Looking back at past posts on the Rumours page its like a diary of peoples wishes and fears for our great club so far its 1-0 to
greenandwhiteknight calling our first signing back on the 15th May
wonder if any of the other posts come to light

I think the two positions we need cover for urgently are left back ( Izzy is going to miss start of season and defensive midfield if anything happens to brown or bitton I don't fancy going in to the qualifiers with mulgrew in there and I don't think it's Armstrong's best position, left back should be easy to fill but def midfielders because of the way the majority of teams set up nowadays are in high demand it is also a notoriously difficult position for players to bed into, so that position might be a bit more difficult.

I wonder how you come up with the idea that left back should be easily filled . We have found it exceptionally hard to get reasonably good left backs over the years .

03 Jun 2015 19:49:02
How do you work that out Chris over the years valgaren , boyd , Naylor and Izzy have nailed down the left back spot , other than Naylor ( who was decent Imo ) the other three have been top performers. Also we seem to have been linked with a few left sided defenders, so I think rd has his finger on the pulse in that regard. Why do you question everything I say but very rarely add anything positive, which one of the left backs over the last 15 - 20 years don't you rate? Don't you agree we need cover in both these positions? If not why not?

Fab a hope u aren't referring to Tom boyd wasn't he a right back with tosh mckinlay left back maybe am wrong lol 😂 but a do agree with you defo need cover for izzy cm role is fine it's a stricker that's my concern, what about hooper coming back last year of contract and ain't getting game at Norwich

03 Jun 2015 23:02:49
Sorry actually was thinking of tosh McKinley , but I think we have done quite well in the full back position over the years .

{Ed007's Note - I've seen Boyd playing LB and CB quite a few times. In fact if you check the Transfermarkt market website that some people see as gospel Boyd's main position is listed as a LB.}

Fab1 I am just trying to help you . Valgaren was more of a left centre back of three defenders , than a left back . You actually make my point as really in the last 20 years there were quite a few seasons when we didn't have left backs of the calibre mentioned . If we go a further twenty years back , the quality of left backs was also nott of the standard we would have liked.
Fab1 I am looking forward to praising a post of yours .😋😈😃
To be honest Fab1 , I think we can muster up cover for both positions from within the club . I really think we are lucky to have players of the calibre of Izzy, Biton and Brown and what I want Celtic to do is buy in players of their calibre , not as cover but players who actually will be good enough to play left back and defensive midfield on merit , not just in emergency .

So your saying that we never had a left back when martin O'Neil played three at the back? Why would we have needed one? Valgaren played left back for us when he did change the system and for Belgium and for his other clubs before and after us , so you could argue he was actually a left back being played out of position. Again I ask which of the left backs is it you haven't rated over the last 20 years, since according to you we haven't had any good ones .

Teibly was quite bad , hence the reason he didn't play so much , camara was ok on his day .

04 Jun 2015 17:00:15
mo camara was utter gash. as soon as naylor arrived he never got a sniff and for good reason.

04 Jun 2015 17:35:36
You know what they say about opinions Eddie their like ars*h*les because everyone's got one .

04 Jun 2015 21:03:09
I agree Fab 1 😃😋😀
Even left backs who came with a good reputation , the Dutch boy , brathfield (spelling) didn't really shine for us . Danny Fox was another non shiner .
I think there were quite a few .

Young progressive manager now popular
League won
League cup won
Good first signing for next season
Scotland still in with a shout of qualifying
Rangers 'Well' humped and not promoted
FIFA officials finally being brought to court
Blatter out on his erchie.
(Did you know he used to play tennis? His forehanders were crap but his backhanders were very popular)

Been a great season, for me anyway, looking forward to next one. Hail Hail

03 Jun 2015 12:02:28
TT, I think Blatter will be a sad loss to football in general and if you don't believe me come round and I will show my new Diamond Crusted Rolex. Hail Hail

I would love people who disagree to explain why. Ed might be worth an extra link to the comment. agree, disagree, disagree and why. Some people just click disagree for want of something to do or think it's funny. Others have a serious reason but don't feel compelled to open a separate comment. Just a thought.

{Ed007's Note - If it was left to me I'd do away with them altogether, they serve no purpose except giving trolls a nanosecond of euphoria when they click disagree. I think Ed001 likes them so that braindead idiots have something on the site they can use.}

ED007 and TinyTim as one of the most "recipients" of these anonymous disagreeable persons my idea is gather them all up and make them watch Sevco for a month, if they persist they get a season ticket for Sevco and a third "strike" they get a lifetime membership to watch sevco lol

{Ed007's Note - I was thinking more along the lines of sending them here.

Whats the big deal about agree/disagree? Just ignore it

03 Jun 2015 18:20:07
Graham Dyke on Irish radio reckons that the voting system in FIFA is all wrong . The strong Countries , England and Germany should have far more votes than the minions .

Good comment Tim, and you are right. Even when you state a hard fact some people still select disagree.
DN30, it is no big deal but it would be helpful as to why they disagree. I have, over the years, seen quite a few disagrees on posts. Although you don't see who they are, when you look at other related posts you can see many of them as the person has submitted a comment which opposes another post. That is feedback and I for one have enjoyed the different viewpoints and even changed my opinion on some items.
I love the banter along with the well thought out arguments. I never knew much about administration, liquidation etc. until I followed these site comments.
