scott mcdonald

I was wondering why my knee was so sore lately..

 

Celtic have secured the services of Motherwell's Scott McDonald, with the 23-year-old Australian striker now certain to join the Bhoys squad this summer.

Hoops manager Gordon Strachan pre-empted a possible move from Rangers for the player after the Ibrox club missed out on his signature on transfer deadline day in January.

Rangers, however, were rumoured to have tabled a £400,000 bid for the striker two months ago - and this is a figure Celtic have more than matched.

Well boss Maurice Malpas confirmed: "It is well known that Scott wants to move on from Fir Park. The club has succeeded in securing a healthy transfer fee for him and ensuring that he will remain with us to the end of the season.

"No club would wish to lose a player of Scott's quality but we wish him well in the future."

McDonald, who has notched up 12 goals this season added: "I have thoroughly enjoyed playing for Motherwell and I will leave with a lot of good memories.

"I hope the fans appreciate that I want to move on and develop my career and I would like to thank them for the support they have given me."

thanks for that.
I can't say i really want him now. If we keep nagging at him we might start to sound desperate. If he was thinking to come he'd probably done it now like Thompson ** cough*.
Yet, seems good news, might boost our midfield.

 

Poor mate, poor

 

I say it helps to WIN the SPL, Rangers signing Nacho Novo sure did, at the time we could have signed him, and I said I hope it doesnt come back to bite us in the *, and guess what, it did!

 

Lets start afresh

I wasn't suggesting for one second that SMcD will be a main striker, i think it's pretty obvious he will be back-up. But just because we need back-up strikers, doesn't mean they have to be of this guys standard, my sights are set slightly higher than that. Plus the fact his name still rankles with a lot of fans, i think there would have been FAR better options.

 

hmm..... Are you sure?

WGS seems to not care about bringing in players a lot of the fan base dislikes, Miller, Pressley, Hartley and now McDonald.

 

The four of which i never wanted anywhere near Paradise (especially Hartley, and on all four cases it's not just because of the fact i didn't like them), and the four of which i've given my full support when they have signed.

At the end of the day, Scotteroo is not what i want to see at CP, because first and foremost he's not good enough, and to a lesser extent he made sure i had the worst day of my life THAT day.

 

welcome scott mcdonald a tim i beleive from timage family.
a natural striker in the mould of not kenny miller or craig beattie,
will i believe score plenty of goals for us and only 23, lots to learn .
what exactly was the guy ment to do that day i believe he went for the outlandis thinking no chance, but it flew in but even so he was employed by motherwell that day.
ffs bhoys let it go. remember charlie nicholas before returning here at hampden,
that day was of all our own making
i'm over the moon he's coming and think wgs will be proved right

 

juts coz he has tim genes doesnt mean hes gonna score lots a goals. anyway he'll just be a squad player, cant really see him playing in europe
