Frankie 505 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I don't see the Celtic midfield being any better than ours. However, we do need to sign a right sided player to give ours a better balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Is that the Adu that can't get into the USA national team ahead of Beasely?Now, Nakamura, Brown, Donati and McGeady are a decent midfield. However, Beasley, Thomson, Ferguson and AN Other is more than a match for them. Bring it on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think our midfield could compete with theirs, will be even better if we do manage to get a suitable right sided midfielder, I also think our defensive players could snuffle them out.

Frankie 505 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yes, he's contributed to the under 20's because of their world cup this year. He did OK there as they reached the 1/4 finals.Adu is now 18 (allegedly!) and if he was as good as everyone suggests, he wouldn't be playing for Real Salt Lake and he'd be contributing to the full squad. He's simply nothing special and if he signed for Celtic it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that they have gotten rid of Lennon we are looking at a much fitter and creative bunch in the middle ....this isn't going to be easyI'm with you on this matey.We don't have the enthuasisim and drive of a Brown in our midfieldWe don't have the creativity and flair of NakamuraWe do have the play making ability of Donati in Ferguson and ThompsonWe do have the speed of Beasley though but I think we need more drive and running in our midfield and a more creative influence.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,783 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 QPR are one of the favourites to get relegated from The Championship this year, pre season means absolutely nothing.Yes Celtic have signed a few players that make have more movement in midfield, but we are more than capable of competing with them IMO.Ferguson on his game, is one of Europe's best playmakers. Ask anybody at Bayern, Parma, Villarael, Porto, Inter, Valencia, Galatasary, PSV Eindhoven or Monaco and they wil mirror thsoe sentiments.From an experience stand point the entire Celtic midfield has 80 international caps between them. Ferguson and Beasley have 106 between them, throw in McCulloch and that figure is up to 117 caps.Brown appears to be the guy that Celtic are going to build their team around, but he has a temprament and injury record that suggests to me anyway that he will bottle it at the big club. Every body is raving about how he has played so far, but that always happens with new players as the spotlight is on them so much that journalists/ pundits don't see how well others have played as they are too busy focusing on the new guy.Also has the majority of Scotland suddenly forgotten that Thomson was rated as the more complete and mature player out of the pair of them until he moved to us?Like I have said before I honstantly think that comparing us to them is not realistic at this moment in time: they are adding to a squad that has been together for nearly three years. We are building a squad almost from scratch. Big Difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest therabbitt Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yes, he's contributed to the under 20's because of their world cup this year. He did OK there as they reached the 1/4 finals.Adu is now 18 (allegedly!) and if he was as good as everyone suggests, he wouldn't be playing for Real Salt Lake and he'd be contributing to the full squad. He's simply nothing special and if he signed for Celtic it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.What are you basing your opinion on dude? Have you watched him play? Ive been watching the MLS for quite a few years now and he is a fantastic prospect if played in position and given time on the park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
