I'd agree with this given he's what 24 soon and isn't even a proven premier league starter as yet. Whether it's Edouard or not better than Iheanacho is required to simply stand still let alone improve.

Nah he's an out and out striker, at his best anyway, he is good at coming deep and linking the play but his greatest asset is running in behind imo, he'd be a good foil for Vardy in that sense as he can do both.

Yeah I guess there are many ways to skin a cat in this case bit if Edouard gets 15 or so starts on the whole then I think it would be a good move for him.

Plenty of players been ruined by Chelsea by being loaned out year after year, it's not a move you make if you have ambition imo.

Not much but when he and Dembele were both at the club and they did play in a two they looked absolutely terrifying.

I get that but he's effectively joining a footballer farm where he'll get punted all over Europe at a different club each season. He should back his own ability and join a club that really wants him, put down some roots and go on to make a name for himself.

This may be wrong but my own opinion would be that Vardy should be used more sparingly to prolong him for an extra season or two. If that were to be the case then I think Edouard would be better playing say 10-15 league games, all the cup games and European games than going to a side where he'd be battling relegation, I don't think the latter would be the right move for him. Maybe the plan is to play 3-5-2 next season and that's a big part of the interest, who knows.

I wanted to double emoji this one, laugh and cry

It really depends, he can play as a 6, 8 or a 10 equally well. The last couple of seasons he has excelled for us playing as an 8 (most of the time) however early on in Rodgers tenure he was equally effective in the 10 and scored a fair few goals. I'm not sure where he'd play in Leicester's system or if the system would change to 3-5-2 to accommodate him or what. It's difficult to second guess as I guess Tielemans also can play a different couple of roles and you'll know better than I do in which one he's most effective. I'd say with Maddison around McGregor wouldn't be in the 10 role anyway.

This transfer really boils my piss. Absolute complete lack of ambition from Sarr.

I'd be amazed given our exit last night if either one or both of McGregor or Edouard are not at Leicester when the window closes. Although your not in need of midfielders and there are far more priority areas needing strengthened Rodgers seems to love signing midfielders and McGregor would be useful in that he can carry the ball and drive forward from midfield, maybe less passive than a lot of the midfield play is latterly.

What's the general feeling about this then? From my angle I think he was a good player but if one big asset were to be sold this summer he'd be the most sensible one to sell and the easiest to replace.

Am I making this up or is his Dad not meant to be a bit of a twat? I'm sure I read Liverpool tried to sign him before he'd established himself in the first team and were put off because of his dad.

Jeezo, I've never been to Belfast in the best of times is a completely different world to even Glasgow in the worst of times.

Nah the current squad would really struggle playing a full season in the premier league, as it stands we'd be in a relegation battle, like I said on the other thread imo only McGregor and Edouard would make it in the EPL. That's pretty much a moot point though as given the TV money we'd get and the money we generate from selling out the stadium every week we'd have decent spending power and should be able to improve the squad fairly quickly to the point we could survive in the league anyway I'd think. Yeah your right about Lennon, I really didn't want him back to replace Rodgers and my fears about his management style from first time around are rearing their head again.

Yeah I can understand from the outside looking in with idiots on social media and stuff like that why people think it but it's certainly not the case for the majority now, if anything bar european nights our home games are really vanilla and quite mundane in terms of atmosphere in the league, certainly no IRA or religous chanting or the likes. The stuff with Rangers getting stands shut by UEFA sheds a bad light on our game I'll admit but since the days of Fergus McCann there's been a huge drive to eradicate it from Celtic park and more importantly in schools etc and to me it seems to be working as like I said at home games there is none of it now. Unfortunately there will always be a minority of idiots but like I said it's the same at most clubs. I'll testify to that having been all over Europe in the last 20 years at various clubs.

Don't you like horizontal rain and driving wind 11 months of the year? You don't know your born son Agree with the general point though.

Well that's the issue I have people are perhaps not close enough to it to judge and are forming opinions here on widely held beliefs and beliefs that were justifiable 10-20 years ago. The whole catholic/protestant thing really isn't all that much of an issue now, certainly not at games anyway. You have your idiots on social media etc who still have their platform of course but the whole religon aspect is generally not a big thing anymore.

Your entitled to your opinion but your off the mark, maybe years ago it wasn't so small a minority but now it is tiny and I'm saying that from experience. For example has anyone on here actually been to a Celtic game in the last 5 or 10 years?

Like I said it's a society thing though, Celtic in particular have done a lot to rid the club of this element. Same way we still see racist abuse at grounds in England, it's not the clubs fault but society's.

I don't think that's a very informed statement, I've been a season ticket holder and haven't heard any pro-IRA singing, at home games anyway in most of that time. Fact we have 60k fans every week maybe highlights the brainless minority more but that's not a football thing it's a society thing, similar to the racist issues we're still seeing at grounds in England.

Fair enough mate, I never seen it but happy to stand corrected in light of that. We're no different to any other club in that we have a brainless minority.

Was at that game, absolute lie.

Indeed, I'd definitely have went to the away game, half n half scarf of course

You clearly haven't watched us much this season
