Hearing it looks like odegarrd will be coming to us next season,any news ED?

{Ed007's Note - Benitez didn't want to take the Odegaard on the pre-season tour of Australia and China until Club President Florentino Perez stepped in and over-ruled Benitez after the player's father asked him to intervene.
As I said the other day nothing will be decided on Odegaard until after Madrid's pre-season tour and there's nothing I've heard saying otherwise.}

1.) 07 Jul 2015 18:24:35
Just can't see it myself ED! Surely Madrid want him settled in Spain and getting used to la liga? Not playin at Dingwall on a freezin December night lol! I know the boys a talent but I just don't see what the point of this would be! We need a decent striker,not a 16 year old midfielder! Like I said,theres no doubt at all he's a very talented boy.just don't think we need him.

{Ed007's Note - The talk was he was being sent to Getafe. I can't see why they would send him here unless it's non-footballing reasons and they want RD to sort him out.}

2.) 07 Jul 2015 18:41:39
Yeh I can see him at a mid table la liga team! Just don't see what Madrid have to gain by sending him to the SPL! And like I said,we just don't need him! We've commons johanssen and Armstrong that play in that position! Let's just hope it's more paper talk!

3.) 07 Jul 2015 19:48:53
They wanted him to stay in the city so he can settle and adapt to La Liga football. I can't really see it being concrete as some of the sources reporting it ain't particularly great and there is other options around Europe, Ajax for example that's better suited to him development wise.

{Ed007's Note - There was talk of him being sent straight to Ajax last summer after he signed with Madrid and I'd imagine the Spaniards are now regretting not finalising it.}

4.) 07 Jul 2015 19:52:34
Have you ever seen him play he's a very special talent and will give us something different attacking wise. I personally would love to see him here he would be a nice wee super sub to bring on when we need a goal created or scored

5.) 07 Jul 2015 21:33:05
I don't think Madrid would send him over here to be a super sub mate lol! They'd want assurances that the boy would be in the startin line up! Can't see it happnin but,just can't see how sending him to the SPL will help him settle in Spain!

6.) 07 Jul 2015 22:40:01
I think they want delia to sort out his attitude. I think we will get him. Plus loo what delia done with deynar and deynar done for himself in the spl

21 Jun 2015 21:12:37
Reading there we're back in for Djuric! Don't know how true it is mind u! 7 goals in 72 games for Cesena,doesn't exactly fill me with much optimism! Hope it's not true! Get vossen signed up! But the cheap option will always happen first with Lawell! U heard anythin about this ED?

{Ed007's Note - I have not mate, sorry.}

1.) 22 Jun 2015 02:55:38
Vossen doesn't look too good at moment either Wiss67. can't understand why we are not scouting Michiel Kramer. Bumper of a player

2.) 22 Jun 2015 09:49:16
Yeh Kramer would be a good shout to mate! Big bit of a boy to! Think vossen done well last season to but mate! He was played in a deeper roll at boro but when he's up top he's a proven goalscorer.either of these to would do for me.

3.) 22 Jun 2015 15:44:12
Sergio Araujo that we're linked to Las Palmas gained promotion to La Liga so it might be expensive to sign him now too.

4.) 23 Jun 2015 13:32:00
Araujo and Kramer would be great signings. If it's true about Djuric i'll only be scratching my head. Of all the players to go for why him?

So looks like ciftci is coming then! I will give the guy all the support I would any new signing! Just hope you rite ED and we've got a main signing target in mind for the striking position! Think ciftci will be a decent squad player but he's not going to make that difference in Europe! Like I said but,I will support the guy and I wish him all the best! On another note,did anyone read wee joe Miller this morning? If ciftci has a good agent he'll use celtic as a stepping stone! Honest to god,do these guys just open there mouth and let anything come out! Come on to f**k joe,the guys no even here yet! Stepping stone and celtic is not what we want to here! Especially off one of our own! Come on wee man!

