JECK Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I like the idea of McGregor heading down there, he's at a good age and plenty big match experience, however Bournemouth kind of puts you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor would do well to move there. And they are in a much better place than those English teams who in the last twenty five years have provided us with many Scotland internationals such as Blackburn, Derby, Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Norwich, Nott'm Forest, Wigan, West Brom and Sunderland.

Bournemouth are not a bad option due to the reasons you stated but I would prefer he stayed at Celtic, it's good to have a starting line up with as many players playing at the same club imo as they are playing together every week. Also if Bournemouth lose 3 of their top players to bigger sides then they could be back to fighting relegation and then back in the championship. Look at Southampton and Armstrong, is it a better option to have swapped Celtic for Southampton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Southampton and Armstrong, is it a better option to have swapped Celtic for Southampton? In answer to the Armstrong question, I would say yes. He looks better than ever for Scotland and has started to do well in the EPL. He may show enough to play for a better team there or elsewhere.

He played just as well for Scotland while he was at Celtic, his last two performances for Scotland are not down to him moving to the EPL. If Southampton do go down then who says he will definitely get bought by another EPL club. Even if he does it might just be another relegation battler. Things are starting to go well for him at saints now but he's still playing in a poor team that will likely get relegated whereas at Celtic he was winning trophies and playing European football under a manager who helped him develop.

Having 5 or 6 of our first team playing every week can be beneficial to the team. Also I feel it's not necessarily a better move to play for a team that easily could end up in the championship next season. Either way I would be happy with both outcomes regarding Callum McGregor but I don't really see Bournemouth as a far better option than Celtic, same goes for Armstrong and Southampton.

The ideal scenario for me would be for Rodgers to get a big move hopefully sooner rather than later to a English club and in the following window get the band back together and plunder Celtic for McGregor, Tierney, Forrest and sign Armstrong from Southampton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the season starts, Arguably half the teams in the EPL could end up in the championship. If Celtic were playing CL football every year I'd agree Bournemouth aren't a better option but whether we like it or not teams like Bournemouth are a better draw for multiple reasons now. Imo the only reason Celtic would be more favourable would be if the player is a fan of Celtic or just wants to win trophies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

er yir macaroon Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Not yet a Scotland player, but I predict Connor McLennan may well be. He’s some size and appears to have great natural ability and a bit of pace. Keep an eye on him. A slight concern is his manager doesn’t seem too sure where to play him.

He came on against Celtic in the League Cup final. First time I saw him, he's certainly a box of tricks. I was impressed. Let's hope he can string a few matches together for Aberdeen as he does look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit ago I posted a list of young players I was watching out for and it was noted how few attackers there were. Starting to change (hopefully).

I'd say the same about Callum (sp?) Morrison at Hearts. It's weird how all of a sudden we're producing a few decent wingers (Morrison, Johnston, Middleton, McLennan). Let's just hope they improve.

Tartan_McCole Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Judging by Rodgers press conference today, I don't think we'll be seeing Leigh Griffiths again for a wee while.
