Daretozlatan?

02 Jun 2016 21:50:42
I'd cry with joy! But I'm pretty sure he said he was too good to go back to Malmö, so that pretty much rules us out haha.

alpraxalom for me!

We could easily afford zlatan. We would only need to play Gordon, efe and zlatan. And win every game in the league.

Celtic media family about to go into orbit.

02 Jun 2016 20:30:48
How so tts.

03 Jun 2016 00:50:34
TTTS do you mean with us about to sign big zlatan lol.

02 Jun 2016 16:30:24
Zlatan odds to sign for Celtic are now 5/ 2 haha. Obviously not going to happen but Celtic are second favourites 😂.

So what is everyone's thoughts on Rodgers going for Liverpools Joe Gomez on loan (reported in S*n today) ? Bit underwhelmed with the loan element as we would have no chance of signing him after, but prefered position is CB can play both LB or RB very well apparently. Seen him playing LB myself a few times and looked a very tiday player so kind of not sure how I feel about it myself. could be good back up for all 4 postions at the back I suppose.

02 Jun 2016 12:47:05
Sounds like the papers guessing to me I can't see us doing many loan signings to be honest! He would be another Denayer great for a season but no realistic chance of us ever signinging him permanently waste of time in my eyes we need to build a solid foundation at the back.

Six month loan deal is pointless.
We should not be taking any loans in if there is no option to buy

02 Jun 2016 13:07:09
hope he dosent sign anyone for back up tompo, when he signs players i'm hoping its the level of player that should be first choice, i think by clearing the club of players first is a good sign, i just hope that we don't leave it late as seasons b4, would like our buisness done early for a change.

Never been a fan of loan signings as we have had a very mixed bag over the years and if they do work out like Denayer did - it only papers over the cracks and doesn't have a long term benefit to team building and consistency and we have problems finding similar replacements.
If I remember correctly, only Samaras became permanent after a loan period and that had mixed fortunes.

02 Jun 2016 14:11:34
Fraser foster as well which worked out rather well!

02 Jun 2016 16:25:34
I personally have no issue with using the loan system if its the right player in the right position. Fraser Forster was a great loan signing and eventually signed full time and brought in a good transfer fee for us. If the player isn't realistically going to move permanently then they should be here either to cover long term injury, part of a bigger plan like being in place of a youth player who is out on loan gaining first team experience before coming into our own first team or like Roberts is an exceptional talent and is a long term loan. We've had too many dud loans who have barely played and must have cost the club a fortune in fees and wages.

02 Jun 2016 20:00:08
But it is the 6 month part of it, what would be the point of a six month loan, is crazy.

02 Jun 2016 20:49:03
We wouldn't take him for 6 months we are looking for a year. Similar to Roberts Man City were only keen for 6 months deal, but we persisted and got the 18 month loan sorted so anything is possible.

The fans have responded, any thing less of a world class striker or creative midfielder will be a kick on the teeth from Lawwell and his sidekick.

02 Jun 2016 09:46:00
no world class striker will come to scotland ttts, i do however think that we will sign a better calibre of player, i don't see how you can give the manager a massive wage and not the players.

02 Jun 2016 10:34:11
I can't see us getting any world class players TTTS but it wouldn't be a stretch to buy much better than what we have recently.

02 Jun 2016 12:22:53
Agree there lads! No world class player will come to Scotland, not a chance! But there's plenty of quality players out there who would if we just upped the wages. and this it would cause dressing room unrest to me is nonsense! Ever since I started watching football the better players get payed bigger money! If someone came in on a bigger wage than what any of our current players are on and they had the cheek to complain after what they've served up these past couple of seasons, then they can leave the club! It really is as simple as that. your Scott Browns of the team are on wages way above what his ability actually merits! Bring 3 or 4 quality guys in on 30-35 grand a week mark and get rid of 7 or 8 of the deadwood taking money for doing hee haw! Its not rocket science!

02 Jun 2016 20:18:34
surely we expect a reduced role in the selection of players by Lawwell and his side kick.

02 Jun 2016 20:32:53
If we had world class players, then, surely we could have got a reasonable manager from say the third division, if he was any kind of manager he would sweep all before him with world class players, surely the point of paying all this money to a manager is for him to get average players to play like world class players, to take a team that was underperforming and to manage it in the right way so that it started playing at a much higher level of performamce,

Aindoh One of the reasons B Rodgers is now our Manager is to encourage a better class of player to the club . If u pay the manager pea nuts u are likely to have monkeys as players .