07 Jul 2015 02:07:33
Reading Adam Mathews sayin the same old garbage that players who move to England feel they need to say! The scottish league isn't that great and that's why he's not startin for wales! Utter Pish! I like Matthews and he done a job for us,but don't talk shite son! U were getting a game for Wales when u were a regular starter for us! Just like Ledley hartson and Bellamy were in the scottish league! The reason why u lost your Wales place was a combination of losin your place to a better player in lustig and injury! Does my box in when these players have to put the boot into our league as soon as they hit England! So many examples of it! And not just players but managers to! All the celtic fans have wished the boy well and hope he does well! But don't spout shite just to give the English media what they want to hear! What will be his exuse if he doesn't get in the Sunderland team??

1.) 07 Jul 2015 05:10:42
Couldn't agree more mate all the rubbish he's coming out with now after he's gone should just keep there mouth shut Scottish league ain't the best that's obvious but he ain't gonae get the games we are involved in European games enjoy relagation battles every year while were partying in the champions league haha hail hail

2.) 07 Jul 2015 09:31:26
Never thought Adam would stoop

3.) 07 Jul 2015 10:10:19
I admit its never nice to hear but come on what else can be said about the standard of the league? It isn't great. Apart from us who would stay up in the epl? Tv money aside which makes the farce possible, just our 1st 11s from the spl v the first 11s of the epl then there is no doubt in my mind that many of the spl clubs wouldn't do well. As for international places, sad as it may seem he will just have to be fairly regular in the Sunderland side to be guaranteed a place in the Wales set up but up here he would have to be both a regular and playing well to be in his national side due to the low opinion of our league. I wouldn't read too much into the comments the story practical wrote itself the moment he moved.

4.) 07 Jul 2015 10:31:48
That's the problem but mate! These stories practically write themselves every time a player moves from scotland to down there! Of course the league up here isn't great! A blind man could see that! And yes it frustrates me that we're stuck in it! But it's far to easy to say the leagues crap and that's why he's not getting in the Wales team! When the facts are,lustig is a far better player and if fit would be keepin him out the team! And the fact that he was injured more often than not this past year or so! Just pisses me off when every player or manager who lands down there feels they have to put the boot into our game! Sorry but he's went down in my book with these comments!

5.) 07 Jul 2015 11:18:22
Im just glad we got a bit of cash instead of running down his contract. he has rolled the dice. Few injuries or another Sunderland signing and he could well end up 3rd choice down there. He might not realise just how patient and loyal we have been to him considering his injury record.

6.) 07 Jul 2015 11:53:00
I wish players would just tell the truth and admit that it's the money they're moving for.
I'm not saying that's wrong, most of us would probably do the same, but I wouldn't mind betting that if Celtic could pay him more than he's earning at Sunderland, he would stay here and playing for Wales wouldn't come in to it.
It's the same story with Van Dijk, he has got into the Dutch squad while playing for Celtic, but when he gets his move to England, he'll be telling everybody that he needed to move because playing in Scotland damages his chances of playing for Holland, not the real reason that he will be making plenty of money.

02 Jul 2015 11:49:14
Must admit I'm puzzled a bit by the janko signing,I thought maybe it was for right mid or wing,but I see RD sayin he wants him at RB! So we've now got 4 right backs and only 1 left back! Or 2 because big mulgrew can go in there! But I think it's pretty clear we need competion for izzy! And I'm sure I heard the manager wants to trim the squad! Can u see Matthews and maybe fisher leavin ED? And is there any news on our striker search bud?

