Blackett, Christie and our biggest spend in 14 years

846

Tyler Blackett’s arrival, announced moments before halftime on Saturday, was welcome. He’ll immediately push Izzie, who has had no real competition for the left back berth since arriving at Celtic five years ago – an incredible situation.

The Ryan Christie situation surprised me. Ryan performed well against a Celtic defence in a state of flux earlier this month, as he has done previously against us, but it will certainly a curious signing (this morning Inverness Caledonian Thistle announced they have accepted a bid from Celtic).  More on these two later.

As for rumours that we’re about to spend more money on a player than we have since John Hartson arrived 14 years ago……. Well, that is a change of pace. On top of this business, I’m sure there will be more comings and goings in defence, and elsewhere.  Stay tuned……..

Thanks to everyone who entered the raffle for the Golf Day for four at Aberdour.  Taggsy informed the winner (Gerry) by email this morning.

  1. Now that we’ve all calmed downish, and that all the wailing and gnashing of teeth has subsided somewhat, following our dismal dismissal from the CL, and is not so prevalent I’ve got 1 question for yeez : Where are we?

     

     

    It’s not an easy to answer question….business & football club wise….and no, I have no answers only questions.

     

     

    As a business I feel that the bored are erring on the wrong side of caution…..every season for the last few years they’ve had an opportunity to invest early for the CL…..every poker player will tell you that pot odds are an important factor in their decision making but it seems that our bored are happy to gamble without using their brains….more akin to crossing their fingers & hoping for the best ;-((

     

     

    Football: how will we measure success this year….progression means League & Cup double plus last 16 of EL or domestic treble plus EL group qualification….personally i would take the latter, but that’s just me.

     

     

    I’ve sed before that I thought that RD would need 5 years to turn this football club around….he’s now in year 2 & now beginning to get his own team together….& that whilst I hope (in my heart) for CL football, we’re not there yet….

     

     

    Hail Hail to TCR…..fucking animals will get their karma….KTF

     

     

    Kevj…..keep er lit

  2. The signing of the Striker is a Poker game. As I have said Michu one of three Players we are talking to. Hoping that No. 1 is not made a better offer from somewhere else. If they are, we go for the others, depending on how we play them will depend on who we get. There is a left field option but cannot get a name, still not long to go.

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

  3. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    Celtic couldn’t find a half decent striker just now if they look in the Yorkshire coalfields.

    Is Derk Boeriggter the worst CFC signing in recent times ?

     

     

    *******

     

     

    Derk Boeriggter is the worst CFC signing since Rafael Scheidt. He is in Winston Bogarde territory.

     

     

    He cost a lot. Then he sat around on very big wages for 2 years.

     

     

    But I still remember his debut 30 minutes, before he got injured. I thought he was great.

     

     

    Shows how much I know. :(

  5. Voguepunter..

     

    Well i think he did for commercial reasons, i think he Knew they were going under and Carried them until they died, i thought it Then, I think it Now…Just my Thoughts..

  10. Anyone who doesnt think that DD(clever man that he is) didnt know the state of his Only competitor in Scotland , well, Your living in an Alternative reality…He carried the huns back in the day, we had the mobey to kill them off and Didnt….Now thats Reality…Right or Wrong…I understand it…I can live with it…

  11. I heard he was dead on

    jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/

     

     

    To play and develop and so we don’t make a mistake like we did with James McCarthy.

  12. Captain Beefheart on

    Er…

     

     

    Another disaster departs.

     

     

    Even more money ‘saved’.

     

     

    Even the comical Ali types on here can’t be enamoured with this chumposity of recruitment.

     

     

    Striker needed. A good one. One who scores goals. Not a loan.

  13. Awe_Naw_No_Annoni_Oan_Anaw_Noo on

    The Christie signing is a good one in my book. A crackung wee player whose development will be better served playing with better players every day. And for the price of a Christmas bonus.

     

     

    It took Ronny Delua 5 years to fashion a team in Norway.

     

     

    Btw I agreed with this weeks banner but it should never have been displayed in the stadium.

     

     

    I hipe to make Sunday’s game with Morrissey23rd. It will depend on my hangover

  14. The Clumpany- the ban on McLaughlin being lifted,could well be part of a deal to show the huns LC tie v St Johnstone live? They will be desperate for the £82,500…

  15. Steven Thomson went into Ross Hall half an hour ago.

     

     

    Got a much needed injection (of pace) and a deed poll (rather than deid team) form and came oot the door as Stephen Thomson.

     

     

    So yous have been warned.

     

     

    Heard it from a taxi driver. So it MUST be true.

    The honest taxi driver?

     

     

    Or Steven Thomson, oft time Sportscene pundit, formerly of Dundee Utd and zombies1690?

     

     

    Neither should be trusted!!!

  17. If we get this young centre back in and Southampton don’t stump up, mibbees vvd will be our £6m rated big striker?

    That’s a slur sur….I can think of at least two.

    Thomson…who he?

  19. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    Charlie Chuckles should be charged with gravedigging and rigor mortis pilfery.

     

     

    He’d steal the beads aff the deid that yin!.
