The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[illdecide]

I think the problem now is RD knows he's a dead man walking and think the players know that too, every manager will buy someone who turns out to be a flop but the amount of players he signed for similar positions is beggars belief. Defensively we're still poor and out of the 20 odd midfielders we have i'm sure we can muster 4-5 decent ones but the striker situation is a joke and has been for quite some time now, if anything happens Leigh Griffiths then Celtic would be in big trouble.

If Celtic sack him in the summer then i believe they should have done it after Christmas so that the new man in would have had 6 months to bed in and get to know the players and have a proper go at the Champions League Qualifiers in July.

Ronnie McFall would be a better option than Delia.

[tonto1888]

Its not the team.  Its the tuppence hal'penny manager...

It's both, Deila needs to go but there are some truly insipid, gutless players there. Giving journeymen mercenaries like Kazim Richards and Cole two year deals just smacked of desperation, the squad is a complete mess with a handful of proper central midfielders in the squad, one reliable striker, one injury prone winger and about 10 samey average no 10 types. I can't even watch us these days, ultimately Deila is the manager and he's responsible for the state of the squad but even if he goes at the end of the season the new manager inherits a complete and utter mess.

Of the players I'd keep:

Gordon

Sviatchenko
Simunovic
Tierney
Lustig
Izzy

Rogic
Brown
Bitton

Griffiths


Everyone else in the squad can do one as far as I'm concerend, some of them to a greater extent than others but we basically have all of the following players competing for the same position:

Commons
Rogic
Mackay Steven
Allan
Johansen
Armstrong
Chrisie
McGregor

None of them are really that good, Rogic seems to be the one who has a bit more class than the others at the minute. Commons looks done, Johansen has gone to shit and the others just aren't good enough. There seems to be zero thought into signing players, we just seem to be doing it for the sake of it.

Christie needs to be given a chance. Other than that I agree with you

Do u guys actually rate that man Bitton? I think he's terrible...

I think hes alright. Not as good as some make him out tho

With the departure of Neil Lennon and Stokes there appears to be no-one in the first team set-up with a passion for the club. Brown used to be a gritty determined player who brought passion to the game even if a bit ott at times. From his performance on Saturday the current set-up seems to have sucked the life out of him.

Three weeks after the Euro final! If Spain are in it, a lot of the Barca Spanish contingent will be missing. Then again their three big stars - Neymar, Messi and Suarez should be available?

Celtic are gas.  Playing Barcelona in a "glamour" friendly in a foreign city when they struggle to get over pub teams of CL qualifiers .

If there is ever a clear sign modern soccer sucks to high f**king hell this is it.
