Spoke with a friend in Zagreb he supports dinamo but has Celtic as his other favourite team to get the lowdown on Jozo came into the side 2seasons ago started well played most games that season and the start of the next but then his form really dipped for the last 6months or so in and out of the side and his career was going backwards,when dinamo turned Celtic first bid the club came under a fair bit of stick from fans for turning it down,in Zagreb the fee involved was thought to be 4m euros.The fee this time he believes is 5.5m euros with add ons .Having been at both games between Celtic and dinamo,he considers VVD a much superior player so this signing would appear to be another Project certainly not a like for like player understandable with the money for both player being so far apart.Will find our shortly if it's a good buy or not as would appear his first game will be at Aberdeen,a good as place as any to show us what your made off,good luck Juno.

I really can't help but think that celtic football club is approaching something of a rubicon moment with the translate window coming quickly upon them, to carry on with this buy cheap sell dear philosophy was always going t o be a hugh gamble for the simple reason that if a window or two passes without unearthing a couple of gems and you have already moved the better players on then you arrive at the stage we are at now, poor squad bereft of real quality of no real experience to boot, and not to put a finer point on it but we now have one of the poorest squads in a great many years. If the board harbour any ambitions for the club then they must revisit their latest business model, be man enough to admit mistake and use this window to at the very least to halt this backward trend to come out of this window stronger than we enter the window which sadly we have failed to do over 3or4 Windows now, it really is time for an injection of experience and quality to the squad not for more projects we just can't afford more inexperienced players at this time, strongly feel how the powers at be behave in this window will have a profound effect on our club for many years not only in their short term but for the foreseeable future, time to man up Peter and Dermot.

Just read the Collins interview and on the back of delia's interview after the match the only word that comes to mind is deluded both of these guys are not prepared to take any responsibility for the dross that we are having to watch, game after game, after game, I watch a few games from this week, ghenk, Astana, psv, teams that if you judge purely on finances should be on a par with, but if you judge it on the players these clubs have and the way they play we are light years behind them and that is solely down to the scouting team and the management team those teams spend even less than we do on players but obviously there recruiting is of a much higher calibre, or their coaching is you just can not escape this fact, finally on what basis does anyone believe that Ronny deila is the man to lead another attempt on Europe in a little over 6month's time, I just fail to understand what they have seen in the last 2campaigns that would even hint that he could succeed and before anyone says WHO would take the job make know mistake if lawwell were to advertise the job the applications list would be as long as your arm and of a high standard just as long as lawwell doesn't put in preconditions I. e. I'll pick your assistant your defensive coach ext. lawwell and the board are trying to downsize celtic and celtic fans expectations because it makes their job so much easier no Europe to worry about no need to make an effort to find good players, good manager just win a 1 horse race and the money's in the bank, happy days, why take any form of a gamble or actually, God forbid, put yourselves out, nah downsizing the way to go.

Here's a basis I think people need to start getting into their thick skulls.

The clubs you mention, and many others have produced their own good players for decades. Celtic have been lightyears behind and have produced nowt.

Ronnie DEILA has as good a track record as anybody we could, or would, afford of helping producing good young players.

KT has looked our best player of late. Because he's young. He's of an age where now he can play, he is learning HOW to play. The process of education takes more than a year and a half to see the benefits.


2.) 28 Nov 2015 13:55:16
That is a top rate post and eloquently put.


3.) 28 Nov 2015 16:30:05
Ok Jim Tim tell me some names of players at Ghent, PSV and Astra that those teams have produced who are playing for them? So please don't just make comments to try and back up an argument. You have no idea if these teams do or don't produce players. Next point. Ronnie Delia was at His previous club for 6 years before he won the league. He didn't dominate Norweigan football he won the league once in 6 years. So where is this guys fantastic track record. He has won 1 cup and 1 league title in 10 years before he came to Celtic. So there is no basis to say this guy can do anything extraordinary. Following him is just about blind faith. He has an ordinary CV. He ain't some visionary manager. If he went and worked under a top manager he would I am sure learn a lot and maybe come back as a good manager but right now he had too much to learn. Qualify for CL next year? Give me a break. Bottom of EL group. That says it all. You can't get any lower than bottom. 2 points out of 15? Please stop trying to make a case for him. There isn't one based on what he has done here in 20 months. So as I said it's just about blind faith if you think he can make us into a decent side.


