    Analytics does not take into consideration a player's mentality. Idah stepped up from February and delivered under great pressure. Fir Park and Easter Road were best examples of that. Oh was being brought on and was largely ineffectual (with the odd exception). They may have similar attributes and statistical figures. But I know who I would want in the heat of the battle...

    Something that is unknown (and unquantifiable) is how a new player will settle in at a new club/new city/new country. Some players take to it like a duck to water and some cannot settle.
    There's no real way of knowing in advance who will/won't settle. We've had players come in from Japan and hit the ground running but also had Calvin Wilson who was famously "Homesick" for Nottingham!!
    So taking this into account, does this tip the scales in favour of Idah & Bernardo? We already know they like it here. So how much should we factor that into the equation?
    Maybe we can do better than Idah.... but what if the guy who is "better" doesn't settle in Glasgow or his family don't settle....
    Given the sheer number of positions that we need to strengthen, then I think the "We know what we're getting" factor with Idah/Bernardo tips the balance.
    We're probably going to have to bring in 6-10 players this summer. If Idah/Bernardo are included in that, then it's at least two in the plus column in terms of decent signings

      For me, last season's SPFL was the very worst in quality ever & that really is saying something, since it's been very poor for the last three decades or so & it's truly sad to see the other Top Five Clubs of Aberdeen, Hibs, Hearts & the two Dundee Clubs that Scottish football just absolutely NEEDS to be something like competitive, now just a complete & total shadow of what they once were & most sadly, they'll just continue to plummet to new depths of total crapness & miserable failure with every passing season & it's their continued collective demise that's one of the most pivotal factors in the ever accelerating decline of the overall quality & competitiveness of the whole of Scottish football & everyone just ignores it all.

    Thanks for this episode guys, I feel slightly more sane having listened to this as we broadly appear to be in agreeance about what has gone before, where we sit now and what needs to be undertaken moving forwards. One comment by Alan I found particularly interesting , and that was the comparable salary expenditure of Atalanta and Celtic which perhaps goes to show what is possible within the bracket that Celtic operate . For myself, what others perceive as the Holy Grail that being the CL is a real double edged sword. Sure, we all want to sit at the top table and rub shoulders with Europe's elite teams and benefit from the financial rewards, but it's a competition that is so often the cause of multiple disappointments given the gulf in the on pitch ability. We're all familiar with the adage that 'you need to walk before you able to run, and for this reason I'd be happy in the future to see the winners of the SPL go straight into the Europa League until such time that Scottish clubs or a club become much stronger. So, here's hoping that we all come back after the summer much stronger. Best

      ''Only'' winning a Double when you had won a Treble the previous season is ''technically'' not ''actually achieving much this year'' when comparing season with season, but overall it was still significant success in the context of a new Manager, new style of play, the poorest recruitment of new players in one whole season in literally decades & this all obviously contributed to a true & proper race to win the League Title that saw Celtic completely throw away an eight point lead around October time last year & then the other lot completely blowing it at Ross County & Dundee when the League Title was literally in their grasp, so yes overall, Celtic winning The Double was, as I've said, significant success this season.

    Re midfield, sign Wanyama clone, move McGregor back to his best position, the one MOR currently occupies. Also did anyone see the YT video of Bosun Lawal at Fleetwood Town this past season? He must be included in Brendans squad for next season as an 8, not CB where he has been in our youth team for 4 years previously.

      As Juco mentioned, we don't behave in the way a top ruthless club should, which would have already phased McGregor out the first 11 by now, he's nowhere near physical or athletic enough for Europe, yet we will continue to play him every game at that level, surrendering the midfield due to it, getting dominated and more often than not, losing

    The squad was already weakened after losing Jota, Starfelt, Mooy, etc, and later Abada. Now, we have lost Hart and potentially O'Riley. That was a lot of creativity and goals. We ended up playing our 5th or 6th choice in CD because of injuries and poor recruitment and had no cover for LB if Taylor got injured. As such, we need to remove as many of the non-contributing players in the squad through sales, or loans to other SPL clubs for those with a future. We need 4 quality signings who are first team ready with experience and maybe a couple of loan to buys which have worked well recently.

    rodgers says he wants pace and power but what that really means is STRIDE and SIZE. it's not about building athleticism as much as it's about finding innate advantages. the EPL is moving toward the NBA in that way. An ange approach of making the best of what you've got makes more sense for us than rodgers trying to go out and find develop or buy players who can square up to real madrid.

      Hi Greg - it comes in various shapes and sizes. Bernardo upped the athleticism profile - 5'11, strong but not particularly quick. Would a Victor Wanyama type really help break down low blocks as well as control Euro ties? My own personal image in my head is two players with similar profiles to Fede Valverde either side of McGregor. I realise this is highly unlikely!
