Wow! Think it was me who triggered this poll!

Nice to see diff views!

My view is you have to think like them (PL) there is a reason this has NOT been filled Dublin (DION), Wanyama 67, even big vinegar in the kitchen sink (95P a letter!) they ALL have an eye in the commercial allure of this, our great club

My only surprise was that they never asked G Hopper (88) to change his name by deed poll to HOOPS!

They KNOW folks they cannot leave this jersey for ever folks! that is for sure! So do we get a Juhinino, a Robbie Keane, or a potential HL?

Only time will tell bhoys, and then we will know THERE mindset! by who fills it

To those who say retire it FORGET it! for it is only the filling of it that we get to ask/remind them of its significance! They cannot leave it empty FOREVER we will not or should not let them!

Agreed mate. Everything seems to be about making money for Celtic nowadays, always through the cheapest possible method. The phrase "speculate to accumulate" doesn't quite register with Desmond, Lawwell, Bankier, etc. I still believe if we got Finnbogason last season, he'd be getting the #7 jersey this summer!

HB a enjoy reading your posts mate! your knowledge of players (unearthed) av never heard of pal

If the post of PH is not on S1 jobs yet take a donner down to London Road job centre they might have put in there FIRST just to save money! :-)

Cheers mate. One of the WC players I mentioned yesterday, (the oldest of the bunch) Graham Zusi didn't start for USA last night n I thought I was going to look like a bit of a mug. But low n behold, he came off the bench late in the 2nd half n within 10 mins crossed in the corner that proved decisive!

Is it time for Celtic to push the boat out financially for someone worthy of the iconic 'No.7.' jersey?

Yes (63%, 10 votes)

No (38%, 6 votes)

Total Votes: 16

If any of those 6 see this, can you answer me one thing - why wouldn't you want to see another legendary player wear the #7 jersey for Celtic?

Because you may be a Sevco supporter? (98%) or you are Balde or Pukki (2%)

The #7 Jersey should be retired but if it is not I would like Ronny to settle into the job first before "pushing the boat out" on a new superstar. If Ronny identifies a class act then he will have the Boards Support. Hail Hail

@ 1, good point mate. I agree I want to see Ronny settle into the job, with his own people, and decide who he wishes to retain and who he wishes to move on before spending. But if his first signing could be a goalscorer of #7 calibre then I don't see why any Celtic fan wouldn't be a) excited; and b) delighted?!

If it's young ambitious players from different / cheaper markets we're after or those who still have potential sell-on value then there's a few who are currently in Brazil we should be looking at. There's wingers like Sporting Kansas' Graham Zusi (27) or Andy Najar from Anderlecht, the Aussie GK Mat Ryan (22) who plays for Club Brugge, South Korea's big sturdy CB Kim Young-Gwon (24) who still plays in his homeland and Saprissa's Yeltsin Tejeda (22) who plays at DM. That would also have us tap in to the North, South + Central American, Oceanic and Asian markets which would be profitable in terms of marketing / merchandise!

HB your wasted on here get yer name in for Houstons Joab

Been keeping my eye open for it on S1 Jobs but it's not came up yet!

Nae chance, Hamilton bhoy let vidar orn kjartasson go after a trial and he's now top scorer in Norway with 13 in 13 and 4 assists

Spot on Hamilton Bhoy, I've noticed that a lot lately with the polls, there seems to be a lot of dubious votes.

Ed can the Walkers vote on our polls? if so could the polls be changed to celtic members only?

TamTimTic why should the #7 jersey be retired? We should be looking to bring in a player worthy of pulling it on, a marquee signing every couple of years wouldn't be too much to ask for,

{Ed007's Note - As far as I know it's only registered users who can vote, there's no way of blocking individuals from voting.}

Ed i'm not asking to block individuals, I just think the polls would be more accurate if registered users can vote only for their nominated team.

{Ed007's Note - Registered users don't have a nominated team, it registers you for all the sites.}

When has the no.7 jersey ever been worn by a superstar that the club paid a lot of money for?.

The thing is money can't guarantee the player will live up to jersey! Money can buy talent but not effort and desire! And most players who could fill the jersey in the same way as our last iconic no 7 are well out our price range, I think the next no 7 will be out of no where but let's face it, it may be a while until we see another player like it?

Whats a dubious vote?, one that differs from your own?
