Short-term fix for staple Euro strategy

985

There’s always a bit of reticence signing a player who has been away from his previous club for four months. Carlton Cole hasn’t played since starting West Ham’s final games of last season, and presumably has only trained in isolation since then.

Expectations of a quick return, should Celtic offer him a contract, have to be tempered with the realisation that he’ll be at least a month away from full fitness, but by then we will be set to face Molde away.

One aspect of our play that will concern Ronny Deila is that we’re short of attacking variation. The high ball forward to Samaras, so long our staple on the road in Europe, is not an option. This will be the reason why Carlton is training at Lennoxtown this week.

I’d expect a short-term deal to be concluded between now and January, to give both sides a chance to check out the fit.

  1. glendalystonsils on

    Tommy Wright’s half time talk must have been along the lines of:

     

     

    Whit the feck yeez playin at?

     

    D’yeez not realise this is the famous Glasgow Rainjurs yeez are playin?

     

    Feckin eejits!

     

     

    It’s the only way I can explain that 2nd half performance

  2. The bread man graciously mentioning ‘The Opposition’ – no mention of St Johnstone- they really are ignorant to the core

  3. Watched the huns game…Gotta say i feel sorry for Pat Nevins wife, ..she aint getting none Tonight, Pat will as they say be SPENT .after his Hun lovin..

     

    .MAGGOTT of a man…

  4. To be fair to Nevin he’s called pat Nevin and he wants to get out of Ibrox in one piece.

     

     

    And he loves soup.

     

     

    Warbs talking about being unable to break a team down. They’ve just conceded three goals.

     

     

    It’s not gonna end well for him.

     

     

    Another myth in the making.

  5. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    Watching a new team getting humped by a team from the big leagueshould be irrelevant . What makes it so satisfying is the arrogance and boasting. It is also satisfying that a full house of 27k saw a team struggling in the big league show them up for what they are.

     

     

    HH.

  6. CultsBhoy likes living wage hates heated driveways on

    I’m getting desperate now – I need some gems posted on here from the tormented Huns on Follow Follow….

  7. Pogmathonyahun aka Laird of the Smiles on

    Nevin thinks the Huns are on journey and he can see where they are going! Hopefully to hell with him in tow.

     

    A wee feeling that Hibees might provide a shock tomorrow night.

  8. I heard he was dead on

    Is that right that Warburton said St Johnstone sat in after being pumped 3-1 at home and should have been 4-0 before they even got a sniff?

     

     

    If the Celtic manager came away with a line like that……………….

  9. I Had it with someone on CQN regarding the Arsenal kid…Comparing him to Jason Deynayr..Tonight…However you Are..youre welcome…..

  10. Just listened to Nevin and MacLean after the match. They had obviously been expecting the deid team to win at a canter. They couldn’t bring themselves to really accept St Johnstone won, until Nevin’s closing remarks, when he acknowleged it was St Johnstone’s night.

  11. 67Heaven .. CHALLENGING THE LIE ..I am wee Oscar...... Ipox belongs to the creditors on

    Before the game, BBC radio Scotland said there was a 40k crowd at ipox … with 27k turning up, should we assume that it was just an arithmetic error ? Hehe

  12. glendalystonsils on

    What the feck do you think Nevin is on there for?

     

    To give an honest appraisal?

     

    To express an honest and fair opinion?

     

     

    He wouldn’t last two minutes with the beeb if he did that.

  13. Out of the shower and asked the missus, what was the final score at Dingwall….

     

     

    3-1 tae St Johnstone was the reply ..WTF lol

     

     

    How an unfit looking Sj could win makes it even funnier

  14. Got to hold my hands up – I called it wrong.

     

     

    Hats off to Tommy Wright, he got it spot on tonight.

     

     

    Where Ronny demands his front 4 be the first line of defence, Warburton seemed to admonish everyone bar his centre halfs of any defensive responsibility.

  15. I am sure Sneevins Dalziel and Forsyth

     

    will bring it into every conversation for the next

     

    few weeks like they do with anything coming out of Celtic park

    I HEARD HE WAS DEAD on 22ND SEPTEMBER 2015 9:28 PM

  16. Warburton showing signs of denial and a smidgen of delusion in his interview post-game.

     

     

    Good. sounds like the Rangersitis has gone to his heid as well; He’ll be frothing like Sally in a couple of months.

  17. Charles Kickham

     

     

    Not sure if the cost will be the same but i did the print at home thing a few weeks ago and it was £1.75 at the time.