{Ed007's Note - As I've said before I think Matthews will be on the move but I have no idea about Fisher, perhaps he's going to be second choice RB if Lustig moves into the middle. I think we will see a lot of our young players given more of a chance this coming season, you'll never know how good a player will be until you give them a chance, it's something I personally feel the club has let slip over recent years and fans demands for multi-million £ players in every position doesn't help nurture youngsters. I've been guilty of it myself over the years, a young player comes through and is dubbed the 'next so and so' and as soon as he makes a couple of mistakes the crowd and fans are on their back.
I've not heard anything new today about a striker.}

1.) 02 Jul 2015 14:16:39
Oh don't get me started on that Academy Ed mate. a reckon in the last FIFTEEN years there is only four players from it that has given us 50 games or more and that is SHOCKING for the size of it IMO

A take a real interest in this side as a have typed my support for those that could have made it again IMO and the next disaster waiting to happen is the let go of Jackson Irvine in the same season we let Andrew Robertson go Jackson Irvine was the best prospect @ Parkhead and a said the person who decided to let Robertson leave to keep the Twardzik twins together should get his jotters! only to take stick for it

PS week before last Hull's Evening standard headline was Hull's most valued asset and Steve Bruce saying he wants "£30 MILLION FFS (that's right thirty ) for Robertson naturally he will not get it or is worth it but one's thing for sure he is worth more than letting him go! ATVB JB7

{Ed007's Note - Is it the quality of the players or is it that they are just not given a chance? Let's face it we are going to cruise the league so why not use more youngsters and see how things work out?
Hopefully under RD we will see a higher number and a better quality of youngsters breaking through. One of my favourite stats about RD is that between 2001-2007 not ONE single Stromsgodset player earned a youth cap (including under 21s) for Norway. However, in just 5 years under Deila, the figure reached 179, that's works out at an average of 36 per season.}

2.) 02 Jul 2015 15:12:58
I honestly don't know Ed , I actually said last season when RD was getting stick and there were a few not buying into it to throw ALL the young blood on and again got stick for it thankfully we have moved on from that with RD!

I was going to ask it is now trendy to play a GK in a one of the other tournaments and let him "see it through" so given we have already won the LC why not let Fasan play in that tournament through the rounds of it , it is the least important of the tournaments we are in just wondered what you and other's think of that idea?

BTW a looked just there at Jackson Irvine's twitter page and it seems he is back at parkhead? a thought they had let him go just seems everybody says "Efe is a bombscare" "Mulgrew is useless" etc. etc. and there a lad more than capable of playing CH and his preference CDM and most really don't know much about him mate

As you say let's give them a chance instead of giving them away!

My fav RD story is how he treated Mohammed Abu/Abdu speaks volumes for me (y)

3.) 02 Jul 2015 17:36:59
Is it not one thing you can say you learned from Salary mccoist ,is the biggest, although that's a difficult call,mistake he made was not playing the young players last year when the league was sewn up,.I hope Henderson gets more games this year.

4.) 02 Jul 2015 19:25:23
I know I'm a bit old fashioned, but I think we should play our strongest team in all competitions.
I think that young players should earn their place in the first team on merit, if they're good enough they will stand out, and force their way into the team.
I don't agree Jamie that we should rate one competition higher than another, to me it's giving the green light to all the players that they can take it easy, and it doesn't matter if they lose. Once that way of thinking becomes established in the squad' it won't take long for that attitude to stretch to league matches, and a match against Ross County doesn't seem as important as a match against Aberdeen.
I think that Celtic should be ultra competitive in every match we play, a lot of fans travel long distances, and spend a lot of money supporting them, the least they should expect is for the strongest possible team to be selected, whatever their age.

5.) 02 Jul 2015 19:59:48
Hi Gerry, That's fair enough mate I take and respect your point , but with the LC we always seem to tinker with it especially in the earlier rounds as it runs into the CL mate

That's how we got turned over by Morton a few years back we made 8 changes a think and played PUKKI up front as a lone striker :-0 so your point is valid to me

But this is the way we are going in terms of youth need to be tried & tested me personally a have BIG hopes for Fasan (y)

6.) 02 Jul 2015 21:27:57
I take your point too Jamie, I know this is how football is nowadays.
I can see the wisdom in giving Fasan a run, he looks a very good prospect.
As you said, we made all those changes against Morton, and lost the match, that's what I think is wrong.
If they want to experiment with youngsters, I feel that only 1 or 2 should be introduced at a time, so they can play alongside the experienced players who can help them through.

