Celtic were advised by a Dutch legend to dispose of their January transfer target, stating that they had avoided a gunshot. In the January transfer window, Celtic were not as proactive as they have been in the past.

Fans were displeased with Celtic’s inability to secure a striker to replace their Japanese icon after Kyogo’s departure. The deadline had passed, but the club was unable to advance his pre-contract agreement due to Arsenal’s refusal to authorise his early departure from Emirates.

Brendan Rodgers was disappointed by this development; however, the manager promptly implemented a plan to acquire a new left-back to contend with Greg Taylor. Jeffrey Schlupp, a 32-year-old loanee from Crystal Palace, was recruited. Schlupp will engage in a conversation with Rodgers regarding his long-term status in the latter stages of the campaign, following a successful few months in Glasgow.

Tyrell Malacia, an ex-Celtic target, has been instructed by PSV to be “disposed of.” However, the situation could have been different for Celts had they taken into account the possibility of signing an additional defender in January. Tyrell Malacia was a target for a loan from Manchester United for Celtic.

This transfer was logical, as the Dutchman had over 130 appearances for Feyenoord and had experience in the Premier League. Malacia ultimately transferred to PSV Eindhoven, while Schlupp was acquired by Celtic. Rene van de Kerkhof, a Dutch former player and PSV legend, believes that Rodgers and his team may have been fortunate to avoid a major setback.

Van de Kerkhof was not impressed and, as reported by Voetbal Zone in an interview with the Omroep Brabant podcast, he vented his frustrations. On Saturday, all three goals conceded against Go Ahead were the result of significant defensive errors.

“A Malacia of that nature is an extremely poor investment.” I am not interested in seeing him again. “He should simply return to Manchester United and be removed.” Earnest Stewart, the technical director, could also be held accountable for this; he should have conducted a more thorough investigation of him.

The information that Celtic were provided by a Man United expert regarding Malacia A Man United expert from our sibling site, United in Focus, had informed Celtic of what to anticipate from Malacia. The defender was always expected to struggle for game time at Old Trafford following the signing of Patrick Dorgu from Lecce.

Malacia was a versatile talent who could provide more than some, according to Dan Coombs, UIF editor, who informed 67 Hail Hail before he joined PSV that he was a strong option for his club. Coombs stated, “He is an exceptional player who excelled in games against Liverpool and Manchester City as well as in his debut season.”
