Creative options

Since July I’ve written about the over-dependence we have on Kris Commons as a creative player.  He’s pretty much our only option, and if he’s not fancied, injured, suspended or just off-form, we look like a team full of energy but without a key to open the door.

It may be that Ronny doesn’t figure on having a classic No. 10 in his team, and it’s more than possible that we won’t play one against European heavyweights, but against packed SPFL defences, we need someone who can create space in dangerous areas.

As we mentioned last month, some years ago Celtic reportedly looked at Bosnian international, Semir Stilic, while he was at Lech Poznan.  His star faded before a journey through Ukrainian and Turkish football before he returned to Poland with Wisla Krakow 12 months ago on an 18 month contract.  Since then he’s been a sensation and has kept Wisla in touch with the top of the table.

He’s refused a new contract offer from Wisla and is subject to a bid from Dinamo Zagreb, thought to be in the region of €250k.  He’s likely to be on circa €2k per week.  We’ve scouted the player, he’s soon out of contract, going cheap, on low wages, on form and we’re short of what he can give.

This is the kind of player Dinamo Zagreb pick up for buttons and enables them to compete as effectively as they did against Celtic with a fraction of our budget.  He has the making of an effective January signing.

    You forgot to add ‘regime change’ to that mate…

  2. Good result for Aberdeen, it’s up to us to send a message out tomorrow night by gubbing Kilmarnock.

    I don’t think our board are doing themselves or the supporters any favours.

     

    They longer they refuse to tell it like it is, the longer the corruption and implied threats will go on….its basically sevco saying…let us cheat, or else.

     

    Well, im not having that for one second, its a ridiculous state of affairs when we cant tell the truth for fear of violence…..its not on.

     

    Our board should be speaking out….maybe they had something to hide….no?

    Don’t get me wrong. They must speak up on the Doncaster statement. It’s a question of when it’s smart to do so. I feel we get the Sevco game of the way first!

     

     

    As for something to hide? That is why boards everywhere do, hence the preponderance of the oul’ Confidentiality Clause & Non Disclosure Agreement.

     

     

    Every Director and non-exec Director will have something to hide, that is the nature of business.

     

     

    I would expect that the Celtic board have a few skeletons hanging about….but I doubt they collude with the Oldco & Sevco or Thirdco in any way that is detrimental to Celtic.

    Important game tomorrow night for the Bhoys. 3 points before we’re off to top up the tans!

     

     

    Off we’re all off to Gran Canaria in the sun!

     

    With the zombie pretending to the Hun…..

  6. Stupidly read ole Dick Wilson’s piece on the U.S. Billionaire and Sevco. To summarise wee Dickie is desperate for a rich man to pour millions upon millions into Sevco and work alongside the real Berz who will also be pumping millions in…

  8. If we don’t win tomorrow night the knives will be sharpened for Ronny.

     

     

    Hopefully we find our shooting boots on the Astroturf

  9. What is the Stars on

    Burnley

     

     

    Well have a wild guess.

     

     

    Just because I dont like Ronny and am saddened at the lack of investment in the club doesnt mean I want Celtic to lose

     

     

    Why you and others like you get upset and feel the need to accuse me of hunnery or being anti celtic just because I point out that Ronny is not a very good manager is beyond me.

     

     

    I hope Celtic win tomorrow but I dont think they will.

     

    To be honset when Ronny was appointed I wrote the season off

     

    If we win the league that would be marvellous but I am not holding my breath

  10. Marrakesh Express on

    Tanner must be costing sky

     

    Never an effort made to hide his anti Celtic bias.

  11. Kilmarnock?

     

     

    Plastic pitch,

     

    plastic fans and

     

    plastic klub.

     

     

    The Abstaining FC.

  12. No sponsor because no company who can afford to sponsor wants its brand name associated with toxic, bigoted, corruption.

     

     

    Think about it…

     

     

    If it was your company, would you want it aligned with bigotry and corruption?

     

     

    I saw the last cashed up ‘class’ act bolt behind Pluto screaming no feckin way the auld firm.

  13. mullet and co 2 on

    Champions elect Aberdeen steam roller Lanarkshire Giants Motherwell to put no hopers Celtic 4 points behind.

     

    Celts to play Ayrshire mega club on their new pitch that Celtic refused to install at their training ground to try it out.

    What is the Stars

     

     

    Maybe it’s your lack of decorum, and respect followed by a complete absence of reason that does it?

  15. jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/ on

    So Killie wont give us their pitch to train on?. Make them park the team bus at Brigton Cross the next time they come up to play us at C P.

  16. The only war RD will be binned is if all the MSM fantasists get their wishes : a credible coach with a cash stash arrives at Ipox, our board will then ditch the experiment.

     

    Notice I used ” cash stash” not ” war chest”. I hate those cliches…

    BTW. The fantasy will be just that, a fantasy….Ashley will be fed first before the Three Bears even smell the porridge.

  17. What is the Stars on

    Bournesouprecipe

     

     

    Ok

     

     

    Nonsense of course

     

     

    But I would now like to respectfully request that the current manager of Celtic FC be mutally consented and that Celtic Plc appoint a different manager in his place

     

     

    Yours respectfully

    That’s better on the eye.

     

     

    Keep it up ( if you must insist )

  20. Son to father:

     

     

    Are we a class act?

     

     

    Father to son:

     

     

    Go brush your teeth and get to bed

  21. saltires en sevilla on

    Wits

     

     

    For a while you were funny …not any more

    My impression is that players signing permanent deals is generally followed by a down turn in form.
