http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/...ltic-in-bid-to-sign-motherwell-winger-1285027 what do we think ?
According to McCall, we enquired about him two weeks ago and there's been nothing since. Might be a last minute signing, forcing Motherwell to sell cheap.
I think he'd be a decent move, actually. I just think that buying another winger means Paddy is going elsewhere - no bad thing, he isn't getting any younger and his inconsistency is frustrating. We still need a CB. The two names mentioned yesterday were Wily Boly (know nothing about him but he has a funny name) and Richard Dunne . If it's OK, I'd rather we didn't go for Dunne - he'll be another Majstorovic. The centre half conundrum seems the most awkward to resolve.
If we qualify tonight we won't sign him Plan B signing imo Motherwell fans hate him...but that's because he is black
It use to be the LB area Celtic had an issue with ... now Lennon seems to have a blind spot when it comes to CBs... I think Celtic will have signings in mind for Champions League and a reserve list for Europa League - fingers crossed Celtic get in the Champions League and sign a CB and a Striker. That way Lennon will be able to have a first 11 in mind for SPL (using some of the young players) and a stronger first 11 in mind for Champions League games...
GIRFRY And now it's possible... the full squad can now be utilised to cater for injuries and tiredness after/before a Champions Leageu game (fingers crossed) and Celtic will be able to bring through some talented young players!
I remember some hun ****wit on here suggesting it meant two separate starting 11s: one for Europe and one for the SPL. I'm sure it was Medro.
I think signing Humprey is a great idea. Signing a Scottish based player at a Scottish price makes better sense to me than paying an EPL price. For every Fletcher and MaCarthy, who seemed to handle the move there are plenty like Millar and Goode Willie who have failed. I wonder why some of our fans jump to fault our centre defenders as Celtic have conceded the least goals in both the last two SPL campaigns. WE have achieved that and played attacking football, so really our defence cannot be the calamity case some people make it out to be. Last weekend alone I saw examples of very highly paid EPL centre defenders setting up opposition strikers to score gift goals. As far as I am concerned if mentally players are properly tuned in and if the right system is being played by midfielders and the rest of the team, our defenders can do the job. Most fans would celebrate to clean sheets away from home in Europe.
In my opinion, the CBs currenty at Celtic are no where near good enough for the Champions League Group Stages... Wilson isn't good enough. Mulgrew can play there but,in my opinion, is better on the left/left wing. Victor can play there but,in my opinion, is better in Midfield. Rogne needs a better standard of player (who plays as a CB) to partner him in the Group Stages.
Maybe we ae going to change our name back to The Celtic Football and Athletic Company, but that would eradicate our history in the eyes of some deluded fuds the other side of the city
