Anyway looks like a confident and amiable young man. If he can turn that into scoring goals and being a big part of our squad then bring it on!

If he can turn that into scoring goals and being a big part of our squad then bring it on!I'm guessing it's a part of their club's social media, a bit like our Inside Matchday thing but with a player mic'd upI don't know anything about his ability other than what I've seen on his highlights reel, but he seems the sort who'd be good in the dressing rooom and Rioch did always say it's important to have a few scousers in there

August 9Aug 9 Hard to judge Max Dean from afar, we just have to trust the "process".Similar to the signings from Scotland and Ireland (past and present), we just don't know till we've seen them in a few league games. The difference this time is the league games are in the championship, we can't just take a punt on a bit of potential.His goals for MK Dons have to be taken in the context of being in L2, there are plenty of players that have scored more in L1 that we wouldn't be keen to sign for the championship. So its another wait and see one.

So its another wait and see one.I think we should also weigh in the fact he's scored at one goal every three games in the Belgian top flight. Obviously not the best top division in Europe but it will certainly be far from the worst.Anyway... we need to sign the lad first before we have this debate in full. And if we do sign him we'll probably see him and be able to judge for ourselves soon enough.
August 9Aug 9 So do we think Max Dean is instead of Kenny? Or more likely that we want Dean and Kenny?

August 9Aug 9 Think if we sign Dean don’t see us signing Kenny as well and tbh think Kenny wants to stay at Celtic.

So its another wait and see one.Bristol City have just spent 10m on two forwards who do not have a CV as Good as Max Dean has.......He was 18 when he got a goal in just over 2 games for MK Dons. Had two decent seasons in Belgium........We are not getting better
August 9Aug 9 Just now, Rizlar said:Think if we sign Dean don’t see us signing Kenny as well and tbh think Kenny wants to stay at Celtic.I have no issue with a player wanting to fight for his role in what he, given his background, probably sees as the epitome of clubs The fact that the club persists in buying player after player above him makes that a bit daft. Add that the fans, almost to a man, think he's shite doesn't help.But, ffs, tell us he's not available so that door closes. We'll sign him, maybe on loan, in January when he's spent 5 months on the bench & barely got off it.
August 9Aug 9 If Kenny doesn't want to come then fuck him. He can sit on the bench for Celtic with a bunch of twitter mongos that think he's shite.Get this scouse lunatic in and we can all crack on. Him and McAtee should get on like house on fire.

Or more likely that we want Dean and Kenny?We're obviously keen to get someone in with 2 first names, I think its one or the other. 2 strikers with no actual surnames would be too much. Finally replacing Dion Charles hopefully.

Is anyone expecting him to say I'm off?It'd be the same if McAtee was asked what he wants to do, he's hardly going to say I'd like to move to Barnsley on less money please.What players (and managers) say about potentially staying or moving is irrelevant 90% of the time, surely we realise that by now.Kenny knows as much as we do he won't kick a ball for them after 31st August.

We don't know till we see whoever signs, over a period of time. When its players we'd never heard of till last week.

August 9Aug 9 Well I personally think we’d struggle to get a better fit for our money than Dean and if through dithering we lose him to another Championship club then serious questions will need to be asked about recruitment. We don’t know the Kenny situation but other potential targets are still about like Pepple, Wareham Sidibeh, Joe Taylor and many we won’t know about so hopefully something will be done before Saturday?

Soundtracks to the Rocky/First Blood/ Karate Kid movies . Plenty of hair metal , Meat Loaf , Opus , Y&T . Brings blood to your shoulders .
