Hartson’s anti-analysis

563
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

You’ve got to love John Hartson, a subscriber to the ‘All we need is three new players’ belief structure.  This is a common sort of anti-analysis which crops up regularly in place of any actual thought.

There are three outfield areas of a team, defence, midfield and attack, and if you can only improve each area, you’ll have a better team.  Go figure.  Hartson told us we need “a central defender; a creative midfield player and a striker”.  It’s as though the reality hasn’t occurred that any team in the world wouldn’t improve with the addition of a better player in each area of the field.

Yes, we need a central defender, but we need a right back too.  We need a striker, but, I could argue two strikers would be handy.  I’ve no idea how Brendan Rodgers is planning to play tactically so we might need a midfielder.  Or two.

Pretty much every team in Europe will be having the same conversation right now.  John could usefully reflect that it’s not actual headcount we need, we have the numbers, it’s players able to improve the team we need.  That’s the magic ingredient everyone in the game hopes for.

Lincoln Red Imps captain, Roy Chipolina, is well within his rights to talk up their chances of knocking Celtic out of the Champions League.  They hold the lead and it will take three goals to settle nerves among the home support tomorrow.  It could be a tense occasion…….

    Fella, I wouldn’t believe anything that comes out of the rudderless-PLC-Hierarchy at Celtic Park.

     

    As I pointed out in my earlier post, Celtic FC have taken in almost £50 million from the sale of….

     

    FF

     

    VVD

     

    Vic67

     

    Ki…..throw Hooper in as well if ye like.

     

    I asked – how much of the almost £50 million has reappeared in the team on the pitch ?

     

    At a time when the slogan was…

     

    “Any £’s that come into the club will go into the team on the pitch.” – PL.

     

    I ask – is it, Lawwell or, Liewell ?

     

     

    Burnley 78

     

    ____________

     

    The Cellic hierarchy urny kidding me on.

     

    What about you ?

    I was watching the news on Sunday and said to the wife when it was read out about, yer pal that someone from CQN will know that guy.

     

    So sorry it was a guy that ye knew, fella.

     

    Thoughts and prayers for all who are

    Some folk saying that John Park is to blame for the mess at Celtic Park ????

     

    Well, if JP goes out and finds pebbles on the beach that are sold for upwards

     

    of £50 million then, that £50 million isny re-invested back into the team on the pitch,

     

    how can that be JP’s fault ?

     

    Also,….where does the £50 million go to if not back onto the pitch?

     

    We were told that, since the WGS puppet-manager-era…wage bills had been trimmed.

     

    So, where does the £50 million go to ?

     

    Have there been wee occasional slices been secreted away to help out the dying-huns

     

    and so, maintain the old firm ?

     

    Why also, is it that just minutes before several agm’s that, ‘convenient’ levels of debt appear on the balance sheet ?

     

    Not that I look at those things of course – just trying to follow the trail….

     

    Sack the kowtowers.

     

    The ghosts of the Jungle wept.

     

    …..off-oot….

    Good morning friends and welcome to Matchday from a dry, calm, bright and opTIMistic East Kilbride.

     

     

    Wee worky trip down to Coventry (via Birmingham Airport) and back so hope the return flight is not delayed!

     

     

    Looking forward to some competitive lateral movement this evening.

    Let’s be clear on what Peter Lawwell said regarding the overall finances at Celtic.

     

     

    He did NOT say that all transfer monies coming in would all be spent on the park.

     

     

    What he ACTUALLY did say, was that ALL the money that comes in, goes back out again – i.e. it is spent on the well-being of the club – a quick check of the Annual Accounts for the past decade will prove this – there is no ‘slush fund’ being built up at Celtic Park
