The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Club Rossa]

Caldwell has signed for Wigan
Can't say i'm sorry to see the back of him.

[rossie mad]

Im delighted to see the back of that liability anyway.
Now if robson,samaras,killen,wilson and flood could follow suit it hopefully could free up some much needed funds for wages and decent loan signings.

Caldwell has signed for Wigan

Heard the fee was £500,000 with another £500,000 to come with clauses fufilled.
Read elsewhere it was 2 million, that would be great, but head says first one.

Who said Celtic were not a leading club.

BBC reports

Midfielder Robson moves to the Riverside for an undisclosed fee, while midfielder Flood and striker Killen both join on free transfers.
Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan signed all three players during his time at Celtic.
Strachan has spoken of the need to add "leaders" to his Boro squad to boost their promotion challenge this season.

On Caldwell to Wigan

Martinez said he was delighted with his latest signing, describing Caldwell as a leader.

[lynchbhoy]

leader seems tobe the latest buzzword in soccer (and in football this past year too I have to say )

I'd still prefer to have honest (old school) footballers than leaders !

[T Fearon]

I reckon Martinez is confusing Gary Caldwell with Gary Glitter, wasn't he a "leader"

Oh shit, I've probably mortified someone in Cavan with that statement and will be banned for 6 months now

[Main Street]

Wasn't Gary G also renowned for his prophetic hit tune "Doing Alright With the Boys"

[bennydorano]

Not impressed with the departure of Robson at all.

[Club Rossa]

I agree,think we should have kept Robson.

[trileacman]

+1. Robson was good. Dont mind the departure of caldwell.

I dunno lads...he wasn't bad (better than some we have) but for skill he was limited enough but had plenty of heart but not in McStay/Collins/Lubo bracket. I agree the rest of them baloons are better off away from Celtic and maybe Mugga can now bring in another few decent lads with a better skill level than the ones that left

That was the point. We're not talking long term here but he would have tided us over (hopefully) in the transistion.

sorry to see him go, as for caldwell good ridance.

[rossie mad]

i hear from a reliable source that st ledger is looking more likely to sign by the weekend.not a bad acquisition in my eyes.
also some swedish full back seemingly being signed on a free.

jesus if some of these defenders the bhoys are signing are some ways decent there might have a chance of making up some lost ground in the league.lost some crucial points this season due to some dodgy defending.dundee utd game jumps straight to mind.

would love to see three more signings.preferably two midfielders and an out and out centre forward along the lines of zamora or andy johnson.
what about sandaza from dundee utd?
he seems a decent player and trys hard for the arabs might improve his goalscoring record if he came to paradise or am i too optimistic.
