| Quote: Celtic Parkside Warrior™ "TBH Im hoping an English team comes in for Gordon Strachan and we can start a rebuliding program and get back to the style of play we had under Martin O'Neil.'"
The style of play that lost championships on goal difference rather than win the title in April?
Jeeze some people want blood. |

Can't see it. Everything to do with Celtic and O'Neill is automatically linked. Boruc is supposed to be Arsenal bound for £7 million according to relatives in Glasgow.

Or more accurately, took over a team that had lost the title by 18 clear points to win it by the same margin in a year, and mamaged a team to three runaway title successes, one that would have been in the bag had it not been for major distractions and one that his team inexpicably tthrew away right at the death. Add to that one treble another couple of cups and a UEFA Cup Final, beating many top European sides, and you have to see that he has a point.
Interestingly not oneof O'Neill's five years saw as many points dropped as this year. It's the shocking standard of Rangers that has seen Celtic through this year rather than the brilliance of the Hoops. |

Neil has seen sense.
news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/footbal ... 591163.stm
On another side note, I am also told that Kenny Miller to Newcastle for £1.5 million plus further incentives (ie. goals scored and dependent on European qualification) is also signed and sealed.
So thats another one and half million in the kitty then. |

Keighley RLFC - Keep The Faith: |

| Quote: phonicbhoy "I don't see how fans can complain with the side Strachan is developing. it is young and full of good Scottish players aswell as a few Brits. Compare this with a team a couple years back when I think in 1 Old Firm game there was about 2/3 Scots in the whole of the line up.
It's a big improvement and I'd personally rather see country based players rather than foreigners. At least with the foreigners they have they are top notch and also young compared to some they have had in the passed.
I think Strachan has a good balanced side with plenty of depth too. I do think it is time for Lennon to go though, possibly Balde and sign top quality with a couple of players that will give further depth in the Champions League if Celtic want to progress on this years run.'"
I've been saying the same thing. We do not have so many foreigners. We have a team made up of mainly Scots, a few Irish and Lee Naylor who is English. I like to see a team of players who know what it means to play for Celtic rather than go where the money is.
15 of 24 are from Scotland, Ireland and England. |

Quote: muskuk69 "Neil Lennon has announced he is to leave Celtic at the end of the season.
The controversial 35-year-old, who celebrated his fifth championship success at the weekend, could play on or pursue a coaching career in England.
Lennon said
Maybe so as Neil Lennon is the latest to be linked with Aston Villa after this announcement. I wouldn't argue with £7m for Arthur Boruc i think that would represent a good deal for Celtic.
Quote: muskuk69 "It's the shocking standard of Rangers that has seen Celtic through this year rather than the brilliance of the Hoops.'"
Totaly agree with what your are saying.
On players who i would want to sign for the club Kevin Doyle of Reading springs to mind.

15/24? That's a huge improvement to a couple seasons back. |

If the number of Scottish players is increasing, this is not what I deem an "improvement".  |

Now now... there are only so many Gary Caldwells to go around. We can't hog them all at once now can we?

I'm still surprised none of the Premiership clubs have tried to snap up Aiden McGeady, the kid has some potential.

They have. But he's turned them down.
Strachan is rumoured to be interested in Jamie McFadden, FWIW. |

Would be very happy with him at Celtic. A much better option than K Miller anyway.
