Juranovic dives deeper into asset max territory

164

Some of us have already got what we wanted from this World Cup.  Daizen Maeda looks like a star who can tax some of the most effective defenders in international football.  His goal yesterday gave Japan an iconic moment before they crumbled from 12 yards.  40 years from now Japanese football fans will look back and still hurt.

Josip Juranovic and Croatia continue to the quarter finals, where our right back will face tournament favourites Brazil.  Watching Brazil in the World Cup often follows a tradition.  They are incredibly flashy, everyone’s second team, a joy to watch, then they come up against a strong European challenge and are emptied out.

In the group stage, it took Brazil 83 minutes to break the deadlock against Switzerland and over an hour before they scored the first of their two against Serbia.  A defeat when already qualified to Cameroon is of little consequence.  Croatia are not Holland 1974, they are not even Croatia 2018, but they will fancy it against the Brazilians on Friday.

Having recruited Alastair Johnston, it seems certain Celtic are preparing to sell Josip next month.  This means they have at least one acceptable indication of a bid.  The deeper Josip dives into the tournament, the more interest he will raise, the more we may be able to attract for our asset.

  1. Do you know what, based on his goal, performance and glowing report, now is probably the optimum time to sell Maeda too.

     

     

    And I would.

     

     

    So there.

  2. STRIKES…

     

     

    I see that Christmas has been CANCELLED this year, due to Santa’s little helpers going on STRIKE.

     

     

    This Strike Action is not over Wages etc….but because of ELF and Safety Issues.

     

     

    I tell that wee Joke every year…I cant help it.

     

    LOL

  3. Asset management peak valuation and cash conversion opporchancity.

     

     

    Peter is going to announce on his first day back a cash out option for all 4 world cup attendees with o’riley kyogo and Hatate also going and a cool £130m banked and a special one off performance bonus for the chairman

     

     

    hip hip hurrah

  4. Maeda is a frustrating type player. Has a great engine, keeps going is very busy but is a poor finisher imo. Looks like e will lose Juranovic and Glako in the window. I think we have replacements in the pipeline already for anyone leaving. That’s how Ange operates. “He never stops”.

     

    Just keep lawellball away from player movements.

    Why are the government having problems with their own version of the Christmas Nativity?

     

     

    They can’t find three wise men.

    Another sultry actress in a fine FILM with a great cast ….. Jessica Lange in… CAPE FEAR

     

    ……………….

     

    Aye mate.

     

    Great Re Make with a GREAT Cast…Jessica was a fine looking lady also.

     

     

    The original CAPE FEAR had Robert Mitchum as the Baddie ( IF I remember correctly ?).

     

    Mr Mitchum was always one of my favourite actors.

    JESSICA also looked FAB in one of the King Kong Re Makes.

     

    A very Sexy wummin.

     

     

    Im now watching the Horse Racing on my Computer, and CHARLIE CHAN from 1936 on TV at the same time, before the Fitba starts.

     

    LOL

     

    HH mate.

  10. I was delighted for Daizen last night. Not many Celts have scored at the world cup finals. Felt really sorry for the boy at the end. That’s what he is, a boy, only turning 25 two months ago. I think we should just appreciate him for what he brings to the team. An incredible workrate and ethic. Hard to think of anyone who was better at this from the past. The rubber man was a chaser of lost causes but never had the pace of Maeda. I think Japan boobed big time last night, taking him off when there was a good chance of extra time. Hopefully his performance and plaudits from the TV punters, will make us more appreciative. Really hope Croatia beat Brazil.

  11. Mick Beale left QPR in seventh place in the Championship

     

    They are now in sixth place

     

    Without playing a game….

    Macca in 88. well for the second half of the season

     

     

    When he signed early october maybe he had a slow start, and the fracas at snake-mountain with the 3 huns, but around christmas time and then new year game he turned into a workhorse, chasing down everything and turning defenses over and over, rember walker got 30+ goals that season, most made by macca and miller,

     

     

    tbf wee joe had that work ethic as well,

     

     

    and into the 2000s –

     

    Henrik, sutty, mcdonald, hooper, stokes, all had some of it about them.

     

     

    i think often maeda is just too fast and not set up to take the chance, everything is done with speed, at speed, often still acceperating whn he meets the ball, give him more time in the centre and work on two touches maybe he socres more, but he would have less chances.

     

     

    star in the making if he goes to EPL,

  13. I too want Brazil to get beat,

     

     

    There was an arrogance to them last night, and i dont mean just in football terms.

     

    I am with Keane as well, sure go celebrate with the fans it has become a modern game things, every win means a celebration, sure we do it ourselves, but theirs is over the top, i get the pele tribute as well, but neymar looked as if it was a chore to share the limelight.

     

     

    have you seen the dutch coming out the hotel to some music and getting clapped by the satf,, what a riddy.
