All the talk these past two weeks has been about how Celtic will need to sign a striker quickly because of the Asian Cup.

Brendan Rodgers might have to play three games after the New Year without Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda, or Hyoengyu Oh if all three are picked by their countries.

I think Celtic might not have to worry about Kyogo’s absence, though, because of how well he’s been playing for the club lately. Hajime Moriyasu might not pick him for the Japan team anyway.

When the Celtic striker was at the top of his game last season, Moriyasu refused to pick Kyogo, saying that the level of play in Scotland was too high for him to be included.

He kept picking Daizen Maeda, which was strange, so his case didn’t make sense anymore. Then, the Japanese media put a lot of pressure on Moriyasu and began to question his team choices as Kyogo raced to become the top scorer in the Scottish Premiership.

After finally giving in in May of this year, Moriyasu was replaced by Kyogo. The Japan manager told Gekisaka, “I called him up because he has been consistently contributing to the team’s victories with results and a strong presence.”

Don’t forget that the Japanese forward got 34 goals last year. He has only hit six goals so far this season, which is almost half over.

Early goals suggested that the £4.6 million signing from Vissel Kobe might score as many goals as he did last season, or even more. However, Kyogo had not scored in three games before the Aberdeen game.

His goal against Hearts also ended a run of three games in which he didn’t score any goals and wasn’t very useful as the leader of the Celtic attack.

It’s clear that his new role at Celtic under Rodgers is making it harder for him to get into scoring positions, which is something the Hoops manager needs to fix.

Moriyasu also has a number of players who play in bigger leagues and are in better scoring form than Kyogo.

Kauro Mitoma should be ready to play for Brighton soon, and Tekefesa Kubo has scored 5 goals in La Liga for Real Sociedad. Mao Hosoya, a rookie who has scored 14 goals in the J League for Kashiwa Reysol, is seen as a rising star in Japan and has also been added to the group.

Also, don’t forget that Takuma Asano has scored five goals for VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga. [Fotmob info for everything]

Because of all of that and the fact that Moriyasu doesn’t like Scottish football, Kyogo’s current form will make it easy for him to decide not to pick him for the upcoming Asian event.

Celtic supporters have learned from the Champions League that their current squad isn’t strong enough to make it that far.

Only Paulo Bernardo and Hyunjun Yang, out of Celtic’s eight summer signings, began last night’s match against Lazio.

With neither player still on the field after the final whistle, Celtic’s hopes of competing in Europe came to an end. The printed image is not attractive.

Last night, in a must-win game, Celtic benched one man once again, and it appears like it could be the end of his career with the club.

Rodgers benched David Turnbull in favor of Paulo Bernardo because the manager believed Bernardo might help Celtic win in Rome.

The last two Celtic home matches saw no Bernardo, however he was substituted in against Lazio. In contrast, Turnbull started and scored in both of those matches.

Unfortunately for Turnbull, trading out your leading SPFL scorer for a man who has struggled to register a single shot on goal is not encouraging. Not only that, but it has occurred multiple times this season.

Plus, what kind of message does that give Turnbull? I don’t have faith in you, even though you’re good enough to score and win points in Scotland.

Just till the season ends is Bernardo on loan. His impact on Celtic’s performance this season has been insignificant.

In contrast, Turnbull has scored seven goals in eleven games and prevented Celtic from losing even more ground than they did.

Even though the 24-year-old midfielder didn’t have a major impact last night, Celtic benched him in favor of a player who has only played 143 minutes of domestic football, yet he is still expected to keep the club’s European aspirations alive.

With no new deal in sight, Turnbull’s situation is not looking good as he approaches the last six months of his current deal. It appears that Turnbull’s tenure at Celtic is winding down.

I have heard a lot of different thoughts about Celtic’s move business so far this season, but this has to be the strangest one.

People who play for Celtic will always be tied with moves away from the club. Even more so for people who are obviously talented.

Because players get a lot of attention at a club like Celtic, whether they win titles and cups or make it to the Champions League.

It’s just how the beast is. But Celtic have made it clear this season that teams will have to pay the going rate for their best players if they want to play for them.

After Ange Postecoglou left for Spurs, the Parkhead club signed eight first-team stars to new deals this summer.

They also turned down last-minute summer offers for two of their players, which makes Barry Ferguson’s story even stranger.

Ferguson sounds like he thinks Celtic would take £10 million for Matt O’Riley if it was offered to them in January.

Recent news stories say that Crystal Palace and Newcastle United are interested in signing the Celtic player, so it will cost a lot more than £10m to get him.

“It’ll be interesting,” Ferguson told The Go Radio Football Show. This season, Matt O’Riley has likely been the best Celtic player.

“What will happen if someone bids £10 million in January?” Are they going to sell him?

“Does someone go get him a new job?” Since I believe clubs will be interested in him.

“He never really had a good night last night [against Lazio], but I think he’s been one of Celtic’s best players all season.”

