Gamboa, McCarthyism

1073

Celtic were looking for a right back throughout the second half of last term, but in the early weeks of his tenure, Brendan considered Mikael Lustig and Saidy Janko sufficient for the season ahead. Mikael is four years into a successful Celtic career but his fitness issues are of a persistent nature. We’ve reached Peak Swede.

Saidy missed lot of last season, also through injury, but he showed potential in his early outing this term. Aspirations for the lad crystallised in Israel last week, but not in a good way. I’m not going to defend him, because he was unquestionably poor, but agreement only exists on his poor showing because he was prepared to receive the ball so often. Not everyone in black that night was as keen to get on the end of a pass.

That opened the door for Cristian Gamboa, 26, second choice right back for West Brom. We’re very keen, apparently. West Brom manager, Tony Pulis, is less in need of a full back whose key attribute is getting forward at speed. Horses for course, I suppose, West Brom face different challenges than Celtic.

Two rumours have circulated this week: Celtic are looking for a midfield player and James McCarthy’s position at Everton is less secure than it was a year ago. Whoever has been linking these two facts has overreached – or made them up. Celtic have no idea where this one came from but were clear, there’s nothing in it.  Getting the right midfielder remains a task in hand, but usual caveats apply.  There are no guarantees we’ll land all our targets this summer.

  2. mike in toronto on

    Calibhoy … saw him last summer in a very small venue perplexingly called The Great Hall … seated venue, which was nice … like LC, I am not getting any younger!

     

     

    shame you missed him this time, as he was great on this tour …. just him and his guitar (and his son Will on a few songs) .. mind you, I have never seen a bad LC show.

     

     

    He is right up there with the Trashcan Sinatras and Billy Bragg as my favourite artists …although Billy’s live shows are the best … part concert, part political rally, part old time revival show …. love him!

  3. Had a wee swatch at the “Beelers on Hun Media there.Oh dear.One saying that King will need to put up 40 million to get them in the CL next season !!!!!!!.This wee gem about them singing the BBs

    Hope we fight this, we delivered a brilliant statement in the after mass of the final and since then the club has backed down.

    They are deluded

     

    Even the educated ones

     

    I went to Ayr races last year ( April 2015,Scottish Grand National) met up with a few people,usual old friendly chat,drinks horse nonsense etc,I brought it round to football ( knew they were blue noses by a few things they had said) Pissed them off by asking ” so do you support this new team now” but all very diplomatic.Seriously tried to point out how King and co were chancers and how the new team might never be serious rivals for Celtic…Nonsense,real Rangers men in charge now,back where we belong,Celtic better watch out etc….Ok so best of luck with that
