A number 10

936

A journalist friend in Norway tells me Jo Inge Berget is a traditional no. 10, not a striker. We need both. Kris Commons fills the creative roll almost exclusively, we need someone to share the burden, but we still need a strong, penalty box striker, who can stand up to the pressures of Champions League football.

Best of luck to Tony Watt, best of luck to Standard too, who I hear have put a lot of skin in his contract. Belgium should give him a better chance of fulfilling his potential than anywhere in the UK. It’s head down and work hard time.

    Has Robertson signed for Hull?

     

     

    I read somewhere that he had reservations about going there, as he wanted to fe at a club that would further his career.

     

     

    That sounds like us.

     

     

    I don’t see him as in competition with Izzi, as Emelio would be more comfortable moving up one position.

    PS.

     

     

    If we are interesting in Robertson, then cash plus a player or two could be the answer.

    Any Edinburgh based CQNers planning a meet up for the game tomorrow? I usually watch the Celts in the Phoenix on Broughton Street but it was full of diet huns the last time and I’m up for trying somewhere else.

    Robertson is 20. What you said though makes perfect sense as to why we didn’t pursue him and that I should never be in charge of our transfer budget :p

    Parkheadcum….,

     

     

    There seems to be an accepted wisdom on here that as long as you declare to be a Celtic supporter, then you can state whatever you like, no matter how unfounded and anti Celtic it is.

     

    Stuff that would have us spitting feathers if it came from a SMSM keyboard, is accepted because it comes from ” a good Cellic man”.

     

     

    I am one of those perverse types who expect higher standards from Celtic supporters and manage to keep my negative thoughts to myself or share them in the intimate company of fellow supporters……not publicly on blogs, where the hacks fill their boots and their columns.

    I’d suggest Malones at Forrest Road mate – big screens and usually a few tims when games are on. Last time I was there we played Hibs and it was mobbed. I think Desertbhoy was also looking for a drinking partner for tomorrow evening. I may go along – depending on childcare.

    Thanks, wasn’t sure if it still a goer.

     

     

    I don’t really know anything about the boy, apart from seeing him play against us.

  10. Re Andrew Robertson

     

    I will be sad to see him go down south,We at Celtic had him as a youngster prior to him going to Queens park.I think he would be a good addition to our team.He is one of those players who has benefitted from playing regularly,first with Queens Park then with Dundee United.I wish him well and hope that sometime in the future he wears the hoops.

    Hypothetical I know, but Izzy could only play ahead of a.n.other LB in a 4-4-2 ,IMO.

    call me gerry,

     

     

    Formations get too complicated for me.

     

     

    Izzi’s best work comes from middle to front, I think, so .i thought if he could be used in front of a traditional LB, then he would be more effective, while keeping the back door secure.

     

     

    Would 4-1-4-1 work, on a horses for courses system?

    One thing that worried me a little in Ronnys statement is looking for players who can play a few positions, too many journeymen and too few specialists does not inspire me.

  23. Whilst the quality of the leading article is always good, is worth reading and discussing, the posting on CQN has become increasingly rancorous.

     

    Perhaps Paul67 should introduce an IQ test for would be posters? Before anyone shouts “elitist!”, I only advocate a pass mark of double figures. This would, I’m sure, remove the few who have turned a once unmissable scroll through amusing, entertaining and often enlightening Celtic supporters chat into something more akin to watching a family fight at a wedding.

     

    This benchmark would, of course, exclude me but I’m happy to do what I usually do, simply enjoy the thoughts/musings and occasional rants of the majority who made the site what it was.

     

    Anyone know of a decent Hostelry in the Glasgow area where I can watch tomorrow night’s game?

    Do you mind if I do a little “market test” given your regular match day attendance?

     

     

    1. If it could be demonstrated to the non blogging support that the titles Rangers won in 1999 and 2003 were won using players paid by unlawful methods to pay them (irregular ebts) then would the support wish those titles removed?

     

     

    2. If it could be demonstrated that Rangers concealed the unlawful ebts from the Lord Nimmo Smith enquiry (this misleading him) should those titles go to Celtic to serve justice?

     

     

    3. Or is simply not something the wider support would care about even if they had the supporting evidence?

     

     

    1.Yes

     

    2.Yes

     

    3.more information critical to the topic always helps.I dont think any supporter will walk away from this topic.It is a rfc problem only in the conception and roll out as a matter of company policy was theres.The resultant fallout affects every member of the league.I would pursue them.It is important for confidence in the future of our game.

    Heading into town tomorrow evening with the wife under the guise of soaking up the Commonwealth games atmosphere.

     

    I expect that I will need a liquid refreshment at some point in the evening.

     

    I am hoping to chance upon a pub that’s showing the game, rather than the games.

     

    Anyone able to give some advice about city centre bars that will be showing the football, bear in mind I am taking the wife who is a classy bird, so nowhere manky please.

    Getting caught out like that would be enough for most on here to consider their position. Not KevJ though. His world is supporting Celtic by not supporting Celtic. And endlessly telling us about it.
