Long term more important with Guidetti

415

The most important news concerning John Guidetti is no longer whether Fifa recognise his registration, it’s whether John is keen to remain in Glasgow beyond May next year.

The player is not eligible for the Europa League group stage, and it is not critically important he joins for Premiership football in the first half of the season.  He can join in January for the league run-in, and hopefully the latter part of the Europa League, but as we know, the next major event on Celtic’s horizon is next season’s Champions League qualifiers, which then out-of-contract Guidetti would be a valuable addition for.

Whatever the Fifa outcome, the player will be planning where he wants to play beyond this season and it’s unlikely Scotland will have previously featured heavily in his mind.  Monday was a bit of a shambles for the player but he got to see how Celtic operate.  Hopefully the positive sentiment will convince him this is a platform he can build his career on.

It’s just incredible that Mike Ashley had Charles Green in such a place that he was able to secure naming rights of The Stadium Formerly Referred to as Ibrox for £1.  Whether he exercises this right or not is moot.  The fact that he can, means that Newco Rangers have to accommodate him in the knowledge he is able to call in his marker at any time.

The only curious thing, is why was this particular piece of dirty washing hung out at this time?

  1. TBJ says Wee Oscar Knox is in heaven with the angels on

    It’s like one of them questions you get when you go for an interview

     

     

    If mr W bought an entity for £1 … Then ran up debts of £80m to various places .. Then went into liquidation before selling the assets to mr g for £5m which included the stadium .. the plAyers .. The training ground and the history … Mr G then sold the naming rights to the stadium for £1 and gave mr McC 1m penny shares before blowing £20m and asking the customers to invest a further £4m

    “No matter how the Happy Clappers dress it up, the whole Guidetti problem lies with trying to be smarter than smart and delaying business to the lat minute of transfer windows.”

     

     

    Quonno,

     

     

    So you agree that Pete was trying to get 2 strikers in and not that he was trying to bin one?

     

     

    Remarkably positive for you.

     

     

    Who knows, had we got Scopvic

     

     

    I have absolutely no idea where you get it from that I was agreeing that PL was trying to get two strikers in and not binning one.

     

     

    Frankly I could not care less whether he was trying to get two strikers a couple of blacklegs and a whole picket line in.

     

     

    My contention is and long has been that it is time that Celtic went into transfer windows with the object of getting their targets as quickly as possible and get them bedded into the side.

     

     

    Who knows, had we got the two players in question in in June, we might just still be in the CL.

     

     

    Especially in light of the reprieve we got.

  6. The Palace in Dundee used to be good, never seen so many single in a dance Hal in my life, I was told, not sure of how true this is, but in ww2 Dundee lost more men than in city in the uk as mostly all of them joined up for the war, and unfortunately lots of them never returned?

    So Chas got a £1 for selling the naming rights to the bigot dome. Aye right, that’s what it might say on the legal documents, I’m sure the man with the big ‘ands walked away with a rather large suitcase stuffed to bursting with readies.

     

    BT, I hope all goes well with your procedure – no too many opiates after it noo ;-)

  11. TimJim,

    I had a pint of Tennents, it must have cost me, oooooh, about £2.20 or something. I may have sat on a stool but don’t quote me on that. It was a lovely time.

     

     

    Am I doing reminiscing right?

  13. Memory test.

     

     

    What was the name of the barbers in the Gallowgate in the 60’s?

     

     

    There was three Italian brothers who cut your hair.

     

     

    Was it Johnny Ionta’s?

     

     

    My memory is poor.

    The jute industry in Dundee employed lots of women . Lots of single women moved there to work .Single women with a disposable income .

     

     

    Same thing applied to Nottingham ( lace and cigarettes )

    Oh! Scotsmen who live out with Scotland are not allowed an opinion are they? They are somehow less Scottish than you? You sound like Salmond, not quite racist but definitely xenophobic of rights.

     

     

    If your mindset is indicative of the culture maybe a few more should get out.

     

     

    And for your information London is not overseas.
