The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[corn02]

Well if McDonald, Hessilink et al struggle to see off the likes of Falkirk, Kilmarnock etc it is safe to say they are not on a level par with Barcelona.

I see "Magic" has signed for a team over here

That was not the question.
Celtic are not on a par with Milan either, thats friggin obvious and not relevant.
Sounds like you are being dismissive of an SPL team having the audacity to even compete in the CL, never mind aspire to get past the last 16.

So what was the question?> If it was is he good enough for Celtic v barcelona my answer would be yes. There is no striker at the club that would get neat the Camp Nou, and I believe Lafferty would be as good as what Celtic have at the moment. So therefore he is good enough for the game but like all the Celtic players he is a mile off Barcelona standards.

I would love to see Cetlic progess, but if they did not even the most blinkered fan could claim they were on a level bar with Barcelona. Soit is friggin relevant.

For fcuk sake, read a few posts back, the lad has played in 76 matches for Burnley and has only scored 8 goals, piss poor record for a striker!!
We ave f**king midfielders who have scored more this season.
Skippy 19 goals so far this season, JVOH 11 goals this season, McGeady 9 goals so far this season!
So to answer your question, NO he is not good enough for Celtic! 

[lynchbhoy]

thats a lot of goals scored for a team that is still poor in supplying decent or enough ball into scoring positions (low or high)

I still think its madness going after strikers when the prob is at left back and centre half (now that the right full back problem has been more than solved by the addition of hinkel)

If he does sign, it'll be a good test at Windsor to see how far the FFA campaign has come.

Making no comment or giving any opinions of what Kyle could have meant, I would like to point out the following.

A year ago, when a transfer to Celtic was first mooted, Kyle said that if he signed for Celtic there could be uproar and he would have to consider his international career. A year on, he is confident enough to say that whilst aware [of] what happened to Neil Lennon when he joined Celtic from Leicester City, he is also aware those days are gone now, thankfully.

Samaras has been signed on loan I suppose that puts an end to the speculation about a massive splurge on a young player with possible potential like Lafferty.

I would think the same thing. I think the FFA supporters should be hopeful that Lafferty goes to Celtic. It would be a good chance for them to show how much things have changed. I'm sure there would be a portion of numbskulls who would boo him or abuse him, but they'd probably be the exception that proves the rule. I can't imagine there would be significant booing or abuse.

Look lads, he ain't coming.
Don't know about future "potential", but he's had 3 seasons at Burnley and is still a mediocre player.
Glad to hear Samaras is coming on loan, could have been another costly buy for little return, at least now we can see if he can do the business before we buy.

[Main Street]

possible future potential 

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

possible future potential 

Fair enough. 

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Hutton signed for Spurs - confirmed! Class news, hopefully Walter Smith will go out and panick buy a couple of crap players before the deadline.

Never thought he was worth 9 million though!

Huns should have held onto him til the Summer - obviously i'm not complaining! 

[Main Street]

I heard they had to pay him £1m (loyalty!) just to get rid of him and get the Spurs cash.

[nifan]

Thats a lot of money for a full back.
Ive not seen much of him, is he really that good?