7.) 02 Jul 2015 22:15:33
I agree we should always play our strongest team,but what if our strongest team is actually one that contains one of the younger players,what I mean is sometimes a player that might enhance the team is left out because he is percieved to lack experience or to be too young,I agree that the team should not be chopped and changed like RD was doing at the start of last season,but maybe that was his way of finding out what kind of players he had at his disposal,I don't agree with squad rotation just for the sake of squad rotation,I believe in a settled team that is only changed because of injury or lack of form.

30 Jun 2015 09:29:50
So it's true we're after ciftci then! Cheap option again! Thought maybe we would get a surprise and go for somebody with a bit more pedigree! But shouldn't really be shocked! Same old stuff every season! I know we can't and or should I say won't spend silly money on players but I'm really getting sick of these run of the mill strikers we're continually going for! Ciftci is average at best,and he's a loose cannon! Don't mean to sound negative but if this is the guy we're after as our main striker then it really is a sad day! We deserve better than this! U think we would have learned with bangura pukki balde Rasmussen! But it seems we havnt!

1.) 30 Jun 2015 10:04:09
The reason we are in for him is because he offers something different we have also bid for vossen.ciftci also knows the leauge and is still young but your right he's also got a bad side bit so did Di canio and we all loved him if it's true and becomes a hoop the give the bhoy a chance he might surprise you

2.) 30 Jun 2015 10:12:11
Vossen is in talks with Burnley.

3.) 30 Jun 2015 10:16:31
Cheap option for me mate as usual! Think he's average at best! If he comes I'll give him a chance but for me this is underwhelming! And it looks like vossen is off to burnley! Another chanced miss! But like I said,not surprised! Same old stuff!

4.) 30 Jun 2015 10:29:09
Gutted again! Again and again. only myself to blame. I allow my self time after time to suck in the total site talk that cums from the club to bump u the already depleting season ticket sales. our standard of player and ambition is getting lower and lower but guess that's who and what we are now

5.) 30 Jun 2015 10:31:50
Sorry for being so negative but the reality of how site we are and how site we are going to be in future kills me

6.) 30 Jun 2015 10:34:28
Burnley wtf that depressing mate

7.) 30 Jun 2015 11:23:37
Wiss67 to be fair Rasmussen never got a chance. there's no way he was ever going to get game before Robbie Keane.

Wouldnt worry about Cifti. Probably paper talk

8.) 30 Jun 2015 11:40:18
Give it a rest, Burnley are offering him £35-£40K per week. Says more about Vossen wanting to sign for them when we can give him the chance of ECL. Cifti will give us something different and would be a good addition to the team in my opinion. Stop complaining and let's give RD a chance. RD likes his sort of player who is desparate to learn and work. Keep the Faith. Hail Hail

9.) 30 Jun 2015 11:52:01
Totally agree with u Belfast! And it's not being negative! Ciftci is an average striker! And we've had far to many of them in the last few years! Wasted money on and endless line of sub standard front men,instead of spending a bit more on someone with a proven record! But I'm not surprised in the slightest! Vossen was never going to happen! Because there would have been a decent fee involved and a decent wage! Season ticket sales,new balance deal and 3 new Strips out this season and we're still at the usual penny pinching! And we honestly think we deserve to be in CL! This will probably come across to a lot of people like I'm jumpin the gun and it's still early and there's time to bring people in! But this is the same old crap every season now! And Uve got the manager and his 2 assistants tellin us about how if we went with this squad for next season they'd be happy! Sounds like lawells words to me! And means no money of note will be spent! Hope I'm proved wrong but I doubt it! Sorry for the rant guys,just fed up with this every year!

10.) 30 Jun 2015 11:05:20
Ed did celtic bid for vossen.

{Ed007's Note - Yes,}

11.) 30 Jun 2015 12:23:17
So what happened ED,did burnley out bid us? And Tam tim Think u should be the one giving it a rest pal! Burnley would never pay anybody 40 grand a weekend! Especially in the championship! 40 grand a week at burnley! U serious!

