The American Kljestan you have on trial is a lot better than the American fella Rangers signed last year

I can't complain - they give us $5million for him

I hope that's in play dollars....then again The Mint has very deep pockets. And a private jet to ferry in the cream of worldwide talent. Like Kirk Broadfoot.

Greart day on Saturday. Met the legendary Stevie Chalmers in the car park before the match, laughed my b**ls off when a punter shouted at Derek Riordan as he got off the Hibs team bus "Are the pubs no open in Edinburgh today Riordan?"

, good win (though another silly goal conceded from a set piece, and the Huns drop more points.

Willo Flood on his way to Parkhead, from Cardiff via Dundee Utd for a cut price £60,000

Thus rumour the mongers. Excellent signing, was very impressed when I watched him play for Dundee Utd against Celtic at the start of January, when he seemed to have the measure fo Brown. Could also help the lad get into the Ireland squad as well

great little tricky winger, only problem is that I think hes a bit light.
Was loved by Manc city I think it was when he played there.
Still hes lively and a terrier, would tackle back and get stuck in.
That McCourt, McGinn and now Flood - is a tricky mazy winger this seasons transfer object of desire for Strachan
last year 1008, was the 'year of the midfielder'

will it be 2010 and 2011 before we see 'the year of the left back' and 'the year of the centre half'

Mightn't be too long. Apparently he has asked Newcastle about their left back, a Spaniard, and Kinnear has asked him about Mc Manus?

hopefully its buy one , get one free and GS will throw in caldwell too (though I'd prefer to keep mcmanus)

Rav67 · January 26, 2009, 06:40:04 PM

Flood is not what we need! Another feckin pointless signing if he comes. Let the lad get a game at Dundee Utd and keep them competitive. He'd play wide which would leave himself, McGeady, Naka, Mizuno, McCourt, McGinn, Maloney who all play there and WGS even plays Hartley, Brown or Robson wide from time to time. And still no competent senior left back- the continued failure to sign one borders on the negligent.

lfdown2 · January 26, 2009, 06:59:46 PM

was thinkin that its all a cunning plan by strachan when watching the game at the weekend, he is buying the best 'talent' from the other spl clubs ruining their careers then selling them back maybe he's not as thick as i had thought....

Myles Na G. · January 26, 2009, 07:11:41 PM

Caldwell, Wilson, Brown, Hartley, McDonald, Robson... Celtic's best signings in the past few years have been the players bought from other SPL teams. Hopefully Flood'll be the same.

caldwell - def not
wilson - absolutely not
brown - starting to show his potential
mcdonald - done v well but only at spl level
Robson - same as mcdonald

youre aiming low !

strachan has had limited funds to work with in comparison with oneill.yes there is no real comparison between the likes of sutton,lennon and hartson to the likes of hartley mcdonald robson or brown but then again oneill was able to spend 5 or 6 million on players.caldwell for a free transfer has been pretty good.wilson was got for next to nothing and has done okay when not injured.hartley came for more or less nothing and robson wasnt expensive and have all done a job.brown had a poor year last year but had a lot of family problems.oneill also had the "one-off" who was larsson who pulled them out of holes time and time again.the free transfers and small money signings have still scraped through to the knockout stages of CL twice
