I know its Hypothetical, however if we were to get into the EPL and you needed to buy 3 players to add to our team.

Lets just say our budget is £50m.

DF. MF, ST.

Who would you want.???

I'd buy Wanyama back.

2.) 16 Feb 2015
Keep van dyke. Modric type of player we lack. Peter crouch. He score for fun.

3.) 16 Feb 2015
Agree with Wanyama in MF
Ings ST free
DF between Godin/Garay/Varane depending on budget remaining

4.) 16 Feb 2015
James McCarthy

5.) 16 Feb 2015
Crouch? Doubt we'd have much change left after that one marty :/ John Park ain't so bad after all!

6.) 16 Feb 2015
Martybhoy - he doesn't score for fun as is!

Okay, 50 million to add to what we have.

Strong Centre Back:

RAPHAEL VARANE (20 million)

Powerful Holding Midfielder:

GRZEGORZ KRYCHOWIAK (15 million)

Number 9/Lone Striker:

YUSSUF POULSEN (15 million)

Harry Kane (goals), Matic (gifted player and a beast), John Terry (still 1 o the finest defenders out there and just to teach Virgil better defending.

Harry Kane wouldn't be any better than Gordon (goals) . Terry would still be good at keeping players in the house at night, so that he wouldn't play with partners . Griffiths would have a problem with Terry as he couldn't watch all his partners at the one time .
Seriously we would be mad in the head having anything to do with Crouch or Terry, both players have there best days behind them and would only come to Celtic to enjoy a big pay year or two when nobody else would want them ( apart from America).

Poetic, a tim mate of mine who stays in Germany keeps an aye on their second tier too and reckons that Poulsen is the, dare I use the term, "next Drogba". Avid watcher of the Bundesliga but not the 2nd flight but if my mate, and you (both seem to have a decent eye of the game) reckon he's good then perhaps he's worth a look. Watched a few clips on facetube and I like the look of the lad. If we're going for that type of striker I'd like Jurgen Locadia from PSV.

James mcCarthy I would go for, john Terry, you having a laff, as slow as someone of his mature years might be expected to be, except he'been like that for the last too many years, for the rest I would scout and trawl the leagues of ireland, england and scotland, for young up and up and coming talent, or go for people like Mccormack or Scougal, rather than exotic mercenaries.

It would be nice to be able to compete in the transfer market but even with huge amounts of cash I would rather it was spent on guys like McCarthy, Snodgrass, Robertson etc rather than the so called high profile foreign players in the EPL. All would play for the shirt and have experience of SPL

Yeah, he's full of potential. He's strong, has a few tricks, eye for goal and a real pace about him that a lot of big strikers lack. Infact, he's got the makings of a perfect lone striker. As your mate says, a Drogba type. I'm a big follower of the Bundesliga and Eredivisie, and there are players to be had there. I'm a huge fan of PM Lasogga (although he hasn't been quite so prolific this year) and Locadia definitely has something.

I know this thread was a bit of fun (which is why I chose Varane and Krychowiak) but players like Poulsen are who we should be looking at. Infact, I think Krychowiak went to Sevilla for little under 4 million, so there are opportunities out there to grab real talent. (Muhamed Bešić, for roughly same amount and he was a stand out for me in BH World Cup team)

Chris you had a wee giggle ay my choices, good stuff mate we all like a laff. But then you took it too seriously, come on mate its a hypothetical question.

14.) 18 Feb 2015
Rayman . I didn't think I was getting too serious . Nobody should ever take anyone too serious on here, especially me .

{Ed007's Note - I was going to mention not taking Craig Gordon serious but like Gordon trying to stop the first ball at St Johnstone's goal - I'll give it a miss!}
