Nadir ciftci will be confirmed today as Celtic have matched the valuation of player 1,5 million boys got potential let's see if he can step up coybig ðŸ€
07 Jul 2015 08:18:45
Potential being the key word. He does have something about him. But again it's potential.
07 Jul 2015 08:54:24
Good to see us getting our business done early for a change! A left back to challenge Izzy would round off a good window in terms of incomings
07 Jul 2015 10:09:34
No doubt he will get a few goals but his attitude stinks and discipline has been shocking at a lower level club(no offence Dundee Utd). I can't c him delivering on the bigger stage and that's what we need. Another cheap option. Why not jus get 1 super star and pay top dollar rather than 3 average
07 Jul 2015 10:19:09
How on earth is this a good transfer window? We've lost zaluska although not great and replaced him so far with a nervous wreck youngster who would be better off going to the championship for game time. We've signed a 19 year old with no 1st team experience who could be back up, a centre half in boyata who will struggle to match denayers performance and now cifti who's no better than Griffith although a slightly different player but certainly not a massive improvement just another same level squad player of which we have far too many.
07 Jul 2015 10:38:43
Ciftci is a good squad player for now but a LB and be happy isn't ambitious enough for me! Maybe in lawells eyes! We need another CF maybe scepovic needs another go but I can't see him making it complaining about long ball football? How often do we play long ball now? BS excuse! We need another CF I believe RD can help ciftci a lot but we don't have a CF good enough for the CL yet again!

Jim1972 how can you say this is bad? Zaluska played around 13 league games over the last 6 years, that's not something that will be missed. We have also agreed a fee with a Belgian 'keeper, 29yo for back up to Gordon. I think the signing of Saidy will be a master stroke, a player I feel Deila probably noticed during his time down with Man City. Boyata was highly rated as one of the best as a youngster, I feel after what we done with Denayer last year we should be excited about this boy. A lot of people have been having a grumble about Ciftci, the boy got 16 in 42 in a side that drastically fell after we signed their 2 best players. I trust Deila way more than I ever would Lennon with transfers, I think we should wait and see how these players perform in a Celtic jersey before getting negative.

Couldn't agree more bud! think we all need to realise that we're not going to buy that striker we all crave it! While Lawell is pulling the strings then these bargain strikers are what we're going to get! Just hope I'm wrong but I can see a struggle getting to the CL! I thought with RD winnin the double and doing ok in the Europa league would have earned him the right to get the money to add 2 or 3 quality players,starting with a striker! But I should have known better!
07 Jul 2015 11:05:09
Got to say that I agree that his attitude is terrible but griffths was just as bad when he got here but RD managed to steer him on the right track so i'm sure he could do the same here and help him live up to the potential
07 Jul 2015 12:12:07
Griffs attitude to play football is never in doubt it's his severe lack of brain cells for living life off the pitch that is an issue and always will be. RD has instilled a better training and fitness attitude for the whole squad. I agree it's the board holding the purse strings and that's why we don't have the right quality. We have a development philosophy now which is fair enough but players only get better by playing with better. U stick a top drawer front man in that team and watch the youth flourish
07 Jul 2015 12:41:40
Gary92 I never said it was a bad transfer window I just don't think it's a good window. You also say we're signing a 29 yr old keeper that's just speculation not fact as yet. I thought Ronny wanted to sign players to improve the starting team but in my opinion he's only added to the squad. Janko boyata and cifti may become better players than expected but none of the signings have convinced me that we will take steps forward from last season. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong
07 Jul 2015 12:56:33
If we signed coco the clown we'd be looking for positives!
07 Jul 2015 13:03:28
Jim1972, I think you must be the only one, or one of the only ones, who doesn't expect Janko to be a bumper. The Manchester United fans don't seem to be very happy he's gone.
07 Jul 2015 13:17:00
Well kev like most celtic and Manchester United fans I've never seen him kick a ball for the first team so I'll reserve judgement on him as I have my doubts he'll start before a fit lustig
07 Jul 2015 17:21:20
We can't say if it's a good or bad transfer window yet because we still have under a month left of the window! But if ciftci is the only CF we bring in its a gamble! Do the board not like making 15/20m in CL money? U have to speculate to accumulate! And sponsorship money would be better with CL football!
07 Jul 2015 17:59:57
Jim1972 you may not have said the word bad, but you questioned how it was good, similar if you ask me. The Belgian lad is in today for talks I'm lead to believe. In terms of Ciftci and his attitude, our current captain came under the same bracket and if you ask me us as a club changed him for the better, again with Griffiths when he got his head down. Ciftci won't be allowed to act like that with some of the experience we have in our dressing room.
07 Jul 2015 18:32:48
I am not bothered if we sign free transfers as long as they improve the team and IF RD has picked those players then I am willing to give them a chance see how they do
07 Jul 2015 19:52:34
The last thing we need is for him to be sent off in a crucial CL game.Lets hope he bucks his ideas up or RD will send him packing. Would this be the green light to sell Stokes now?
