    I have been watching a bit of celtic lately and Kris Commons looks a handy player. Anyone else think he would be a good addition.

    He has two good feet. Knows where the net is and is in form!

    I'd rather find Marco Boogers and sign him up.

    Nah, very overrated. Saw him playing for Derby last year, and took a particular interesr in him because of the good things i'd heard about him. And, he left me very unimpressed. Bit of a lazy **** really. And anyone who signs for a club's fierce rivals, despite being idolised, must be a ****er.

    I think he was great in the Championship, But I doubt he would be up to the standard of starting in The Premiership, Going to the SPL was stupid for a good player like him.

    A bit on the small side and I think he's just about found his level where he's at.

    When I heard Kris Commons was signing I didn't blink, in my opinion we had much better players warming the bench - but then again why not stick another average Championship player on there as a back up as well?

    Well it turns out he is actually pretty decent. He isn't exactly Ronaldo from midfield in the creative sense but he has an eye for goal from outside the box. Certainly has got us out of a few holes and was well worth the 6 figure sum.

    I know you all like to deride the SPL and some of it is true, but Celtic as a football club had over 60m turnover last year which was 5m higher than Championship Newcastle's - despite having a smaller television deal and no Champions League. In other words we pay decent wages and while the league may be ****e at times we expect to have at least mid level Premier League players on board with our resources. If a player does well for us he is usually decent, but then again we've signed the Gravesen's from Real Madrid and Jarosik's from Chelsea who have been **** in the SPL too!
