If (and I mean if) the board decides to splash some cash on a creative midfielder which im sure most of the people on here will agree we are in need of whats your opinions on the level of player we could maybe tempt to sign? It would be great to get a technicly gifted youngster in but I think I would prefer a more experienced player with experience of the champions league etc. Any one got any ideas on players we could sign?

I think we missed the boat by not signing the boy Heinricksen. Other than that I'm not sure who we will sign in Jan. Ian L

Agree0 Disagree0

I think barca's xavi might be worth a punt lol. dunno who i would like but iv heard we have been watching polish 22 year old winger tomasz kupisz. Highly rated apparently.], 10 goals in 59 apps. Have you heard anything regarding this boy ed?

Celticthomas {Ed007's Note - No Thomas, I have not mate.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I have full trust we will sign a gem.f your has been journey man Joe Cole

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont think we should buy anyone. This squad got to where it is, and spending money on another player now would go against what the board are trying to achieve. I can see us buying in July, but not now. These bhoys got the club to the last 16. Let them enjoy it, not some Johnny come lately.

If we sign a creative midfielder it will be a) someone we huvnae heard of before and b) someone cheap as chips. See Wanyama, Izaguirre, Lustig, Ambrose.

Also Stokes and Bangura are still to come back. I know they do everyone's nut in, but AS is proven SPL goalscorer and Bangura has done well at AIK on his loan spell. Johnparkcsc {Ed007's Note - If only Bangura was doing this for us...........

Agree0 Disagree0

Bangura has the tools to do it so I hope he comes good for us.

I would love us to sign a quality young playmaker in Jan to give Commons a run for his money but apart from that I'm not really that fussed if anyone comes in in Jan. I think it'll be more of a problem keeping the players we have CL or not.

I think its a shame Henrikson didn't take the gamble on us making the CL, If I remember correctly he joined Bruges earlier on in the day we qualified of possibly the day before. Ed I know you were pretty excited about him, have you heard how he is getting on in Belgium?

Mac {Ed007's Note - He signed for AZ Alkmaar in Holland Mac, Bruge were one of the teams in for him. He seems to be settling in well and getting good reviews, I still maintain we should have really pushed the boat out for him:

Agree0 Disagree0

James McCarthy ? {Ed007's Note - Wigan have put a 20 million price tag on his head.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I think thats crazy money for james mcarthy, victor would mark him out the game

Agree0 Disagree0

And there's the point regarding discussions about VW. Victors done it in the CL and seems to get little credit JM with Wigan and he is a 20m player. So why isn't Vic a reasonable prospect for big money on that level. I also think Celtic are waiting for some contracts to run down. When they do we will now have money to pay bigger wages but without the huge transfer fee. SopotCelt

Heading up to Arbroath for the game 2moro night - don't fancy the chances of it being on thou! What's everyone's thoughts?

Cheers

Im a Celtic fan that lives in Arbroath, weather is fine, its crisp and frosty, but its dry, game should be ok, unless weather deteriorates badly overnight, still im looking forward to the game and have my ticket

Agree0 Disagree0

Its the "crisp and frosty" bit that is causing the doubt. If the pitch is frozen it wont be playable. Really hope its on though

Agree0 Disagree0

It'll be off,frozen pitch, whether its dry or not is irrelevant. If the temperature stays below freezing which is forecast then that'll be it. Just hope they call it off early to save people from travelling.

arbroth bought covers last season of money they made of one of the cup comps so game should be on

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Dec 2012 18:39:38
That must have taken some effort sewing together all those "covers of money" lol what happens if it rains they will go all soggy... Timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

Was tweeted by official celtic that game was likely to go ahead. Covers have been on pitch since sat.

Agree0 Disagree0

Celtic dont want and wont allow game to be called off to much of a conjestion, celtic have had their own ground staff and covers sent to gayfield fact,.,.kbarry

Agree0 Disagree0

Well done maceybhoy and all others following the team up there. Hope you have a fantastic day and good result and some fun.

Ed

Are we still interested in AJ Leitch-Smith?

Samson {Ed007's Note - Yes mate, he signed a year's extension at Crewe but will be a free agent come the summer.}

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Looked at this boys record when were linked with him in summer and checked it again after reading this , 1 in 3.4 games avg ,3 goals this season , i have never seen this boy and at 22 is he any better than watt or even someone like atajic or are we going for the price is right (freebie)option)i know tthis is probably only talk but we must surely be aiming higher than this ,,,,,,deep river bhoy

Agree0 Disagree1

Aiming higher, i remember fans saying
lubo who,efe who.victor who,etc,etc,
trust the management team who, in my
opinion have done pretty well with their signings of late.jimbhoy

Agree0 Disagree0

I remember the fans saying rasmusun who bangura who khadouri who bradfeid who , so naming the successes isnt a great arguement, we have a good squad now so maybe the scouts should be allowed to recomend players who are better than we have now rather than more squad players who might get better here,,,deep river bhoy {Ed007's Note - I'm with you DRB, I would like to see 1/2 signings that have a bit of experience, if we could get a good quality creative MF in, I think the whole team could benefit. The board can't let the fans or NL down over the next two windows, the fans, NL and all the backroom staff have held up their end of the bargain.}

Agree0 Disagree0

We should be signing billy sharp(goal machine) great replacement for hooper,.,.kbarry
