Christie and managing your assets

373

Surely Ryan Christie deserves a season at Celtic to show what he can do?  It was a sound enough idea to buy him and immediately loan him back to Inverness.  He has flourished at Aberdeen, but with only 10 Celtic appearances in what will be three years since joining the club, he has not been given a platform to show what he has.

I get that competition is great for the creative mid spots at Celtic, but our plan should be to develop players into first team regulars, or enhance their value and sell them profitably.  Ryan is doing well enough at Aberdeen to attract interest from the Football League, but with a few medals and perhaps Champions League experience under his belt, he would be a more valuable asset.

Celtic players are worth more than Aberdeen players, just as Manchester City and PSG players are worth more than Celtic’s.  Bring Ryan in for next season, make a decision on his future, or work to enhance his value to the club.

  1. Good evening friends.

     

     

    As already endorsed by BRT&H, that James Forrest piece posted at 7:21 is an absolutely fantastic read, albeit a good 20+ minutes. Love it when there’s a single article that pulls all of the strands (and there are so many) together. Off to try to sleep now although I do now have so many thoughts flying round my head (makes a change!)

  2. Big Packy,

     

    True story re Jimmy Logan,

     

    Many many years ago my mum and dad won a competition in the Sunday Mail, the prize was called a `second honeymoon`, where the winning couple would be taken to a fancy restaurant, have a Champagne slap up meal at a table hosted by Jimmy Logan, They were having a lovely night, enjoying the craic as well as the Champers. Mr Logan was being a wonderful host, then he asked my Mum how many kids she had. 5, came the reply. (My youngest brother hadn’t been born yet, so this was pre 1965) Next question was how many were at school. 2, she answered. Next question was the inevitable. Which school do they go to? St Johns, she replied. End of conversation, practically turned his back on them for the rest of the night. My Mum was a genuine very honest (and religious) woman who would never speak badly of anyone, I remember her telling my gran the story when they returned home. Years later I asked her about it and she confirmed that is what happened. She wouldn’t lie. So, no, I don’t think Mr Logan would be a follower of the Hoops.

  3. Thanks for the welcome guys.

     

    I have been trying to register since Tuesday, but there was a few issues.

    I wondered how long it would take for the question.

     

     

    I most certainly am not, far too handsome for that mob.

  6. The biggest wake up call to all the deluded on here,is that, Bournemouth posted a turnover of 136 million in their accounts.They said,most of that is due to Sky money.

     

    Will some on here begin to approach some form of reality.?I doubt it.

     

    We cannot compete.Get that into your thick skulls and sit back and enjoy the success we are having at home.

     

    Stop your f ekin moaning and enjoy what you have now.

    Hi VFR

     

     

    Hope you are well and we still have that amazing Lisbon 67 rug you kindly donated for Shay, thank you. Hopefully auction it over the coming months with a few other amazing prizes.

     

     

    Anyway, re donation for Laura, best to contact her at Laurahmccabe@icloud.com

     

     

    If she gets another 8 people to donate £5, then she will sell the owners for another race. Just think you could have BT, POG, bateen bhoy. Twists n Turns or SFTB as your jockey :-)

    Good thing about lurking for so long is you get to know the wind up merchants and you fall into that category.

  14. Gooooooood Evening CQN

     

    A couple of points tonight ( and yes I am doing a scenic tour of Englandshire)

     

    CRC & CQN community, from Laura, a huge Thanks for the support of “Let Us Shine” Ghirls school in Ghana

     

    Some brilliant and hilarious horse names in that list with special Jockeys

     

    Anyone welcome to join us at the race night tomorrow at 7.30, St Mary’s primary school, Bannockburn.

     

    Brilliant seeing our own Lionsroar67 post today :-)) and he was spoiled with AnTearnann popping in for a visit – thanks Dan

     

    BRTH & Emeraldbee – not happy with that list :-) did we not win a few other cups ? e.g Fairs Cup ??

     

     

    Now finally, looking at our squad, I have said a few times, gave Ryan Christie a chance in our team, and I think he would do well, creative, energy, mobile and wants to play with us

     

     

    PS – printed the programs for the race night, a very heartfelt Thanks to CQN in the notes – sorry can’t copy over to show this, hopefully some smart cookie can tomorrow

     

     

    Hail Hail

    I have been lurking for about 6 years after my mate (Fergusslayedtheblues) told me about this fantastic site.

     

    Never really plucked up the courage to post, but this week has been an inspiration and a reall tear jerker at times. Without knowing some of these guys personally ( think I know 1 or 2) I admire everyone who has posted this week…incredible

  29. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Evening all.

     

     

    In anticipation of this week’s friendly BBC Sport Scotland have put an article on their website recounting Scotland’s shock defeat to the same opponents at Italia 90.

     

     

    I remember the game vividly.

     

     

    Scotland’s match day squad contained eight current or future Rangers players and three well known Rangers supporters.

     

     

    The Scotland manager supported the Ibrox club.

     

     

    We lost 1-0 after our STRIKERS missed several good chances to score and our DEFENCE went to sleep allowing them to take the lead.

     

     

    The BBC caption shows a picture of Celtic MIDFIELDER Paul McStay.

     

     

    Great work guys! Enjoy your chuckles while it lasts.

     

     

    The printed press will go first but you won’t be far behind them.

    Won’t be there till I get this op I’ve been waiting for for over a year. Three cancellations and well pissed off. Had my fourth pre op in a year last week, so hopefully get sorted in the next 12 weeks. Will be renewing anyhoo, so, hopefully will be back next season. Have not made one game this season. Grrrrrrrr. Take care Mark, looking forward to meeting up again. HH