{Ed007's Note - I don't know mate, I've been at a diabetic clinic all morning and this is me just getting online.}

12.) 30 Jun 2015 12:34:56
Unfortunately Ciftci will be targetted by Scottish referees if he is wearing the Hoops , if his temper tantrums and Ill discipline continue he will spend more time in the stand than on the park which is no good to Celtic!!

13.) 30 Jun 2015 12:55:58
@TamTimTic1 what does it say about Vossen? He's got the opportunity to win a better league if he goes to Burnley and then get to the EPL. Celtic are not as good a prospect these days as some of our fans like to believe. We have to negotiate 6 games just to get to the CL and even then we'll be huge underdogs. People go on about players going down south just for a relegation battle, well that's pretty much what we strive for every season with our CL dream, hoping on hope that we can scrape through the qualifiers and maybe the groups. We have no genuine challenge for the title, he'd be playing against poorer opposition on a week to week basis than if he went to Burnley. I don't like it, it doesn't fill me with joy but as Celtic fans I think we need a reality check of how attractive our club is to a foreign player with no vested interest in the club as opposed to the MO and WGS years.

14.) 30 Jun 2015 13:22:14
Lets be clear no one anywhere in football can compete with England at this time when clubs like Burnley can offer £40k per week from the championship then players will follow the cash. Vossen is an average player his record at Middlesbrough last year was nothing special. Cifti is no better or worse and if another club comes in offering more he will go to them. That is the way of the footballing world these days. All we can hope for is to either produce a quality striker to find someone who is not getting first team football at their parent club eg Hernadez at Manchester United now that would be a great buy.It is easier to find hidden gems like Van Dyke or Wanayma as defenders and defensive midfielders do not score great numbers of goals, and can be missed by scouts

15.) 30 Jun 2015 13:24:27
Cifcti NO NO NO, do not want him anywhere near Celtic Park, ED007 is John Park still recommending these strikers to Celtic or is Delia taking more of a hands on approach, it has been proven Park cannot pick a striker, we need someone like Moravcic who offered his services to Celtic but I think nobody at the club took him up on his scouting offer, or even someone like Hartson, someone who has played the position and knows what it takes to be a success.

{Ed007's Note - Ciftci was one of the players Middlesbrough were after as an alternative to Vossen and the Turk's agent, a certain Mr van Hooijdonk, said there had been no contact with CFC so if it's true this has only happened in the last 24 hours, or perhaps PVH is using our name to force other club's to make their move.
I have serious doubts that we have targeted Ciftci but if someone has recommended him they should be sacked. There isn't a striker in Scotland, including at CFC, that I would spend any money on if I was a manager.}

16.) 30 Jun 2015 13:29:55
Fair Doos Kev, just get brassed aff at people thinking we should be paying well over the odds for a player who was not that special during his Boro spell. If we get him we get him, if we don't we don't. I totally trust in RD and compared to where we were this time last year, I'll take it everytime. Hail Hail

17.) 30 Jun 2015 13:41:36
I take it our bid was not accepted then ED

{Ed007's Note - Our bid to Genk was accepted and our offer to Vossen has neither been accepted or rejected.}

18.) 30 Jun 2015 15:17:00
Cheers ed I didn't know we had made him an offer. Hopefully he prefers us to Burnley

{Ed007's Note - The talk about Burnley offering £40k a week are well wide of the mark, Burnley won't pay any player that, Danny Ings was only on £10 -15k a week with them in the EPL.}

19.) 30 Jun 2015 15:41:41
Ur rite ED there's not a chance in hell that burnley are offering 40 grand a week! Heard Collins say that we are after ciftci! Take it vossen deal is dead in the water? Quite surprised he's choosing burnley over us mate! Would have done a job for us! But if that's who he's choosing over us then I'm glad we didn't get him!

