I'd say hands down that of players still here from last season, he has been the most consistent top performer in last 12 months. Fantastic player with bags of energy and determination.

Tony said in the club yesterday what positions we need and the number rounded off to 5 players in, not including a goalie which makes me think the club will resist any offers for Hladky. The most obvious positions of the 5 are two centre halfs and a left back. We have been threadbare incentral defence and there are no guarantees that McLoughlins deal will be granted an extension by Hull

Let's not forget, before the club was taken over, there were occasions when the old board members had to top-up club funds from their own pockets (soft-loans)? This is something that has not been required under the new board.

I also heard about a possibility of a keeper been targeted. Whether is was for the end of season or for next window I am unsure. I personally think we need a better left-back with more physicality that can get to the byline and put a decent delivery in. Celtic have just recently knocked back an approach from Stoke for Morgan, so that gives you an idea of the types of teams that are already showing an interest. I do agree we need a bit of a spark on the wing, as McAllister has not shown any signs of last seasons form and seems to be back to the injury table. I'm sure this is an area that the club will be scouting for. I thought though that Djorkaeff could operate on the left-side of midfield? He doesn't seem to be getting his opportunity at all. For me, a LB, Winger (If not Djorkaeff) and possibly cover at centre half. We would all love a free scoring striker, then who wouldn't? I think with Cody Cooks return, he could add some value to our frontline.

You would imagine 300k could get you up to 3 decent players on 2 year deals, including the replacement goalie.

The only thing i would say we have in our favour if any, is that you only need to look at the players who have came from our academy and worked their way into the first team. This is one incentive to stay at the club and earn your move at a later date when you have games under your belt. Teams like Benfica and Bayern Munich however don't come sniffing around too often. John McGinn bided his time and got a move a few years down the line which now has him playing at the highest level.

Imagine at that age getting the opportunity to train at those two clubs. Some experience for the boy. Hopefully we get the chance to see him develop at our club and make sure we help him reach his full potential. I think if he was to leave at such a young age, the compensation fee is next to nothing.

What about offering non-season ticket holders a reduced ticket price for the Celtic game if they buy along with a ticket for this Saturday? Or, alternatively a 3 home game December package at a reduced price? May work, or is it not financially feasible for the club?

From what I believe we have already been looking at 3 positions to bring in, goalie included. Whether we have someone lined up to come in next month or not I have no idea, though if we do, then they may just take the cash for Hladky if the price is right. If we could squeeze a further 100-150k out of potential suiters I think we should take it.

He has been ever present for Dinamo Bucharest since he returned. He is a first team regular. They were looking for around £300k first time round, his valuation to them will most likely have risen. We cant compete in that market, when you see the latest accounts recently released. It is just no sustainable and just shows that we are kind of dependent on that extra money from the ugly sisters games.

From what I believe Muzek was offered a deal and turned it down in the summer.

Celtic supporter. He has St Mirren supporters within his family though.

He's probably been asked the question by the media and that is his response. It's only natural that the media will link him with former players, just like Morgan has been.

Still trying to find the rumour in this story never mind the relation to St. Mirren.

I wonder why he hasn't featured in any unders games yet as a trialist, unless there are some rules against it for overseas trialists.

Am i the only one that thinks its a bit of a risk public letting other clubs know how you scout players with potential of them copying your model if you unearth some gems?

Yardley was one of my favourite players from the past, though a tongue in cheek moment from myself suggesting he was our greatest ever player.

Haha no. My mates da' PW

One of my best friends' old man. Top guy!

Mark Yardley

Harry Davis was a decent signing from that level too to be fair. His goalscoring record isnt that bad for a guy in and out of starting lineups. The jury is out on our front two I agree, though have we given them a decent run of playing together? So far, it just doesn't seem to work with Morias as the lone striker. Did Hasselbaink (similar build to Morias) not play with big Thommohawk upfront when he was with us? A little and large partnership may be the answer. Alternatively i'd like to see us start with both Durmus and McAllister on the wings, with a target man in either Cooke or Obika to deliver crosses in to.

Shankland who received a 6 figure signing on fee and a 6 figure annual salary by signing for Dundee utd.

Thing is, he probably is doing well in training hence being front of the pecking order.

My only take on Cammy being in front of Mcginn, would be his versatility if required to fill more than one position on the field. It seems that the gaffer wants to fill his bench with more attacking minded players. Interested to see what Djorkaeff has to offer when given the opportunity.

I have a feeling with our attacking options in midfield we will see more chances converted in these positions. Tony Andreu if starting or at least having some involvement in a game, could easily see him bag at least 10 goals this season. I'm quite confident of that. I still think it's still early days for our front pairing at the moment to judge character. That Obika goal on Saturday was clearly onside.
