If it all goes tits up again next week and we drop into the Europa League, will we be in a higher pot for the group stage draw?

Also heard that if the worst does happen then we will switch to a cheaper alternative for a striker, ie Billy Mckay.

1.) As i've stated here before, we should never have been in this position, as we should have strengthened the squad many weeks ago! DM, PL needs to explain why the funds weren't made available for new players?! personally I'll be gutted if we end up in the two bob Europa Cup.

2.) Billy McKay might be a cheaper alternative to the likes of Pukki and Finbogasson but I keep hearing people spouting about failing to capture Johnny Russell. When you compare the scoring records between McKay (29 goals in 63 games at ICT) and Russell (31 goals in 102 games at Dundee Utd) then McKay wins hands down.


3.) Who cares, they will have to give the tickets away to get any interest

I heard Dermot Desmond tight arse has ordered Peter to hold fire on signings until we see if we make group stages, if we do he will give Pete the go ahead to push the button on a few good signings if we don't he won't be giving him anything. Don't blame Peter cause Desmond is pulling the strings and Pete is his Puppet . {Ed007's Note - This is what happens when monkeys have typewriters, it will be Shakespeare next.}


5.) Think its so sad when people slag off the europa league
We have won one european trophy in our history I would love to win another.


6.) Belter ed cheered me right up

7.) Toffeebhoy88, if only life was that simple, I've looked at McKAY, A FAILURE IN ENGERLANDS LOWER LEAGUES.Yes scored more goals BUT Russell is a better all round player, I wish I hadnt started this because NONE OF THEM ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE HOOPS.al geri. but f we don't want to act like big bhoys, then any WEE scottish team would take anyone of them.


8.) AS MUCH CHANCE OF US WINNING THE EUROPA LEAGUE AS THE GOVAN DREAMTEAM WINNING THIS YEARS LEAGUE CUP, get real lad.al geri.


9.) Two bob cup? take it you did'nt go to Seville then Goggs.

10.) Al geri why the feck do you support Celtic, you do nothing but spout $hite about them, if you don't like the way thing's are done at Parkhead why not just stay in the house
Tambhoy


11.) How can you blame Peter Lawell and Dermot Desmond for not signing players. The ones that we have been after DO NOT WANT TO PLAY IN SCOTLAND. is that so hard to understand, or do you think that because we have money we should spend over the odds on a not so good striker?

Ed, know any reason why all these signings are loans? Is it lack of faith in the boss or is it just that these deals are first to be done?

Spuddy

{Ed007's Note - It's money, until the wage structure at the club is changed we're going to struggle to attract any quality players.}


1.) The gaffer on BBC "if we buy a player for £10m what do you think the salary of that player will be? It will be five or six times more than you get at Celtic.
"If we pay that, what will happen to the other players? You have to see the big picture. It is not about the fee, it is about salaries.
Looks like ed has it right again

{Ed007's Note - I've been saying it for the past 18 months.}


2.) So what is the max we are willing to offer in wages?

{Ed007's Note - £25k but Pedro is trying to bring that down, that's why Ledley left, that's why Samaras wasn't offered a deal and it will be the reason why Commons will probably leave.}


3.) Is brown not on 30k? If we loose CC how the feck are we going to replace him with this biscuit tin mentality? We are never going to compete in Europe for a long long time it's like we are loosing our clubs soul!


4.) Ed I heard that reason ledley left, was he only wanted to sign for another year and lawwell wanted him to sign for 2 years. Any truth in this?

{Ed007's Note - There was nowhere for Ledley's wages to go, as a Bosman signing we were paying him top whack so there was nothing better to offer. In fact it's more likely that Pedro wanted him to take a pay cut.}


5.) Ed I have been told that Commons wants £500k sign on and £23k a week. Will sign for 4 years. Don't know if that sounds right or not?

{Ed007's Note - He's not going to get that, that's a certainty. Commons turns 31 at the end of this month and there is no way that the board would sanction paying circa £5.3 million to a player who is in decline and will be 35 when the deal expires.}


6.) I thought Ledley nearly walked out on Palace because he was only offered similar to what he was getting at Celtic
They got the talks going again and they offered him a bit more .
At the same time Celtic would need to be prepared to pay about £10k a week more for four or five players . That would be a big drain on the funds .


7.) Lets just say Celtic did offer an extra 5 or 10k per week on 2 or 3 players. Would it really improve the quality of player we could attract to the Scottish league? In terms of the English league's where would that put us, championship? Bottom half of the EPL? Anyone know?

{Ed007's Note - At the beginning of June 2014 it was reported that the average EPL wage is £31k a week, the previous year it was £30k a week.}

So far it's been an awkward game of pass the parcel, with there being a new stick on manager every day. It's just the bookies and the papers keeping it interesting. I've still got a feeling it'll be someone who hasn't been stick on yet.

Don't see how this is worrying, by all accounts he is a good coach. might need a Celtic head as an assistant or first team coach to help him bed in, but that wouldn't be a problem.

Possible different ideas could mean more excitement for next season.
