According to an exclusive report from TEAMtalk, Celtic are readying a January move for Crystal Palace midfielder James McCarthy.
And it’s safe to say that many fans don’t want to see the 30-year-old arrive at Parkhead ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.
TEAMtalk claim that the Hoops are willing to offer the boyhood Celtic supporter a contract, which would then see him join for nothing at the end of the season.
The report suggests that McCarthy, who joined the Eagles from Everton last year, is viewed as a possible long-term replacement for club captain Scott Brown.
McCarthy has made 40 appearances under Roy Hodgson since joining Palace, five of which have come in the current campaign.
We shared the story on our official Read Celtic Facebook and Twitter pages.
This is what these fans had to say, with the majority against a move for the Irishman.
One fan even described a potential move as ‘Shane Duffy-esque’.

Hamish Mcintosh: That sounds like Peter Lawwell at his best for me.
Hilary Canning: Here we go again thought Turnbull was to replace Brown what’s he had two games if lucky
