macavoy 1 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Oh well going for another versatile player instead of a quality one. Great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Doesn't sound like McKay's natural position is out wide?No more players out of position please. I don't think he will be played out wide. I still think Ally is going for a Martin O'Neill style 3-5-2.

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 you know what would be sickening? if the taigs come in and get this player as a replacement for injured izagirre or however you spell him.The only way Celt*c could afford to buy a player that would replace Izaguirre is if they sold Izaguirre.

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 A winger for a left-back?they need to replace izaggeris creativity, pace and work ethic on the left hand sidegoing by the celtic squad, i don't see anyone else who can create much on the leftthat's what i'm scared of, it doesn't have to be a direct replacement in a positional sense, but a replacement to offer more creativity.they could quite easily stick in an ordinary fullback on the left with less attacking flair, and get in verhoek to take over the attacking mantlei hope i'm wrong, i've just seen them knick our players far too often the past few seasons.

I understand the fact that Izaguirre is a large part of the way Celtic keep teams on the backfoot but they certainly wouldn't sign Verhoek as any kind of replacement for Izaguirre. They'll just stick Mulgrew at left back. I honestly don't think Izaguirre is substantially better than Mulgrew, either in defending or attacking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
footygeek301 20 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Why don't we just sign Faddy who is a free agent? He could play left midfield or behind the striker.No transfer fee involved, although not sure how fit he is. I know there was talk about him returning to Everton. His wages may be a slight issue, but given no transfer fee would even itself out.I would love to see him here, we need a bit of skill and trickery in the team.

But with the statement above you've just crashed and burned.Izaguirre has been a revelation for them in what has been a problem position (Think Lee Naylor)Comparing Mulgrew to Izaguirre's like comparing Sydney Devine to Frank Sinatra.

They are worlds apart.Cheers for the patronising post! Ha are you a seasoned pro or something? Izaguirre gets forward well but leaves Celtic hugely exposed at the back whenever they face a decent team. If Celtic played teams that could get at them with any regularity, he'd get ripped to shreds. He's a good player for the SPL but nothing more. Mulgrew is a bit of a donkey but i don't think he's all that bad. He's decent in the air and his set pieces alone mean he's good enough for the SPL. If Izaguirre was all that brilliant, i'd expect Celtic to struggle without him. On the contrary, I don't think his absence will make much difference to them while competing for the SPL.

wilkorfc 2 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 i feel sick after losing another player. why do we keep putting low bids in for players, then after there clubs tell us the bid is no good we continue to waste time, energy and our hope bidding way below again and again just to lose out to one of the clubs we are alerting to this player. madness is what it is and im getting really sick of it. how many players will we lose out on?? we need a game changing player in our squad after losing weiss yet we wont pay 2.5m for one of the best wingers in holland. we are in a mess when all were looking for is a multi tasking player who is not great in any position!!! pure madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loan Ranger 48 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Been away for a few hours - surprised this thread is still open. I know he hasnt officially signed yet but if Rangers had any intention of hijacking this bid then we would have heard something by now.This thread will just turn into another bitch fest...and embarrassing.Close the thread.
