Anyone think the lad alfred ndiaye who plays for betis on loan from sunderland could be a shout?
Very much the player in the mould of big vic whom I think we have missed dearly in the cl this season, alfred is a senagalese international, 6ft 2 strong and only 24 who plays defensive mid.
this boy ticks all the places and i'm hearing sunderland will be willing to sell him for 2m which is right in our range.
real betis likely to get relegated and I think the idea of cl football would be appealing to him, doubt very much celtic would go for him but

thoughts?

Wouldn't mind a player in the mould of Vic, almost like a centre half playing infront of the back four. His brother McDonald on a free from Inter? Or on the subject of Sunderland, Diakite has impressed on loan at Fiorentina. Bring him in and push Efe into midfield? Anything to get him out of central defence! I'd bring Derdyck Boyata in on a free too to replace Mouyokolo. See what he has to offer and again, maybe push Efe into CDM.

There are some quality players available on a free this summer, a good few would make a massive difference to squad

Just read an article on mcculloch stating he never touched Kayal. Anyway typed in: lee mcculloch is a p**** on google and came across a quote from his book(didnt know he had a book)about how he challenged Paul Hartley to a fight on the pitch. Who does this clown think he is? I can't stand the ratbag and believe he needs brought down a peg or two, ., .kbarry

Kbarry think he was taken down by more than a peg or two on Sunday. Read in the paper today.he said that that was worse than Rangers going down, typical of the man, he never gave a thought to the people who lost money because they went down
Tambhoy

They didn't go down Tam they went bust.

No, I mean i'd like to take him down a peg or two. @tam your wrong they didn't go down, they died didn't you know?, ., .kbarry

Heard on some of the presenters saying it was good that Atletico knocked out Barcelona.
Not in this tim's eyes, I still remember the horror game years ago (for younger Celtic fans just google Celtic-Atletico Madrid 1974)
This lot had an Argentine manager and several Argentine players who when they played at Celtic Park their only thought was to hack down any Celtic player on the ball, wee Jinky took a terrible beating being scythed down at every turn, but his bravery was such he just picked himself up and ran at them again, an incredibly brave performance from the wee man.
They had 3 players sent off on the night and almost the whole team booked, sadly game finished 0-0. The most incredible thing about all this was in the second leg they BLAMED wee Jinky for everything, even giving him death threats.
NO I do not want this team anywhere near the Champions League trophy.

{Ed007's Note - Anyone that beats Barcelona gets a huge thumbs up from me Timbo. But kudos on holding a grudge for 40 years, that's what I like to see.}

Me too .Never forgive

ED007 anyone who was at that game will bear witness to the thuggery that team resorted to, our fans were angry of course, but I was proud of the way they supported the team that night without resorting to violence which could very well have happened.
A weak UEFA barely punished Atletico issuing them with a paltry fine, they should have been kicked out of Europe for years to come.
Yes I hold a grudge, never forget never forgive.
I can honestly say if Celtic ever resorted to those kind of tactics to win a game I would not be a Celtic supporter anymore.
INTEGRITY/FAIRNESS must come first.

For what it's worth Tim
I don't personally agree with holding grudges but if I was going to do it then it would be against the person or people who wronged me. Anything else would be like holding a grudge against your next door neighbour because the people who lived there 40 years ago were a**holes.
Just my opinion and I accept that you are entitled to yours too. I do admire your perseverance though!

Hail Hail

Tim I was there too mate but you can't blame the sin's of the father on the son's mate, they are a good team to watch
Tambhoy

And don't get me started on Rapid V.sad eh!

Same club eff them, ., .kbarry

There's nothing like an open mind kbarry, and your reply was NOTHING like an open mind!

Hail Hail

Having a rare "me" day at home (Mrs T and girls all out) watching BT Sport first game Monaco-Nantes, empty stadium, no atmosphere and boring game.
What a difference next game Flamengo-Leon in the Copa Libertores, 100,000 in Maracana great atmosphere and end to end football.
Got me thinking (I know dangerous) but what is the best stadium you have visited for atmosphere and what is the worst.(not Celtic Park)
Mine are best atmosphere the old Roker Park Sunderland.
Worst has to be the old Brighton stadium, the Withdean, terraces too far from park.

Worst - Hampden

marquez

Best atmosphere definitely westfalstadion last season for dortmund game, by far the worst again hampden run down an terrible atmosphere.

It's good to get a relaxing day to yourself Tim, I am enjoying the peace and quiet while my credit card takes a hammering in random ladies clothes shops in Glasgow.

But it's worth it!

I was lucky enough to attend the Istanbul derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium before it was demolished.

I've been at matches all over Europe but that atmosphere makes the hair on my neck stand up just thinking about it now. If anyone ever gets the chance to go I would highly recommend it.

The worst stadium in my opinion is the old Brockville, I was in my early teens and it was one of my first away games so I think it has just stuck in my head.

I still get a chill down my spine when I drive past the Morrisons that's built where it used to be.

There might be another supermarket built on an old stadium soon .
