How will Celtic move forward this summer?
No doubt there will be incoming transfers to help bolster the squad, but popular Celtic twitter account, Everything Celtic, posed this question on social media:
The usual suspects of Bolingoli, Barkas and Ajeti popped up but there were a few surprises from the fans as some made left field suggestions:
My honest opinion:
* = 1 year left on deal🇬🇷 Barkas
🇨🇭 Ajeti
🇧🇪 Bolingoli *
🇫🇷 Jullien * (Clearly not in plans)
🇨🇮 Soro
🇮🇪 McCarthy (Unlikely with contract)
🏴 Johnston
🏴 Forrest * (Tough one to admit)
🇮🇪 Scales (Is he good enough? Decent versatility)— Everything Celtic (@aboutceltic) April 21, 2022

James Forrest, then the usual suspects. Think we all know by now.

What is becoming apparent is that James Forrest is receiving no love from the Celtic fans.
These select few tweets are just an example of the depth of feeling for the legendary (and he is a legend) winger and what is clear is that he’s not the player he used to be.
I think Forrest should be given an extra year but with a redefined role within the team that doesn’t require pace and power to beat players.
There is a hell of a lot of players at Celtic that are sucking a lot of money out of the club so lets hope that Ange Postecoglou can can find them all new clubs.
