It’s about preparing hamstrings. Southampton deals

99

It’s been 53 days since Celtic finished their season by scoring several outstanding goals in a 6-0 drubbing of Motherwell.  This afternoon, they’re back!  Gone are the days on here when an indifferent performance in preseason games brought uncontained anxiety from those convinced Celtic were on the road to destruction.  Now we all know they are about carefully preparing hamstrings for the months to come; right?

Wiener Viktoria play in the Austrian regional leagues that feed into the national second tier.  Think of Arbroath, before all the glory.

Celtic sold to Southampton in 2013, 2014, 2015 and again in 2018.  The first three transactions were for players mid-contract: Victor Wanyama earned £13m, Fraser Forster brought in £12m and Virgil van Dijk, £14m.

Stuart Armstrong left four years ago with one year left on his contract, having been a peripheral player for Celtic the previous season.  He completed 90 minutes on only 10 league games, starting 15 in total.  Still, we got £7m for him.

With one year left on his contract, Joe Aribo is reportedly leaving Newco for the same destination for £6m, plus add-ons.  He was their best player last season, so good news if he does depart.  The fee sounds like they had the same guy negotiating that agreed their Sydney Cup deal.  Bless.

  1. OMG — the Tories are eating themselves.

     

    BoJo must be threatening to call an election now to put the frighteners on his rebelling MP’s.

     

     

    Very specific question that keeps being asked.

     

    Putting the Queen in a very difficult position.

     

     

    And to think she owes him one.

  2. rangers best player is Bassey and he is still there – no celtic player got past him last season! I hope/expect a major club to bid for him if he’s open to leaving.

     

     

    So far celtic have only sustained – except the new left back who looks handy going forward.

     

     

    Our weakness last year has not yet been addressed – physicality. 2strong , athletic champs league potential needed (center half and midfielder) – Looks like we miss Souza – onto next target!

    Hungary rewarded for repeated closed doors due to racist abuse of players with the Europa league final

  4. Wow, I never saw that coming.

     

     

    CJ in the starting line up.

     

     

    #Sucess never stops.

  5. Stebhoy,

     

     

    Have a wee look at plooky wee Callum McGregor racing by wunderkid Bassey for the Rogic goal at Ibrox.

     

     

    Or the shit positioning from him druing the 3-0 game…

     

     

    Or the shadows he chased when Jota scored…

     

     

    He’s a big bruiser with a lot to learn about the game….his game intelligence is pants.

    Laval.

     

    Bernabei

     

    Mccarthy

     

    Ideguchi

     

    Hatate

     

    Forrest

     

    Johnston

     

    Kenny.

  7. Ideal team for opening game we just need one or two to make a significant impression.

     

    Personally I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for Lawal & Kenny but I would do that wouldn’t I.

    The ‘tick-box’ culture of today is a bit frustrating. All i’ll say is there are tonnes of people being employed/getting promotions for what they are rather than being the best person for the job. It will implode one day, but that’s a story for, er, another day.

     

     

    BBC Scotland also has a tick-box culture in their sports department.

     

     

    1. Are you a Hun?

     

    2. Are you a Soup Taker?

     

     

    Not very “inclusive”.

  9. CJ looks to have longer career in the frontline — at least 90 minutes plus injury time — than BoJo.

     

     

    That was horrible in the extreme — he was always an idiot but now the jokes / laughing has stopped.

     

     

    Looks like he will hang on until all you can see are the bubbles.

     

     

    Or the queen sacks him for asking for new election.

     

     

    Will he manage to find 40 true believers to bring any new Tory government down?

     

     

    JRM / ND / Pincher …

     

     

    Not a long list — those who want to join him in a ditch.

     

    NB vs Pincher — too gross for public consumption.

  10. Team — looks like the last chance saloon for quite a few.

     

    I wonder who will respond to the challenge?

    He is a natural egg chaser — big unit but that is a big unit after TFOD2.1 Special Ops training.

    What happened to the Morelos money?

     

     

    He got it all to himself and spent it close season in Kebab Shops and chip shops and bakers and confectionery shops until there was nothing left.

     

    Allegedly.
