 or 5 times a half

     

     

    2 games and they would be bust (again lol)

     

     

    Always got me raging everytime I hear it

     

     

    Should be fines galore

     

     

    Instead??

     

     

    Fecking apologies over some bollox

     

     

    Wish our board (our fans, fecking anyone – someone!!) would do something about that

    We could get an old Glasgow double decker bus with original livery.

     

     

    ============

     

     

    The amount of people that have offered their services to drive our players to airports? (me included lol)

     

     

    We should be able to make a business out of it

  31. celtic40me on

    A bus would cost us about 500k and it would sit in a garage for most of the time.

     

     

    Probably the price of Jota’s loan fee.

  33. Gene on

    There’s a local company in Biddulph that fits out coaches with all the tech stuff.

     

     

    I’ve seen many football buses there – from Liverpool to championship sides – surely we can run our own bus.

    CELTIC40ME on 14TH JULY 2023 9:12 PM

     

     

    Remember the time the Huns owned their own bus? Whatever happened to that?

     

     

    —————

     

     

    Went to a local chop shop to pay for morelos chip shop bill…….

  35. celtic40me on

    Chairbhoy

     

     

    You’ve forgotten we had Jota for a year before we paid him a penny or Benfica £6.5m.

     

     

    Perhaps not your typical project but 9 starts before he came hardly made him a 6.5m first team cert

  36. Gene on

    Celtic40me

     

    We’ve wasted 10 times that amount on projects – 500k depreciated over 5 years.

     

    It’s a statement

  37. lets all do the huddle on

    ive just read the full comments from both sides in the spfl- hun cinch dispute

     

     

    i think im going to be sick

  40. celtic40me on

    GENE on 14TH JULY 2023 9:20 PM

     

     

    I’d rather we make our statements on the pitch. 500k is a Kris Ajer or half a Victor Wanyama.

  41. Chairbhoy on

    CELTIC40ME @ 9:19 PM,

     

     

    Naw, I did remember that.

     

     

    Think we can agree, Jota was not your typical “project”.

     

     

    GENE @ 9:20 PM,

     

     

    What about the amortisation!?

     

     

    Hail Hail

    “Naw, I did remember that.”

     

     

    Strange you failed to mention it then.