He won’t leave Celtic for £10 million.

Celtic turned down a £10 million offer in August, before O’Riley signed a new deal, which makes Ferguson’s idea even less likely to work.

A recent study on football also put O’Riley’s worth at over £12 million, and that was before he signed a new deal. His recent play in the Champions League has shown that he is a player who can perform at the top level.

Even stranger is the fact that Ferguson once put O’Riley’s value at £15 million earlier in the season.

He seems to want Celtic to sell him. I understand why he did it. The Danish star has been great, helping the team win five of the last six trophies. As long as he is at the club, everyone is sure that he will continue to do well.

People at Celtic have told them that they should think about selling James McCarthy before the January transfer market opens.

The midfielder, who used to play for the Republic of Ireland, hasn’t played a single minute in the Scottish Premiership this season under Brendan Rodgers. Dean Jones thinks that teams might be interested in him when the transfer market opens.

Jones told GiveMeSport, “It will be interesting to see what door opens for James McCarthy in January.” I’m sure we’ll hear about some links.

“He does feel like Celtic has forgotten about him right now, so I think they need to think about the future and whether he’s a part of it.” Right now, I don’t think it’s likely.”

The strange story of James McCarthy’s time at Celtic

McCarthy was one of the first players to sign a four-year deal with Celtic under Ange Postecouglou. He joined in the summer of 2021.

Even though he only played 42 times for Crystal Palace over three seasons, Celtic gave the 31-year-old a long-term deal.

McCarthy has only played 27 times for the first team in his two seasons with Celtic. They are all under Postecoglou.

Since Brendan Rodgers took over as manager in the summer, he hasn’t played for Celtic in any way.

McCarthy has played for Celtic for 801 minutes, which is just over 29 minutes per game on average. (Transfer Market)

That’s a lot of money for one person to spend, at £14,000 a week [SalarySport]. It’s easy to see why McCarthy is one of the players rumored to be leaving Celtic.

What Brendan Rodgers thought about James McCarthy’s time at Celtic

McCarthy recently said that he is leaving the team, which shows that the Celtic boss has a lot of respect for him.

Rodgers told Glagow Live, “It’s a real shame for James because he was a clear Celtic fan as a kid.”

“He was a great player, and I saw him a lot in the Premier League.” He’s a nice guy, but some injuries and other problems have made his time here short, so he will be looking to move on.

Rodgers didn’t try to hide it. Brady’s time at Celtic looks like it’s over. With a little more than 18 months left on his deal, I think Celtic wouldn’t want a big fee, if any at all. They would just want to get rid of him and save money on his salary.

Not so for Jota. He loved his time at Celtic. He made that clear when he left the club, and Brendan Rodgers could ask him about it, so who’s to say he wouldn’t say no?

The rumors that Celtic will sign Jota again aren’t going away any time soon, are they?

Fans loved the Portuguese winger very much at Celtic, and I think it’s safe to say that if he came back, it would be a huge win for the team.

Jota is reportedly being coveted by both Tottenham Hotspur and Celtic. If Celtic were to pursue their interest in him, they would have to deal with competition that would make it impossible for them to do so financially.

The chance that Jota will go back to Celtic

Journalist Mark Guidi, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to think he will be back. When asked if the Treble-winning winger could go back to Glasgow, Guidi says that there is one big problem that would make it hard for any deal to happen.

“I don’t think that’s likely,” Guidi said on The Go Radio Football Show. With the money he’d be making, I think it would make more sense for him to go somewhere else, like England.

“What do you do? Celtic has Palma and Yang, as well as wide players.” Do you really want to bring Jota back if it will hurt those two?”

All the cards are on the table. I really want Jota to come back to Celtic, but I know that won’t happen. Guidi thinks that salaries might be a problem, but even at Spurs, the Portuguese player won’t get the same deal.

In that area, Spurs are stronger than Celtic, but can they emotionally connect with Jota like Celtic can, even with Ange Postecoglou in charge? It seems unlikely to me.

I think Guidi is right, though, which is a shame. I think that the time for Celtic to sign Jota has passed, and he’s more likely to end up in England or on the continent.

Many promising young Celtic players have left the club in pursuit of first-team opportunities within the last decade or so.

The most recent addition to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool squad is Ben Doak, who just departed Celtic for the Reds.

Another player who has been touted as a future superstar but has failed to establish himself at Celtic is Rocco Vata.

However, Celtic let Liam Henderson, another promising young player under Brendan Rodgers’ tutelage, go for Italy in 2018.

The 27-year-old Henderson revealed the actual reasons behind his move from Lennoxtown to the Stadio San Nicola, where he is currently on loan at Palermo, after leaving Glasgow for Bari.

“I always said if I was playing for Celtic every single week it would never have even come into consideration,” Henderson stated in an official Celtic FC podcast.

