Celtic targeting the young player demographic

219

Notwithstanding the fact that we have only completed two Bosman transfers from Sheffield Wednesday, there is a consistency between them and the plethora of under contract players we have been linked with.  They are in their late teens or early 20s, everyone with growth potential.

Given the season just ended that strategy feels like it would have been a good idea 12 months ago.  Then, we signed David Turnbull from that demographic, although it would be half a season before he was properly introduced in the first team.  Risks about whatever way you spend your money but this strategy should always be high on the agenda.

  1. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Credit where credit is due.

     

     

    Longstrum is a decent signing.

     

     

    Started 63% of Sheffield United’s league games over the last two seasons.

     

     

    For a guy with a history of ankle problems that’s not a bad return.

     

     

    I wouldn’t necessarily say his pedigree is sufficient to encourage me to go back on CQN after a significant hiatus to proclaim we are doomed ….

     

     

    … but there you go.

  2. Non Celtic, political, covid question

     

    Anyone else having problems with Amazon, cnuts keep knocking back my payment method sighting that the bank have declined payment, now if this was happening with one card, aye, fine I could accept that, but it’s now up to four different cards, spoken to two different reps who were clueless, blaming anyone but Amazon, sound familiar, it’s doing my head in, no problems anywhere else, went into the bank and no problems with the cards, yet can’t buy a effing thing on Amazon, I know on the grand scale of things it’s nothing but interested to know if anyone has the same problems, not just with Amazon, but anyone since the 1st July, the rules re VAT both in and out of europe have changed on July 1st, I assume this has something to do with it, also safelinks, refused to let me delete it on Hotmail has been giving me serious bother, but all of a sudden it’s gone in the last couple of hours.

    My nephew Marcus said last week that there was a chance of his best mate going back to Celtic with Ange.

     

    Good luck to him in Hamburg.

     

    He is a cracking Tim. 👍

  4. TET,

     

     

    there is an amazon scam going on, asking to accept a refund, be careful, dont click on anything.

  5. Back to

     

    I’m sure the smsm will highlight the fact he played for a team relegated with not many points.

  6. Mersey Paradise – Ange is Hard I reckon.

     

     

    Or maybe it is all Theatre frae the wans Controlling things or thangs.

     

     

    Are you All alone?

  7. vinniethedog on

    Tiny tim you are correct….the huns are signing battle hardened professionals…….lungstram might be average epl talent …but Liverpool die hard who loves Gerrard……..meanwhile we are signing kids………..oh and if we don’t get a keeper….we won’t win anything

  8. IniquitousIV on

    Shouldn’t the title of today’s article not read:

     

    “Celtic targeting cheap Bosman demographic”?

  9. We NEED to sign been and gone and done it eat their Granny def mids and defenders, been saying it for years, we play in a league that players who have flair are punished by the establishment, get it sorted Celtic, eff the sell on value, three will do the job, they would-will be worth every penny

     

    I get the argument that they would be be outlawed by the masonic refs, but proper pros know what they are doing, this is what we need, big time

     

    The club also need to shout from the roof tops about implementing VAR, if nothing else it would make the cheats with the whistles and flegs be a tad more aware

  10. Remember the huns will need to pay back a > £3 loan from the government.

     

     

    doesn’t have to be paid until 2046 and at 0% interest.

  11. RC

     

    Perhaps not, but they will have to pay the deferred VAT etc whether they like it or not.

     

    HH

  12. RC,

     

     

    The loans have to be paid back over 20 years with the first payments due in 2022.

     

     

    That is the current plan, we shall see.

     

     

    HH.

    I watched our new manager miked up.

     

    It was basic stuff that you would hear on any weans pre match warm up.

  15. I will Never forget the Rancid hun pissing in the Hedge at McDonalds in Dumbarton midday Saturday. I was at the traffic lights, and Thankfully Aidan was there.

     

     

    Aidan has calmed me down a few times on Springfield Road.

     

     

    I think we have a Belter in Ange. Time Always tells.

    Fell out wi my wee Tim neebor in Dalmuir last week. Was on our front green enjoying a beer in the sun. She starts throwing bread out for the gulls. The rats wi wings appeared in their dozens fighting each other for the stale bread.

     

    My car got splattered wi gull shite, and I had just washed it.

     

    Even worse, a gull shat on my leg.

     

    Was raging with her for 24 hours. 😊

    Was at that game v Clyde.

     

     

    Remember my mammy making a big fuss that day because it was the last time we would see the Lions.

     

     

    Think we got conned, because Ronnie didnae play.

     

    ———————————–

     

     

    I know Ronnie did not play, but I’m sure he came on for the kickabout before the game.

  18. TET

     

     

    Never had any problem with any amazon payments. But I made a biggish purchase and took out their credit card to get 10% off.

     

     

    So I just use that now and clear it every month when my statement comes in so no interest charged.

     

     

    I hope you and the wife are doing well and your relocation plans are coming along nicely.

     

     

    KEEP THE FAITH

    Philbhoy

     

    You are correct my friend.

     

    Ronnie ran out with the team.

     

    Got subbed at kick off wi BT’s faither. 😊👍🍀💚

  20. DD

     

     

    I remember that game because it was the last match I took my Canadian girlfriend to, before she returned to Canada.

     

     

    We kept in touch for a while, but I could never afford the flights in those days.

     

     

    I spent my wages on fags, wimmin and drink……………and squandered the rest!

     

     

    Happy days!!!!!

  21. Oh My Leg.

     

     

    Dinnae Even go there with being shat on by a Seagull. Dad was oot fighting these f*ckers because of their Insanity.

     

     

    Dad is the Greatest Ornothologist (I’m biased) out there and his Records are incredible.
