    £3mio for Pukki is a media made up figure, never believe the MSM.

     

     

    sydneytim, my head is above the sand, yours on the other hand god knows where it is with some of your recent comments on here.

     

     

    Well said. I think we all know where Sidney’s head is!!!!!

    Have to say that I was shocked at the price of 2 bottles of Magners in the Kerrydale Suite after the match yesterday: £9.80 – absolute rip-off. It is a great facility, but Celtic need to have a serious look at the prices, otherwise it will be empty pretty soon.

     

     

    p.s. the magners was great, can’t say the same for the match though…!

  7. SydneyTim on

    Bjmac. It is indeed wrong to pre judge someone and I can see where you are coming from. But what on earth is John park basing his recommendation on

     

    The spec he had was to find a proven goal scorer?if it was then pukki does not fall into that category

     

    Or Was his spec to find someone who might become a goal scorer? John parks record so far on goal scorers is pretty poor

     

    Was his spec a project ?

     

    If it was then Fair enough

     

     

    But we can’t afford a project at this moment in time

     

    That is my point

    I’m off to 11 o’clock Mass, I have visions of either NegAnon, Mad Mitch or Sydney Tim popping up in the Altar to give the sermon. See Ye’ All Later.

  10. Tauranga - Keep hope in your heart wee Oscar and family on

    Sydney, we are desperate for a quality goalscorer. How’s Mrs SydneyTim placed , any chance she’d have a go. Can’t be any worse eh. Good to see you have some company of the blog.Hail Hail. Celtic 3 Kazaks 0

    Morning CQN,

     

     

    Thought Celtic were fortunate to be playing ICT yesterday. They are a steadily improving, well-organised team and arguably the closest you will get to a european-style 2-leg challenge in the league.

     

     

    Good practice for wednesday. They defend in depth, keep themselves ‘compact’, and when they break they get half the team up the park in support very rapidly.

     

     

    They even did Celtic a turn by scoring from a long flat throw in to the box a la Shakhter, Rory Delap et al. Apologies for stating the obvious but every team Celtic play this season will now be planning to use this tactic until FF plus 4 demonstrate they have developed a strategy to nullify it.

     

     

    Refreshing to see the difference Rogic and Balde made to Celtic’s play – Rogic happy to commit men in a central area, find a through ball, have a shot himself. Rogic will be desperate to have a big breakthrough season to get himself in the WC squad. Really looking forward to seeing him develop. Balde already showing signs of rapid improvement, some really excellent moments of work from him.

     

     

    Seems NL is looking to play in a different way with these guys – Rogic and Balde have the guile and strength to commit men in static defences and midfields. A different approach to last season seemed evident to me, anyway.

     

     

    So the pessimist in me thinks Celtic 2013-14 will be more incisive, creative and ‘better to watch’, but will they have completed the transition in time for wednesday night?

     

     

    Still think Celtic can progress, but will need maybe 5 goals…

     

     

    HH!

  12. MadMitch on

    One other issue — when will the full year accounts be released?

     

    Looking at Tuesday?

     

     

    Awkward timing.

     

    Wait another week?

  13. bournesouprecipe on

    I’m fairly confident Celtic will win on Wednesday by the required margin, even having witnessed the yesterday’s draw.

     

     

    If the tie doesn’t go Celtic’s way, positives of non CL participation will be appear from nowhere.

     

     

    I don’t think the board are too concerned, and life as a Pot 4 side isn’t a bed of roses, we’ll see the treble as our priorities and a ‘good run’ in the Europa as essential.

     

     

    Pretty sad that posters traduce a striker before his plane has arrived in Glasgow what happened to the days, they waited till they’d seen him, in the warm up.

    Thank heavens Henrik never visited this place after that game against Hibs Eh.

     

     

    We have targets who have been identified and before they have put pen to paper they are gash. I dont regard myself as a Happy Clapper or a Mineshafter just a Celtic supporter and as long as any of them pull on the hoops they will have my support .

     

    I have watched some bad players over the last 50 years play for my club but would have given my left bollock to do the same and I would have been bad . Give the guys a chance ffs , cant wait for Wednesday.

  15. SydneyTim on

    Tauranga. Unfortunately mrs sydney tim also doesn’t score goals like Pukki

     

     

    Indeed well and glad winter is coming to an end. These cold days of 20 deg make me shiver Not long till beach weather

     

    Going by John park record on goalscorers. The odds are we will be looking next year for another 3m pound project

     

    The amount of money wasted on goal scoring projects is shocking

  16. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    Good luck to ole morrissey the day.

     

     

    May st michael ensure him a safe landing.

  18. SydneyTim on

    It’s not pukki who is the problem it’s our policy of not investing in quality and continually looking to save money which in the case of upfront this policy has cost us a fortune

    Neg. very true we need a proven goal scorer not a project

     

    =================================================

     

    I would love a proven goalscorer. Which ones do you suggest we go out and get?

     

     

    I know it’s the scouts job to identify such players but the problem we have is that if someone is banging goals in at a lower level they may not be good enough, they will already have been looked at by at least a few other big clubs, they will cost money and wages that we don’t have.

     

     

    So, we have to do a bit of scouring, a bit of bartering, a bit of waiting I suppose.

     

     

    Tell me this when Gary Hooper arrived from Scunthorpe had you heard of him? Were you sure about him? Did you think he was Scott McDonald lite? Must confess I wasn’t convinced. Turns out I (and a whole lot of other Celtic supporters) were wrong. HE was a goalscorer. Yet he wasn’t Leo Messi or even Chris Sutton. He couldn’t lead the line on his own as well as we would like in European away games.