{Ed007's Note - I can't believe we've bid for Ciftci ;( This does not bode well for next season.}

20.) 30 Jun 2015 15:51:03
JC has confirmed we've made a bid for Ciftci. Hopefully were still in with a chance of Vossen and perhaps Scepovic or maybes Stokes are on the way out? Or are we just going for a cheaper option? If Boro are preparing a £1.8m bid for Ciftci we seriously might as well pay the extra couple hundred thousand to secure Vossen.

We ARE still a better prospect than Burnley. We may have scraped by in the CL in the past but i'm quietly confident that we will raise a few eyebrows the way we will attack sides this year. Added FIRST TEAM quality will be a big helping hand though.

21.) 30 Jun 2015 17:12:24
Well firstly Ed, A hope you got on alright at the clinic? (y)

A was wondering why you were not piping up Cifti but you have made your views now. No way Cifti for me!

1) He ain't that good

2) He is up in that biting charge ffs and accident waiting to happen IMO

Another thing when am on a rant getting a bit fed up of JC "piping up" with all the juicier bits of transfer activity , should be left to RD IMO

{Ed007's Note - Cheers mate it was only my first time at the clinic after finding out last week I was diabetic. I can't get my head round the move for Ciftci, I'm really disappointed if that's the level of player we're looking at and expecting CL football. I've made my feelings about JC known in the past and nothing's happened to change my mind.}

22.) 30 Jun 2015 17:25:52
Timalloy, I have been saying for about three years now that Celtic need a striker's coach that doubles up as a scout at first a took pelter's for it but now people warming to it

All these shot shy / rough diamond types that cannot cope with the weight of the jersey is driving me round the bend!

Bangura/Pukki/Fridjohnson/Balde even Boerigter we were told could play up front did these guys muster FIFTY games between them?

23.) 30 Jun 2015 17:37:48
Knowing us we'll probably not get vossen or ciftci! But it's clsssic Lawell I'm afraid! If vossens our top target then go for him! But again we drag our heels and then try and get ciftci on the cheap! But like I've said a few times,this doesn't surprise me at all! It's the same thing every transfer window!

24.) 30 Jun 2015 19:19:06
Goodness gracious me. Guys the club is getting slated here and they have done precisely NOTHING except put a bid in for Vossen according to our knowledgable ed. Let them sign a player then make a judgement you are judging them before they have even committed the crime so to speak lol.

25.) 30 Jun 2015 19:40:50
Maybe Celtic are trying to get Vossen to make his mind up by putting it out there that we are looking at other options. All this is I think is a game of cat and mouse. I could be wrong though

26.) 30 Jun 2015 20:20:04
If it is Ciftci we are going for at least he would put some bite into our attack. (see what I did there)

27.) 30 Jun 2015 17:54:14
Am sorry to hear that Ed, Your well being is more important than the fitba' (Y)

If it is any consolation my grandfather had and controlled it for years and years (ironically an ex boxer too) so hopefully at a level easily manageable mate and does not curtail or hinder you to much moving forward ATVB (Y)

{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate, that's appreciated. Me and one of my cousins were the only male members of my family not to have been diagnosed with it and my dad was diagnosed in his 20s so I'm a bit genned up on it but trying to change my diet is going to be a nightmare for me.}

29 Jun 2015 20:28:39
Reading that genk said vossen has an offer from a club and they'r waiting to see if he accepts it or if he stays! U heard anythin ED? Hope we're the club theyr talkin about.

{Ed007's Note - Yes we're the other club.}

1.) 29 Jun 2015 20:39:44
Cheers bud! What u think about this guy ED,u think he would do a job for us?

{Ed007's Note - He looks good from what I've seen and he's got a better pedigree than your Baldes and Pukkis.}

2.) 30 Jun 2015 11:39:11
You have a better pedigree than they two.

3.) 30 Jun 2015 13:44:20
My Cockermouth spaniel had a better pedigree than they two. Although Balde was never really given a chance to be fair

Couldn't agree more bud! think we all need to realise that we're not going to buy that striker we all crave it! While Lawell is pulling the strings then these bargain strikers are what we're going to get! Just hope I'm wrong but I can see a struggle getting to the CL! I thought with RD winnin the double and doing ok in the Europa league would have earned him the right to get the money to add 2 or 3 quality players,starting with a striker! But I should have known better!

