He's 33 now so was 32 at that time. Barkas is 27 now and was 26 at the time, a difference of 6 yrs. A 32 yr old non-international goalkeeper coming from celtic doesn't exactly have much resale value

Game is on Bet365

1-0 Turnbull
Rogic doing some magic stuff at times.
Some wonderful football.
Lots being created. Just a joy to watch.

Agree..how good was that!!
One of the fastest first 15 minutes to a game I've ever seen.
Could have been 3 nil up.
By 40th minute Celtic players were gassed.
But Rogic...hasn't played like that for ages, on fire.

I found game on a youtube live stream, but its 2 minutes behind.

The stream I have has no commentary.  What a Joy! 
Can hear ghostly echos though of Slater and Bosnich saying "just kick it long, can't always play out from the back, give it some violence don't try to walk it in".
Just had a look at some forums.  The fans love this shit.

An example:
          It's just great fun to watch Celtic again after last years horror show.

cant help but feel a little bit chuffed to hear the scots throwing around things like "angeball"

it is magic to watch. ange with a decent transfer budget and a talented squad from the get go. 

im really excited about their europa prospects.  it's worked out pretty well. i think they just would have been hammered in champions league, whereas they are a good chance to go pretty deep into europa.  i'd take a europe semi over getting obliterated in champions league groups stages.  i know there is a massive money difference, but it's short term sugar.

And Joe Hart is 34.

Not every deal is about resale value. Yes, I know Celtic is pretty much a steeping stone for the young players who are looking for ways to get a move to the "big boy leagues" (and the money that goes with it).

As we are a "selling club"/steeping stone for most of the young players we produce and/or sign, then yes, the scouting team and board must consider on what sort of re-sale value (including sell-on fee percentages etc) that they can recoup at a later date.

But as I said at the beginning of this reply not all signings are about what sort of a resale a player offers. There are a few different reasons as to why certain players should/are signed (as I know you know). 

_______

EDIT: We only have to look at the Edouard situation. He may end up staying this season and then move elsewhere for free once his deal runs out. So signing players with a resale in mind (which I know/believe was the case with regards to Edouard) doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a resale for/from the player(s).

If Edouard does stay and sees out the rest of the season, then he better play the best football that he can possibly play and help Celtic finish on the top of the table. As winning the League this season will see the winners qualify directly to the Champions League Group Stage, and the guaranteed £30mil–£40mil that goes with it. 

That biggest thing I took out of this mornings match was how much we missed Forrest last season. He is such an important part of the team.

Ange interview post-match.

Did we pay a transfer fee for a 34 yr old Hart though?! 

Well the Celtic fans have well and truly drunk the Ange Cool aid now... a lot of them on CelticChat are now wanting him to be handed the 'keys to kingdom' as it were and given full control over the entire football department ala a Cruyff / ferguson / pep.  

Apparently the reception Ange got when he walked over to the fans after the game was massive. 

Rogic meanwhile many of them were saying start of the season should be sold now they are all saying its the best hes played in 3 years and talking about him being prem/euro quality again like they used to.

I watched the game and he did absolutely destroy the opposition at times, was dancing around them like witches hats. Was guilty of too many touches on a 3-4 occasions but you'd rather give him the license to express himself when he's ripping out plays like he was. So many times, particularly when Celtic countered the ball would be played to him with his back to opposition, in no more than 2 -3 touches he'd control the ball and have his man turned before spraying a raking pass through to a teammate who'd be in an absolute paddock of space. Was simply glorious to watch!

Can celtic resign arzani now they have ange as coach?

Possibly a better fit now for him with Ange but think that ship has sailed. Arzani needs to be playing very regularly in 2nd division side until he has consistent form. But who knows? If Ange still at celtic in 2-3 years time? Arzani could return

To BB and BOH and all the other Boys out there now enamoured with Angie. He's  not the only Greek Australian boy we nurtured for your mighty club. From one Monoethnic Club to another ....... your welcome:)

If I remember correctly, his grandfather was one of the originals in setting up the club??

I hadn’t seen that link, thanks for sharing. Bloody Greek-Aussies have been popping up all over the place for years then 😀👍🏻

😉 Yeah not just our boys, the big V bomber and Tommy Rogic surely have been great ambassadors for Aussie soccer over at Parkhead...Do you think they have forgiven us for Arzani yet? 

Yep, that's right. One of the original 50s migrants to Australia who returned with a bit of cash to the mother country..... Australia really screwed up with Giorgos though, we should have capped him for the Socceroors imo.

At 2-0 do ya nae think Big Joe Hart couldn't get a few yards further up and hae a shot or two?

God this display is almost frightening.

Probably. I think at one time I counted 9 Hearts players + Gordon all in the box.

So far it's been a pleasure to watch. Things are looking good 🙂

The commentators seem sub-par at times.  It's like they just can't keep up with the game.
 Great football to watch. Hearts can't get out of their half.  Relentless.
Rogic at times looks better than I have ever seen him.  He needs a goal though.
Second half - can't wait.

Gordon is having a great game. If not for him Celtic could of been well on the way to double digits.

Still defensively is our main concern. That area needs sorting out FAST!!!

That Arsefelt is some player !

It's great seeing Forrest back in the line-up.  We really missed him last season.

This front three looks promising, hopefully they continue to  go from strength-to-strength.

In my 50 odd years of watching Scottish football that is the one thing you don't have to worry about. It's the other end of the park that you lack ( Badly ).

He could be the player that hands you another League Title if his performances don't improve soon.

Very true - I agree with you on both points.

He's clearly got a brain fade in him,  but he was so exposed covering for Taylor that whole 2nd half, there's no wondering why he looked so shaky. I think he'll definitely be better when/if a better full back is next to him. 

that first half was one of the most dominant performances ive seen by any team in europe over the last few years.  evened out pretty considerably in the second half. it just took a formation change to bring hearts back into it and the fatigue of the celtic 11 who clearly started to fade as early as 50 minutes in.  shows there is a lot of work to go and some more depth needed.

rogic motm by the commentary and in the stadium.  looked most likely against a block of 8 in the box.  slid through a number pf beautiful passes to set things up - including at least one that assisted a goal. did his best zidane amongst numbers to take the ball through and get a shot off.  

if they had the front 3 of christie - kyogo - abada fit again i suspect there would have been more goals, but christie and abada were out with minor injuries.  it's great that ange has the squad now to put forrest and eduaord in as subs.

starfelt is a liability.  i think they need to recruit a first choice CB and starfelt needs to be battling out for the second starting spot if celtic are going to have the mettle to compete for the league and to go anyway into europa.
