We have three right backs on paper. In reality we do not have three right backs that are usable. Lustig is there and he's 1st pick. He's a solid defender and he uses the ball well, but he's inury prone and he lacks pace. Of all our starting-11 players, I'd argue that Lustig is the one we could most easily improve on. Rodgers doesn't rate Gamboa and doesn't use him. The fact that he's at the World Cup means eff all in that regard. He's not seen as a viable option by Rodgers, even as 2nd choice. Ralston is young and I'm not going to write him off, but he's clearly not an immediate option in that position for us. He would've had plenty of chances to play in the second half of this season but we sent him on loan to a Championship team instead. There will be about 20-30 games next season that Lustig doesn't play (if last season is anything to go by) and Ralston clearly isn't going to be the man to start those games. Hendry is never a right back in a million years, he's effing terrible in that position and our record when he plays there reflects that. Not everything Rodgers does is some kind of masterplan. The situation at right back isn't how it's supposed to be, it's not on purpose. Arguing otherwise smacks of the "Musonda needs 6 montsh to settle in" patter.

I've saw Calvin Miller even less than that and he's not good enough How long are we supposed to wait before being allowed to determine if someone is good enough? The defence isn't good enough and so far, the manager has made most of his transfer blunders in the defensive area. |

Having been out for three months from late October, Celtic had a choice to make over what they did about Ralston's rehabilitation. As it turns out he went and made 15 starts for Dundee United from mid March, instead of taking up a spot on our bench and getting isolated minutes here and there. The manager probably views that as sensible and in his and the player's long term interest. It would be difficult to disagree. I'd have a different reaction if he was 23 and going nowhere. So this is in no way proof that he's not worthy of consideration. Lustig wobbled badly last season. I think he was cut a fair bit of slack (too much) but he was clearly being shown some loyalty ahead of a World Cup. Ultimately, I don't really have an issue with that. He's been a good servant and a once in a lifetime thing for him might have been at stake if it had worked out differently. The point remains the same. I'd judge the manager on what he does, not what you want him to do. Celtic are on the hook for quite a lot of salary for that area of the pitch until at least this time next year. Nobody gets to just ignore that when listing demands. |

SO no-one has any idea of who we are looking at signing? Can't remember a window when there has been so few rumours. |

Terry would be much more mobile than Toure. He’d be excellent for a season. He is a fud though.
