Warburton finally appeared some where?

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 12:38:51
Had a look at the first team players on the official celtic page we have
3 keepers
11 defenders
15 midfielders
4 striker's
Would anyone give the 2 young strikers a chance aitchinson and nisbett or would rather we bought someone and loan them out.

Tricky. I'd like to see Nesbitt get a few games pre-season to see if he can look like making an impact on the first team squad. But is he not more of an attacking mid? I know youths can't come good unless they get a chance but at this moment in time we really need another striker and a wide man who can take us to the next level this season. I've got reservations these two would. So perhaps a loan for another season might be best.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 19:08:37
Jim Tim. . nesbitt can play wide left. right. att mid . fwd. as can young Calvin miller. aitchison is a forward . we also have theo Archibald who can play both wings . regan hendry both wings att mid. seen them all a few times and at youth / development level they stand out . high hopes they can make an impact at higher level.

It's always great to see young Celtic talent breaking through, as for a club of our size and resources, we don't see it often enough and Kieran Tierney has shown the way to other potential stars.
However we have set CL qualification as a prime target and we will need to add one or two quality players to improve on the shortfalls of last season and also give these young players a higher standard to aim for.

Agree1 Disagree1

21 Jun 2016 20:26:56
Four strikers? I thought we had one and Ciftci.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 23:07:58
wee tierney was a breath of fresh air last season the experience he gained by getting a regular game brought him on a ton i think he will be even better this season and the fact he is one of our own makes it even better you can tell he loves wearing that hooped jersey and everything it represents.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Jun 2016 00:07:09
Who has set C L qualification as a prime target The board and the management may pay lip service to C L qualification but that is all. We have never In the last 5/ 6 years spent the money early in the summer transfer window and in big enough amounts to make C L qualification inevitable and I am not sure we will do it this year either .
The club doesn't spend money it hasn't got.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jun 2016 11:26:59
Qualification is never inevitable regardless how much cash you throw at a squad.

Heard from an extremely reliable source that lee griffiths is to be sold to an english championship club for 1.5 million. No replacements will be bought but rodgers will turn to scepovic as the main striker next season.

{Ed007's Note - You're asking a guy that only in November there dressed up as Darth Vader to go and pick up a limited edition Star Wars Battlefront PS4 bundle with Vader's image engraved on the machine if he's too old to buy Star Wars merchandise? I just told the guy in GAME that Palpatine hadn't finished fixing my legs and got some free stuff out of it too!
Cheers DRB, I'll check that out buddy.}

Ooft. ed u sound a bit like Sheldon from the big bang theory.

{Ed007's Note - Cheeky Sod! Ed001's the Sheldon of our merry little band of Eds. He's a 53 year old geek who still gets excited about comic books and super hero films and who must be the only Liverpudlian not to have been given the famous Scouse humour. Forget Sheldon's Fun with Flags - you should hear Ed001's Liverpool podcasts. :=o

21 Jun 2016 02:19:42
i was watching some old games earlier ed007 and i was just thinking watching lubo why has he never been offered a coaching role at celtic? can you imagine him coaching the young guys coming through the ranks? "right bhoys today i'm going to show you how to trap the baw wae your arse" lol what a talent the wee man was.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - I don't think Moravcik really fancied managing or coaching after trying it and he's the Vice President of the Slovakian FA mate now so he's probably happy working on the administration side of the game.}

21 Jun 2016 13:35:13
aye ed he's doing well for himself now at the Slovakian FA i was reading him saying he would be attending the Slovakia games at the Euro's it was a pleasure to watch him in the hoops he was a true entertainer in the old Celtic traditional way.

Agree3 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - One of the best players from our modern era.}

21 Jun 2016 14:08:45
Totally agree with you both, it's a shame we didn't get him earlier in his career, loved watching wee lubo in action, never forget his old firm debut, 2 goals, his celebration was class! Can you imagine what our boys could learn from him, shame he doesn't fancy coaching.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 15:59:58
A always thought he'd go into coaching a can remember him showing maloney how to hit free kicks. Must've learnt something because he could hit them anol just not as well as lubo. Think lubo might be the only player I've seen scoring a corner live. Class act

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 20:15:25
What lubo has guys was a god given ability and i wish you could teach that but i'm afraid you just can't and there's only a chosen few who have it . Gift from god right enough

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jun 2016 00:18:02
Lubo might find it very difficult working with the average teenager or youngster .
Lubo was blessed with so much talent, I think he would be so frustrated working with the youth at Celtic or anywhere else . He just wouldn't have the opportunity to work with people who are likely ever to have the skill he had .
Not many really skilful players become top coache's.
Lubo volunteered some time last season to act as scout for us in his home land and surrounding countryside . I don't know if it was taken up.

Agree0 Disagree1

21 Jun 2016 11:10:05
Has there been any news on James Forrest finding a club! Did he return for pre season training?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

21 Jun 2016 03:37:56
Someone on here mentioned breaking tha bank for Joe Allen. I suppose that's out of the question now given his amazing contribution over 3 games in wales's historic campaign.

