Really stretching to shoe-horn that in here. Especially considering the GB are the most anti-board faction of the support. |

Boyata for Denayer Ciftci for Guidetti Janko for Matthews I appreciate we have replaced loan players with buys but in terms of the team and squad has Lawwell delivered on making us stronger than at the season's close? |

Too many shampooe players get far too much in wages. Malmo probably have a wage bill about a quarter of ours. Really scunnered with us just now - not producing our own good players and signing average squad fillers. You sign from Dundee Utd you play like Dundee Utd. |

I said as much would happen when Deila started about his plans to fill the team with Scottish players. It's a nice, romantic notion, but it was always going to end in tears. By all means, produce young Scottish players to play for us, but buying any Scottish player who looks decent down the Pitz was a stupid notion. Almost like a FM challenge. |

Pathetic. Embarrassing . The downsizing has been going on apace since Seville . Where we had Lawwells so called blue chip signings, we now have cifti. Very few players I'd be sorry to see leave. Bang average players with an average manager. Lawwell has screwed us and been allowed to do so, helped by the implosion at rangers. A mediocre Celtic ran by men with no ambition. Shame on them. |

I'm not trying to shoe-horn anything in. I'm saying what I think they should do at the next home game. 90 minutes non stop of anti-board chants. Same again the home game after that They're also the only faction of the support that actually sing and have displays. They're the only faction of the support with both the platform for their voice to be heard and the appetite for it to be heard. Edited by McStay, 25 Aug 2015, 11:14 PM.

A quarter? Try one 8th. Their entire team was assembled for what we paid out to Dundee Utd this calender year. It's depressing reading. They weren't joking when it was remarked that our signing policy/scouting/strategy should be called "No more heroes" because that's exactly how it's turning out. |

For years now we have been failing to compete with smaller clubs with much meaner resources compared to us. This is what happens when an accountant is in charge. No imagination, no creativity, no ideas in the CE's office or in the Boardroom. And no intention of taking any risks whatsoever. We have a bottom-liner in charge who is not subject to the austerity rampant everywhere else in the club. And a tightwad billionaire who is the only one on the planet not prepared to subsidise the football club he effectively owns. Celtic have never had people in charge who are up to the stature of the club they look after. Edited by Faust, 25 Aug 2015, 11:18 PM.

You keep downsizing, and I include the manager, eventually it bites you on the arse. We aim to come out every transfer window stronger. People still believe it too. Lawwell's time is up. |

Agreed. Think there's also an issue with the type of players we're buying from within Scotland. We're in an odd position where our highest profile players (internationals for decent teams) are at the back. History shows that you could probably mould a decent defence from some better SPL players if they can do the basics, show discipline and the tactics are right. We've had defences who have done OK in Europe with Jackie McNamara, Stephen McManus, Gary Caldwell, Mark Wilson, Charlie Mulgrew etc. Christ, the huns made a UEFA Cup Final with David Weir, Kirk Broadfoot and Steven Whittaker FFS. We're trying to fill our creative, attacking positions with SPL players who are just too limited to do the job. You can get away with average players, who don't necessarily have any standout attribute, in defence. You need some players who have some kind of ability to change a game in the final third - Naka-technique, Hartson/Sutton physicality, Agathe pace. 3-4 years down the line Kris Commons is still the only genuine potential match winner we have in the whole squad and he's not even good enough to start. |

Do me a favour with the 'willfully contrarian' pish - every single thing i have ever posted has been genuinely felt. I couldn't care less whether my posts are shared by the many or the few. 10 years after I called Lawwell out for pulling the plug on Hasselbaink, for signing Roy Keane against Strachan's wishes and for selling Kenny Miller behind the manager's back - people are accepting that the manager's position at Celtic comes with certain clauses. One of which is that players will be foisted on them by John Park (Bangura, Scepovic) and that Lawwell has final say over who is worth what. |
