FlippinEck 3,759 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Very disapointing and without doubt a huge blow to the team. We've recovered from the loss of much better players though.I think its the impact this signing could have that will damage us. This isnt a fringe player we are letting go off, nor is it someone who came to the club to use us as a stepping stone, its very much someone who by all accounts wants to play for the club and enjoys doing so. A first team player who has been of crucial importance to us. I hate to be all doom and gloom and part of me wants to join the We've recovered from the loss of better players brigade but what kind of boost do you think that will give a team like Celtic knowing the only player we have that has consistantly damaged them at home and away the past couple of seasons is now gone? Who do we have up front now? We talked about how we went and spent over £5Million on two strikers when we already had Miller, Naismith and Lafferty but the Naisy and Kyle. Kyle has still got to prove a lot and Naismith is making a name for himself in a position further away from goal. We could pop him up front and I would expect Naisy to score. Beattie hasnt kicked a ball for us and like I already said, despite a somewhat impressive start, its still early days for Jelavic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 we dont own a fit striker if he leaves today. pathetic stuff that would have any normal person tearing there hair out.Lafferty and Beattie are both fit. Naismith and Fleck are both 'second strikers'Everything will be rosy again when we spank Kilmarnock and The Beat grabs his first goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartM6 279 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 How can people expect david goodwillie to come in and immediately score anywhere near the goals kenny miller has and possibly would. We got lucky after Boyd left, that kenny has scored plenty. This won't change our season but it makes things alot harder, with an even smaller squad. Also 700k- fuck off, united want double that for goodwillie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
docspiderman 1,265 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 the last paragraph of Skys story........However, a number of other clubs are thought to be chasing Miller with a host of foreign sides keen to lure the striker away from GlasgowWhy accept the first bid if there are other clubs wanting him?

Liam_RFC 238 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 700k brought in from the sale of Miller and between 400-500k saved in wages over the remaining six months of his dealThat frees up 1.1-1.2 million straight away and that's before we even consider the possibility of offering Webster and/or Fleck on loan to them as part of the deal too.Smith's wheeling and dealing to get us over the line and I'm going to trust him because he's seen us right so far. this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already got 11 playing for a very average team and he'll be getting much better service at RangersBetter players have come to Rangers and not been able to do it. What I'm saying is that he is not a guarantee to come and score 20-30 goals a season. Yes he's young and that is very encouraging. By no means am I saying he isnt a good player however i would rather that kenny miller wasnt sacrificed for his arrival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If he does not want to sign a new contract then good riddance.Will he be missed? Of course he will! He is miles out in front as our top scorer wtith 22 goals. Naismith has 8 and Jelavic/Lafferty have 4 each. We don't know what we will get from Jelavic when he returns, Beattie is never fit and not good enough, Lafferty is a dud who has 1 SPL goal all season, no goals coming from midfield or defence...Goals will be a worry, anyone who thinks otherwise is on a different planet.