     

     

    Point is we have until the end of next week. Judgements can be made then – and even then we’ll all have different views on where we are. Although if we sign no one I will be joining in with the grumpy old gits (and younger ones too)

    Most of them aren’t in on time to see the warm up these days………………….

  23. I'm Neil Lennon (tamrabam) on

    i find it weird after the week we have had that there are still some folk on here berating fans who want to sign a striker

     

     

    we took in 20 million uiod in transfer fees and we took in twenty million quid in CL cash

     

     

    is it really unreasonable to want to spend around 10% of that on a striker

     

     

    Really? C,mon

  24. RobertTressell on

    Right, I need to do something useful. Cup of tea first I think…..

     

     

    Have a good day.

     

     

    Despite it all I am looking forward to Weds and a very important match. There is always the chance of something dramatic in football and much more so with Celtic. And whatever happens not one of us will give up supporting Celtic. Happy Clapper, Mineshafter or like most of us somewhere on the Spectrum in between – Keep the Faith.

  25. SydneyTim on

    Robert. I would say hooper was a goal scorer. Was it about 40 in 80 games. Not bad and a lot of teams that hooper scored against would be a lot better than SPL

     

    I do hope Pukki turns out to be a good player for us, I doubt he will score a high number if goals. He even struggled to find the net when he played in the finish league

  26. PeteTheBeat on

    It’s a Catch 22 situation.

     

     

    We want a good striker. If he’s good he won’t want to come to Celtic (or more accurately, the SPL).

  27. Cowiebhoy in support of Fearless Oscar & Family on

    BRTH

     

     

    I owe £20 to the Mackenzie fund, the link you have put up this morning, not working .

     

    About to head out to mass so will do when I return.

     

    Not read back on last night.

     

    But I enjoyed the game yesterday.

     

    IC played with all 11 players behind ball, we scored 2, therefore a repeat on Wednesday will do ( as long as we don’t concede)

     

    Rogic & Mathews looked the part, a bit of work with Amido, but no dud as some have said previously, a bit concerned with body language of Tony Watt though.

     

    Liked the look of young Atajic when he came on, so some positives

     

     

    Now Mass calls

     

     

    Hail Hail

  30. Friesdorfer on

    Tooting Tim 1050

     

     

    Agree re ICT. Thought Rogic played very well and Balde too, in patches. The latter, though, needs to get some local acclimatisation such that he is not bullied off the ball. The referee gave him only one free-kick in the whole match, because his angles were straight on rather than from the side (sorry, ex-referee). Matthews also played well but that was about it for me.

  31. starry plough forza oscar on

    TootingTim supports Wee Oscar

     

     

    Easy Tooting way too much sense in there, agree Rogic looks like a player who can turn defences, Neil knows we can’t go on the way we’ve been playing and a change is in the offing, will take time of course, CL qualifiers are putting a huge pressure on everyone so early in the season..

     

     

    HAve we got enough injuries now to call it an injury crisis??

     

     

    Hope yer well Mate.

  32. I'm Neil Lennon (tamrabam) on

    pete

     

    i wonder why you feel that a good striker wouldnt come to CP

     

     

    we pay quite a few million quid every season on wages

     

     

    dont these good strikers want our money?

     

    we probably pay more than 80% of the clubs in europe

     

     

    clearly we dont pay more than barca or real or chelski etc but surely we are in the next pot down from those types of clubs?

  33. canamalar prays Oscar can do it again on

    petethebeat,

     

    Why are you saying that, have the negative mob got you convinced about this lie too ?

  34. Dontbrattbakkinanger on

    With respect to ole amino he should not be bullied off the ball.

     

     

    If you’re built like frank Bruno you need to be more self assertive than frank spencer.

     

     

    Also he turns like an ole Eddie stobart wagon.

     

     

    Apart from that…

  36. Kayal33 on

    I remember a time when a new signing would be given a reasonable time to settle into the team. Then along came t’internet and FM experts would be slating players if they weren’t performing at their best by the end of their debut game. We have now gone a stage further and the self proclaimed experts are now slating potential new signings before they even sign and stand holding up top with their name on it.

     

    Modern football fans are rubbish!!

  37. goldstar10 on

    Tamrabam- Ergo we get the pick of the strikers in the next pot down, or probably one or 2 pots even below that.

     

     

    Scotland is a football wasteland, that we can do nothing about.

  38. TootingTim supports Wee Oscar on

    Pikku stats look OK?

     

     

    Last season at HJK (2010-11) – 11 goals and 8 assists in 18 league games.

     

     

    And last season his goals to mins ratio same as Hooper? (A 2 goals in 3 games ratio).

     

     

    Many prolific strikers did not become so until their mid-twenties…BlackburnQuickNews was obviously in meltdown the day they signed Shearer from Southampton where he had only managed 23 goals in 4 years in well over a hundred appearances…

     

     

    HH!

  40. scullybhoy on

    When oh when is Sydney ‘Tim” going to be allowed to run this club? PL is only trying to line his own pockets, NFL does exactly what he is told and the bored are ripping us off!

  41. canamalar prays Oscar can do it again on

    kayal33,

     

    I don’t remember them days, in fact I don’t believe then days ever existed, I thought they did too for a wee while but speaking to some old timers like my da and his pals it’s a myth.

  42. SydneyTim on

    My question is. Should we be bringing players in who are no better than what we have?

     

    Pukki record on scoring goals is far worse than stokes

     

    I don’t see stokes as the answer but why throw away cash on a project
