I've saw Araujo's name mentioned a few times on here. Are celtic interested in him or is it just wishful thinking after Jota/Bernardo?

The scottish league is interesting for young and talent players to grow.

It seems to be his name in particular though over other youngsters or b team players. Is he a stylistic fit? We do need wingers and forwards, ideally with some power.

I would like Portugal to be a happy hunting ground for Celtic and if it's a beneficial relationship between both clubs. Obviously the player has to be good enough to handle the pressure here though and handle the physicality of british football.

Sounds like thats the last part to be negotiated. It wouldn't shock me if we do loan another player from you given recent history. Thats been Jota, Bernardo and Mikey Johnston seemed to have a good loan spell at Vitoria when he was on the scrap heap in our squad.

We seem to go back to countries with good value until it fails or an English team notices and outbids. Japan under Postecoglou, France in Rodgers first spell being recent examples.

We've also been linked to Tiago Araujo? with Estoril. No idea if he is good but we are pretty shockingly poor at the left back position.

I don't follow the Scottish league but it is well known that the only team capable of competing with Celtic is Rangers, in 99% of domestic games Celtic play in constant attack. That's why it makes sense to sign players from Benfica, Porto and Sporting. In my opinion, it is easier for a Benfica player to stand out at Celtic than, for example, in an average team in Portugal.

Tiago Araújo would be an interesting option, he is a powerful player with some technique. But Henrique Araújo or Martim Neto, I think they would be huge reinforcements for you.

Makes sense. One thing I will say about being in the front foot is you'll get found out pretty fast if you aren't up to it or if you don't have the right mentality. In Portugal outside of the Big 3 do the rest of the teams try and go for it against you or is it damage limitation/park the bus?

I'm not sure what Portugal is doing so well to produce so many good young players. Obviously we can't compete for your top players but the fact there's still some diamonds in the rough who either can't break through or had some poor loans elsewhere and need a second chance is pretty cool. Feels like the national team underperformed and I blame Martinez and Ronaldo for that. Portugal were carrying Ronaldo this tournament.

In another world you've got to think the big 3 in Portugal would be perennial champions league contenders if they could keep their academy players/money wasn't a thing.

Weirdly young South American players seem to have a really hard team adjusting whenever they come over to Scotland. Not sure if it's the weather or what. Seem to get major culture shock. Morelos is the only one that sort of worked and even he was in Finland first and Caniggia who was old and spent most of his career in europe.

In Portugal there are already some teams trying to impose their game, naturally their resources are much inferior to the Big 3 and even Braga. Portuguese clubs have realized that they have to develop players to sell in order to survive in European football. Our academies have been working very well but Benfica, Porto and Sporting absorb practically all the talent. Portugal is a football country and this also benefits us. There is no other sport that comes close to football here.

For a population of only 10million it's impressive. Especially as they are technically good.

Scotland produces good kids until U-18 level then seems to struggle. A large part of that is due to the alcohol culture there and diet in my opinion. On top of that its become a business at youth level and pay to play is a disaster. Prime fields sitting empty at points or fenced up stopping kids playing.

Celtic and Rangers youth academies are also abysmal. It's not a great environment to develop youngsters as fans are on top of players for every mistake. On top of that there is some nepotism with academy coaches- ex players usually who have no coaching experience. However, since Brexit you also find that any good 15 or 16 year old in the academy is getting pounced on by an English or German team before they can sign their first pro contract due to homegrown rules etc. They also pay these kids pretty silly money for their age.

Occasionally some Scottish teams come out and have a go. Kilmarnock did last year and at points some of the Edinburgh teams do depending on who their manager is. Hearts usually do against Celtic especially at home as its a mini rivalry and Aberdeen do against Rangers as the two hate each other but usually the inferior resources lose out. There was a couple of times Hears or Aberdeen have finished second in the league. In 2005/6 Hearts had a good chance of winning the league with players like Rudi Skacel, Brellier, Craig Gordon, Fyssas, Jankauskas etc,  before their owner basically sabotaged them and fired the coach. Both Glasgow clubs were rebuilding that year and Paul LeGuen was a disaster at Rangers.

I think Scotland has a small championship and that could be good for developing player development, but to do that they all need to work together.

It seems to me from what you say that there also needs to be some work from the Scottish Ministry of Education and Sport to promote another type of lifestyle in young people.

It is also easy for a young, quality Scottish player to end his training at an English club and this is detrimental to your championship.
