A good striker would have been able to hold the ball up or create chances out of nothing. This would have helped to ease the pressure on our ropey defence. There's also a fear factor that some strikers have that can unsettle opposition players. If Henrik Larsson was playing for us last week he would have commanded a whole lot more respect and fear from Malmo than Griffiths and Ciftci did. |

This. Looks like we've had our bitch and moan overnight, and in that same time, we've had latest developments at sevco towers, keeping the vast majority of the support nice and distracted.

Dd thought that his charm and connections would ease us into the epl and making 10x or more his investment if he wanted to exit Fergus' view was that we should fight all and sundry - we might not win but in the inevitable fall out we may benefit We've ended up following dd strategy and it's delivered nought as the focus was always on the premier league, then epl 2 then British cups etc as and time has past we've been more and more marginalised As time progresses and we look back not only fergus looks like a genius compared to current incumbents but so does the likes of Alan Atlantic league macdonald - it's a truly sad state of affairs I look back to the night after Seville when sitting pissed in Portugal I was extraordinarily proud of Celtic as a club our support and thought nothing could hold us back from being a world renowned club of real quality 12 years later and we are nowhere - well done dermot and peter Ps wtf is delia thread closed - he comes out with a press release of the height of effin nonsense and thread is closed day after No hun thread no manager thread Jeez first they came for sevco thread and we did nothing then delia thread wtf next Edited by sevilliano, 2 Sep 2015, 10:59 PM.

Seems to me that we want success, according to the stuff av been reading. At all costs. We could print money, or find an arrangement where we just raid your bank account an then you refund yer own lost money. Laudrup anyone? |

Taking this post from antonrogansrightboot in the transfer thread, genuinely not to single him out, belittle him or anything like that. Simply because I think it exemplifies some of the perhaps "cross-wired" thinking - for want of a better term - that I often read on here about our signings.
Were we really excited by Van Dijk when he joined because he was going to excite? or was our interest piqued because he was signed for a decent fee (by our standards) and that there were some positive reports in his home countries media? How many on here had heard of him, never mind watched him play for any length of time? Looking back, how does his signing then differ from Simunovic today? other than that we didn't buy Van Dijk to replace someone we sold for a huge sum of money. Surely, we know that when we sell players for eight digit sums, that those are players who have outgrown our environment - as frustrating as that is - and we cannot replace them with anyone with the same current profile (because these players 99/100 want to move on and further themselves in better leagues). Then there's Wanyama, I dont recall anyone being excited about him at all, a young guy signed for just under a million when we had Brown, Ledley, Commons and Ki contesting midfield positions. It's clear when we look back he came in as a nobody fighting for his chance, and left as a star player. Our recent history is littered not only with players who we didn't really know much about or expect much from, but grew into either solid performers or star players. Going back a little further we made signings that were "blue chip", relatively high profile players that provided only sporadic levels of high performance. When was the last time we were able to sign "Good quality, known commodities"? In the current commercial european football landscape, we are firmly rooted as a stepping stone club. Why can there only be little, to none of that hope for the seven signings we've made this window? Edited by Tictical_Genius, 3 Sep 2015, 01:41 AM.

Yep, we did the appropriate gnashing of teeth about 5 seasons ago, not much left to say. No one was surprised by this at all, surely? Untill Lawwell gets bored and retires, this is our lot. Edited by drks, 3 Sep 2015, 01:44 AM.

You're right. We were not excited by Van Dijk or Wanyama until after they had played a few games. So every signing is a gamble, whether you are Celtic paying 2.5 million or Man United paying 55 million for a player |
