    Its not difficult, my opening post said your board had sold all your assets, you came back with a laughable list of " assets", out of those I chose three that are assets, though you'd get nowhere near the money you've already received. Do you get it now, or do you need a diagram? Seriously.

    So what you meant to say, using actual English, was you'd consider those players to be assets. And out of the ones I listed you picked Ramirez, one who doesn't even get into our first team. All this, of course, is glossing over the fact that you said we didn't have any assets and now you're admitting we at least have some.

    Not as many as you had and not worth as much. And anyone that thinks Davis is an assert clearly know **** all about football. Boruc too for that matter. Glad you finally got it by the way.

    Bet there's no bias there at all. Of course the guy who can't get in the team is better than the guy who keeps him out of the team...

    Why would I have bias against Boruc? Try reading the entire post.

    Davis. Bias against Davis. Who keeps Ramirez out of the team. Talk about not getting it.

    Yes, I'll try explaining again, my opinion of Davis is that he's not very good and not an asset, ie you wouldn't get much money for him. Same opinion of Boruc, who had "lost it " long before he'd left us. No bias just an opinion. See.

    Even though he's demonstrably better than someone you do think is an asset.

    Because you're biased.

    Yes I think you'll get a lot more money for Ramirez than Davis. If you think you won't then as I said you're an idiot. And if you want to go back you'll find it was you that put forward Ramirez as an asset, not me.

    I think he has a point about not playing with a keeper though.

    "We" is a stretch. It's just one idiot out of the lot of you. The rest of you seem alright.

    You're a fruit loop, I never said you were. But, and this is the important bit, you'd get more for Ramirez than Davis. Even if he is keeping him out of the team.

    What's that got to do with anything then? Davis is an asset because he plays well for us, not because we'd hypothetically get money for him. Christ, I know you're used to being the fan of a selling club, but you have to understand there's more to being an asset than resale value!

    And you're not a selling club? Really! We've not sold anyone this summer, how is that working out for Southampton?


    All of your players will be listed in your club accounts as assets, cash value assets. Try some other tack.

    It tends to grow tho...it will !

    Celtic can't compete with epl clubs spending power but do great in picking up potential.

    To replace forster will be difficult...He's the best keeper we've had since boruc at his peak... forster broke records last season and helped us get into champions league last 16. He's not just an average keeper...

    I never said we weren't a selling club.

    Do you think the Gordon signing was a pre-emptive replacement for Forster? That was kind of what I'd assumed as you now have three keepers who are more than cut out for the job. You could buy a lot of class in outfield positions with the cash you'd receive for Fraser.
