I don’t know anything about Stefan Johansen, who is one of several central midfield players Celtic are tracking, but I’m pleased we’re scouting for this area. There’s no question we are missing a penalty box predator but you could make a case that the sense of calm and control exerted by Victor Wanyama in the middle of the park is a more telling absence.
Nir Biton has all the potential to get there eventually but it’s going to take him time. He reminds me of Ki, who a couple of seasons ago was fifth choice central mid for Celtic, behind Brown, Wanyama, Ledley and Kayal. This season I’ve watched him collect and distribute, close space and bring shape to a struggling Sunderland team.
I’ve also watched a bit of Barry Robson since his return to Aberdeen. Despite his advancing years he remains one of the most intelligent footballers in the game. His arrival in the Celtic midfield six years ago changed Celtic into a winning team. You don’t need Pele for this role, just a tactically aware athlete.
How many accountants does it take to tell you that losing circa £1m per month is not a good idea? Lots, apparently.

Danso…
Obliteration is an answer?
justafan, by saying that 125 years of battling speaks for itself, this is supposed to be sporting, if you have to battle then somthing is wrong.
Danso..
Sorry it is obviously AN answer but is it THE answer????
danso…
Life IS a battle…that’s the point!
justafan ,
yes i am perfectly clear disband if we have to, corruption and cheating renders sport pointless.
danso_1888 – That would kill me mate,to see the mighty Celtic of Glasgow finish up like Belfast Celtic.
It doesn’t even bear thinking about to be honest with ye.
For all their crimes and corruption…we are turning them upside down and dropping them on their zombie heads.
Winning.

I got angry when I was younger, primarily in school, I hate injustices. Fighting is not the answer, let the Big Guy fight yer battles, get personal with him and he will never let you down, he may well push you to your limits though. ;))
I see those smiling kids in Africa that have nothing but their own family.

Willie Vass is a bear right enough, I have met the bloke many times in the past, and trust me, he would never shop a pic that he was putting up for sale to fellow bears, unless it was asked for, and them pics at their game today was his usual bear game stuff.
He is a decent bloke btw, just trying to make a crust.
Them pics are as real as you and I are talking to each other, I would wager my grandweans life’s on it.
A second in time mi amigo, as second in time.

TCR – Even in death they feared him.
Venceremos.
danso…
Nah, not for me.
Disbanding means surrender. There was, is and always will be corruption and cheating in sport.
Our club was founded because of a corruption.

i totally understand how you feel but in honesty would you prefer being cheated ? and knowing it and the cabal of corruption is not tackled?
petec,
you make my point they are all corrupt and we are part of it.
justafan,
with respect you make a very damning statement its always been there, but now its in your face what are you gonna do about it accept?
petec – I really do need to begin reading the new testament.
What little that I have read has been all good news,so it can’t be a bad thing.
Danso is right, why should we pay into a corrupt game ?
They are gone for a time, but as sure as eggs are eggs, they will be back soon enough, and the honest mistakes will be honest mistakes, why in gods name should we have to put up with that ?
They have been proven to have cheated, that is a FACT, a hun FACT, whatever way you look at it, they have cheated all of scoddish football, and yet we are still expected to support it, get a feckion grip bhoys.
Withhold your cash for ONE WEEK and they will crumble before your eyes, they will listen to the people who have the power, and that is the supporters who give their cash, nothing else matters, your money is all they desire, deprive them, things will change, that is as plain as the nose of yer face.

danso_1888 – In the battle of good versus evil,good always prevails.
What would you do if Celtic no longer existed?
Look at those zombies,they are suffering badly.
I almost pity them.
Time for the pit in the depths of the cave.
Sleep well Timland.
Take care and god bless.

Danso…
A damning statement???
‘Its always been there’ – exactly!
You’ve known it, I’ve known it, our fathers have known it! You’ll never accept it, I’ll never accept it, our fathers would never accept it.
Its ALWAYS been in our face. That has always been known by us.
What seems to be eating you (with respect) is that we can’t get most of the bad guys to accept it despite the overwhelming evidence.
What did you expect a mea culpa?!?!?
So…Because that ain’t happening we should give the bad guys free reign and victory?
Nah, not for me.

Well disconnect, I won’t lie to you, I have really thought about it, especially when the Celtic TRIANGLE thing was first mentioned. See WitchCraft is Masonry and The Secret Architecture really annoys me more than anything.
Should we all just give up?
It is a Hell of a thing to give up Celtic but God is much more important to me than Celtic and I’m sure he wouldnae want me to give up, even if the deceiver is engulfing more of the Good things in this planet, his planet currently.
Paradise where Lions and Tigers and even Humans will be playing around like it always should have been.

I agree with you as well, problem for me is, we have been at the back of the bus for our inception,
A free reign, they have that, always have, and unless we, or others stand up to them, they always will.
And from where I am typing, we are allowing them free reign.
If you can convince me otherwise, I hold the stance I hold.

It is guid news.
petec,
we are either part of it or against it, our silence tends to make think we tacitly accept it.

But we weren’t and were not…so we win. :-)

Why the hell am I still up?
Just watched Scorcese’s new masterpiece ‘Wolf Of Wall Street’ with Di Caprio in scintillating Oscar form. That boy can act.
Best factional slice-of-life movie I’ve seen since Goodfellas. 3 hours of uber-quality direction, scripting and acting. Captivating stuff.
A brutal, high-octane, bitter-truth classic. No point in watching anything else this year; All topped by another MS epic.
Time for bed.

Ah…the board..now there’s a kettle of fish!
The Willo transfer window is as nothing compared to our cooperation with Scot Govt and police after the so called Shame Game. A disastrous decision with bad consequences for the Club and the support.
danso –
We won the European Cup and 9-in-a-row through the decades of cheating and corruption.
Now you want us to disband rather than again beat the cheats on the park?
You epitomise the whole “fearty” phenomenon on CQN.
Aw naw the huns are comin. Run!
All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,rebuking,correcting and training in righteousness,so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