4.) 28 Nov 2015 17:39:09
Delia can be credited with developing Johansson, Tierney and Martin Odegaard. Good record for his coaching talents. There may be a case for keeping him as a coach and bringing in an older head to actually lead/manage tactics but would be a hell of a dynamic to manage with players who I already suspect don't have a lot of respect for him. This older head still escapes me as RD would probably have a huge dent in pride/CV. Question would also be raised about if someone so good comes in would keeping RD seem justifiable. How much of a gamble would it be, even with full board support to give him another year? Too much on what I've seen. One thing for sure for me is I have no scooby what John Collins does/is even there for.


5.) 28 Nov 2015 18:02:29
I may be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Deila was being lined up to replace Mjallby as Lennons no2?
I don't know when this was to happen, but he 'won a watch' when NL resigned and possibly the board installed their own assistants as a precaution and - God forbid - Collins would potentially be promoted as the next Celtic manager!
Now that's a nightmare scenario.


6.) 28 Nov 2015 18:06:26
I think we are where we are and we can continue on the basis that sticking with the Scottish born youth augmented with good players from overseas that want to play for us . Or we can tear it all up and go for a super coach who is just waiting to take over Celtic sign super stars and have us competing at the business end of Champions League every year .
I hope Deila stays/kept and he is able to move Stokes Commons, Mulgrew and Derk ASAP we don't need many new players in, but those who come need to play a major role . I think the time is ripe from now until the end of the season to bring in four or five youngsters into team and give them a wee run .


7.) 28 Nov 2015 18:55:37
OldBhoy what 5 youngsters do you think he should bring in or are you suggesting any 5 that are just kicking about? OldBhoy all of the decent youngsters are out on loan. So much for Ronny developing his own. Do what 5 do you want in the team?

{Ed007's Note - So Alex Ferguson didn't bring through Beckham because he spent some time out on loan at Preston North End? What an odd outlook.}


8.) 28 Nov 2015 18:33:48
Aye, reckon I agree. Might sound like I'm contradicting myself but as untenable as things may be for Delia having another pop-I don't see any other alternative. We are not going to get anything like a Moyes, Sherwood or even Howe. The DoF thing is something that I wouldn't even be able to comment on in an informed manner of any kind. Big thing I agree fully on is putting the likes of Nesbitt and Tierney on as much as possible for the remainder of the season. Even at the expense of a treble. I think I'd find more solace in a bunch of kids getting blooded and showing if there is a case for them coming through than getting the treble.


9.) 28 Nov 2015 18:39:19
I think we can do both. Stick with the aim of bringing in the best young talent in Scotland and get a better manager who will make them better players. RD has had his chance and failed 18 months with no progress, he is a flop.


10.) 28 Nov 2015 18:52:28
johnnymac i think you should do some research into Ronny before spouting off about him stromsgodset were a perennial relegation candidates and them winning the league was akin to say st. mirren or kilmarnock winning the spl also more importantly for our board was his record in player development now i don't have the actual figures but i know international players coming out of that team went from next to none to dozen's while Ronny was in charge there ED007 may have better info on that.

{Ed007's Note - Between 2001-2007 not ONE single Stromsgodset player earned a youth cap (including under 21s) for Norway. However, in just 5 years under Deila, the figure reached 179, that's works out at an average of 36 per season.


11.) 28 Nov 2015 19:28:23
Thanks ed knew u would have had those figures for me that is showing as a huge success bringing those players through and i bet that's what our board are wanting from deila lots of international youth's to sell on for profit but also the players he brought through helped win the league for a club that were not expected to.


12.) 28 Nov 2015 20:00:52
how many of the 179 went on to full caps and how many are still full caps.

{Ed007's Note - 179.}

Boyata, Armstrong and Johansen are bigger problems.


2.) 08 Nov 2015 20:22:25
The silly formation we play, Armstrong will always try his best but not get any credit, he's not a wide player and never will be!
As for Boyata and Johansen, that is their position lol and there worse!
Bigger problems than that tho.

