Headcount and the left back slot

240

Headcount is still a thing in football.  When fit last season, Greg Taylor, was first choice left back.  During his several injured periods, Josip Juranovic moved across from the right to cover.  In the early weeks of Ange Postecoglou’s tenure, before the arrival of Josip, Adam Montgomery (then 18) was used.  You knew when illness was really affecting Celtic on the three occasions Boli Bolingoli made the squad.

Bolingoli will remain the choice only when there is absolutely no alternative, although he will hopefully depart this window.  Until this morning, that left Celtic with Greg and Adam.  The latter has now joined St Johnstone on loan.

If we follow the headcount rule, we can be confident that Argentinian left back, Alexandro Bernabei (21) came through his medical without issue and will be confirmed shortly.  I cannot see Adam Montgomery being allowed to leave otherwise.

  2. If only we had the loan with option to buy on Barkas, Ajeti, Soro, Bolingoli and McCarthy….

     

     

    That’s the way to do it csc

  3. TOSB @ Hydro

     

     

    Jealous and then some — somebody with an organised social life.

     

    KofL — stumbled across the gig last week / looked like a good night out.

     

    However hospital visits / weekday night ?!? / poor weather forecast / Sherwood — decided to give it a miss.

     

     

    Given the reports — big mistake.

     

     

    The Hydro is really coming into its own.

     

    I have been dragged along twice recently — the wife is the better planner.

     

    Big crowds full of people of a certain vintage on the cheeky watter.

     

    The prices are shocking — £75 for a standing ticket / £6 for a drink.

     

     

    However there are enough people with the spare cash to make it work.

     

    Now for my plans for the new Main Stand / economics behind it.

  4. Philcool,

     

     

    At the point of purchase for me. Would have been great to send them back after discovering their collective pishness….

  5. Many thanks to AN TEARMANN and all for your kind words and support. I will do my best not to be so silent on here for so long a time again.

  6. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    If backfill can be “construed” as “replace with more effective” ?

     

     

    Let’s backfill away

     

     

    PS – “more effective” is not a direct reflection of big Christopher’s talent or ability.

     

     

    More his contribution last season.

     

     

    Replace “15 minutes during a low priority already won game”

     

     

    With

     

     

    “Can quickly get ahead of Stephen Welsh in pecking order, can push Carl and Cameron all the way, can perform in their absence with negligible impact to defence”

  7. Gene

     

     

    That’s why a season of performance seems fair. Are they trending upwards ?

     

     

    I liked Soro’s early work too until I got irritated by that rushing into players and giving away free kicks move he seemed to perfect…

    The problem is that if you get them in on loan with an option to buy you need to play them as we did with CCV and Jota.
