Academy players are leaving Celtic at an unprecedented rate...

The board

Get Spanish coaches in throughout the academy, the amount of talented young guys who come through is unbelievable, if Celtic get 1 or 2 they think that’s a success, let’s get the youngsters who love the ball on the ball , teach them movement, awareness, most of all to want the ball in any situation and be comfortable when they receive it , not robots

It’s money driven. The same thing would have happened with Forest Tierney and McGregor if the money differential was a big back then. Making the move is totally understandable and equally disappointing.

There an old saying in football that is ( if they are good enough age does not matter) so in my opinion lets start playing these young kids and see how good they are before we let them leave

There,s been many young players showed good footballing skills,talent etc but you can't expect to walk into the first team at a team like Celtic after a few decent games, maybe not showing enough as all round team player and inexperience has delayed chances but if player reckons he knows better than fully experienced coach/manager and throws dummy out pram

Perhaps a B team playing at a higher level than the Lowland League would help bridge this gap in expectations

Simple really, stop spending wasted cash on the likes of tounekti and balikwisha and countless others and give these guys a go instead ✌🏻🍀🤷🏻

Problem is the fans don't want that, they want a player with a name, and from a superior league. Just look how they respond to Scales, Ralston, Kenny, even McGowan, Forrest and McGregor too. Our fans are somewhat quick to put certain players on a pedestal, while cutting down others not given time to shine. Donovan and Murray should be considered our future
