bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 If Bougherra goes we need two new central defenders, and players already at the club do not count!I wouldn't dispute that at all,I just don't see two new centre backs being played beside each other right away.Central defence is a priority,or should be!

caseyjones 3,009 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I can't see Bougherra going anywhere now. Him and Weir as this season's centre-half pairing. Whittaker, Broadfoot, McCulloch and Papac to be used as cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent did state last week that wages could be a stumbling block. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent did state last week that wages could be a stumbling block.I hope not,if Cuellar wants to come back that bad I would hope he would take a cut to get back to winning medals.We really need younger guys though,Bartley would be great to get in,he still has a long way to go but would do a great job in there beside Cuellar or Weir.Hopefully we have our eyes on ones for the future as well as this season.

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Considering the gulf in quality of both old firm goalies too, what was the shut out comparison between both clubs like? Surely with SDoW and the Uk's number one in our back 5 we would have more shut outs and the least amount of goals conceded over a season too. Any stats statos?Celtic's defence last season was a lot better than it was given credit for. Wilson had a better season than Whittaker and Majstorovic was generally solid despite falling apart completely at InvernessIncidentally, clean sheet wise; Celtic 23, Rangers 18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRFC1 115 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Kerkar 1 year dealHealy 1 year dealWeir 1 year dealPatheticWhat happened to the Takeover/ no Takeover ListAbsolutely Awful from the Club.?Why not keep our already thin squad and add to it instead of getting rid of squad players to bring in other squad player.Its not fucking FM, we need a squad and Healy is good cover and so is Weir.Its not absolutely awful at all apart from maybe Kerkar because he played about 5 mins.The club are going in the right direction, Papac, Weir and Healy are all over 30 and have been offered 1 year deals and thats a good route to go down.What I have seen so far has impressed me, we are trying to keep our squad and add to it and we are showing that we are not going to pay over the odds and we are actually trying to negotiate instead of diving in and wasting cash. I have absolutely no idea how giving these players a 1 year deal is awful.Get a grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to improve imo, big time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,505 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Weir will not be back up. A certain starter.A depressing thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdunsmb 43 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 If Weir signs, which is looking likely now, I fully expect him to be a first team regular and our captain as per the last few seasons.For better or for worse, time will tell... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,409 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I am getting really concerned now with the season fast approaching.At times last year it looked as though this current crop of players where on their last legs and now we have even less players I am really getting worried by the lack of new faces.

MillwallLoyal 284 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I actually make it a 25 man squad at present?McGregorAlexanderWhittakerColeBougherraMcMillanWeirBroadfootPerryPapacMcCullochHutton DavisBendiksenEduNessWyldeKerkarNaismithFleckJelavicBeattieLaffertyHealyLittleOut of those can see Beattie going on a free, and Bougherra hopping it at the first opportunity. Also wouldn't be suprised with a big bid coming in for Shagger, & Edu moving on for a small profit. On the Whittaker situation who knows? Cuellar, Bartley, Wallace & Cammy Bell in.