Jeez really is time to call a. Spade a Spade this performance is totally unacceptable, some of the players pulling the hoops jerseys over their heads are unacceptable but it has to be said the time has come to kick all the spin coming out of celtic park regarding Ronny deila into touch for once and for all, how low do celtic have to fall before it finally dawns on everyone connected to celtic that nice a guy as he is, he is totally and absolutely out of his comfort zone. to play an European game at celtic park against a team 6th in the norway league and not be able to string 2passes together and have an 18year old full back as the only player on the pitch with any heart is just plain unforgivable, time for this decent man to do the right thing admit your not up to it and go.

Matty c

1.) 05 Nov 2015 20:59:34
Exactly. It's the next lot of 18 year olds coming through where we'll see the benefit of RD staying, to some capacity. Bring in a new defensive coach sure. And/or an experienced tactitian. Ronnie can either take a step back, as initially sounded, be given a different role or title or whatever. The board need to sell up or change their transfer policy also. The guy making the signings needs sacked. No quality or experience brought in. Too many of those players don't have an oz. about them.


2.) 05 Nov 2015 22:21:18
Jim Tim so you are saying Ronnie should not be manager any more? So you must then agree he is not up to the job!


 

 

15 Sep 2015 15:04:29
Last week I posed the question,has Ronny lost the dressing room ,over the last few days bits pieces coming out suggest there are problems simmering behind the scenes.Now I would like to pose another question.now let's say just for argument sake that the problems are at a much higher level within the club's hierarchy with a split between those who support lawwell and his enormous ego,and those who would rather have players on the park,than money in the bank,is it also possible that individuals within the club see it as their own private dynasty and are preparing the ground to install their own people within the club,has this filtered down to the players,lack of form is one thing,lack of heart and fight quite another,will Ronny survive the infighting no,will the new man if their is one ,remember this is just a question asked,if another is appointed will he receive more backing from lawwell most certainly is it going to be an eventful season,you can bet on it.

Whatever the reasons or underlying problems, the supporters (going by most of the comments on here), have been worried since WGS left, that we have constructively, stripped the club almost bare, of every asset in the playing squad;
Meanwhile giving untested and inexperienced managers the task of maintaining success and profit-making while tying their hands behind their backs - as far as investment in the team and transfer budget.
It is well documented on here, that since the death of Rangers, we have not only stood still, but are going backward in terms of CL football and good quality players.
Never in our history were we given such an opportunity to go from strength to strength (without our main rival) and cement our status as a major European club.
If there is unrest in the dressing room (or boardroom) it will become very apparent very soon by our results and continued under-par performances, starting on Thursday?

Paradisewon, very good post, agree with the vast majority in fact will go even further Ronny deila from a short time after he came in never had the dressing room fully, and with every passing week loses more and more players and the truth is we are running out of players to hand long contracts to so they are kept onside, not really Ronny s fault solely as he was purely a pawn in lawwells gamble, and in the weeks ahead I feel a lot more fans will be viewing the glass half empty, rather than some who view it as half full and still support Ronny as a suitable manager of celtic, can only end in tears I just hope the real men to blame lawwell and his cronies when the sword falls it fall squarely on them.

Gerry c agree with most of your post it's spot on, were I would disagree, it's not what their ambitions for the club we need to know, it's their ambitions for themselves were the danger lies.

Dn 30 I listened to the deila interview and he left no doubt that it is his decision and his alone who signs for the club, also I especially watch ronny during the seconds half when a blind mans dog could see it was going wrong and all that struck me was here we have a manager who give a terrific impression of a rabbit caught in the headlights, I fully understand you want deila to be successful like every other celtic also wants him to succeed, but imo that will not happen not now not in a year's time, not in 10 years time, lawwell took a punt in the dark by bringing in deila and I believe most fans have given him a fair crack of the whip but I ask you this, is the team even slightly better than the team that lost to maribor 19 signings later. the reality is the day lawwell went over his head to bring in Collins and Kennedy was the day that the dressing room was also lost, contradary to what some people think most players are not as thick as an elephants foreskin and very quickly worked out what Ronny was about and that his stay would be short.
