Not meaning to be all doom and gloom, but is anyone else a little concerned with the age of the players we are being linked with?

Obviously. if it meant stopping them getting 10, I would happily have a team filled with pensioners.

My only concern is that these guys will be keeping the younger, developing players out of the team for the rest of the season. If we don't make it this time around, how much will McAuley - 39-40, Davis 34-35 and Defoe 36-37 have to offer?

Just a little worried about the development younger players.

Ye add mcgregor 36 and McCauley 39 and 5 others in their 30,s think we will only get a few seasons out of most of these players the progrative is you’ve got a team that will push Celtic whatever the age then bring younger players on in next few seasons.

McCauley contract runs out end of year, Davis still an excellent player still captain of the national team and Defoe is still very fit he looks after himself.

Another way to look at it could be they will help to develop the youth within the club . Little tricks and turns they've learned, the intricacies that maybe we the average fan don't notice . How to conduct themselves proper regarding the media and how to look after themselves off the field.

If we’re not going on about the sell on value of players or finances of club now age concern kicks in everyone will get plenty of game time as manager has shown let’s just enjoy these signings as said before SG needs two windows before being judged be happy 😆.

I’m not concerned one bit!

The experience these guys bring to the group is invaluable!

87. We need the experience, with experience we bring stability and calmness in my opinion with the players concerned. If they both do as much as mcgregor we would be delighted.

Defoe will be great and a bit help to alfie assuming he stays
All about stopping 10 for now then worry about bringing youth through.

we have a young core to our team already so a few experienced players could really help this team out i have no doubt Defoe an Davis will be good signings.
I also think we will be scouting around to find younger players especially a striker and will sign them in the summer when we have more funds available.

Look at the influence Gary MacAllister had on Stevie G and his young teammates at the time at Liverpool and you will realise how important the blend can be. It’s all down to their legs and if the legs are still here at this level then they both will be tremendous additions. Boyd and Miller do ok at this level.
