Do Celtic want to make an impact in the Champions League (i.e last 16 each season) or are they happy with 3rd (if possible) or just to be there... Is it a rebuilding job? Major surgery or just a few players? Whose all off in the Summer? Who will go, who do you want to see go and who must we keep! Where do Celtic need to strengthen?
We need a striker. That much is obvious. Even in the SPL games where we've scored 12 in our last two only one goal was from a striker. Realistically, finishing 3rd is our best option with the odd 2nd place along the way. I spoke to a few Celtic fans during the summer who claimed Stokes would be able to fill Hooper's boots. They must feel like fannies now.
Lennon tried to get them to play too much football against team that were better at that kind of game. We should have played deeper and allowed team more of the ball and just denied them space. We were more dangerous last season with less possession. We also wasted our money in the window the dutch guy cannae mind his name and Pukki are worse players than Lassad and Miku never mind Hooper. Although we were never going to be able to buy 2 guys to make a difference in that group.
wonce du wei comes back from african cup of nations jootay i can see us progressing well into the skol cup he should form a fur middable strike quartlet with anthony stokes and georgiously stammerdas and with lenny realising that it all boades well for a 2 thousand and 4 teen salt on the champyins leeg #coybigawhsywwpa [cum on yu boys in green and wite hoop sumtymes yela wen we play away]
The goalie should be off in January , get a new one in now , can't have a new goalie breaking himself in champion league qualifiers . The end of the road for out of contract players sami and Ledley , how can they get 30 grand a week with performances like last night. Plenty of game time for Fisher , Biton and Atajic and get Mcgregor back from Notts county
Actually agree here. Get a striker and a keeper in January so they are good to go in the summer. Game time to Rogic as well- maybe even Balde. Deserves a try that's for sure
I think the squad has to many "squad players"... time for a bit of a cull Fraser Forster Sell (As Harry says - get another Keeper in soon) Adam Matthews Keep Emilio Izaguirre Sell - Chuck can be LB along with thsi wee Thistle player Efe Ambrose Keep Sell Virgil van Dijk Keep Nir Biton Keep Scott Brown (captain) Keep Georgios Samaras: Let go in Summer - sorry, but time for him to move on. Anthony Stokes Sell Derk Boerrigter Keep Kris Commons Keep Joe Ledley Sign if possible Amido Baldé Keep – give game time from now Tom Rogić Keep – give game time from now Teemu Pukki Keep – give game time, in preferred position, from now Charlie Mulgrew Keep Steven Mouyokolo Dump Mikael Lustig Keep Łukasz Załuska Dump Beram Kayal Sell Bahrudin Atajić Keep – give game time from now Darnell Fisher Keep – give game time from now Dylan McGeouch Dump James Forrest Sell Mohamed Bangura Dump Tony Watt - Dump That is based on Celtic starting to look at bringing in suitable replacements ... For SPL I'd rather see us play a mix of experience and NextGen players, that way Celtic can sign/use experienced playersfor Europe.
What is the difference between sell and dump. ? If dumping is a derogrative term do you not think agents of players that Celtic want to sign in future may advise their players to give Celtic a miss. Izzy would certainly not be a player I would want to sell, he has been one of our top players . Rogic hasn't yet proved he deserves more time . Ambrose is important to us and needs to be kept . We need to keep Zaluska as we cannot part with our top two keepers at the one time . That would be mad . What has Mouyokolo done wrong . Everyone else I would be fully in agreement with you, but I would lose no sleep if Ledley went .
I agree it is time to play more of our young players now. Wtf is the point of Lennoxtown if we dont/wont?
Sell is sell at right price, dump is accept token fees...free up wages. Agree 're zaluska...didn't think that through. Ledley has had a off-season so far but I think he'll get back to his top form.
Ledley and sami not committing to the club they have to be sold in January , even if its a million each , then spend the money on Gauld of Dundee utd the type of player our side needs and our strikers might start scoring goals through the chances he creates .I actually believe the strikers are ok , its the system Lennon plays dosn't suit them .
We won't be able to sell if there not any buyers out for the particular players . January is not a good month for buying and selling . The like of Forrest has only showed a wee bit ( down Prestwich way ) of form and not too many would be looking for him .
