Looks like a deeper playing playmaker which would make the number 10 role redundant for me as you'd look to play 2 infront of him and let them get forward when they can, Brown and Armstrong perhaps? Tidy player, but so was Crosas and he just couldn't do it in Scotland. For a small fee I'd take a punt but wouldn't splash too much on him as unsure what impact he would actually have. We need pace desperately and this guy don't look to have it, we need a Brown box to box player with energy and a replacement for Wanyama. Coincidence that the best few recent campaigns in Europe we've had Sno and then Wanyama in the team? A beast in the middle to win the midfield battle. I'd rather spend £250k on Souttar as defensive midfielder. He's tidy with the ball and can play simple or even thread a decent ball through and get stuck in.
Patrick Roberts deal close, hopefully an 18 month deal as pointless for us having him 6 months just to develop a man city player....if it is 6 months bet on him starting every game due to some agreement in the background!
Colin Kazim-Richards? Ffs how many strikers are Celtic going to buy and move on 6 months later? Why not just buy one good one who can play for 2/3 seasons rather than a conveyor belt of ****e.
Kazim Richards has played for some good teams. **** knows how as he is ****ing ****e. This is the market we shop in now. Young players or ****e has beens
Why did they sign Cifti? It's not like he was an unknown. They knew what they were getting yet clearly Deila doesn't fancy him. Scepovic, Cifti, kazim-Richards. How much will they have cost between them? Never mind how much of a wage are Celtic still paying them all for 2 of them to be playing for someone else. Imagine the fee and wage they could have offered someone half decent instead of that shower of ****e. And don't get me started on the money spunked on bangura, balde, lassad, Miku etc.
I just can't figure out why Stokes gets sent out on loan and we bring in this ****? Stokes might be a bit if an arse but this **** makes Stokes look like a Saint.
stokes is never getting a game, so in that sense he has to go. he is though probably better than both cole and ciftci. glad we got rid of ciftci, i read nesbitt has gone to thistle as well. I have no idea why we have signed CKR though. he offers nothing and given we play one up he will be nowhere near the team.
I know Celtic have a limited budget but totally agree ... Ciftci - £1.5m Scopovic £2.5m Pukki £2m Bangura - £1.5m Balde - £1.5m Cole -wages (5 to 10k a week at a guess?) Colin wages (5 to 10k a week at a guess?) Charlie Austin went for 4m ...just saying
9m on ****ing duds Some of those are Lennon's signings though, but it's still a lot of money to have spunked away. Doesn't even account for wages either.