Watchn that game today shows we're still lacking big time up front! Aswell as being all over the place at the back! But we're severely lacking at the top end of the pitch! I think we'll really struggle to qualify for CL group stages if we don't invest up front! And I don't mean on ciftci! Are we still in for vossen ED or are burnley still favourites? Can't believe if genk want a couple of million for him we're still going for ciftci! Did we get a bid accepted by genk?

Can't see it mate! Think we've missed out on him! Hope I'm wrong but! Think 2 millions a great price for Matthews! Great servant but struggled the past year or so! Just hope we actually invest the money we get for him! Wish him all the best at Sunderland! 👍👍

Think we've had a good few years out of Matthews! He's not been the same player this past year or so but! Big lustig is the better player for me.if we can keep him fit then he has to be our 1st choice RB,maybe janko will play right mid! wouldn't imagine he'll come straight into the team but.

Where do use get these from? Thought vossen was comin,now its a right back from Man U! Find it hard to believe we're after a right back when we clearly need cover at left back! We've got fisher lustig and Matthews at right back!

That's the problem but mate! These stories practically write themselves every time a player moves from scotland to down there! Of course the league up here isn't great! A blind man could see that! And yes it frustrates me that we're stuck in it! But it's far to easy to say the leagues crap and that's why he's not getting in the Wales team! When the facts are,lustig is a far better player and if fit would be keepin him out the team! And the fact that he was injured more often than not this past year or so! Just pisses me off when every player or manager who lands down there feels they have to put the boot into our game! Sorry but he's went down in my book with these comments!

Just seen u thought that ciftci isn't our main signing target! Do u really think so ED? Hope your rite mate! Really willing them to surprise us all and sign us a decent striker!

{Ed007's Note - I do mate, I just don't believe that Ciftci will be the only striker signed.}

Well said mate! Sick to the back teeth with us lookin to bring in these mediocre strikers! It gives me no pleasure whatsoever to say we'll struggle to get in the CL! But the reality is,u get what u pay for! These 1-2 million strikers just aren't good enough! And the stats prove it! There's vossen away to burnley! I'd have put money on him scoring a barrel load in Scotland,and at least making some sort of impression in Europe! A strikers who's played for his country and in CL for under 3million! And he's at a good age! Like I said if we fail in Europe Lawell has to shoulder the blame! He's done good things for our club,but his failure to provide our past 2 managers with decent funds is costing us on the park! I think he forgets that's the most important part of football! Not what the bank balance looks like! And I'm not sayin let's be daft and throw silly money about! But give us half a chance eh!

We all know what he'll say mate! He'll spout his usual garbage about what comes in gets invested in the team! Not spending on a few quality players cost us CL qualification last year,and it will this year if we don't get our act together! we gave RD the benefit of the doubt because he was just in the door,but if we fail this year there will be no exuses! And I don't even blame the manager! It's Lawell who's to blame! We should have enough to get through the 1st couple of rounds(hopefully) but in the play off we could come up against a half decent side! Just hope I'm proved wrong ,but I think we'll struggle! Remember wee griffiths for the 1st half of last season looked like he wouldn't even be here! And scepovic just hasn't done it! Is this what we expect to get us in the group stages? Granted wee Leigh has done well when he got his chance! Europes a different level but! Ciftci for me is nowhere near enough! any views ED?

{Ed007's Note - If we don't sign a better standard of striker than Griffiths or Ciftci we'll really struggle to qualify for the CL. I'd prefer that we kept our money and just kept with Griffiths than waste any money on the very average Ciftci.
We've wasted enough money on Balde and Pukki level of players and I don't think Ciftci is any better than Pukki, the Dundee Utd striker would be a good player for 41 clubs in Scotland, CFC isn't one of them.}
