So Who Stays?

get a grip of yourself paulie!! i also said paddy mccourt was a poor mans lionel messi so see if you cant figure out that the two comments were a joke then you are a sad wee individual! And your comment said "Morten Rasmussen (anyone heard of him before January?) what the *'s that got to do with anything eh?

 

Do you know pauli walnuts personally to call him a sad wee individual ,your trolling another member. There will be no more of it.

 

awright cool didnt realise i was trolling

 

sammy you have to be kidding this guy is worst celtic player ever

 

There's only a handful of players which I would be desperate to keep, these are:
Boruc, Hinkel and Crosas. These are players I would rather keep than sell.


Players who we can't really judge so far or still have potential: Rasmussen, Hooiveld, Rogne, McGinn.



I'm not saying the rest are completely useless but they are players who I see as prime candidates to be sold - to bring in fresh faces.

 

Would keep mcgeady keane zaluska and hinkel time for the rest to go.

 

Every single one of the players who played today can go, they have no fighting spirit at all. We have several others injured or missing, so they at least deserve their chance.

Let's not stop at player level, let's go right to the top, Desmond and Lawwell are also guilty of selling the Celtic support short. Yes the wage bill is less, but the quality of the squad is absolutely shocking.

Just watch the attendances plummet between now and the end of the season, we should boycott the new strip for starters until some quality players are brought in. I personally will not be renewing my season ticket, I will opt for purchasing on a game to game basis, get reasonable results (not winning every game) and put on good performances and I will spend my money, if not I'll stay at home and watch Sky Sports.

 

boruc .. its unbelieavable how bad that team is .. what the * happened

 

Aiden McGeady should be one of the first people on the transfer list come summer.

This opinion isn't based on this Ross County game. We've been hearing about his 'potential' for a while now. His end product is up there with the worst I've ever seen from a winger.

Anyone crazy enough to pay £5m for a winger with no end product, I'd snap the hand off them.

I also think the fact he's Irish and he's a Celtic man, lets him escape quite a lot of criticism.

 

Keep Boruc, McGeady, Maloney and give Hooiveld, Rogne+Rasmussen a chance to prove themselves, the rest aren't worth the steam of my *.

 

110% agree McGeady is a ONE trick pony who finally showed his true worth against those mighty Highlanders - if we get £1000 for him then snap their hands off and yes i said £1000

 

From the 1st minute today you could see that players mentality was "off" and they thought that going through the motions would be enough.

The spine of the team was completely misfiring, the 2 CB's and 2 CM's were completely out of it and could never control the game. I wasnt convinced by N'Guemo all season and I dont think he's worth the stretch. Crosas wasnt much better, trying passes that were simply not on.

We need CB's that are comfortable with the ball at their feet. Thompson, Hooiveld, O' Dea, McManus & Rogne are not that type of defender. They see the ball in danger and they'll drive it up the field away from their goal, they dont have the technical ability or intelligence to control the game.

Ross County's tactics were spot on today, they played the high line and pressed all day long, and didnt give the CM's or the CB's time to sit on the ball. Any player given time and space will do a job, the difference between good and bad players is how they play when they are closed down quickly. The good ones will find space and create space for their teammates. Our players couldnt do it because they are poor.

As poor as McManus is, he's better than whats at Celtic currently and he has a better mentality than most of the squad at present. Celtic need to invest in a quality partner for him and a quality partner for Brown, someone that when Brown wins the ball can put the ball to good use.

 

Agree with most everything you said in this statement, however I would question your opinion of Crosas' passing display.

If you are a CM with the ball at your feet, looking for where to send it and in front of you, you see Fortune, Sammy and McGeady all standing static. There was no movement from any of these players, and the one player who did have some movement (Keane) was being doubled up on by the time Crosas got on the pitch because (and I can't believe I'm writing this) the Ross Co. defenders looked like they had the other 3 well in hand - and they did.

Now, I'm not saying Crosas was great, but it makes it so much more difficult when those in front are providing so few options.

 

I would keep, Boruc, Zaluska, Hinkel, Rogne, Hooveield.

 

Agreed there.

That tells more about our CBs confidence then ability with the ball. Well, apart from Thompson who can't pass the ball further than 10 yards. I've noticed they kick the ball to throw too often, it's a basic routine of a defender to know what to do with ball. I think it should be implemented into our lads, not replacing them.

Ross County taught us a lesson in tactics. It's a sad day when Derek Adams (along with that * Craig Brewster) is showing more tactical consistency than Lennon. And today McGeady once again showed how limited he is when he's doubled and cut off space.

After Boruc, McManus is my favourite player. But I disagree that he's better what we go currently. Wee Rogne has showed more ability in such short time than McManus in most matches. He's quite limited, but passionate as *.

We don't need anyone to partner Brown as he's useless. He should be sold to anyone who offers more than £4m as I think there are people who are daft enough to offer that much. We need to find someone to partner Crosas, now that's a challenge. We have N'Guemo who has convinced me we should apply £1.5m clause and sign him permanently. They make a good midfield pair.

 

He was a marked improvement on N'Guemo but he was going for killer passes from distance that clearly werent on, several times which annoyed me no end because it was clear to me that we needed to exploit to flanks than try to breakdown the middle because as you say, Keane was double marked.

He's suppose to be a playmaker but his intelligence on the ball today was questionable for me

I find it funny that you'd say that after todays performance. N'Guemo was nothing short of a disgrace for an international level footballer. Brown won the ball more times for him to give it away or get caught in possession, it was criminal.

 

Very few...they are pish...and listen...that goalkeeper is a * dud!

 

dont know about mark hughes, he was in charge of man city with millions £ and did not do anything with them so i probably would look elsewhere, we have to look abroad and bring in a foriegn manager to the team a wim janson type, one who knows what he is doing, the back bone of this team has been ripped out by mowbury so its a case of starting again, players to keep- Ras, Hoosvield, Rogne, - out of that team that played today * thats a hard one- keane (if he will stay after that shambles),hinkel, - sorry thats it i would put the rest up for sale and use the money to bring in players, they are not fit to wear the green and white, my mum could of put a better shift in today than that lot, and as for the loan signings we have , i would pack them all off now(apart from keane), sorry to rant on but thats my view.

 

Today they were both rank. Brown is also international level footballer (* good one in Scotland jersey), yet he's proved how consistent he is in being *. Probably most consistent player after Naylor.

N'Guemo has done more this season than Brown undoubtedly. He showed how good he can be in defence, tackle at the right time and save defenders from bombscare episodes. Unlike Broon who only clatters players around for 90 minutes, wears armband, which is absolute disgrace, and cream on the crop - he gets booked almost every single time when he's in first 11. That's two minutes of his ugly face on telly guaranteed, mind you.
