Can see why Hearts fans love Cammy, he's an absolute terrier the way he chases everything. Would love to see him get minutes for the Roos 

From what I understand he runs a lot and chases hard but is technically abysmal. Not really the sort of player we need in the Roos middle.

I second this. Industrious mentality but is not that sharp with the ball. Suits Scottish style. would get absolutely owned in higher levels 100%.

He has better ball skills than jedi. I think he could definitely step up to a higher level

He may have better ball skills than Jedi but the latter was almost unbeatable in the air and such a formidable presence in front of the defence.He was only an average passer but read the game well and was rarely beaten in one on one duels.His penalty taking and direct free kicks were a big plus for the Socceroos and at Palace and Villa.

Devlin would do well in a Championship team with his terrier like play.He should get his chance in the Roos-if Irvine can play as many games as he has Devlin certainly should get a go.

I think Devlin suits the game style we played at the world cup really well. There is a need for a high energy disruptive no. 6. Counter attacks start with winning the ball before moving it on quickly on the counter. Devlin would be the 1st step in that. I'm glad we have him as an option even if he has his limitations.

Brighton with an 18 year old striker starting and scoring and another on the bench. On the one hand it gives me hope that Peupion can be given a shot in their youth promotion policy but they're stacked with attackers that I just can't see him ever getting there. Brighton do promote their youth but even within the club it's so highly competitive.

I hope Peupion can get a first team loan to League 1 or 2 for the next 6 months.

That's surely it for Lampard at Everton. Wasn't there an Ange link months back? Hardly think this is currently realistic or reasonable but I wonder if Ange will be listed amongst potential candidates. Lampard will surely be relieved of his duties after this performance.

Id say its very realistic. Ange has a burgeoning reputation in Europe and is destined for the EPL in the next season or two. He will be pursued by mid tier EPL clubs and Everton fits the bill exactly. The question is would Ange rather stay at Celtic to have another crack at Europe? I doubt it, he doesn't have the caliber of player to make a fist of in the ECL. He's already rebuilt Celtic and is on track to win the league again so not much more to achieve, might as well go have a crack at the big time.

Cannot realistically see ange getting a good epl gig. He’s shown in champions league he simply cannot adapt when playing against quality. 

Would be great to see but he’s very arrogant in the way he sets up. He will get murdered by the fans. He also hates criticism. 

Be cool to see him with an incredible squad one day though.

I have a lot of time for Ange, but he's the last coach you want in your corner in a relegation battle. 

I think someone like Sean Dyche is who Everton need and would probably go for.

Ange's major issue is he falls into the "Make Plan A Better" category of Manager.

Very similar to Klopp (in terms of approach). 

If you have the cattle comparative to the league you're playing in it works great, but it goes horribly wrong when he has an inferior squad (See 2014 World Cup & 2022 UEFA Champions League).

Dortmund would be an attractive fit for Angeball. Currently 6th which would be below normal expectations although, tbf, only 3 pts from third so not going that badly. Probably not enough to warrant a change of manager atm but maybe an end of season review will bring change. Ange doesn't have any German ancestry or connection afaik so that could count against him a little if candidates were to be considered. Probably being too specific with Dortmund but generally I think one of the better Bundi clubs could suit Ange. Whether he would actually be in the running or want to leave Celtic is another matter.

But with Everton he'd have a much better more capable squad than Celtic, so he wouldn't need to "adapt". He could probably go reasonably far in something like the Europa League.

I cant see Mitoma staying their long he is real quality player imo. That might open the door for him.

According to Sky Germany is that Maty Ryan could be heading to Borussia Monchengladbach as Bayern Munich are pushing for Yann Sommer this month.
Borussia Monchengladbach in preparation for Yann Sommer's move (free at season end) is also looking to fill his departure ahead of time.
Apparently Ryan's release clause is  Euro 500K.
I guess it will all depend on Yann Sommer's move going ahead these coming weeks.

Mabil was never good enough to play in La Liga in the first place. His agent must have been amazing to get him to Cadiz to start with, but when he got there Cadiz quickly realised that they had been sold a pup. The secondary Euro leagues like Denmark or Czech Republic are certainly more his level.

Yeah tbh I completely agree. It did feel strange when they first signed him. Full credit to Mabil’s agent.

Rumours that Hearts and Reading are after Kuol on loan. You'd think he'd get more game time at Hearts, and it'd be great to see him play with the other 3 Aussies.

 hearts could be a great move. 

He could get game time in a league that will help him grow as a player. I don’t think they’d stifle him either as they have big plans. 

Also having teammates there would make the transition easier.

good move for Mabil back with his old manager from Denmark. Tough place to go as a player of african descent, I hope he is treated well.

Kuol to hearts I like, would toughen him up a bit.