But doesn't he look like a Celtic Bhoy?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

21 Jun 2016 07:45:14
People on here scoffed at Joe Allen saying he's not the answer and not the callibre or player we should be looking at. He was before and still is an excellent player. I find it hilarious how deluded people that post on his page are and how little they know about the real world. Joe Allen would be the best midfield player at Celtic if he was to sign. I thought to myself before this tournament that it would be very far fetched to be considering him but now it just made it nigh on impossible. Good player in my opinion- plays the game well and works hard and is in good shape probably worth 10m in premiership modern day values therefor totally out of our league unless he really really really loves big Brenda.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - is the Celtic midfield really that bad? If Joe Allen will be the best you have, then it must be truly awful. And yes I have watched him many times running round offering nothing in the Liverpool midfield. He only plays well when given time and space to operate, when any professional should be able to do so. He gets overrun constantly in the English Prem, has no incision to his passing, can't tackle, can't shoot, has no positional sense but he does have a good beard.}

21 Jun 2016 08:00:15
Is brown better? No
Bitton? Maybe when he can be arsed
Johanson? Not on last seasons form

So yes they must be terrible because I'd rather have him than them. Although I like Johanson his recent form is rubbish. Bearing in mind just what I think I'm sure other people's views may vary. Need to add that on this site incase people think I'm talking factually. Just my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I have to admit I have not seen you play much in recent years, just can't believe you have fallen so far that Allen would improve you! One of the least useful players I have ever seen. He just does nothing but run around hither and thither, without actually effecting the game at all.}

21 Jun 2016 08:08:26
Is that what he did in the three Wales games that the original poster was talking about? Maybe it was a Liverpool thing and not a Joe Allen thing. I mean the much discussed Liverpool transfer comitee signed him for a few quid I think - not sure what he cost - so someone somewhere must have thought he would be a good addition even if he's not the highest callibre flair player that people want. He kinds of reminds me of what Ledley did for Celtic. Works hard off he ball and does a lot of the ugly stuff that not a lot of midfielders like doing but it's a very effective part of the team as Celtic discovered when they lost ledley.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - Rodgers signed him. Nothing to do with the committee, he was totally and completely a Rodgers call. Hence the Celtic links. Allen does none of the ugly things, he is bullied off the ball and opposing midfields bypass him like he is not there. If he did the ugly things I would love him, as they are my type of midfielders. I love players who can get stuck in and break up play, or have the intelligence to read the game to position themselves to close off passing lanes or runs. Unfortunately Allen does not do that at all, or he would be a much better player.}

21 Jun 2016 09:23:07
being deluded and seeing the real world different . because we don't agree with you . have your favourite s. and opinions but don't attack others for theirs . imo Allen is an average to ok player (not some midfield maestro who has dominated the epl ) and the 3 Welsh games haven't my mind.

Agree0 Disagree2

21 Jun 2016 11:05:35
If SJ can pick up some form again we don't need JA at all.

Joe Allen is awful.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 11:50:04
While only 1 Celtic player is at the Euros, Joe Allen has been the best player on the pitch in 2 of the 3 games he's played. And we are actually saying he wouldn't improve our team? Wow.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 12:31:29
I really can't see what all the fuss is about Joe Allen?
Sure he runs about like a blue arsed fly, but he chases shadows most of the time and his touch is very heavy.
I accept he does look busy and committed, but he loses possession and is knocked off the ball far too easily and we already have a couple at the club who are just like that as well as a few who are a lot better IMO.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It looks like people have seen him having a couple of good games for Wales and decided he's a good player, we call it MOTD Fever.}

21 Jun 2016 13:55:56
I must add I've not seen him much at Liverpool but him or Ledley would still have a place in starting 11.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 16:06:34
Lm 67 we are watching different games/ player mate he was OK at best 1st game done nothing in 2nd and ok in 3rd . his work rate without actually doing anything is brilliant right enough. he also puts the ball sideways more than peter grant. and cavalcanti I would also take ledley back.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 18:23:12
Michael McGovern has had a good few games. Perhaps Accies would accept Gordon plus a couple million.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Jun 2016 18:34:31
For me Johansen offers more than Allen so keep him n buy a top forward and a winger that can score as well as assist, unlike Forrest who barely did either when he could be bothered. A strong centre half and right back added to that would do nicely. Hail hail.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Jun 2016 00:26:34
I have watched Wales three matches in the Euroes . The first match so -so. Wales were poor against England, they never really got into match .
Last night even though Russia were very poor, I thought Wales were exceptional and never stopped going forward 3 nil going on 6/ 7 . The best performance I have seen from a wee Country for ages . Joe Allen Bale and Ramsey were outstanding and also a very good back four .
iWork's have been proud if Joe Allan was a Celtic player last night .
Now I haven't watched him often so I am not judging him on his over- all ability but he was v good.