Because, in my opinion, Celtic is one of the most illustrious football clubs in the world. I mean, it would never have occurred if I was a regular Celtic player.

I had to take the initiative to better myself, though.

Reasons Celtic lost Liam Henderson

The Celtic faithful were enthralled by Henderson. Despite his high club rating, he faced intense competition for a spot on Celtic’s roster after the team had just won the Invincibles Treble.

Henderson had almost no chance of breaking through for Celtic at that moment because to the fantastic play of Scott Brown, Tom Rogic, Callum McGregor, Olivier Ntcham, and Stuart Armstrong.

However, following productive loan stints with Rosenborg and Hibs, Henderson decided to leave Celtic and join Bari after making 37 appearances under Neil Lennon. The step-up to that Celtic team was simply too large.

It’s hard to think that Henderson left Celtic over six years ago, but he and Doak show that the correct decision can lead to success even after leaving Paradise.

“Superior midfielder in Scotland”… Peter Martin asserts that Celtic have a player who surpasses Matt O’Riley.The tremendous benefit of Celtic is that the club is staffed with countless talented players who are all beginning to flourish this season.

One that is readily apparent is Matt O’Riley. The 23-year-old midfielder’s performance in the 2-2 draw at Celtic Park against Atletico Madrid earned him the title of the nation’s finest player.

Additionally, Luis Palma has been showered with praise as the Honduran destroys the Scottish Premier League and the Champions League.

However, none of those three have captured the attention of analyst Peter Martin. Following the observation of Scotland’s qualification for Euro 2024, Martin was ecstatic with the performances of Celtic skipper Callum McGregor for his nation.

Martin stated [PLZ Soccer], “When I observe our midfield trio and the way they operate, I am reminded that McGinn, who is as robust as an ox, runs himself into the ground.”My pick for the most outstanding midfielder in Scotland is Callum McGregor. “He effectively maintains the operation of the group like a well-oiled machine; additionally, we have Scott McTominay.”

Callum McGregor is considered a legend in Celtic. He will shortly depart for Scotland.

McGregor is without a doubt regarded as a legend at Celtic. The fact that he has won seven League Cups, five Scottish Cups, and eight league titles speaks for itself.

Breaking News: ‘project signing’ -Brendan Rodgers confirms the 22-year-old striker is currently considering leaving Celtic amid January transfer window

Celtic fans can’t wait for January to come around so they can see if Brendan Rodgers adds any new players to the team.

That’s what the Celtic boss said: the Hoops need to cut down on their squad. And it looks like one player is already looking for a way out.

This summer, a record number of teams signed young Marco Tilio from the Australian A-League. It cost Celtic £1.5 million to sign the midfielder, which made him Australia’s most expensive product.

Brendan Rodgers stated that Tilio was having a hard time adjusting to life at Celtic because of his injury and the fact that Scottish football is much more intense than Tilio is used to.

A report in the Daily Record says that Tilio is “considering” a loan move in January to try to get some first-team games.

According to the story, Tilio hopes that his work with the Australian U23 team will help convince Rodgers to give him more playing time with the first team. If it doesn’t, he is “open” to a possible loan move.

Ufuk Talay, the assistant manager of the Australian national team, called Tilio a “exciting” player. The Brazilian does have some promise, but he hasn’t had the chance to show it yet.

Another big fan of the Celtic winger is Craig Moore, who used to play for Rangers and thinks of him as a “project signing.”

No matter what is wrong with the young player, he won’t play ahead of Daizen Maeda, Luis Palma, or Hyunjun Yang until he gets plenty of minutes in those legs. All three of them are in great form right now.

Liel Abada will fall even further down the ranks when he comes back in December. He sounds like he could be a good player for Celtic in the future, so let’s hope he can find the game he wants.

Breaking News: “I think he’ll have to go somewher” 24 years-old celtic forward as he was told to leave Celtic Fc to save his football career this next transfer window

With so many players on the first team, it’s almost impossible for Brendan Rodgers to make sure that all of them get to play.

The manager of the Hoops has said that he wants to cut down the team in January and that some players who don’t play much will be let go.

The Celtic winger Mikey Johnston hasn’t played much for Rodgers, even though he’s been very good for the Republic of Ireland, so he might be one of the players who leaves, either on loan or forever.

Mark Guidi, a football expert, told the 24-year-old that he needs to leave the club if he wants to play more with the first team.

“The Liam Scales story is obviously inspiring for any football player who’s maybe having a hard time finding his way,” Guidi said on The Go Radio Football Show.

“Mikey Johnston, I don’t see him beating or ever getting ahead of Liel Abada when he’s healthy, Palma right now, or Maeda on the other side.”

“So I think Mikey Johnston is a very good football player, but I think he’ll have to go somewhere else to play regular football.”

Johnston hasn’t started a game for Celtic this season under Brendan Rodgers. He wasn’t on the team at the beginning of the season because of an illness, but he’s been seen only once in a Celtic game since then.
